When Iranian missiles began raining down on Israel, many residents scrambled for cover. Sirens wailed across the country as people rushed into bomb shelters. But for some Palestinian citizens of Israel " two million people, or roughly 21 percent of the population " doors were slammed shut, not by the force of the blasts and not by enemies, but by neighbours and fellow citizens.
Tehran is counter-attacking with missiles, but doing so reluctantly because they know Israelis won't offer Muslims or Arabs shelter in the bunkers, as the Al-Jazeera article points out. Israelis have been using Palestinians as human shields against both the Iranian military and the resistance fighters in Gaza and the West Bank for years, as you can see below:
Breaking the Silence is an IDF veteran's organization that details this abominable tactic that the hardworking American taxpayer has been subsidizing for years: Human Shields
This week JCS planning officer US Army COL Nathan McCormack was abruptly relieved of his post for criticizing Israel and their horrendous behavior. The UN Human Rights Council recently released a blistering critique of the apartheid rogue pariah state: IDF War Crimes
Meanwhile, this week the G-7 leaders concluded their comfortable summit in Alberta, Canada without recognizing the State of Palestine, like 75% of UN member states have already done so.
"I'll take Western complicity in ethnic cleansing for $500, Ken."
#4: Indeed. I am old enough (and fortunate) to have witnessed both apartheid states last century. I agreed with Judge Richard Goldstone, a South African Jewish jurist who led a 2009 UN inquiry into IDF war crimes in Gaza when he said: "You guys (the IDF) are worse than us (in South Africa) using tanks on your own people!"
For speaking the emeth, Judge Goldstone was smeared as a "self-hating Jew" and the Israelis and the global Jewish diaspora banished him until he finally made a reluctant retraction. Hmph. Link: www.theguardian.com
The major difference in these apartheid states: The hardworking American taxpayer is subsidizing one.
One wonders if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, in the wilderness now, know how badly Benjamin Netanyahu played them in 2024? Shuttling back and forth over a dozen times to the Middle East during the election year, USSECSTATE Antony Blinken and D/CIA William Burns learned the hard way. This once lifelong and loyal Democrat knows so she became an Independent voter this year: static.bangkokpost.com
Iran has a Jewish population
Yes they do. A population that is forbidden from fleeing the persecution there by being barred from leaving as a family. Lots of now-Muslim nations in that area used to have Jews, maybe because they existed thousands of years before Mohamed (pbuh) even thought of paying a visit to his six year old wife's bed. Not so many Jews in those countries, anymore. I wonder why that is.
Israel has stopped all Israeli from leaving.
You mean because they don't want their people to be sitting ducks at airports for the Iranians, who have no qualms about targeting civilians? As we saw on October 7th when they instructed the Palestinians to attack a music festival of kids, and hunt down, rape and murder 1,200 Israeli civilian men, women, and children.
Oh, and Americans. US citizens are being kept against their will

Because of airspace closures due to Iranian terrorist attacks? The State Department is evacuating them now, presumably because Iran knows a can of whup-ass awaits them if they hit those American flights.
ALSO, there is knowledge that even Jews are being excluded from shelters. Israeli really don't seem to "pull together".

You mean people are panicking and turning on each other? If only Israel could be the land of universal peace and harmony like the United States (which you would know, if you ever had the chance to visit our nation on a tourist visa). Like during COVID when old Chinese people were being beat down in the streets.
Covid 'hate crimes' against Asian Americans on riseOr like the oh-so-kind-and-tolerant Muslim nations that hack the heads off of 50% of their population if they bare their ankles, drive a car, or show their hair. Or decide to take a walk on the wild side with the
