Yes, what about them? They are as believable to me as the Al Jazeerah links are to you.

The last part of that statement is hilarious!

And the IDF links and quotes you put up........

Wow! This is another one of your posts with which I agree! It is too much to ask me to believe the IDF...

I may be at times dramatic, but I am thinking logically - and, more importantly, fairly. There is no evidence that the man in the video is or was a terrorist. And there's no evidence that the man in the video wants to remove the Israelis from their land. It is only obvious that he wants to protect his home and homeland, and I believe he wants to remove Israelis from it. I take the killing of anyone very seriously, but I understand how the killing of terrorists and those who invade your country can be justified. I do take the killing of innocent Israelis seriously, and also the killing of innocent Palestinians, which you seem not to. Bkk Brian posted the video and described it as "hilarious."

...and waiting to defend their home and homeland against invading Israeli soldiers....

- The Hamas terrorists that took hostages are despicable. - The IDF soldiers who are invading Gaza and killing Palestinians are despicable. - The man in the video was not committing terrorist acts, was in what looks like his own home in Gaza, and appeared to be preparing to defend it from the invading IDF. He is not despicable. - The IDF, who then stormed what appeared to be an apartment complex, firing at everything along the way, and presumably killed the man shown earlier in the video, are despicable. But my actual charge was that the video was despicable, and so are any who think it is "hilarious."

Again, a video of a man who is defending his home from invading IDF and is about to be killed, or a woman who has been taken hostage is not "hilarious." They are despicable.

No, I'm suggesting that the IDF will kill almost every male they encounter and then claim they were Hamas.

Yes, I believe the IDF "knows" every male over 11 in Gaza is Hamas and deserves to be shot.

Yes, I agree, but that applies to both sides.

He was in Gaza, in his homeland. He was not committing horrific acts in Israel, and there is no way for the IDF to know if he did, at least if they killed him as described. Can't you see that videos like this of someone about to be killed are just like the videos of the people killed and hostages taken on Oct 7? You thought those were horrible. Why, then, would you think one like this is "hilarious"?

Question ignored...again.

But, in this video, there is no evidence that this man who is about to be killed is a member of Hamas. I agree it's likely he is, but he could be just some regular citizen who wants to protect his family from the IDF invasion.

No, as usual, you do not have that correct. The term "antisemite" SHOULD mean someone who is against (anti) Semites (both ethnicities of Jews and Arabs). So, an "antisemite" could be ANYONE who hates Jews OR Arabs OR both. And, it could be a Jew who hates Arabs OR an Arab who hates Jews.

Why would you think a video of a man who is about to be killed "hilarious"? Can't you see how horrible that is? And though it doesn't make a difference to the deranged nature of the video, this man was presumably armed and set to defend the invasion of his homeland by the IDF. He was not a "terrorist," at least not in this video. And I'll bet you won't even admit to who the real "terrorists" are in this episode.

Yes! Yes! Yes! As I've noted before in the past, "Semite," which is the base term in "antisemitism," refers to BOTH Jews and Arabs (and some others), but the term "antisemite" is now used only to mean "anti-Jew(ethnic)."

! This was because Neeranam asked you a question and you just responded with a question of your own. You do that often, and it seems to imply (as I've posted before) that if someone else (or some other country) has done something wrong in the past, it's okay for you (or Israel) to do something wrong now. I'd prefer it if you would, as I do, just answer the question with a "yes" or "no," and then give an explanation if you think it's warranted.

What's the problem? I have no problem with this, except when using the term "Jew," someone might be referring to ethnicity or religion. You don't know just by reading the term. This is unlike "Arab" and "Muslim."

FINALLY! A post of yours with which I agree. And I know that doesn't mean you support doing this, but yes, any two-state solution will be very difficult because each side will have to give up, or at least adjust the boundaries on some territory, and neither side will want to do that.

Yes, but now someone can be a "Jew" without having Jewish ethnicity, and an ethnic "Jew" can have left Judaism,

I certainly agree with your second sentence above!

Israel may not be "going anyway," but I suspect it will be reduced in size under any two-state solution.

This statement makes no sense! It only makes sense because "Jew" can mean ethnicity or religion.

"They," the [censored], who is in charge of the Israeli government right now.
