Palestinians have not voted in a national legislative election since 2006.
Arab citizens of Israel have voted in nine Israeli elections since then.
Guess who gets lectured about democracy.
The murder and hostage taking were livestreamed and celebrated in Gaza on October 7.
More than 2,200 rockets were fired by Hamas that same day.
Yet Israel is still the side expected to justify itself.
@AmyMek This isn’t an isolated story.
ADL has documented at least 24 physical attacks on U.S. synagogues since 2018, including 16 involving shootings, arson, firebombings or vehicle rammings.
A reminder than this is not criticism of Israel.
Muslim Arrested After Attempting To Set Fire To a New York Synagogue - SHOCKING...Said No One!
A 29-year-old Long Island Muslim, Azzm Khan of Lakeview, was arrested after allegedly trying to burn down the Young Israel of West Hempstead synagogue in the middle of the night.
He struck the glass entrance doors with a bat. When the doors held, he set a lawn sign on fire and tried to shove the burning sign under the doors to ignite the building. He then set nearby bushes ablaze. He was also linked to damaging a nearby Nassau County Police vehicle. Charges include arson and criminal mischief.
Are we really surprised?
READ THE QUR’AN.
Pious Muslims recite 17 times daily (in the Fatiha) that those who incurred Allah’s anger (classically understood as the Jews) are astray (Quran 1:7).
And at least 109 verses command war on non-Muslims purely for disbelief:
🔺 Fight until religion is for Allah alone (8:39, 2:193)
🔺 Slay the idolaters wherever you find them (9:5)
🔺 Fight those who don’t believe until they pay the jizya in humiliation (9:29)
🔺 Strike terror into the unbelievers, behead them, cut off their fingertips (8:12)
🔺 Paradise is promised to those who kill and are slain for Allah (9:111)
🔺 Muslims who refuse to fight are inferior hypocrites bound for Hell (4:95)
This is not “radicalization.” This is simply Islamic text. The question is not where he got the idea. The question is why anyone is still pretending these verses have nothing to do with it.
Once again, Islam is hunting Jews....are politicians going to start having an honest conversation about this death cult!?
@OldNewYork1664 The Nakba happened in a war launched against the newly created State of Israel.
Israel survived.
The pattern has repeated ever since: attack Israel, lose, then blame Israel for the consequences.
At some point, that pattern has to matter.
@mehdirhasan Gaza dominated your politics.
That doesn’t mean it dominated America’s.
You’re the one in the bubble you accuse everyone else of living in.
Zionists do not burn France. PALESTINE SUPPORTERS burn it.
That should tell you everything you need to know about the manufactured chaos that is happening there.
120 million Arabs live in Egypt and they host millions of migrants & refugees from Africa and Arab countries, and it isn't being bombed.
Yet Egypt refuses to accept even one refugee from Gaza, just across the border.
This tells you everything you need to know.
@Osint613 May their memories be a blessing.
This is why Israel must defend itself forcefully.
It is fighting an enemy that has made killing Jews central to its mission.
A generation walking by sight. A church that doesn't know its Bible. Hatred for Israel is rising and almost none of the comments cite scripture.
Get back in your Bible.
@Dejan_The_Great Israel accepted partition. Arab leaders rejected it and launched a war to destroy Israel.
You don’t get to erase the war and recast its consequences as unprovoked ethnic cleansing.
