It is ridiculous, your antisemitism. Why don't we talk about what Jews suffered in Palestine before the 80s and even in the 90s?
Why don't you go to a mosque here and listen to how they are here to convert us or eradicate us? Go to church after, and see how much hate is being taught towards other religions. Why don't you ask Palestinian women who keep screaming that they will be proud if their sons die to protect Gaza, why are they indoctrinating their children? There is no genocide in Gaza; look inward towards your genocidal thoughts. |

DP. Right, but the US is enabling one side. If both sides had to deal with each other, without international funding and meddling, this wouldn’t have lasted as long. |

DP? What genocide are you referring to? The one in which Gazans and Palestinians swear to kill all Jews, even if it kills them all? Are you under some illusion that Hamas and Gaza are separate entities? |

So a majority of Americans have a negative opinion of Israel, and you think it's jut two posters posting? Mmkay. Some of us have been paying attention since long before 2023, even when we know that's when some people think this all started. -OP |

this started way earlier than that. try 1948 and Israel terror, but ZIonists are pros at historical revisionism. Mohammad Zarqa trembled with fear as he watched panicked crowds of people, screaming and covered in blood, rush into his small village on the outskirts of Jerusalem. “You have to run,” he remembers a woman crying out, shocking Zarqa out of a daze and sending him racing home to warn his family. He was only 12 years old at the time, unaware of the looming war that would soon upend his life. It was April 9, 1948, and Jewish militias had just attacked Deir Yassin, a village about a mile northeast of Zarqa’s home in Ein Karem in what was then the British Mandate of Palestine. At least 100 people, including women and children, were killed – many stripped, lined up and shot with automatic fire, according to reports from the time archived by the United Nations (https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-211346/) The massacre is among the events that led to al-Nakba, or “the catastrophe,” when roughly 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes by armed Jewish groups seeking to establish the state of Israel. https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/15/us/nakba-day-anniversary-palestinians/index.html |

Right, because the Arab armies didn’t try to push Israel into the sea. I understand why the Arabs did what they did, but they lost and the Nakba was the consequence. War is war is war. Bad things happen when people insist on using violence to solve problems. You just don’t like that your side lost.
Israel might be going too far right now, but it’s still tame compared to most everything from history. It’s still tame compared to other things going on right now. You want starvation? Go weep over Yemen. That’s a real famine. But you won’t because you don’t care about Yemen. Just like most people don’t care about this conflict beyond a surface level. Blah blah blah spare me. Opinions are bad right now while Israel is in the news, but that’s temporary. Eventually it will go away and most people without a stake in it will move onto something else. |

One side has been actively killing for 18 months. |

You'll be shocked that most people are against genocide and ethnic cleansing. As to the genocide deniers, people far more qualified and knowledgeable than you are calling it a genocide including many notable Holocaust experts within Israel. "Can I name someone whose work I respect who does not think it is genocide? No, there is no counterargument that takes into account all the evidence," said Israeli researcher Raz Segal |

Yes, but one side is exceptionally more guilty of far greater, far bigger, far numerous, far more weaponized and far more systemic atrocities against humanity. |

The U.S. results show a big swing in attitudes against Israel.
I wish Republican Jews would face the truth: Netanyahu makes Israel, the U.S. and the world less safe for Jews. The guy who allowed the security failure should absolutely not be in charge of responding to it. Too emotional, reactionary and unhinged. |

It's not two posters, it's not a bunch of people, it's most Americans. Cat's out of the bag. Israel is an apartheid state guilty of a number of war crimes, enthic cleansing and genocide most concerning among them. You can deny, you can equivocate, you can attempt to distract but people see through it, and they are seeing Israel for what it is. It's disgusting of you to desperately try to equate stating planning what Israel is and what it has done as antisemitism, as though war crimes and genocide are somehow central to Jewishness. They are not. |

"Might" be going too far? Where are you getting your news? What's maddening about Israel is the refusal to take any responsibility for the harm caused by their own actions. It's one thing for there to be civil war and starvation in a country that has always been a mess. But Israel is a wealthy, educated, well-supported country that acts with impunity as though it were desperate. Sorry, Israel, but wealth and resources comes with moral and worldly responsibilities. The power imbalance is why Israel and Gaza are, rightly, assessed on different scales, and Israel is failing terribly at its moral responsibilities. Not a good look for Judaism. |
