If Jews are not taking a hard critical look at Israel's almost genocidal war in Gaza, then their opinions do not matter. They are Netanyahu's Willing Executioners.

Palestinians have been held captive in Gaza longer than Jews were confined in the Babylonian Captivity.

There's a Blood Debt.

Israel is Banking them some Hate.

The World doesn't Forget.

Much as the Scumsbags hope So.

Israel won't last.

It's destroying itself as much as the Palestinians.

A Million Jews have Emigrated.

Their Ports are mostly unusable.

Without Plenty of Outside Assistance?

It's just a matter of Time....

@#3 ... 'History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.' ...
