I call B.S.

You're right, but they're wrong. This war wouldn't be happening without October 7.

Some Gazans are finally getting the REAL cause of their misery: Gazans Are Starting to Blame Hamas for Wartime Suffering - WSJ (archive.ph) When news of the Oct. 7 attacks on southern Israel by Hamas militants reached Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, many took to the streets in celebration, distributing sweets and cheering fighters as they paraded hostages through the enclave. Since then, however, quiet criticism has begun spreading against the militant group, with Gazans blaming the militants for having provoked Israel’s wrath and for their inability to shield the population from a devastating war and a humanitarian crisis that deepens by the day. “People are dying every minute,” said a 56-year-old businessman from Gaza. “Hamas is the one that dragged us into this terrible vortex.”

Well I would put it this way. While hopefully Netanyahu will be gone after this war, it's my strong impression that Israelis are very unified now as far as security. So some Palestinian ruler can say they accept Israel's existence, Israelis will be very slow to believe it. So it would need to be a very long baby steps process to build trust, like decades.

It isn't a lie.

I would say at this point meeting such criteria is hopeless. Irreconcilable differences.

Denazification worked in Germany. You don't know what can or can't be done so stop acting like you do.

More Queers for Palestine asking for one way tickets to Gaza.

It's certain they expected a military response but not at this high intensity level. It's also been mentioned that they were surprised at the high level of "success" from their POV of their barbaric terrorist attack.

Of course he hasn't told his imaginary Jewish friends about his extremist Israel demonization activities.

Straw man

Classic some of my best friends are wash.

Pot kettle black

Oh no! An October 7 excuse maker and Israel demonization extremist has told me to watch out. Scary! .

Hate being the key word from the River to the sea brigade.

That's a denialist lie.

Yes exactly. I grew up non Christian in the US and was definitely influenced by the dominant Christian culture.

Yes, to be clear I'm not suggesting that the IDF doesn't prioritize saving Israeli lives or that they are suicidal angels. October 7 required a military response. Any country attacked that way would agree with that. But they could have theoretically done no bombing and do door to door combat from the start. But that would mean extremely high IDF casualties. It's unreasonable to expect intentional suicide from any nation. But weirdly so many people some ignorantly well meaning expect that of the one and only Jewish state.

Creating such conditions to make Israel look bad is a key part of the Hamas terrorists playbook. I've said it before -- Israel cares more about innocent Arab civilians than Hamas.

Jew hating (classic) from the far right is a constant. Jew hating from the left is what has blown up massively in recent years and much more dramatically since October 7. Of course I would expect denialism from you. To add, I think Jew hating should replace the term antisemitism because of the predictable Jew hating pushback game playing saying that Arabs are semitic too, Ashkenazim aren't really semitic or Jews, ad nauseum. With Jew hating there is no room for denial over definitions

Agreed. Death penalty by the state or extra judicial is much more common in Islamic societies than Christian. But it's false to say thats not a thing at all among Christians.

Sadly that isn't true.

Don't know for sure how the supreme court will rule but assume they will vote pro Trump though. Ideally, they would vote based on the constitution rather than partisan politics. But the court's credibility in that department has been ruined going back to Bush v Gore.

That is correct. "Progressives" in the west have thrown Jews (traditionally a key progressive demographic) under the bus. Jew hatred coming from the left is at all time high in the west. (Coming from the right is nothing new.) I don't recall the source but I will paraphrase a quote I heard regarding October 7. American leftist Jews went to bed as leftists and woke up as Jews.

Chomsky is a Jew. Something accurate. American, not Israeli BTW. So that proves what exactly dear? If I post 1000 opinions countering the views of extremist Chomsky, their views would be worth more or less for being non Israeli Jews?
