If you aren't a Zionist, you're morally bankrupt.
Israel is mentioned more than 2200 times in the Torah, Jerusalem more than 600. It is not mentioned once in the Koran (other than as the Jewish homeland). It is the heart of Jewish identity.
For 3800 years, Jews have lived in Israel, continuously, an unbroken thread of living soul and flesh. This predates Christianity by two millennia and Islam by three.
Since 500 years BCE, Jews have prayed three times daily to return to Israel and rebuild their Temple.
Imagine if Rome had remained in the hands of the Visigoths.
Or if Mecca had been seized repeatedly by empires, and Muslims forcibly converted and exiled.
Rome belongs to Christians.
Mecca belongs to Muslims.
Zion belongs to Jews.
Israel is the land of the Israelites. The Jews come from Judea.
This isn't about empires, wars, or demographics.
Supporting Jews in their spiritual homeland is simply the right thing to do.
@AviKaner Yes... I'm sure thes infiltrating Palestinians are all just helpful Innocents looking for gainful employment. This is a car full of terrorists and they should be shot.
On This Day โ June 5, 1948
In April 1948, 22-year-old Robert F. Kennedy traveled through British Mandate Palestine & saw: Jerusalem had a clear Jewish majority & Arab forces were openly preparing to annihilate every Jew the moment the British left.
This day, one of his dispatches from the Land of Israel was published in the Boston Post, capturing the grim reality:
โThe City of Jerusalem has more Jews than Arabs but the immediate surrounding territory is predominately Arab โฆ It is by this road [from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem] that the Jewish population within Jerusalem must be supplied, but it is fantastically easy for the Arabs to ambush a convoy โฆโ
He added with chilling detail:
โThe Arabs โฆ would poison [the water]. The Jews โฆ had a central water system installed โฆ Unfortunately for them, the reservoir is situated in the mountains and it and the whole pipeline are controlled by the Arabs.โ
RFK saw British troops disarming Jewish convoys while thousands of Iraqi, Syrian, Lebanese, and Transjordanian Arab soldiers poured in unmolested.
He watched the Haganah fighting desperately to keep the Tel AvivโJerusalem road open โ calling it โour battle of the Atlanticโ โ because without it, Jerusalemโs Jews would have been starved or slaughtered.
With brutal clarity, the young Bobby Kennedy documented what so many still deny today: the Jews were not the aggressors. They were fighting for their ancient homeland โas of right and not on sufferance,โ rebuilding a desolate land while Arab forces and British obstruction tried to crush them.
A 22-year-old future U.S. Attorney General and Senator saw the truth with his own eyes: the Jews were simply the ones refusing to die.
@rembaba7340@nick_matau except that Palestinians are not direct descendants of Philistines, and the Philistines want themselves indigenous to Levant, but came across the Mediterranean Sea from the Aegean area.
@aziz0nomics@nick_matau Every human being on Earth has African DNA. But they aren't "African". Some have Hittite DNA but there are no Hittites.
The Jewish people existed then and exist now, in the same land, continuously since the Bronze Age.
The "Palestinians" were never a people.
@HummusAndFul@aziz0nomics@nick_matau Correct. And every human being on Earth has African DNA. But they aren't "African". Some have Hittite DNA but there are no Hittites.
The Jewish people existed then and exist now, in the same land, continuously since the Bronze Age.
The "Palestinians" were never a people.
In 1979, the mullahs tortured the Shah's favourite horse to death.
The horse, Azar, was paraded in the streets. They broke his legs, cut his tongue out, and then shot him in the head in front of a large crowd.
Iran is occupied by demons from hell.
This is inversion so callous it's hard to believe.
The Holocaust had a survival rate of about 30%. Millions of people disappeared from European cities and towns over several years. Everybody knew because it was happening all around them.
Gaza has a survival rate, despite the worst and most deadly and horrible periods of the war, of 97%.
All the dead Jews were noncombatants. A large percentage of the dead Gazans were combatants.
And the Jews of Europe, even as their millennia-old civilization was being systematically wiped out, wanted nothing from the societies that surrounded them except to be allowed to live in peace.
Gaza's leadership of religious fanatics, meanwhile, wants every last Israeli dead and gone, is willing to fight to the last Gazan to achieve that aim, has said so publicly and worked for decades to blow up every peace attempt -- and even now believes that Gaza's destruction would be a worthwhile sacrifice to lay on the altar of Israel's destruction, because their god told them so.
So Israelis can reasonably believe, given those features of the Gaza war that aren't true about any genocide ever, and were pretty much the opposite of what was happening in the Holocaust, that Gaza's suffering is a bad and painful war, but not remotely a genocide.
But the point of it all, of course, is not to analyze Gaza, but specifically to lump it together with the Holocaust -- to cast the Jews as the new Nazis.
The only reason this person would dare to make such an insanely ahistorical and immoral parallel is because this is the heart of the bigoted propaganda campaign in which he enthusiastically participates: The point of it all is to make the Jews into the Nazis.
A culture that obsessed about Jews being evil and was then shocked by the Holocaust into obsessing about dead Jews as the apotheosis of righteous victimhood is now obsessively engaged in knocking Jews off that moral pedestal they themselves put them on.
That's why they don't care one whit about Hamas massacres of Gazans, about genocidal wars in Syria or Yemen (even when they've funded and armed the sides), about flotilla activists currently held by the Libyans...literally nothing triggers a response except Jews.
They still, even after all these generations, no matter what else is happening in the world or in their own societies, can't stop thinking about Jews.
And as we Jews learned in the 1940s -- the actual, historical 1940s, not the weird fantasies conjured up by these bigots -- a whole society can be in the grip of a callous, destructive bigotry and still believe it is true and righteous.
@LinaJZak@EylonALevy No, they aren't.
Their outrage is performative and will vanish with the next leftist cause.
And you reposted this, so you are a weak-minded gull.
@SharonC97936831@EylonALevy@usabmc I think you're being an optimist, Sharon. I really don't think these people have this kind of depth. TikTok is much more their speed.
The idiotic political class in Europe spent the last two years stabbing Israel in the back and legitimizing Islamic jihad and Hamas to appease millions of Muslim voters, not seeing that the monster they accommodate for votes will eat them for lunch and burn their nations to the ground.
After the seventh of October I genuinely believed it was my duty to stand tall, educate the ignorant and extend the hand of measured discourse like some chinless twit.
What a magnificent waste of breath.
Two and a half years on, the mask has slipped & the delusion is dead. You cannot reason with Groypers, Nazis, Islamists, or the brain-rotted far left. Their skulls are fortified concrete.
Wave an AI image of Gazan toddlers shivering in the snow in a place that has never seen it, and they weep, they rage, they share it as holy truth.
Blood libels reborn for the smartphone age. Ancient Jew-hatred given a fresh coat of TikTok glitter and keffiyeh cosplay. Well done.
I am finished being the polite, softly-spoken moderate. Finished pretending dialogue is possible with people who prefer medieval fantasy to reality.
If you come for my people you will meet a fuck-you Jew who no longer gives a single shit about your feelings. I stand with my own, fiercely and without apology. Step in my way and I will shove you back twice as hard, teeth bared, manners discarded.
You had your chance at conversation. You chose lies, libels and genocidal chanting instead. Splendid choice.
We are still here. We are no longer asking nicely. And we will not be lectured by the morally bankrupt.โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
