@bradlander You might be Jewish by blood, but not by soul. At least you’re not hiding your contempt for the vast majority of your Jewish brethren. We see you for who you are.
@AmitSegal This is all gibberish. I’m not sure anyone has a clue what’s going on. But it sure appears that Trump got spooked by Iran saying talks were off and now Israelis are going to suffer for it.
I find the new Iranian demands to tie in Lebanon and Gaza interesting. Strategically Trump should say sure, so long as ending funding to proxies becomes part of the ceasefire deal.
Question: Which of these are genocides?
3% = Percent of populace of Gaza killed in the war
2.5% = Percent of populace of US killed in the civil war
4% = Percent of populace of Europe killed in WW2
33% = Percent of Muslim men in Srebrenica killed in 12 days
50-75% = Percent of Armenians in Turkey killed by the Young Turks
67% = Percent of European Jews killed by the Nazis
Do you get it now or do you need to call a friend for help?
@Englishfirsborn@ianbremmer Trump isn’t on the ballot and I’m not sure he really cares about the midterms. So doubtful he has some grand planning to re-exert pressure after the elections.
@joe_schick Totally agree. Less than zero chance. Just trying to read the tea leaves as to what Trump was actually trying to telegraph with the statement, since he clearing isn’t requiring this to happen.
@sfrantzman@adam_louis52328@Liorfink While I agree with all you are saying, it is still true that the world reaction is totally out of proportion with the “crime” and this selective criticism is, in and of itself, a symptom of antizionism. Israel of course should aspire to be better. That doesn’t change things.
@OrenKessler Are people actually buying this story? I’m not saying it’s impossible as an idea that may have been pursued together with others, but to say it was THE singular plan seems crazy give the number of dominos that would have needed to fall just right for this to pan out.
@AOC@johnnygarciatx Thanks for calling it out. But the anti-Zionist rhetoric you and your pals continue to spew is what have all but normalized this type of hate.
@davidhazony Is it just a clown show or is there something else going on? I genuinely have no idea. But to think Trump would just put out a statement like that and expect the Gulf countries to just nod along seems whacky.
Narrative violation warning:
Elders in my Arab village in Israel told me the richest Palestinians sold their land and left first. 80 years later, their grandkids now claim to be displaced victims.
I am so allergic to victim mindset. It boils my blood. ~15 million displaced Hindus and Muslims in India-Pakistan around the SAME year. No one is trying to be a victim there. It's time to move on.
"You only get to be a victim once. After that, you’re a volunteer."
This should be self evident. But the number of people in hateful comments that are repeating this claim as if it’s somehow damning anyone/anything but their own intellect is comical.
An Israeli and a Palestinian meet. The Israeli extends a hand in peace; the Palestinian curses him in return. A 1:18 clip that sums up the entire conflict.
@HibaNasr@WSJ Well that would be a pretty great deal. Not holding my breath though, to say the least. Very confused as to what’s actually going on here.
