What is a terrorist? From the dictionary = person who uses violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

I cannot see any other word for what Israel is inflicting now in Gaza other than terrorism.

Words have meaning. The word you are looking for is war. Israel is inflicting war on Gaza.

Wars are between armies. There is a war in Ukraine. In Gaza there is a holocaust.

It's ironic, isn't it? We supported Israel because it gave a homeland to victims of the Nazis. Now Israel is using our protection and our arms to exterminate the Palestinians. It defies belief.

No, Israel legitimized the right of Jews to return to and live in their ancestral homeland.
Victims of the Nazis were the ancestors of Jews expelled from what is now Israel. In the years leading up to the Holocaust, Europeans told Jews to "go home".

This is a jaw-droppingly selfish, illogical, truly stupid, racist, and supremacist argument! People lived in the area for tens of thousands of years before Judaism was invented, possibly as early as almost 200,000 years ago (https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2018/january/humans-left-africa-40-000-years-earlier-than-we-thought.html). Judaism did not really develop as a monotheistic religion until the Babylonian captivity (around the 6th century BCE). Jews lived in the area for a brief snapshot of human history. All of us except those who are purely African have ancestors who lived in the area on their way out of Africa, and most of them did so long before Judaism was invented. By your logic, why can't these people legitimize the "right to return"? And what about the many people who lived in the area contemporaneously with Jews, some of whom were Jewish, and stayed on, and whose descendants became the Palestinians? These people may now be Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Druze, or something else entirely. Why are they not considered indigenous, and what gave European invaders the right to ethnically cleanse them? And then how "ancestral" is Israel to people who are predominantly European? My blond-haired, blue-eyed Ashkenazi friend took a DNA test and came out almost 90% Polish and about 10% Egyptian. As she herself says, what gives her the right to displace people in the Levant whose ancestors have lived there for 100,000 years? The entire premise of Israel is racist and wrong.

Have you ever asked yourself why a group of Europeans, who were lucky enough to survive a war, no less, would have any interest in moving to a primitive patch of desert outside of Europe? Is this something that you think would be appealing to Russians? Why?

Are you serious? Land that comes at no cost that you can displace others from on the basis of a fairytale biblical claim? That sounds pitch perfect for a group that acts like the settlers in the West Bank, wouldn't you say?

No, I actually really don't understand why Poles, Germans, Austrians, etcetera, would opt to leave their first world homeland of Europe to live in the desert. Because they wouldn't. Jews wanted to.

Do you know any Europeans? Ask THEM if they think Jews living in Europe are European. Even now.

I lived in Europe for much of my life (Germany and Switzerland). OF COURSE, Europeans think Jews living in Europe are European! OF COURSE, Germans and Swiss have equal rights, regardless of ethnicity or religion. Now let's turn the question to indigenous Palestinians evicted from their land during the Nakba. Do Israelis think of them as equal? As human? As deserving of the same rights? I doubt it. They used to shoot and kill them if, after they had ethnically cleansed them, these poor people tried to get back to their homes to recover some of their possessions (which by then had usually been destroyed or stolen).

There are no indigenous Palestinians. They came from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. They are Arabs.

Lying sack of trash says what?

And yet DNA testing is only banned and feared in Israel? Hmmm …

Only commercial tests like Ancestry are banned out of privacy concerns. France does the same. You can order a test from abroad, have one in Israel for medical reasons or with a court order. And the other poster is correct: there is no such thing as "Palestinian" as a DNA test result: It will come back Levant, Egypt, Arabian Peninsula, maybe Cyprus, Lebanon...You can look up people's result images all over the internet to get an idea and see for yourself.

+100 I love the dna conspiracy theories they come up with.

Are you the "my DNA came back 100% Jewish" fraudster?

It’s not possible to come back as 100% anything

And there is no question that the US should not have done that. At least we prosecuted Abu Ghraib and scapegoated the individuals that did it. Israel freakin promotes the people who do this stuff.

Don’t tell it to the mouthbreather who stated that his cane back “100% Jewish”. Of course it came back 72% Eastern European and 28% Labradoodle, but he doesn’t need to unpack that just yet.

Gaza and West Bank don’t share a land border so essentially it’s a three state solution but where will the settlers go?

It seems like undoing Netanyahus damage will be a tall order for the next Israeli PM

I fault Israel for its present.

No, that’s me! My Ancestry.com results say exactly that. I’d post it here if I could. I actually posted it on Facebook years ago when I did the test, amused because “Jewish” isn’t a region. But that’s the point.

And yes, one can certainly be 100% something, like if your ancestors lived in shtetls cut off from Europeans and mostly married extended family.

“Hamas [loves] Biden,” Ben Gvir tweeted, with a heart emoji.

Others, including Israeli envoy to the UN Gilad Erdan, similarly charged that Biden’s comments were giving succor to the terror group, though using more diplomatic language….

…This isn’t Ben Gvir the provocateur, but the national security minister of the state of Israel writing in English so the whole world will know what Netanyahu thinks,” she posted. “If Netanyahu doesn’t strongly and publicly condemn this tweet, then he is signing his name under it.”…

…. Neither Netanyahu nor Ben Gvir responded to the criticism. The prime minister has faced consistent pressure both domestically and in some cases internationally over his coalition’s reliance on Ben Gvir, who leads the far-right Otzma Yehudit party. A former follower of extremist rabbi Meir Kahane, Ben Gvir has been accused of making inflammatory and racist statements and of bolstering Jewish supremacists and terror suspects.

Wonder if this will make Biden “concerned”? I guess they normally say or write these anti US comments in Hebrew.

7 months and we’ve reached the “Biden loves Hamas” boss level.

Serious question: what more does Israel want?! They own our government - FFS they are getting bipartisan votes passed in our government dangerously infringing our rights free speech. We are funnelig BILLIONS in weapons and aid. If anyone dares support humanitarian aid for you know - other humans - we are labeled antisemites.
People are afraid to publicly support gazans due to doxxing.

What more do you WANT?!?

The New York Times is reporting today that Israel’s behavior in Gaza “risks turning it into a pariah.”

I wonder how many more Palestinians the Zionist murderers would have to kill before the NYT would recognize that Israel already is a pariah almost everywhere in the world.

Because your ultimate goal is not immediate peace or safety, but for Israel to disintegrate im the short or near term, and not everyone want that. And that is ok.

Do you know any Europeans? Ask THEM if they think Jews living in Europe are European. Even now.

I lived in Europe for much of my life (Germany and Switzerland). OF COURSE, Europeans think Jews living in Europe are European! OF COURSE, Germans and Swiss have equal rights, regardless of ethnicity or religion. Now let's turn the question to indigenous Palestinians evicted from their land during the Nakba. Do Israelis think of them as equal? As human? As deserving of the same rights? I doubt it. They used to shoot and kill them if, after they had ethnically cleansed them, these poor people tried to get back to their homes to recover some of their possessions (which by then had usually been destroyed or stolen).

There are no indigenous Palestinians. They came from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. They are Arabs.

Lying sack of trash says what?

And yet DNA testing is only banned and feared in Israel? Hmmm …

Only commercial tests like Ancestry are banned out of privacy concerns. France does the same. You can order a test from abroad, have one in Israel for medical reasons or with a court order. And the other poster is correct: there is no such thing as "Palestinian" as a DNA test result: It will come back Levant, Egypt, Arabian Peninsula, maybe Cyprus, Lebanon...You can look up people's result images all over the internet to get an idea and see for yourself.

+100 I love the dna conspiracy theories they come up with.

Are you the "my DNA came back 100% Jewish" fraudster?

It’s not possible to come back as 100% anything

Don’t tell it to the mouthbreather who stated that his cane back “100% Jewish”. Of course it came back 72% Eastern European and 28% Labradoodle, but he doesn’t need to unpack that just yet.

Name calling, rudeness, and anti semitism--and you think many of us are going to follow your demand to destroy Israel? No. Non-Jews do not hate Jews by default despite what you think.

If I could just get them to see how awful Jews are you say...we would get our land back...nope not going to work.

What is a terrorist? From the dictionary = person who uses violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

I cannot see any other word for what Israel is inflicting now in Gaza other than terrorism.

Words have meaning. The word you are looking for is war. Israel is inflicting war on Gaza.

Wars are between armies. There is a war in Ukraine. In Gaza there is a holocaust.

It's ironic, isn't it? We supported Israel because it gave a homeland to victims of the Nazis. Now Israel is using our protection and our arms to exterminate the Palestinians. It defies belief.

No, Israel legitimized the right of Jews to return to and live in their ancestral homeland.
Victims of the Nazis were the ancestors of Jews expelled from what is now Israel. In the years leading up to the Holocaust, Europeans told Jews to "go home".

This is a jaw-droppingly selfish, illogical, truly stupid, racist, and supremacist argument! People lived in the area for tens of thousands of years before Judaism was invented, possibly as early as almost 200,000 years ago (https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2018/january/humans-left-africa-40-000-years-earlier-than-we-thought.html). Judaism did not really develop as a monotheistic religion until the Babylonian captivity (around the 6th century BCE). Jews lived in the area for a brief snapshot of human history. All of us except those who are purely African have ancestors who lived in the area on their way out of Africa, and most of them did so long before Judaism was invented. By your logic, why can't these people legitimize the "right to return"? And what about the many people who lived in the area contemporaneously with Jews, some of whom were Jewish, and stayed on, and whose descendants became the Palestinians? These people may now be Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Druze, or something else entirely. Why are they not considered indigenous, and what gave European invaders the right to ethnically cleanse them? And then how "ancestral" is Israel to people who are predominantly European? My blond-haired, blue-eyed Ashkenazi friend took a DNA test and came out almost 90% Polish and about 10% Egyptian. As she herself says, what gives her the right to displace people in the Levant whose ancestors have lived there for 100,000 years? The entire premise of Israel is racist and wrong.

Have you ever asked yourself why a group of Europeans, who were lucky enough to survive a war, no less, would have any interest in moving to a primitive patch of desert outside of Europe? Is this something that you think would be appealing to Russians? Why?

No, that’s me! My Ancestry.com results say exactly that. I’d post it here if I could. I actually posted it on Facebook years ago when I did the test, amused because “Jewish” isn’t a region. But that’s the point.

And yes, one can certainly be 100% something, like if your ancestors lived in shtetls cut off from Europeans and mostly married extended family.

My mother was an ashkenazi Jew and came back as 98% Jewish and 2% other European. My mizrahi jewish father came back as 68% Jewish and the rest was Turkish, Iranian, Greek and Cypriot.

Your fervent defense of a country led by a cynical, sinister individual who will go down in history as this century’s Hitler is a choice you’re free to make.

But cut the nonsense with these unhinged claims of anti-semitism and rudeness when you’re the one defending a holocaust in Gaza. When someone, like the PP, reacts to your bizarre Islamophobic posts by mocking you relentlessly, that’s not anything more than contempt for you and those like you who are supportive of genocide as long as it furthers the aims of Israel.

And on that note, your posts vacillate between (A) asserting that Israel was “given to by god” (while also repeatedly challenging others to go to war to resolve disputes, rather then settle them like civilized, evolved human beings) and then (B) pretending to be another person - hiding behind another persona where you’re “not even Jewish”. Cut that nonsense, too.

It’s quite evident by your posts that you’re the same person assuming both personas. The logical conclusion is that you ARE Jewish (and that’s fine, of course), but that you’re also seeking to amplify the support for your pet project of defending this century’s holocaust (as if last century’s Armenian and WW2 holocausts were not bad enough) by pretending that such support is spread far and wide amongst Jews and non-Jews alike. But nobody is fooled.

Bottom line, there’s no honor in defending bad people like Bibi, justifying a holocaust, or stirring up war while hiding behind the pant leg of another country. That’s what craven, cynical, weak cowards do.

Don’t be that. Be something else. Anything else.
