Latest news is Israel is claiming that Hamas has broken the peace agreement and they will resume.

Israel are saying Hamas haven’t returned some of the dead hostages.

Hamas have pointed out that there are some hostages under the rubble caused by the daily bombings by Israel.

And that Israel won’t give them the machinery to dig them out.

So looks like it will resume. 
They killed a family of 11 yesterday for crossing an invisible line.

seriously? The US is aggressively importing poverty from the 3rd world for decades. There's even birthright citizenship which means a literal tourist can overstay their visa and give birth which yields a US citizen. 

 

Whatever mess Thailand imports they can easily deport as everyone is kept on a short leash.

There was plenty of racial tensions in the USA pre 1965

Each country has a unique history.

Jews at only .2 percent of the world population collectively chose the idea of political Zionism with the hope that the power of a nation state of the Jewish people would be good. We can argue if that was smart but it' happened.

Netanyahu is a good strong leader and we should all aspire to live in a country with a ruler like that, right?

That's why you're providing immigration assistance to OP here.

 

But if living under Trump, people should relocate out of the US or start riots to get him removed.

The person who coined the phrase "melting pot" was in fact a slavic jew who out of self interest  wanted to be included. Clearly there was always racial tensions but that's increased dramatically by further upsetting the demographics.

 

Some of my family were eastern Europeans (maybe Jewish not sure) who were coal miners in Pennsylvania. Back then there was still a strong Anglo identity which was encouraged and we changed our names, intermarried and became Americans. That's been totally turned upside-down and people hold to their the original ethnic identities.

Proving my point exactly. Thailand doesn't hold majority over that territory and it's in conflict as a result. It all comes down to demographics. It's majority Muslim then it isn't Thailand.

Interesting.  Although I consider myself to be 'English', my middle brother has done extensive family ancestor research.  My grandmother (who I vaguely remember when I was about 12 years old) was 100% an Ashkenazi Jew.

 

Under Israel's Right of Return law, it seems that I would have the legal right to an Israeli passport and to settle in Israel 🙂

 

The bigots of the forum are rubbing their hands in glee. You have jew blood, a "kosher" as they cowardly refer to juden. As per the Nuremburg laws you can be sterilized you, worked as slave labour and then sent you to a death camp. Are you so sure you wish to claim such a right?

Are you a practicing Jew?

The internal politics there are strange and it doesn't seem like gentile filth is welcome.  I worked and became friends with an Israeli guy who tried to explain the workings in Israel. The older the culture the more complex it is.

He ditched Canada and moved back when his first grandchild was born. 

 

A large number of immigrants to Israel are non Jewish. This is demonstrated by the data from the previous years.  Almost half of immigrants to Israel in 2021 were not Jewish, as per the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics. According to the data, of the 25,000 who made aliyah under the Law Of Return, less than 20,000 were Jewish. Another 9,000 non-Jews stayed in the Jewish state in 2021 under the Entry into Israel Law. Together, that makes up 42% of 2021's immigrants.

 

In 2022, of the 77,000 total immigrants who gained legal status in Israel, nearly 60% were not Jewish

https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/365949

 

The 2023-2024 data shows a similar trend but is not a good indicator because of the low number of immigrants. This was the knock on effect of Covid and the  wars Israel was dealing with.

 

Israel hosts approximately 65,000 asylum seekers, including approx. 25,000 From Darfur, including Sudan and Eritrea, 22,000 Ukrainians many of who are medical patients transferred from Ukraine under a humanitarian program, and a pool of Ethiopians that is around 9,000.

 

Perhaps you see yourself as <removed> unwelcome. However, I like millions of other people, could easily emigrate to Israel, and many other countries.  That's the benefit of  possessing an education, useful job skills and being financially independent.

You never miss an opportunity to  attack jews and/or Israel do you? And as usual, your claim is incorrect and motivated solely by ignorant hate.  As the data shows, Israel welcomes people who are not jewish.

Do you tell  Mexican Americans, Italian Americans, Hawaiian Americans and others that they must suffocate their identity to comply with your edict?  Considering the fact that much of the Southwest was in fact Mexican territory taken by the USA it is rather arrogant of you to demand that the Mexicans who lived there long before the Anglo-Germanic  Europeans arrived, suppress their heritage. And what of the native people who have lived there for centuries?  Your logic holds that the Navajo must cease being Navajo, that the Inuit of Alaska can no longer be Inuit. They are Navajo and Inuit first and will always be since it is you who has intruded onto their land.

Jews didn't "collectively" choose Zionism. Some did. The rest thought forcefully evicting another people from land they had lived in for centuries and occupying it was repugnant. 

 

But you are right the evil of Zionism happened. And the Holocaust was paid forward to the horror of Palestinians. 

More ignorant straw man hated speech.

Collectively obviously doesn't mean all Jews. Duh.

 You totally distorted and simplified the historical development of Israel to spread your vile hatred.

Zionism just means a movement of political self determination of the Jewish people. 

Hardly inherently evil.

The Zionist movement predates the holocaust by several decades

Dear Swissie

 

I can assure you that I'm very happy relaxing in Luang Prabang, or dodging the bullets and bombs in Myanmar 🙂

 

My brother is a geneology specialist in his retirement, and apart from getting paid to trace the ancestry of others, he has been working through our own family tree.  It's very interesting to find out facts about ancestors long-departed.  I remember (just about), my maternal grandmother who lived out her old age in Greece.  She was descended from Ashkenazi Jews from Romania, and my comment about Israel's Right of Return for her offspring was simply a point of interest (for me), and a 'baiting' comment for this forum!

 

A more recent memory is that my father attended the Nurenburg trials, as chief coder for Churchill, sending back coded messages of the daily events...

Again, although I don't know your specific case, I doubt you would be successful in an Aliyah application anyway.

You're feeding a myth that it's a super easy or any kind of automatic process for all with any Jewish ancestry, including even those with two Jewish parents.

It is much easier for practicing Jews who have a rabbi who can vouch for them, Jewish marriage certificates etc, but much more of a challenge for non-religious Jews without such connections.

There was an exception for the large wave of Soviet era Russians who came in. 

I think that was probably about the history of communists repressing any religion, corruption, etc. so it's understood that a significant percentage of that group entering through right of return weren't really legitimate applications. For Soviet era Russians getting into Israel even through lying was an easier path to the west than other options.

You're so Boomer brained on nationality it's hopeless. You should go study some pre-WWII history to understand what REAL Americans believed since the inception of the country instead of this slop you keep posting.

Many Jews want to move to Israel for religious reasons. Fine. Jews who want to steal land from Arab families on the West Bank and Gaza and/or build illegal settlements are grifter scum.

Similar to my last sojourn in Luang Prabang, I'm on the west side of town, near the sports stadium, and within walking distance (2km for exercise) of the peninsula.

 

Luang Prabang is my 'home' between my working and charity work in Myanmar.  I'm waiting on a work visa to get back into Myanmar but it's taking some time....
