I can't find anything about Arabs being naturalized, even if they marry an Israeli. I say they are not full citizens, as they can't get an Israeli passport. Dear god, it's the first item that comes up in google, don't just search under your bed... Individuals born within the country receive an Israeli passport at birth if at least one parent is a citizen. Non-Jewish foreigners may naturalize after living in the country for at least three years while holding permanent residency, renouncing former citizenship, and learning Hebrew. Wow. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Israel-Hamas conflict: Top commander admits Israel knew civilians were in refugee camp: WARNING: Graphic. A senior Israeli commander has made a stark concession in an interview about the bombing of a refugee camp. https://www.news.com.au/world/middle-east/israelhamas-conflict-father-of-shani-louk-says-festival-goer-was-killed-on-the-spot/news-story/03c71e631ef3e5c58a4802075140a598 The old “Hamas rocket misfire” ain’t going to have too many buyers this time around. The explanation for such things was discussed numerous times by now. That you either refuse to accept facts, or unable to learn them is obvious. Civilians are not offered 100% protection by international laws regarding the conduct of war. There are many situations in which such protections can be ignored. For example, if the target is used for military purposes. In that case, the violation would actually be with the side having civilians on the premises. Further, even with clear knowledge that civilians will be hurt or killed, what determines the right to attack is the significance of the target relative to expected casualties. Now, you can go on one of your fiery fact-free rants and toss blame and scorn all about. That's what you do. But Israel did not set up these rules. You don't like it? Go on a campaign to change the rules. Not everything that you cry 'war crime' about is actually a war crime. As for your last line - wait for it. How many of the casualties were Hamas operatives? How many civilians? How verified are the reports? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morch Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 51 minutes ago, MrMojoRisin said: So why do they only target Jews in Israel for their attacks? Why not Jews elsewhere in the world if the issue is some 7th century nonsense? Why are you so afraid to speak the simple truth? There were Arabs, both Christian and Muslim murdered by Hamas on 7/10. There were Hamas rockets exploding over Arab settlements in Israel, some resulting in casualties. Hamas does not have much of a global reach, maybe to your chagrin. Not sure what your point is really, considering what appears in the Hamas Charter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do seem to recall the UN Secretary General uttering something about a “vacuum”. Anyway, Hamas wants a high civilian death toll - this is common knowledge. Israel doesn’t get a free pass to commit atrocities because their opponents commit atrocities. Why are you only condemning one side? History will view those condoning Israel’s war crimes very harshly. Nope. The world will be a safer place when Hamas is destroyed. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do all the insults come from the terrorist apologists, can you not find anything of substance to say? Before i leave for the day.. Your above characterization of me as a "terrorist apologist" is completely incorrect! With reference to the sadistic murderous acts by Hamas on October 7, I have in parallel threads condemned the perpetrators as beasts, deserving of the death that most received. The background to that murderous action is a legitimate topic for discussion. And your responses to my statement(s) shows me that you are indeed "wobbly".
