If there is one thing that is absolutely certain it is that you see infinitely less than you think you see. Your bizarre allegiances blind you to that fact.

What I do see, is your disingenuous methodology of preempting some of your comments with a disclaimer, thinking it will give the comment more authenticity, heft, and credence.

It doesn’t work. I see you, and I know that you know I do.

Garbage! Israel had no choice but to become a military power in order to continue to EXIST. But I get it -- you don't want them to exist. You exist is some kind of naive fantasy world that Israel is living in a friendly neighborhood. From the very beginning of their existence, they were viciously attacked.

Well before the beginning of Israel, their extremist militants were attacked the people that actually lived there.

Germany collaborated with Palestine (and others) to eradicate all Jews, the only reason they didn't, was because they were stopped before they finished.

Israel could have flattened Gaza, and eradicated Gazans the weeks following 10/7, Israel chose not to.

Do you see the difference? Of course you don't.

References, please. Why would Israel decimate an entire population for a single act of terror? That would be even greater inhumanity than the responce they put up. Is Israel thought that was a choice just because they could, now that's monstrous.

You can't help but wildly exaggerate your demonization agenda so that everyone hates "Zionists" as much as you do.

You said:

the annihilation of Palestinians since 1897.

This is a garbage statement Who were the "Palestinians" in 1897?

Do you include Jordan? Do you include the Jews? There wasn't even a concept of a separate Palestinian Arab idenitty until much later.

You insist on making everything simple minded -- black and white.

Jews evil. Arabs saints.

Let's look at more relevant dates: less evils

These estimated population numbers do not include Palestinian Arabs in the diaspora.

1948

1.3 million

2026

5.662 million

Annihilation, my arse.

2027 might show a significant change !

You create these divisions through your one-sided excesses. It is your unwavering community solidarity that isolates you.

This was legitimate after the Holocaust, but the Gaza genocide erased everything.

Today, these simplistic generalizations are backfiring on you.

Gaza genocide? if you blame israel for '' genocide'' you might as well blame dozens of other counties and nations throughout history that did what Israel did, and many. whom just went out and wiped out a whole nation for no reason while israel was protecting itself from what the UN and other countries described as TERRORISTS, now, can you argue with that? can you argue the fact that many Muslims countries around the world have sworn to wipe out Israel and kill all jews? what other country in the world ever, ever, said that about other nation? please name one.

Close your eyes for a second and imagine. Imagine a world from which Israel has been erased. Imagine:

1. No terror and genocide in the ME.

2. The ME is an unremarkable part of the world, mostly desert where brown people live, grow olives and pump oil.

3. Oil is plentiful in the world. A barrel's $35.

4. Strait of Hormuz? What's that? Hormaid? Oh, I know, mermaid. Strait of Mermaids. Got it. Lord of the Rings.

5. Iran? Beautiful country, 5000-year-old civilization and Persia Tours has a months-long wait list.

6. Gas in the US? A buck a gallon in the peak summer travel season, then it drops.

Again I'm asking: what has this world has against the jews that over thousands of years, and until now, they are hated loathed and persecuted by just all most everyone on this earth? WHY? with all the jews haters here, any one can answer without mentioning the word 'Palestinians"?

Really?! Too many to list! As declared by the UN: the Armenian genocide by Turkey, Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, Darfur aso. Hate is nothing new.

So you are saying that Israelis live in terror of only three groups espousing Death to Israel: Hamas, Iran-proxy Hezbollah and the Houthis.

But Israel does nothing about these terror groups, won't root them out despite having the resources to do so. Prefer to bomb everything indiscriminately. That strategy has done nothing to stop more terrorism.

If a strategy doesn't work, you try something else but Israel can't seem to play any other tune. Thus, a hypermilitarised society has been created, I think purposefully. I can't imagine a country ever recovering from that violent mindset.

What an astonishingly ignorant comment. How do you think the IDF should have rooted out the Hamas terrorists, when they were hiding behind, and beneath, the civilian population in a network of over 500 kilometres of tunnels (funded by overseas aid meant for building schools and hospitals)

Hiding military command centres under hospitals, schools and nurseries, and attacking the IDF from behind the skirts of mothers and their children, with the assistance of the UN agency UNRWA, who were also hiding hostages on behalf of Hamas; given your  breathtaking lack of knowledge about the complexities of the war in Gaza, I can only assume that you have a far more sinister reason for such appallingly ill informed comments ….

Can you not remember last year when Israel put bombs in 1000s of Hezbollah members pagers and killed /Wounded 3000 Hezbollah members ?

How can you say that Israel does nothing about Hezbollah ?

You're right, forgot about that one. I was thinking solely about Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon. Someone posted that it would be impossible to lauch house-to-house searches for Hezbollah militants. If ICE can do so, the IDF cannot. Israel has to bomb because actually searching out Hezbollah may prove dangerous for the soldiers. Uhh, they're soldiers, danger comes with the job.

Presumably, the pagers were a Mossad trick. Do they have no such intelligence in Lebanon?

You forgot because you seem to have a selective memory, very much in keeping with your selective outrage.

Your Hezbollah propaganda regurgitating has missed out some rather important detail. After 16 months of ceasefire, since 27th November 2024, during the night of March 1-2, 2026, Hezbollah fired rockets indiscriminately at the civilian population of northern Israel, causing the evacuations of thousands of Israeli citizens

The rockets were fired from south of the Litani river, under the noses of the UN security forces that were there to ensure that Hezbollah remained north of the Litani river as per the cease fire agreement.

However, you revert to type by blaming the victims once they respond, with no mention whatsoever of the Hezbollah violation of the ceasefire ……… pin a rose on you.

What's "winning"? More dead bodies? Mostly on 'their' side. Both sides are motivated by both hatred and fear, for reasons I can't get close to understanding.

I'm not saying Hezbollah didn't attack (perhaps on the orders of their Iranian paymasters). I'm saying that Israel is a lot smarter than that. Decimating villages doesn't make any friends. And anyone who doesn't want their neighbours to be friends should expect their neighbours to be enemies.

Israel has occupied Southern Lebanon for 18 years. Did it change anything? So why would anyone think this occupation will change anything?
