"Israel Made the Desert Bloom" is a Myth, They Stole the Land from Farmers Who Were Already There for Hundreds of Years

[Hector12]

I wish that our parasitic gaggle of disloyal "Israel Firsters" would explain how one can be equally loyal to both their wife and mistress.

I can hear it now:

"But, honey, I love you just as much as my girlfriend."

An honest man can be loyal to only one country at a time.

Thanks,

I am not Jewish. Nevertheless, I am more concerned with the safety and well being of Israel than I am of the safety and well being of the United States. This is because the United States is safe, but Israel has always risked destruction and the annihilation of the Jews living there. As a Christian I know that Jesus was and Christ is a Jew. Christianity began as a Jewish sect. The first Bishop of Jerusalem was St. James. He was Jesus' next oldest brother - or half brother if one believes in the virgin birth. St. James may have written the epistle attributed to him. I find it more appealing than St. Paul's epistles. St. James practiced the Law of Moses (AKA, the Torah) every day until his martyrdom.

I am of the right age to have fought in Israel's Six Day War and our War in Vietnam. Initially I supported the War in Vietnam. As I learned more about it, I turned against it. I would have welcomed the opportunity to fight in the Six Day War.

 

[Grau]

But a man can be equally loyal to two friends.

That''s true but my first thought is that friends are not countries that have entirely different needs, interests, challenges and goals.

When those two hypothetical friends you mention fight or have conflicting interests, then you will be required to choose sides.

A person can be a patriot to only one country at a time.

America's one sided and unholy "alliance" with Israel is severely detrimental to both countries in that unconditional support of each and every Israeli atrocity, crime against humanity and act of aggression is responsible for Israel's current pariah status and genocidal Netanyahu regime.

Without America's countless $ Trillions and endless supply of our most sophisticated weaponry, Israel's aggressive, genocidal and expansionist Zionist governments would have some incentive to make peace.

Currently, it neither wants or needs peace. (1)

As it is now, influential and parasitic Israeli lobbies ensure that Israel is rewarded for its genocide, expansionism and even betrayal. (2)

Along with Israel's nuclear blackmail,(3) unregistered Israeli lobbies continue to cost loyal Americans dearly in blood, countless $ Trillions and a soiled reputation.

Finally, this same forced and artificial "alliance" is so grossly one sided that Israelis even regard their supporters as " inherently dupable" or suckers. (4), (5)

so you are saying a few different things (and punctuating it with a quote which, as has been discussed, has no real source)

you were addressing "Israel firsters" IIRC, and I would suggest that the other word for that is "Israelis." You assume people with dual citizenship either are lying to themselves or the world (the US allows dual citizenship from most any country). So who are these "Israel firsters" you discuss? Every American Jew? Every dual citizenship holder (for which country?) An American citizen will only have to choose between the US and any other country if there is a direct conflict between them. Is there such a conflict that is making people choose Israel over America in the US? No. The US government has chosen to support Israel and Israel has chosen to support the US economy (you should really investigate how loan guarantees work and who benefits).

So I'm not sure which individuals you are calling "Israel firsters" or why you think that, on the daily, there is any particular hierarchy which drives behavior.

First, I want to thank you for your refreshing civility.
I think that it is entirely possible to hold different opinions and discuss them as if face to face.

You are right in that I should be more specific as to what comprises an "Israel Firster"

Basically, I mean the Jonathan Pollard types, Israeli lobbies and their supporters and the same sort of people who would be condemned in Israel if they were disloyal individuals doing the same thing:
- residing in a country only for what they can extract, manipulate and exploit for the benefit of another country.

Next, I can imagine some rare instances in which a dual citizenship could be legitimate but there would always be the question of first loyalty.

Finally, one doesn't have to be Jewish to betray America nor do I believe that Jews are more likely to being disloyal than anyone else.

America's crop of raving Christian Zionists, Christian Evangelicalists and anti Muslim bigots are just as likely to foment additional wars that benefit only Israel's right wing Zionist extremists whose "Greater Israel" expansionism endangers the entire world.

I would never support measures that punish or restrict the right of individuals to express their personal support for Netanyahu's Genocidal agenda or continued $ Trillions in aid etc.

I hope that I have clarified my views more thoroughly.

Thanks,

Thanks - I'm on my phone now so I can't reslly sift through your post. I did see one quick thing - I wouldn't call Pollard an Israel firster. I'd call him a criminal and I wouldn't taint a love for Israel by attaching it to a spy.

Re:

With America's infestation of traitorous Israel Firsters it's easy to see how easily America's most insidious enemy is able to spy on and steal America's top secrets and sell them to the highest bidder.

Since the majority of loyal Americans oppose US funding of Zionist genocide, it would be easier and more rational to deport America's disloyal Zionist shills:

- residing in a country only for what they can extract, manipulate and exploit for the benefit of another country. Next, I can imagine some rare instances in which a dual citizenship could be legitimate but there would always be the question of first loyalty.

that's a fine definition, but I don't think that I know of anyone who does that. My daughter and son-in-law have dual citizenship and both were in the IDF but now they live in NYC and are dedicated to being here. I'm not sure where or how their loyalty to either would be in question. I work with someone who teaches Spanish and is a dual citizen of the US and Mexico. I haven't seen any signs of disloyalty.

America's crop of raving Christian Zionists, Christian Evangelicalists and anti Muslim bigots are just as likely to foment additional wars that benefit only Israel's right wing Zionist extremists whose "Greater Israel" expansionism endangers the entire world.

extremists on all sides seem to get more press but that doesn't mean that they need to drive the discourse.

I would never support measures that punish or restrict the right of individuals to express their personal support for Netanyahu's Genocidal agenda

Even pro-Israel Wikipeadia acknowledges it. The biggest lie of all the many lies is that all the poor European Jews wanted was a little place to call their own, so they took a barren desert and make it bloom. Total complete horseshit.

Olive trees take decades to bear their best fruit. So when you cut down a Palestinian family's olive trees your are cutting down their main means of support which takes generations to nurture.

Okay maybe there is nothing we can do about it but we can dispense with the bullshit lies. It's a land grab. Period. nB4 I knock on your door and say you gotta leave because God gave your house to me.

1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"In the 1948 Palestine war, more than 700,000 Palestinian Arabs – about half of Mandatory Palestine's predominantly Arab population – fled from their homes or were expelled. Expulsions and attacks against Palestinians were carried out by the Zionist paramilitaries Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi, which merged to become the Israel Defense Forces after the establishment of Israel part way through the war.[a] The expulsion and flight was a central component of the fracturing, dispossession, and displacement of Palestinian society, known as the Nakba.[4] Dozens of massacres targeting Arabs were conducted by Israeli military forces and between 400 and 600 Palestinian villages were destroyed. Village wells were poisoned in a biological warfare programme and properties were looted to prevent Palestinian refugees from returning.[5][6] Other sites were subject to Hebraization of Palestinian place names."
