You probably need to work on that persecution complex. My fight is for Israel to stop blockades, annexing, apartheid, possible genocide, ethnic cleansing, starvation, collective punishment, war crimes, illegal settlements, etc etc. My beef is with the stupid Americans who allow the Israeli billionaires to determine US foreign policy in the ME.

To protect a two state solution that Netanyahu and his far right fundamentalists have been fighting for decades. Its what the world wants, except Israel and the US, ever wonder why that is?

It’s not Jews, it Israelis.

Interesting that you have nothing to say about 60,000 deaths. Do you know that the IDF has killed more babies under 1 than ALL civilians Hamas killed on Oct 7. Its Israel that needs to learn occupying a people, apartheid, blockades, and starvation doesn’t gain you any friends.

About time! UK will recognise Palestinian state in September unless Israel meets certain conditions, Starmer says https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cdrkj810plvt

And 81 killed in Gaza so far today with no story. Some people are more superior than others. https://aje.io/5g969p The grim milestone was reached on Tuesday, with medical sources telling Al Jazeera that at least 81 Palestinians, including 19 aid seekers, have been killed since dawn, despite “pauses” in fighting to deliver essential humanitarian aid.

Israeli society is sick. Israeli TV personality jokes ‘obese’ mother ate starving Gaza baby https://www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2025/7/29/israeli-tv-personality-jokes-obese-mother-ate-starving-gaza-baby#flips-6376288008112:0

Unbelievable nonsense, inflammatory generalisations don't help productive discussion. Criticising media outlets like Al Jazeera or institutions like the UN is fair, only if backed by clear, credible evidence. However, dismissing entire agencies or populations with blanket accusations is ignorant. Calling a people “falsely named” or “troublemakers” again is ignorant.

Don’t forget another 81 today since dawn. Gaza’s Health Ministry says more than 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s war on the Strip, as medical sources say Israeli forces killed at least 81 people across Gaza since dawn on Tuesday, including 32 aid seekers, despite “pauses” in fighting to deliver essential aid. https://aje.io/u41s54

Oh no, another one who disagrees with over 100 aid agencies. Sound like an Israeli to me, do you really think this has any weight? Surely not.

I find your statement not only morally vile, but very ignorant of both history and humanity. To suggest that peace will come once an entire people is erased, 'gone and forgotten about', is the sickest language I’ve witnessed on this forum. 'Perpetual war' isn’t caused by the existence of Palestinians, but by the refusal of those in power to see shared humanity and Palestinian state as the only path forward. If you think the future lies in erasure instead of coexistence, then you’ve learned nothing from Jewish history, and you shame its lessons.

If you think Iran is trembling at Trump’s press conference, you haven’t been paying attention. Iran isn’t some helpless state, it’s a regional power with hardened militias, ballistic missiles, drone swarms, and the backing of major players like Russia and China. The U.S. couldn’t even win in Afghanistan after 20 years and trillions of dollars – and you think it’s going to ‘finish’ Iran? You don’t beat a country like Iran into submission – you get drawn into a conflict that spirals into something the Pentagon calls ‘unwinnable but inescapable.’ If anything, it’s the U.S. that better be watching the skies.

It affects me so better avoided. Coffee also is a psychoactive substance, or caffeine, best avoided.

https://aje.io/ity6w8?update=3861527 At least 43 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn today, including nine aid seekers, sources in Gaza hospitals have told Al Jazeera. Your Text is Israeli Fundamentalist Generated 100% Fundamentalist IDF*

You said it, propaganda, look we sent in food, and by the way we killed another 100 today.

What video? Listen to Piers.

No, neither was Operation Shield and Arrow, May 2023 and all previous cases called ‘mowing the lawn’ by Israelis. Read some history. Why do you say I support Hamas? Are you that thickly polarized.

Thank you for this well-articulated post; it really highlights the important distinction between legitimate criticism of Israeli policy and antisemitism. Your personal perspective adds much-needed clarity to a sensitive issue. On a related note, it’s interesting to mention Miriam Adelson, an Israeli-born philanthropist, who is considered one of the biggest individual donors to the United States. Her significant financial influence has played a major role in shaping US-Israel relations, which is an important part of understanding the broader political and lobbying context you described. Thanks again for sharing such a thoughtful and informative comment. Is bMiriam Calling the Shots? Why Don't Americans Stop These Mega-Donors Having a Say? I'm genuinely curious – how is it that someone like Miriam Adelson, an Israeli-born billionaire, can have such a massive say in U.S. foreign policy? She’s not just a big donor – she’s arguably helped shape American policy toward Israel in ways that go way beyond what the average citizen could ever influence. Her support for a "Greater Israel", her opposition to a two-state solution, and her financial backing of Netanyahu and other hardliners are well known. Let’s look at what happened during the Trump years – nearly all of it in line with what the Adelsons wanted: U.S. Embassy moved to Jerusalem Recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital Golan Heights recognized as Israeli territory Aid to Palestinians slashed Iran deal scrapped Abraham Accords pushed through They didn’t just cheer from the sidelines. The Adelsons reportedly donated over $400 million(largest donors in US history) to Republican causes between 2012–2020. That kind of money bought them direct access to Trump and his inner circle. Miriam even got the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018. She also funds a string of pro-Israel and Zionist causes, like: Birthright Israel Yad Vashem Maccabee Task Force Israel Hayom (a free pro-Netanyahu newspaper in Israel) All this raises the question: Why is this allowed? How can one ultra-rich donor (with dual loyalties, no less) shape American foreign policy so profoundly? Shouldn’t there be limits on political donations? Or at the very least, more transparency about how foreign-born billionaires are influencing U.S. policy?

War crimes were committed in Operation Shield and Arrow, May 2023, do Hamas have the right to exterminate those who support the IDF terrorists? Also Operation cast Lead etc

Buddhists believe in Karma, the answer might be found there.

Hmmm, very interesting and ironic from your holy book, (Ezra 9:6): “O my God, I am too ashamed and disgraced to lift up my face to you, my God, because our sins are higher than our heads and our guilt has reached to the heavens” Now I was educated by nuns and remember very well. Ezra is: Ashamed on behalf of the people. Expressing a deep sense of collective guilt. Emotionally overwhelmed by how far his community had strayed from God's law. Are you feeling guilty about what is happening in Gaza?

Oh yes you do, as I said , you are digging a big hole for yourself with all this extremism.

You are correct, regarding ‘you’. Maybe he is Israeli, that would explain a lot.
