[IMPORTANT] Hamas launches foot assault against settlements.

What about the thousands of people, including children, who are being slaughtered in Palestine?

Why do you consistently leave them out of your posts about victims?

How would you feel if you and your family were in Gaza? Would you be justifying Israel’s behavior then when most countries, humanitarian organizations, and the UN are against it? I doubt it.

Wait a minute... this is something I don't think I was aware of. Likud had sterilized Ethiopian immigrants? I think it's high time Likud face up to what they are, and put their swastika armbands on.

Another good question from you.

Impossible: we in NATO (NATO Nations) are the good guys and the others are the bad guys.

NATO is fundamental.

There is no discussion, my post is certainly not against NATO.

But honestly, would you expect a nation like Israel to be evaluated differently from just a predestined victim or even a persecutor now?


Two sides of the same coin.

I knew this reality.

Ethiopia was one of our Colonial States:

We committed massacres there that were never punished by anyone.

In Ethiopia since 1889.

It was annexed to the Fascist Empire half a century after other massacres, violence, torture, mustard gas, rape of women.

From Italy the order given was also to poison their waters.


The Generals replied that they would then have to have their assault troops live in Ethiopia, but also in Somalia, Libya, and then Eritrea.

Yes, I knew the contents of the link you posted.

As you can see, I also mention my country, I don't mince words.

What you pointed out won't be heard by anyone I'm afraid.

And it's important.

You will be answered something else, or the post will be edited by whoever replies to you.

Because he wouldn't know what to answer you.

Or:-"war is a terrible thing, there are no wars that don't involve these situations"

Others will justify them as the right reaction against Hamas, or I don't know what else they will say is absurd.


My answer is yes, and what you describe is true.

Yes: and it's terrible.

Yes: they did.

No: there is no excuse.

And it's criminal that this was done.

I have to think those conservative Israelis wouldn't have a problem with the Ethiopian Jews if they were white. Goes to show you, racism isn't just a Christian problem.

What do Israelis want? Genocide, from the sounds of it.

Genocide doesn't necessarily mean wiping out an entire ethnic group. Neither of two confirmed genocides, the Rwandan Genocide and the Ottoman Genocide of Armenians, would seem to have annihilation as a serious objective. What is required for the definition, I believe, is that some powerful group i.e. either a government or a major army in wartime such as the Irgun, officially carry out a policy of killing members of a particular ethnic or religious group without regard to who those people are. I mention the Irgun because I can imagine that they may have indeed committed what might qualify as genocidal acts 75 or so years ago, but I will insist that the State of Israel, once established, has never resorted to genocide a as a policy. For sure, they have engaged in policies that resulted in Palestinian deaths, but usually due to what they considered a provocation e.g. throwing rocks at them.

As an aside, I will point out that US and Canadian governments have committed unpunished acts of genocide against aboriginals. In the case of the US, this included deportation, which was part of the German Final Solution in the 1930s and 1940s. You may have also heard of the famous incident in which infected blankets were given to aboriginals in winter with the intention of getting them sick.

TBH, the only legitimately genocidal act that took place during the current unpleasantness was the initial Hamas attack on Israel.

Someone in this thread or another posted a graphic showing Jewish vs. non-Jewish deaths during outbreaks of violence over recent history in the Middle East. Palestinian deaths were much higher, but proportionately, Jewish deaths also went up. This shows a pattern of asymmetrical adversaries in wars, each of which was provoked by the weaker side of the equation, with the consequence that that side's own people died in much greater numbers than the energy. To me, that isn't heroic, it's insane.

Instead of being given special treatment, we should consider if their actions are actions we'd like to be associated with. If the answer is no, we stop propping them up.

An open letter to The New York Times on 4 December 1948. The letter condemned Herut as "akin to Nazi and fascist parties", and as a "terrorist party". It was signed by over twenty prominent Jewish intellectuals, including Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, Zellig Harris, and Sidney Hook.

Herut is the predecessor to Likud. Apparently in those days it took a genius like Einstein to recognize what that party would transform into. These days it shouldn't take an Einstein to see what Likud is doing, they barely even attempt to downplay their acts.

Would be nice if we could just hit fast forward on all these wars and just get to the end w/o the daily negativity. However the chips are going to fall, just get it over with so the world's attention and energy can be focused on anything more productive.

Far-right minister: Nuking Gaza is an option, population should ‘go to Ireland or deserts’

Nobody's going to stop talking about THIS war until they're satisfied that the injustices owing to Zionism have somehow been resolved.

Oh, great.. forever, then. Guess I'll have to learn to tune it out and focus better on things that affect Me, My life, My goals, My fun & joy etc.
