So that's not much considering the remaining population, and probably going nowhere at this pace....which they would be aware of. How does that fit with the rest of your narrative?

Morch, If you are (I was) referring to my comment that the Zionist factions in Israel are moving forward to entirely take over Palestine, I mean they are proceeding as fast as they can without losing the support of their allies, like my country, the USA, who are already telling them to ease off a little. (According to the conspiracy-filled sources I listen to, like CNN )

Wrong. There are plenty and killing israeli soldiers to boot. Israelis are finding that it's not so easy killing Palestinians when they can shoot back.

Five Israeli Soldiers Killed Monday in Gaza Fighting

 

@thaibeachlovers

 

Reports suggest about 5000 dead Hamas men. Maybe it's them that find facing an army geared for war is not the same as slaughtering civilians, raping women, chopping off people and so on. As for Israel's casualties, so far they are lower than initially expected, mostly because of the tactics used.

More than made up for it in the West Bank since though. Now illegal settlements are springing up like mushrooms in the West Bank.

 

@thaibeachlovers

 

All the more reason for the Palestinians to try for a peace agreement. Doesn't seem that violence does them much good.

I respect your comment this time, but wonder what you meant by "have knowledge about." Isn't your "knowledge about" this subject, Israel/Palestine, based on what you read or hear on the news? And that's the same source as mine.

 

Even if your same same assumption would be correct (addressed many times on this forum over the years), there would still be the issue of you either not comprehending what you claim to read or choose bad sources. Considering the amount of falsehoods, misinformation, nonsense and mistakes your posts contain - this is one of your silliest yet.

Are there non-Zionist factions in Israel? If so, I assume they (lie you) support hamas, yes?

I agree, but this is what I read from the sources I visit or listen to on my TV (CNN). Also, I don't sit and read and listen to EVERYTHING they say. I just pick up snippets here and there, and that's enough for me to form an opinion and make some speculations. I know NOTHING I see or read can actually be counted on to be the truth, so I have to use my own judgment (not some other online source) on that. That's how I've operated my entire life and I'm not going to change that now. 

 

It doesn't matter how you try to excuse things or explain them away - being informed, and how one goes about it is a choice. The end result is not always the same. Claiming your follow news regarding this, even 'snippets', and then not being aware Israeli forces have been in Gaza for weeks is either bizarre or supports the notion that information processing issues are involved. Of course, you could simply be baiting.

There are, and you are wrong.

Orthodox Jews are generally anti-Zionist. Doesn't stop them from partaking in government, mind. A tiny splinter of that actually supports Hamas, Iran and so on. Arab citizens of Israel are generally anti-Zionist, as well - on the whole maybe sympathizing with the Palestinians, but generally not Hamas fans either. In both cases, maybe non-Zionist would be a better term, as they aren't outright hostile most of the time.

Yes, I'm sure there are non-Zionist factions in Israel. But, they would not support Hamas. Those who support any agreement with Palestinians, like a two-state solution, or a one-state with equal citizenship, would not, IMO, be what I refer to as "Zionists."

I am not "baiting" or trolling. I am just stating the truth. I post what I believe according to the sources I've seen and read. Most of the news on this subject has been on CNN. When I access the Internet for backup of something I write, I search for it and am not overly concerned with the source since I know the sources on the Internet is not something you can count on anyway.

I see the old "if you don't support israel you must be a supporter of terrorists" BS is being trotted out.

Do they call Jews that oppose the israeli actions in Gaza anti semitic?

Yes, and there are Zionist factions within Israel and Israelis. There are also peaceful factions. I don't know why you can't understand and admit this.

No, I wouldn't call Jews that oppose the current Israeli military actions in Gaza "anti-Semitic." In fact, if I had to use that term, I would call them "pro-Semitic," since they would seem to support non-violence against Palestinian civilians.

Hamas's Western Apologists Have Become Hamas Enthusiasts. As a Gazan, I'm Horrified | Opinion

Yet Hamas' Oct. 7 massacre of 1,200 Israelis, mostly civilians, has bred a far more disturbing form of Hamas apologia. Instead of their usual distracting methods, this time you had people actually gleefully endorsing Oct. 7 as a form of legitimate armed resistance to occupation. Others attempted to "contextualize" the attack by pointing out the conditions in Gaza and the overall injustices experienced by Palestinians. Still others tried to downplay the atrocities themselves—either their horrific nature or the numbers involved.

That would be you being clueless again.

There are anti-Zionist groups in Israel which do support Hamas etc. but they are fringe.

 

Most of Israel's Center-Left parties and voter base are, more or less, in favor of reaching some sort of agreement/understanding with the Palestinians. The vast majority of these are Zionists.

 

There are far left elements which aren't Zionist, and are in support of an agreement with the Palestinians - but do not support Hamas.

 

Your usage of the term 'Zionist' is out of touch with reality and fact.

And somehow, even despite all you efforts, you still manage to get it wrong more often than not. Doesn't give you pause, obviously.
