A mistake keeps being repeated.
Palestinians have not lived there "for 1200 years", that is, since the Arab invasion.
They are NATIVES, mostly Jews (Judeans) & Pagan Canaanites who CONVERTED to Christianity then Islam.

Albert Einstein and Hannah Arendt's 1948 letter to the New York Times: They saw the creation of a Jewish ethnostate in Palestine at the expense of its indigenous Muslim and Christian population as a profound injustice and moral catastrophe.

Einstein and the other signatories explicitly compared Begin’s Herut (Freedom Party), born from the Irgun, to Nazis and Fascists, warning that their ideology of racial superiority and violent ethnic nationalism posed a grave danger to the moral and political future of the new state.

Full text of Einstein and Hannah Arendt's letter to the New York Times:
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES
December 2, 1948
Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our time is the emergence in the newly created State of Israel of the “Freedom Party” (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy, and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine.
The current visit of Menachem Begin, leader of this party, to the United States is obviously calculated to give the impression of American support for his party in the coming Israeli elections and to cement political ties with Zionist elements in the United States. Several Americans of national repute have lent their names to welcome his visit. It is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughout the world could condone, even by silence, the appearance of such a party in Israel.
Within the Jewish community they have preached an admixture of ultra-nationalism, religious mysticism, and racial superiority. Like other fascist parties, they have been used to break strikes, and they have encouraged demoralization among labor. In their actions they have been marked by cruelty and contempt for human life.
During the recent past, they have systematically terrorized the Arab population, attacked Jewish settlements, and sabotaged the rescue of displaced Jews from Europe.
A shocking example was their behavior in the Arab village of Deir Yassin. This village, off the main roads and surrounded by Jewish lands, had taken no part in the war and had even fought off Arab bands that wanted to use it as their base. On April 9 (1948), terrorist bands attacked this peaceful village, which was not a military objective in the fighting, killed most of its inhabitants — 240 men, women, and children — and kept a few of them alive to parade through the streets of Jerusalem.
Most of the Jewish community was horrified at the deed, and the Jewish Agency sent an apology to King Abdullah of Transjordan. But the terrorists, far from being ashamed of their act, were proud of it, widely publicized it, and invited foreign correspondents to view the corpses and the ravaged village.
The Deir Yassin incident exemplifies the character and actions of the Freedom Party. Within the Jewish community they have attempted to institute a reign of terror, have beaten up Jews who opposed them, and have, by gangster methods, terrorized the population.
It is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughout the world could condone, even by silence, the appearance of such a party in Israel.
The undersigned therefore take this means of publicly presenting a warning to the American people concerning a danger to be found in the Freedom Party in Israel, a danger to which the leadership of Menachem Begin gives the greatest emphasis.
(Signed):
Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, Sidney Hook, Rabbi Jessurun Cardozo, Irma Lindheim, and 22 other Jewish scholars, writers, and public figures.

Whether Massie won or lost, the background of this election (& the moral revulsion the "evil lobby" triggers in normal individuals) will cause it to be a milestone in history books.

I’ve just learned of the killing by Israel of one of the most courageous people I knew: rescuer Hussein Jaber from the Lebanese Civil Defence in Nabatieh.

I had known him for three years and met him many times. He was always inspiring, brave and endlessly helpful for many reporters.

We will not forget what Israel has done to Lebanon’s rescuers.
We will not forget Hussein.

JUST IN: Cardinal Pizzaballa & Catholic leaders in Holy Land state their “profound indignation & unreserved condemnation of the desecration of a representation of Jesus Crucified by an Israeli soldier in a Lebanese village.”

Pizzaballa adds:
“This act constitutes a grave affront to the Christian faith and adds to other reported incidents of desecration of Christian symbols by IDF soldiers in southern Lebanon.

It further reveals a disturbing failure in moral and human formation, wherein even the most elementary reverence for the sacred and for the dignity of others has been gravely compromised.

The Assembly calls for immediate and decisive disciplinary action, a credible process of accountability, and clear assurances that such conduct will neither be tolerated nor repeated.

Yet even in the face of such offense, the Cross remains unassailable in its meaning. As Saint Paul the Apostle declares, “far be it from me to glory except in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Gal 6:14). For believers, the Cross endures as a source of dignity, hope, and redemption, and as a summons to overcome violence through sacrificial love.

It is precisely in this light that the Church continues to proclaim that true peace cannot be born of violence, but must remain, in the words of Pope Leo XIV, “unarmed… a peace that calls to ���put [the] sword back into its sheath.’”

For this reason, the Assembly renews, with urgency, its call to bring to an end the war that has tormented this region for far too long, and to embrace a path where peace is witnessed in restraint, dialogue, responsibility, and reverence for the sacred and for every human life.”

Zionism has always subordinated the fight against anti-Semitism to the objective of a Jewish state. That this included proposing an alliance with Nazi Germany during the Holocaust was known and documented decades ago. Here is some additional evidence and confirmation.

An Egyptian doctor performs a medical miracle by reconstructing the face of a Palestinian girl from Gaza in a complex surgery.
Dr. Mahmoud El-Desouki, a consultant plastic surgeon, restored hope and life to the girl after she suffered severe facial injuries caused by explosive materials during the recent war.

@Cernovich You know the answer.

Liars.
They were civilians, children, old women, young women, people attending a funeral, people having lunch.

It was a killing rampage by bloodthirsty lunatics.

Liars.

Earlier today, Israel dropped over 160 bombs across areas in Lebanon within 10 minutes.

The IDF describes this assault as part of a new operation they named “Eternal Darkness” claiming they are targeting Hezbollah sites. Civilian apartment buildings have been completely destroyed with reports of hundreds of deaths.

@pati_marins64 Why would the US also risk destruction of Qatar gas fields or is that also a goal?
