More barbarian terrorists to behead babies, rape, and shoot at close range dancing people at music festivals?

Define Palestinian homeland. Hamas wants Israel to not exist at all. Your rhetoric sounds similar. Hamas had the opportunity to make Gaza bloom into peace and prosperity if they had only agreed to live in peace and cooperation with Israel. Remember that Israel left Gaza long ago.

Yes. A massive amount of land compared to what modern people picture as historical Palestine.

Bull. It's a fact that that identity was created for political reasons in response to Israel. Acknowledging facts doesn’t make anyone dissappear. As far as dissappearing people, it's Hamas and much of the Arab side that want to exterminate Jews. Witness what just happened.

Palestinian Arabs as a distinctive identity group was an artificial political construct created by Egyptian raised Yasser Arafat. Before Israel the Jews in the area identified as Palestinians.

I never said there were no Arabs on the coast during the Zionist pioneer times.

To be determined.

Yes of course. What other army does that? But they've been clear this is now a very major war and regretfully there will be many civilians killed. Blame Hamas terrorists for starting this. Hamas must be totally removed.

This topic as could be predicted has attracted antisemites.

Racist crap.

My info says not very many Israeli (or Ukrainian dodgers). Russians yes scads of them.

Different reasons to return. Holidays ended. Need to return to work even in war. Different parts of Israel differently effected by the war. Called by the IDF as a reservist to fight the Hamas terrorists. 300,000 were called.

Never mind the Hamas terrorists, huh? Their charter says KILL ALL JEWS.

Exactly!

Nope.

I'm so surprised that Israel demonizers would mock Zelinsky.

Well all the Israeli settlements on the west bank have certainly made a two state solution much harder to accomplish, if not almost impossble. I do blame Israel for that. But this war is against the Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

A little bit of history. When early Zionist pioneers started migrating to Israel the Arabs were mostly in the hilly areas. The coastal areas were mostly clear. So the Zionists settled there. There were Arabs of course and they were paid for their land. Going forward there was a lot of migration of Arabs from other Arab regions into the Zionist areas for economic reasons. So the Jews were there before a lot of the Arabs. I think only about 400,000 Arabs were actually displaced by the founding of Israel and many left that didn't need to leave. And many of them were migrants, more recent than the Jews! But now somewhat mysteriously there are many millions of "Palestinian Arabs" globally who think they have claims to Israel. Permanent refugees for how many decades now? What other displaced group has become PERMANENT refugees? That isn't Israel's fault -- that's mostly the Arab world's fault for not accepting the right of Israel to exist and not accepting the "Palestinian" Arabs to be integrated into their nations -- sticking them in camps instead. Best example -- Lebanon.

Palestinian Arabs never had their "own country" but that's a typical Israel demonizer false belief.

But YOU condemn them, yeah?

There is a pretty good chance he must return to Israel to fight the Hamas terrorists. Israel is doing its biggest reservist mobilization in their history and it includes Israelis abroad. But be that as it may, it sounds like he might have grounds for a mental deferment.

They did but it wasn't the Israeli government that did it. Hamas is the Gazan government. Get the difference, Chuckie?

Earth to Mr. Mojo. Somehow I don't think mass murdering innocent civilians, shooting them at close range, raping them, and kidnapping large groups of them to be used as pawns to probably later be murdered on video is really going to move global public opinion in their direction.

So you have no answer to the POV of the Hamas terrorists. Very predictable.

No. It was Hamas, the terrorist ruling government of Gaza. There were also huge celebrations on the West Bank, etc.
