'I am not a Jew with trembling knees'

[DudleySmith]

1. Preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state: Netanyahu has taken an approach that aims to maintain a separation between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Yet another idiot babbling about 'a Palestinian state' when one already exists.

 

[Lisa558]

Netanyahu has pushed Biden to this point.



This is the administration that went to the Congress and asked for the provision of $16 billion of assistance to Israel. They have held up one item - 2,000 pound bombs that they've held up. They're not indicating they're going to walk away from our commitment to Israeli security. And I wouldn't want us, when it comes to arms, to raise real questions about that. We don't want to increase the prospect of a wider war in the region. So having a clear message that we stand by Israel's security is important. I think the president is still saying that, but he's also saying, we have interests, too, and we're going to act on those interests.


Does Israel have a credible evacuation plan for the 1.4 million Palestinians (mostly women and children) currently sheltering in Rafah?

I’m not listening to anything by NPR. It’s just another leftist anti-Israel media source.

The fact is that Biden continues to lobby for never-ending aid to corrupt Ukraine while halting aid to Israel - those Jews! - that has already been appropriated by Congress. It’s an impeachable offense.

Biden cannot override Congress, on a bill he allowed to become law, simply to pander to the Muslims in Michigan because he wants to win that swing state.

 

[JoeB131]

….yeah, and he gave a big FU to them with the last U.N. vote and made a ” deal” with the state sponsor of terrorism Iran, as well as giving them billions of dollars (under cloak of night) for hostages.

And now, Biden is giving a fortune to Ukraine, with no accountability as to how it’s spent, and then withholds military weapons from our ally Israel as it closes in to eliminate HAMAS. Israel is surrounded by hostile Arab countries, and they see how Biden is supporting HAMAS.

Well, it's kind of stupid to live in the middle of hostile Arab countries, isn't it?

The money we gave Iran rightfully belongs to Iran. Iran also returned some of our assets they had seized.

Actually, he's holding up SOME weapons because "those Jews" are committing GENOCIDE!!!

What he ought to do is withhold ALL Aid, place sanctions on Israel, and support Palestinian statehood in the UN.

On the other hand, why should anyone concede that an entire portion of the globe is the exclusive province of an exceptionally angry, retrograde politico-religious ideology.


On the other, other hand, maybe it’s kinda’ stupid that Arabs-Moslems hold on to a 1,400 year old politico-religious grudge.

Typing out

GENOCIDE!!!

In all caps with multiple exclamation marks suggests you’re application for drama queen of the day is pretty desperate.

Lay off the nonsense you steal from the Joy Reid Clown show.

It was even more stupid to remain living in the middle of hostile Europe, but idiots like yourself are just sociopaths and don't get much of anything right. The road to a Jewish national home was paved by the Ottomans for almost 50 years, so obviously Arabs weren't anything to worry about at the time, and of course later proved to be incompetent and feral vermin, with the exception of the Jordanian King.

Wow, so many things wrong with this statement.

If the Jews of Europe couldn't live alongside their fellow Europeans, that was on them. They also had the option of immigrating to America, where they haven't worn out their welcome (yet).

The Arabs revolted against the Ottomans on the promise they would get their own nations. Instead, the British decided this was a good place to do some colonization.

Very few Jews lived in Palestine in the Ottoman Era. Less than 90K in 1914.

You're the most incompetent troll here. You don't even know what decade you're babbling about in your shit slinging nonsense from one sentence to the next one.

No trolling at all, buddy. The thing is, you want to disregard the humanity of the Palestinians using all sorts of excuses, but the reality is, a bunch of people from Europe came in and stole the land of an indigenous people.

 

[DudleySmith]

you want to disregard the humanity of the Palestinians using all sorts of excuses

lol you mean like electing and supporting Hamas by 90%? lol you're just stupid, is all.

It really hasn't worked out very well for Israel

Just don’t say anything that could be perceived, in the slightest, as racism. He HATES bigotry.


…..against blacks. Jews are fair game.

 

[Persuader]

I am perfectly all right with calling out Islamic calls to exterminate Jews and will continue to identify that as the evil it is and those defending them as promoting evil. You can pretty well count on that.

left wing propaganda in our universities has misled the student demonstrators into believing the so called palestinians are victims....not to mention college students are by nature rebellious....always ready to go after the establishment no matter the issue...hung up on the politics of victimhood....they think it is 'cool' to support victims not realizing the palestinians are the perps...not the victims.

You are not a racial minority.

You are white.

You enjoy white privilege.

You just have a fucked up religion that gives you a sense of entitlement.

Israel is so successful, so superior,. so smart why do they need foreign aid since 1948?

 

[Tommy Tainant]

'Above one of the classroom whiteboards in the Jewish day school I attended as a child hung a poster featuring the face of former Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin alongside a quote: “I’m not a Jew with trembling knees.”

I would be tempted to say that our present circumstances call for a proud Jew to tell that to Joe Biden, but the fact is that he’s already been told — by Begin himself. In 1982, at a closed-door meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden had threatened Begin with cutting off military aid for Israel’s offensive campaign in Lebanon. As Tevi Troy noted in the Wall Street Journal, the story went that Begin responded in fiery outrage:​

Forty-two years later, Joe Biden has learned nothing.
But we have learned who Joe Biden truly is. That he is doing exactly what he threatened Begin with over four decades ago suggests that Biden’s actions in pledging to withhold weaponry for an Israeli offensive into Rafah, however surprising they might seem to some, are drawn from a long-standing outlook toward Israel. In other words, Biden threatening to cut off aid to the Jewish state if it takes measures against its enemies is a feature, rather than a bug, of his decades-old policy.
Menachem Begin saw clearly. We can’t say we weren’t warned.

Biden has learned nothing from the Israeli prime minister’s warning against cutting off military aid.

Why dont you try and integrate into the US ?

 

[Natural Citizen]

A lot of people (including me) feel that the people in Gaza have suffered enough misery, but if Israel wants to invade Rafah, then the United States should refrain from giving orders to Israel.

The Jewish people are going to do what they feel is necessary for their survival, and if anyone does not like it, well ...

Just out of curiosity, why did you conflate Judaism with Israeli policy?

As an aside, would you agree or disagree that, as activist defenders of Israel's policies, those who conflate Israeli policy with the Jewish faith encourages these less informed, obviously funded, ''protestors'' to do the same?

Why not speak as a defender of Israeli policy without conflating Israeli policy with Judaism? What is to be had by conflating them, besides encouraging them to also attack Jewery when protesting Israeli policy?

From the casual observers perspective, it would seem like the conflation is a strategy in itself in order to solicit a prescribed response to control the terms of controversy and therefore consequently further fuel what we're seeing on our soil and in our institutions.

 

[DudleySmith]

Actually they provide a lot of services for us and Europe; they deserve a lot more than they get now. Their equivalent of our AWACS alone picks up where NATO' leaves off and covers a wider area to boot, alone that's worth more than the pittances involved.

 

[DudleySmith]

You enjoy white privilege.

Hilarious. Non-existent 'privileges' are all the rage now with liars and the clueless parrots who ape them. For instance,Slav employees at the Homestead steel mills on average made 10% to 20% less than the black employees did. In New Orleans Fredrick Law Omstead noted it was the Irish who did the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs on the docks and riverboats, and it was Irish and German laborers who built the levees, where some 10,000 of them were buried, covered over where they dropped dead and just left there.

And, we know they fared no better in the North. So much for the 'white privilege' mythology. They died in droves in epidemics and starvation during the winter months when employment was low or non-existent, from the 1820's onward right up to FDR's relief programs.
