Around 30% if Jewish Israelis weren’t even born there. Most of the rest are just one generation in.
So, supporting all terorrism will be treated the same way, right? Or does this only apply to terrorism not conducted by the “good guys”?
Yeah, this is clickbait. It didn’t “drop”, the pilots carefully and deliberately flew it quickly to a safe altitude. Reputable source: https://avherald.com/h?article=51a4c509&opt=4096
Y combinator discussion suggests this author posts completely made up garbage:
More than 92,600 people have been displaced from their villages in south Lebanon by the attacks, according to the IOM.
Casey Handmer seems to think there’s still an opportunity here. There are updated versions of that post, but I think this was his first on the topic.
Hey now, they’re only bombing the Gaza part of Palestine. In the West Bank they’re just shooting the people and stealing land slower. And in the rest of Palestine they haven’t needed to do much of either after they terrorized the locals into fleeing back in 1948.
He’s caught on a bunch of stuff. This is just the first one to get through trial because of the delay tactics of the judge he appointed in one and the delay tactics of the Supreme Court in another and delays associated with poor judgement in the private lives of the prosecution in another triggering delays.
The other one, Yassin / Yasin Rabia. Which for all I know could also be like John Smith.
Senior Hamas member Yasin Rabia, responded to the attack, saying[…]
That was the name I saw in reports about the Rafah killings.
Israeli settlers went on a violent rampage last month, inciting and co-ordinating attacks on WhatsApp.
> What followed was a wave of shooting and arson attacks across 11 Palestinian villages in which a dozen homes and more than 100 cars were torched, thousands of animals were slaughtered, four people were shot dead and scores of others were seriously wounded.
Completely agreed. That said, this pre-October-7th article does list a person with the same name as one of the claimed targets of this attack giving statements on behalf of Hamas, so assuming they aren’t lying about having killed him, in this particular case the claims seem plausible. They attacked a Hamas member and included their preferred amount of collateral damage.
BBC is saying Israel claims this one took out two Hamas officials, so it seems like a typical “why kill few Palestinian when kill many do trick” case.
You could link to resources on Jewish opposition to Zionism.
Until World War II, anti-Zionism was widespread among Jews for varying reasons. Orthodox Jews opposed Zionism on religious grounds, as preempting the Messiah, while many secular Jewish anti-Zionists identified more with ideals of the Enlightenment and saw Zionism as a reactionary ideology.
The whole article has a fantastic background. Basically, Zionism was considered sinful!
Thanks, I hadn’t looked into this one in more detail.
It’s tough being an informed consumer of news given that we know both Israel and Hamas lie their asses off, so it’s basically equally likely:
- Israel murdered more civilians for fun / to advance their genocide
- there’s crystal clear video showing that the rockets were launched from these tents, or by people who were living in them (which, ignoring that Israel’s theft of land and brazen mass slaughter motivating these attacks, would traditionally make this a legitimate military target). Of course even in this case, a non-terrorist/genocidal country could use means to attack that are more selective. Israel just likes to specifically use non-selective attacks to cause as much collateral damage as possible%20to%20secure%20that%20end.).
It sucks.
Ok, after some more reading about the government of Palestine, this is not a completely unreasonable position. Thanks for pointing out the lack of elections in the occupied West Bank too.
The DW documentary “Israel - Birth of a State” is very informative if you can find a way to watch it. It’s from earlier in 2023, by one of Germany’s major news outlets.
Ah yes, nobody expelled anyone from anywhere in 1948.
The Deir Yassin massacre took place on April 9, 1948, when Zionist paramilitaries attacked the village of Deir Yassin near Jerusalem, Mandatory Palestine, killing at least 107 Palestinian villagers, including women and children. … The massacre was carried out despite the village having agreed to a non-aggression pact. … was a central component of the Nakba and the 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight.
I upvoted you, because your point about the occupied West Bank is valid, but let’s be clear: Hamas is very much a problem. They haven’t held real elections in Gaza for close to 2 decades and have been in severe violent internal conflict with their Palestinian opposition.
Israel being genocidal maniacs doesn’t mean everyone shooting rockets at them is automatically a good guy.
Maybe more genocide will make Israel safe. Genocide is the best path to peace and security, right? 🤪
Hamas fires rockets towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in months.
> Hamas says it has launched a rocket attack towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in nearly four months. > At least eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza and several were intercepted, the Israeli military says. No injuries have been reported.
More than 800 officials in the US and Europe have penned a letter calling for more pressure on Israel.
> More than 800 serving officials in the US and Europe have signed a statement warning that their own governments' policies on the Israel-Gaza war could amount to "grave violations of international law".
