Holy moly, what a crock! Your post has too much BS to respond to, but the link about the Samantha Woll murder quotes the DA saying there is no evidence whatsoever that it was a hate crime. She was not killed because she was Jewish. |

Can you try to put yourself in the position of a civilian in Gaza? Your house is destroyed. Your spouse and a couple of your kids have been killed. You are hungry. Your baby is crying for food. Who do you hate more: Hamas or IDF? The bombs are obviously coming from Israel. Would you ever forgive Israel? Or would your tears and your sorrow inspire your baby (if he survives) to rise up against Israel in 20 years? How exactly is Israel’s continued punishment of Gaza making things safer for Israel in the long term? If you still think it does, how do you see the aftermath of the war unfolding? What’s the recovery plan? |

Not sure if you’re saying that because you think that no Israeli general has committed even a single war crime or because you know the U.S. would obviously interfere on Israel’s behalf to block any such prosecution, but your assets are quite at risk if you’re relying on the former. |

Hamas was concerned that the trade agreement Jared Kushner negotiated with the Saudis would hurt their benefactor, Iran. This is part of why they did what they did on Oct 7.
And on cue... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/19/jared-kushner-gaza-waterfront-property-israel-negev Jared wants to eradicate or remove the Palestinians so the beachfront Gaza area can be redeveloped. |

I don't agree with the arguments made to create Israel from what was Palestine ("we're the indigenous people," "God gave us the land," etc.). They sound like the arguments a child would make in an effort to persuade his mother to give him his brother's favorite toy. Like a child's arguments, they are entirely self-referential and ignore the interests of all other parties. They fall apart very quickly under analysis, which is why supporters of Israel are so eager to suppress analysis and information with cries of "antisemitism." This has worked quite well for Israel in the past, but people see through it now. When Israeli historians like Teddy Katz and Ilan Pappe uncovered uncomfortable facts about Zionist crimes against humanity during the Nakba, Israel found ways to shut them down. Katz's career was destroyed, and Pappe left Israel because he didn't feel safe there. He received death threats, and a member of the Knesset called for him to be fired. Israel shuts down dissent by murdering journalists. Sorry, but you can't silence all of us who are outraged by Israel's behavior. Palestinians have suffered terrible injustices through the creation of Israel. Their rights have been repeatedly and horrifically violated. During the Nakba, they were brutally evicted from their land through massacres and rapes, and their homes were either destroyed or given away to immigrants. About 750,000 of them were driven out of the region. This process of brutal land grabbing continues to this day in the West Bank. Israel's treatment of Palestinians certainly involves ethnic cleansing. Under some definitions of the term, it is also genocide. Biden has clearly condemned both Islamophobia and antisemitism. Why are you indignant over his condemnation of Islamophobia when a 6-year-old Palestinian boy was recently stabbed to death in Chicago? Sadly, your reaction indicates that you don't see Palestinians as being your equals. Their needs and suffering are of secondary importance to you. Antisemitism exists, unfortunately, and all hate crimes are horrific, but I'm not seeing any concern from you about Palestinian suffering. Frankly, I spend a lot less time worrying about "why Jewish people are scared, and traumatized" than about why Palestinian children are scared and traumatized. I worry far more about Palestinian children actively starving, losing their parents, siblings, and limbs, dying of disease brought on by conditions Israel has created, dying slowly and alone of thirst and blood loss under the rubble of bombed buildings, being homeless, being unable to access healthcare, and being denied an education because their schools have been destroyed--I worry far more about that than I do about your hurt feelings that people are turning against Israel. |

They fully intend to kill them all. They've made that pretty clear. No need to worry about future generations once you've eliminated them all. |

Washington Post today has an analysis of this strike that killed Hamza Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya. More lies from the IDF. No Israeli soldiers, aircraft or other military equipment are visible in the footage taken that day — which The Post is publishing in its entirety — raising critical questions about why the journalists were targeted. The Post found no indications that either man was operating as anything other than a journalist that day. Both passed through Israeli checkpoints on their way to the south early in the war; Dahdouh had recently been approved to leave Gaza, a rare privilege unlikely to have been granted to a known militant. In response to multiple inquiries and detailed questions from The Post, the IDF said: “We have nothing further to add.” Since Thuraya and Dahdouh were killed, “no one dares to fly any drones,” said Anat Saragusti, director of press freedom at the Union of Journalists in Israel. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/03/19/gaza-journalists-killed-israel-al-jazeera-footage/ |

"As the wealthy children build sand castles in the sand . . .'Look Mom, I found a tooth.'" Ooof! That is a chilling and pertinent comment on the erasure of Palestinians 
Jared is embarrassing in the linked article. That this intellectually mediocre, ethically challenged man should have so much privilege and power is symbolic of much that is wrong with America. |

They will never eliminate all of them or all of us who now support them. The Palestinians' time has come. |

+1. The U.S. absolutely prostrates itself to Israel's interests, and yet this poster thinks it's not enough. As an American taxpayer, I don't want to see another cent of my money go to the genocidal, racist Israeli regime. I would rather see it diverted to the Palestinians, who have suffered so much. |

Can you put yourself in the shoes of a child in New York who lost his father to the Al-Qaeda attacks on 9/11? Can you put yourself in the shoes of an Iraqi mother whose daughter was kidnapped by ISIS? The world can't live with the kind of mass terrorism perpetrated by the likes of Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Hamas. The US went to war for twenty years after 9/11. Iraq, Syria and allies as varied as Russia, Turkey, and the US spent years eradicating ISIS. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost in those conflicts. Hamas is no different. No country on Earth is going to quietly tolerate the kind of atrocities that Hamas committed on 10/7. It is telling that not a single Arab country stands with the Palestinians now. And it's because of Hamas. That is the problem for Palestinians. They are ruled by terrorists. As to what happens after Hamas is destroyed, it's unknowable. Netanyahu is incredibly unpopular in Israel. He will be gone with the next election. But whoever follows will still have Israeli security as their top priority. It's an Israel's interest to have a stable, independent, thriving Palestine as their neighbor. But how to get from here to there is anyone's guess. Much depends on the Palestinians themselves. By most accounts, they are disgusted with Hamas. So that's a start. But the quicker Hamas is destroyed, the sooner the rebuilding can begin. |

Chilling, just as it was meant to be. |

And the Nazis didn’t try the SS for the hate crimes they committed. That certainly wasn’t anti-semitic, and according to their clear descendants neither was this brutal murder. Just a coincidence. |
