Friday, August 22, 2025

The Jewish diaspora has increasingly found itself torn between love of Israel and abhorrence of the suffering of Gazans. Now, it's tentatively starting to stand against Palestinian starvation.

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.' ...

So, regarding Gaza, it looks to be the "tragedy" phase?

Maybe let them have seeds (which are illegal to import)? You know, if you can grow food you don't need the world to feed you. It is almost like they are setup for failure.

The paradox of expectations.

The world expects much of the Jews, so when they fall short of perfection, say by causing collateral damage when defending themselves from an enemy that targeted 1,200 of their civilian men, women, and children for rape and murder, the Israelis are vilified.

On the other hand, their opponent admits to seeking out civilian men, women and children for rape, slaughter, and kidnapping, and celebrates the same by dancing in the streets and handing out sweets to children, much like they did on 9/11 when our own American civilians were slaughtered. And no one bats an eye, because no one expects any better from them.

Celebrate-Damascus-Gate

If the Palestinians laid down arms today, there would be peace.

If the Jews laid down arms today, the Palestinians would torture and murder every last one of them. And the world would not give two sheets about that.

What the Israelis fear more than anything is that someday the Palestinians will treat them the way they have treated the Palestinians. Fact.

You think the Muslims haven't already done that to the Jews and all the other people they conquered while colonizing that part of the world over the last 1,400 years?

Muslim-Conquests

It's not the Israelis who refuse peace. It's the Palestinians, who have never had a nation in the history of the world, who refuse to share the land they are trying to steal.

Watch the Palestinians do it again in a couple months, when they refuse to recognize Israel, which France said is a requirement for it recognizing Palestine.

Of course, France will change their mind on that. Since French politicians are more concerned with the large French Muslim-voters-rioters population than the non-voting dead Jews.

It's not the Israelis who refuse peace. It's the Palestinians,

Ummm, pretty clearly it's both who refuse peace. But you have your agenda, so please continue your screed.

Read the article, just kidding, you have your agenda, obviously:

Assuming you can't remember when Arafat wiped his butt with the last peace plan Israel offered, the Palestinians instead deciding to launch a terrorist attack campaign on Israeli civilians. Which lead to the election of Bibi, who immediately began disentangling the Palestinian terrorists from Israeli life.
Arafat Rejected Peace in 2000
Twenty-one years ago, on 11 July, the Camp David 2000 Summit convened. While hopes were initially high for a landmark breakthrough between Israelis and Palestinians, the talks ended in failure. Months later, the Second Palestinian Intifada erupted, leading to some of the most blood-filled years in living memory.

Israel offers compromise and peace. Palestinians refuse and start wars that they lose. The circle of life.

What's that old saying, you get what you vote for? It's sad that Palestinian leadership sees it fit to steal the aid coming in for their citizens. But that's politics ...

Palestinian teenage boys report they were sexually assaulted and tortured by IDF soldiers while in custody. The victim's testimonies match the accounts of other Palestinians who say they've been abused and tortured in Israeli detention since 7 Oct 2023. Last year an IDF soldier leaked a video of a Palestinian male prisoner being gang raped by IDF prison guards:
