You can't deliberately kill innocent civilians and then declare anyone who criticizes the current rightwing government of Israel over it's needless bloodshed as "Anti-Semitic."

I believe Netanyahu is the number one reason why Anti-semitism is on the rise around the globe, but he could careless.

Much like in the United States with Trump's rightwing government, I wonder when people are going to say ENOUGH!

I vote Meretz .

Shulamit Aloni .....says it all .

That's the modus operandi used everywhere, even here on DU. AIPAC also trots it out to attack any US politician that doesn't toe the likud line. The US media plays along, of course. And it always seems to work for some reason.

Is solely responsible for the Global Uncovering of antisemitism?

I say uncovering because it's always there just below the surface waiting to show its face.

But I honestly doubt that it’s well-wishers of the Jewish community who are backing this war at this point.

I am sympathetic to both sides as a neutral outsider. But if this war is devastating Gaza, in the long run it will end up being bad for both communities. War profiteers and actual antisemites and Islamophobes would be the only victors here.

Isn’t Netanyahu facing corruption allegations? I haven’t really followed it, but he strikes me as the classic cynical politician crassly promoting self interest at the cost of both Israel and Palestine.

Really it’s all about money and resources (as most things are) while the passions on both sides are exploited for the personal gain of war profiteers. These people-Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, Xi Ping etc etc are at the end of day all about money or power. True of all politicians where I live as well.

They (industrialists, most leaders, their mouthpieces in the media) are in an alliance against the planet and all of us. When I put my most neutral lens on and look at it I see mercenaries gaming all the rest of us using divide and rule and our passions against us.

That a “they” always has to exist consisting of some specific maligned group of scapegoats (a role classically assigned to Jewish people by fascists) rather than the universal corrupt mercenary human with no conscience is a bonus for the actual they. A group into which the only entry requirement is a lack of any real conscience, principles or decency.

Yes but he keeps using the war as an excuse to avoid attending the trial .

I usually stay away from this issue only because it’s too serious an issue to mess around with.
But well..I am an atheist but I have Hindu, Muslim, Jewish and Christian doctors and whatever my private views I feel bad for people stressed by these wars.

(I mostly stick with issues tied to billionaires and creeps ..which don’t involve polarization wrt ordinary humans. Even during war, at least at the ISS scientists from around the world collaborate and cooperate.

After my last job I felt one should just not be online politically even anonymously. But then tech and other crap became so much of a nuisance, it forces the use of the web for personal political stuff and that’s not the power of the internet. That’s self serving deployment of tech. Sorry..hobby horse..)

Most of the doctors and nurses in my area (rural) are Arabs either Muslim
or Christian .
We get along well with our neighbors always have done .

I am all for getting along with anyone (except billionaires, which thankfully is not an issue since even people more fiscally conservative than I am rarely insist that one should love billionaires ;-/..).

I recently saw something I thought was cool and wanted to post in the Muslim Affairs alliance forum, but then I saw it was in something called Saudi Aramco world and then..that sort of dampened my enthusiasm.

And then I wasn’t able to find anything similar (and I wouldn’t want to use AI generated stuff..this is from archive.org so it must be human written). They are respectable right? Archive.org?

Well the content is cool whatever the source.

I found it on clicking on the page on Islamic Science via Wikipedia which I got to when looking up automatons.

(Usually I don’t post much on stuff outside a narrow range though I privately read anything cool).
This is kinda cool:

I am sympathetic to both sides in this conflict and not to war profiteers, Netanyahu, Hamas etc.

My daughter and her family live in Tel Aviv .
I have been a member on this forum since 2013 and have mentioned many times
that I am a Kibbutznik born and bred , surprised you missed that
( for those of you that do not understand the term a Kibbutz is a communal farm )
Perhaps in Arizona they have farms in urban areas but over here all farms are rural .
Thank you for the compliment about my English , much appreciated

I thought you had moved.

Bibi is going to ignore the Israeli supreme court to stay in power

Link to tweet

After that, my patience ran out.

I keep hoping that Bibi can be removed. Bibi is using this conflict to stay in power and to avoid any fact finding about the real causes of October 7

Any idea?

Bibi has blocked any formal inquiry into causes of October 7. Bibi used Hamas to discourage/block a two-state solution.

Qatar hits out at October 7 probe accusing Doha of funding Hamas's invasion

Qatar’s humanitarian aid didn’t reach the political or paramilitary arms of Hamas, it said on Wednesday in response to the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) October 7 probe.

The report, which was released on Tuesday, painted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policy of enabling Doha’s funding of Hamas as a contributing factor to the terror group’s decision to launch an invasion on October 7, 2023.

No humanitarian aid was provided to Hamas’s political or military wings by Qatar, Doha’s International Media Office said.

“Claims that Qatari aid went to Hamas are entirely false and serve as evidence that the accusers are intent on prolonging the war,” it noted.

Why do you suppose Hamas spent billions of dollars building a 500 mile tunnel system under Gaza?

Who else funded Hamas? Why were Jordanian diplomats smuggling in currency and gold into the West Bank?

Do the Palestinians have any responsibility in your opinion for creating a Palestinian country or is it just Netanyahu who is preventing this?

What needs to happen to enable a two state solution?

is " In order to prevent a two state solution " .......always has been .
Its why Rabin was assassinated.
