Here's another "we lie to the world while they cheer and applaud" moment. Palestinian leaders claim the old city of Jerusalem as the eternal capital of the Palestinian nation even before the dinosaurs roamed the Earth. This is what they tell the world. However... Here's an interview with Abbas Zaki, a former representative of the PLO in Lebanon and a member of Fatah's central committee. Palestinian leaders don't even try to build a state. Their goal is the destruction of a state. But "you can't say that to the world"... How can Israel give them a state, if they really, really don't want one?
Vox and fair-minded don't often exist in the same sentence, especially in the above context. Vox seems to be less interested in balance than sucking up the money from terrorists and the nations that sponsor them.
They are trying to justify Hamas' murders, rapes, and hostage taking. Israel should not stop bombing Gaza. 'The IDF will not alter its ‘bomb, clear, hold, contain’ strategy' 'Israel has no other choice but to carry on bombing Gaza if it wants to destroy Hamas. Its campaign of relentless air strikes and long range artillery barrages has so far been effective at eroding Hamas’ military capability and limiting the Islamist group’s capacity to kill more Israelis.' 'Hamas has been unable to respond in any meaningful way since Israel’s offensive began. It has been limited to hit and run attacks, inflicting only relatively light casualties. Israel’s unrelenting bombardments, combined with the internet and cellphone outages, will have caused chaos within Hamas’ command structure.'
Here's another nail in the coffin of anti-Israel propaganda: https://phap.org/PHAP/Articles/LegArticles/MRF_Challenges_armed_conflict.aspx The above, written by a former leading Amnesty International's field investigator into violations of international humanitarian and human rights law, is a dire indictment of the way information from terrorist groups has been handled by Amnesty. Even though the organization knew their witnesses were not trustworthy, it still based most of their anti-Israel articles on their testimonies. Conclusions drawn form such misinformation and disinformation had subsequently been fed to the media, and from there to the general public, fomenting hatred for the Jewish state. Yes, so-called pro-Palestinian activists know they are lying. The demonization and dehumanization of Jews, a 2000-year-old trend in Europe and the MENA, is now going through esthetic surgery and is rebranded anti-Zionism. Antisemitism, the oldest surviving pandemic turning people into blood-thirsty zombies, will not go away quietly.
yes marxist groups hate Israel, the ANC is part of the Tripartite alliance with the communist party. It's been radical since it was started over 100 years ago and has close ties with the Chinese Communist party
Need more proof that anti-Zionism is turning people into zombies? Here are the faces of some of the Israeli hostages Hamas is holding in Gaza: https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/...ily-danielle-alony-amelia-alony-cs-3311b8.jpg It's excruciatingly hard for me to write about the hostages. There are whole families there, mothers with their little children, elderly, Thai nationals (one Thai woman has recently given birth in captivity), and many others. One Israeli family has seven of its members in captivity. At least some of the hostages had seen their loved ones being butchered before being taken by the butchers. So far, none of the oh-poor-non-Israeli-civilians crowd has showed even a sliver of interest, not to mention empathy, for these hostages. Neither did prestigious international human rights organizations, like the Red Cross or UNICEF. Only other lives matter in some circles, and only if Jews can be blamed. The so-called pro-Palestinians are anything but. Real pro-Palestinians would be interested in real facts about the Palestinian territory, would know about egregious human rights violations by Palestinian leaders, and would care about journalists and human rights activists wrongfully imprisoned by the PA and Hamas and often beaten, tortured, and murdered. But so-called pro-Palestinians only care about what happens to ordinary Palestinian citizens when they think they can blame Israel for their plight. Zombies are real, they shout "gas the Jews" on the streets of civilized, enlightened countries.
I have said for years that Islamist nations use the Palestinians as pawns. They only use them to cover up their own failures as civil governments by trying to divert criticism of their ineptness by stirring up hatred against Israel
That has to be one of the funniest things I've heard recently. You might as well say that salon gives a fair-minded explanation with views from both sides. Those are two of the most far left slanted rags in existence.
I don't understand your point. I was replying to someone saying that a claim about Israel is true because some Jews believe it's true. But other Jews don't believe the claim is true, so I asked the poster how he chose which Jews to believe. I am a Jewish Israeli, by the way.
And you will find many Jews saying it is a lie. It is quite simple really. The Palestinians can have peace any time the are willing to quit trying to kill Jews. They are not willing to do that so they live in a perpetual state of war.
Absurd, whether one is a Jew or not if one wishes to discern the truth one most try to make an assessment as to who is full of crap and who isn't.
WHY ‘PRO-HAMAS’ RIOTERS IN NYC ARE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH IT: 'The pro-Hamas mob smashed the window of a New York kosher restaurant. Because, you know, terrorizing Jews in America will #FreePalestine.' 'It's not about free Palestine, or 'anti-Zionism': it's pure, unadulterated hatred of Jews and Israel.' 'This is happening in America. And we wonder how Nazi Germany happened.' 'Teacher forced to hide in a locked room while a mob of students riot after they learned she attended a pro-Israel rally. This happened at a high school in Queens, NY.' 'We are seeing a slow-motion Kristallnacht in cities across America as Jewish businesses are vandalized, and Jews are intimidated and attacked. Prepare for the worst. It's coming.' 'Stop calling us neo-Nazis, say the people who carried out a night of broken glass.' There comes a point when evil tires of concealing itself. 'The fifteen years - and billions in public funds - we spent on “anti-bullying” and empathy education were clearly a smashing success.'
