Ireland is anti semitic and pro Hamas [/quote]

Ireland is anti racism and prosocial.[/quote]

And anti-genocide. History will laud South Africa and Ireland for their humanitarian stance. Israel will never recover the soft power it has lost through its ruthless, immoral warfare. [/quote]

Yet Israel will still be here and prospering decades from now, and the Palestinians will still be living in relative squalor, brought on by their own "leadership" and endless pursuit of grievances which long ago lost the interest of the rest of the world apart from the sympathizers here.  Periodic acts of terror will occur, will change nothing, and the sympathizers will cry about how unjust the entirely justified response is.  The terrorists will continue to be squashed, and civilians the hide among will continue to suffer, and nothing will change.  The Palestinians have had their butts kicked in every conflict they started in the last 75 years, there's no reason to think that will ever change.  They will peirodically attack Israel and they will predictably suffer the consequences just they is happening now.

You can wail and gnash your teeth all you like about the nature of the Israeli response; it's the result of Palestinian terror, plain and simple.  No terror, no response to terror.  That equation is clear enough.    [/quote]

Every bully says exactly what you are saying. They say "might is right," and many of them believe they are untouchable because their Daddy (in this case, the U.S.) is going to let them get away with their outrageous behavior and will protect them from consequences. White South Africans used to do the same thing. The problem for Israel is that the world is moving on. More and more American taxpayers object to funding a genocide. Many countries support South Africa's genocide complaint. Many organizations and individuals believe Israel is behaving unjustly and are acting accordingly. There is a sea change in global opinion on the issue, and Israel will not be able to survive indefinitely the growing disapproval, boycotts, sanctions, and possible military retaliations. The world can change very quickly.

I find it obscene that you brag about the Palestinians getting "their butts kicked in every conflict they started." Have you absolutely no compassion for people who were ethnically cleansed during the Nakba, forced out of their homes at gunpoint and driven across borders to make way for colonial settlers with Messianic and megalomanic  views about their ethnic superiority and privilege? Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians lost almost everything they owned. You don't think Israelis started that conflict? What might have been acceptable to many in 1948 disgusts many in 2024.

Personally, I'd love to see those billions we U.S. taxpayers are stripped of to kill little Palestinian kids used for something more altruistic. We could use that money so much for productively.
