Is it any wonder we saw Hamas attack like they did on Oct 7th? The Israelis permit widescale domestic terrorism against Palestinians for decades and then get all bent out of shape when some of them say "F**k this, lets teach them a lesson"?
If you and your family were forced out of your home by a bunch of unemployable entitled hippies with baseball bats all while the police and army stood by and watched, don't tell me you'd accept that and sympathize with those hippies, just don't, no, don't do it.
The Zionist glove puppets here parrot the Israelis and "condemn" Hamas and Oct 7th, yet not a single one of them condemns these violent home invasions year after year after year after year. That's both racist and cowardly.
If you feel compelled to condemn terrorism then do not do so selectively.
Meet Dihya, the fierce Jewish queen who stood against Arab imperialism in North Africa.
Her story is one of courage and resistance.
Dihya, also known as al-Kahina from the Jewish priestly tribe, led her people in a valiant fight against the invading Arab forces in the 7th century. Her resistance is a powerful example of standing up against imperialism and protecting cultural identity.
While Dihya's bravery is celebrated, the true extent of Arab imperialism and its legacy of oppression remain largely unacknowledged. How can the world ignore the stories of those who fought against such tyranny and the ongoing impact of Arab domination?
Isn't it time we confront these historical and modern injustices,
and give voice to the many victims of Arab imperialism?

Yes, Hama's stupidity is indeed a wonder. WTF did they think was going to happen after they murdered 1300 Israelis? Hamas obviously doesn't give a Muzzie's ass about their own population. Netanyahu will be gone when the dust has settled, but Hamas will still be there.
Democracy and humanity is obviously lost on those who follow the "religion of peace".

I have no idea what "they" thought, no idea. I do know that they are not content to sit idly by and allow the foreign occupiers to do as they please, when they please to whom they please with impunity and a big US brother standing by that helps them.

That's hysterical, you really think the Zionists are supermen? Most that I've seen are primitive knuckle draggers, uncultured, slobs. They leech off the emasculated United States, seeking welfare and handouts from the US taxpayers, they can't defend themselves against what's coming.

There is no occupation by Israel.
There is a treaty in place which places control of Area C with Israel.
Th land called Israel was once part of the British Empire, and it was given to the Jews after the WW2 and the holocaust, but the land never belong to Great Britain in the first place. What is now Somalia was offered first but declined.

These "settlers" serve at least two functions for the right wing Netanyahu government.
1. Israel's criminal "Settlements" are intended to prevent any chance of a fair, equitable and durable peace. (1)
They serve as irrefutable proof that Israel's ruling right wing Zionists do not want peace because they know that they can continue to violate International Law, commit genocide, steal even more Palestinian land not only with impunity bur reward as AIPAC, the ZOA etc seem to extort $ Trillions from gullible Americans.
Israel is not only defended by the US while it commits genocide but given the ordinance to continue their "war" on starving, homeless, sick and traumatized refugees.
.
It is especially ironic that the International Holocaust Industry is still extorting countless $ Billions in frequently fraudulent Reparations money in order to fund the world's glut of grisly Holocaust theme parks.
2. For all the Zionist propaganda about Hamas' "Human Shields" it is now know that nothing or no one serves as a "shield" in the eyes of the IDFers:
IDF says it ‘completely rejects’ charge that its soldiers deliberately fired on any of the thousands of civilians killed in Israeli offensive
www.theguardian.com
I don't believe it's accurate to generalize about any group of people and individuals who have chosen to live in an area of contention are no different.
I only wonder what mindset leads one to believe that one is entitled to the land to which one has no legal claim.
When Israel was created by foreign governments, the more numerous Palestinians got less than half of what was promised to them under the McMahon Agreement.
The Jewish "Settlers" were already given over half of former Palestine, what's wrong with living in Israel, proper?
I cannot help but think that knowingly taking someone else land and knowingly violating International Law is hostile, antagonistic and immoral.
I can think of few other ways to confirm hostility, selfishness, and contempt for "God's gift" than to poison the wells, crops, livestock and ancient olive groves with raw sewage from "Settlement sprawl".
As expected, Israel's right wing element fully supports crimes that are known to make peace impossible and there's no shortage of funding for Israel's provocative and toxic "Human Shields" polluting the "Promised Land" with militant Zionists and raw sewage.

This practice has devastating effects on the Palestinian lands, both reducing and preventing any agricultural production, livestock farming and infecting previously safe drinking water.
The accumulative effect of these issues has resulted in an economic downturn, increases in disease and health problems, an increase in poverty and often the slow migration of Palestinians to other areas where they have more potential for earning and farming which only further compounds the issue of internal displacement.”CONTINUED
Rejectionism is embedded in Israel's most primal beliefs. There, at the deepest level, lies the concept that this land is destined for the Jews alone.

Israel does not want peace. There is nothing I have ever written that I would be happier to be proved wrong about. But the evidence is piling up. In fact, it can be said that Israel has never wanted peace – a just peace, that is, one based on a just compromise for both sides.
The single most overwhelming item of evidence of Israel’s rejection of peace is, of course, the settlements project. From the dawn of its existence, there has never been a more reliable or more precise litmus test for Israel’s true intentions than this particular enterprise. In plain words: The builders of settlements want to consolidate the occupation, and those who want to consolidate the occupation do not want peace. That’s the whole story in a nutshell. "CONTINUED

The State of Israel has the only legal sovereign claim to that land. If you dispute this, name the other legal claimants and outline the time, manner, and documentation for their claims.
Except that is not what they are doing. Even if you think their beliefs are incorrect, the above is not what they believe.

I'm sure that there must be some decent and ethical Settlers but I can't understand how you can support blatantly criminal and provocative Settlement Sprawl spewing raw sewage onto other people's land.
Just about all the Jews I know see these Settlements as a deliberate way by Israel's right wing government to evade a fair, durable. and equitable peace. Even those who support Settlements admit that they are a provocation and hinderance.

Israel is not in violation of UNSC #242. In point of fact, UNSC #242 is resolved in its entirety. Here is the relevant operative text in italics and my comments.
1. Affirms that the fulfilment of Charter principles requires the establishment of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East which should include the application of both the following principles:
(i) Withdrawal of Israel armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict;
Israel has withdrawn its armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict. The resolution does not require Israel to withdraw from all the territories, despite what most people think about it, and even if it did so require, Israel has withdrawn from all the territories except Area C which is explicitly under Israeli control by treaty. Check. (ii) Termination of all claims or states of belligerency and respect for and acknowledgement of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every State in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force;
All claims and states of belligerency have been terminated (Treaty of Peace between the State of Israel and the Arab Republic of Egypt, 1979 and Treaty of Peace between the State of Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, 1994). Both Jordan and Egypt have acknowledged Israel's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence in that treaty, and have, thus far, recognized Israel's right to live in peace with secure and recognized international boundaries. Note that both Jordan and Egypt have recognized borders with Israel. Check. 2. Affirms further the necessity
(a) For guaranteeing freedom of navigation through international waterways in the area;
Check. (b) For achieving a just settlement of the refugee problem;
Other than Lebanon's obstinate and inhumane failure to provide citizenship and apply equal law to portions of their population who have "Palestinian" ancestry, AND if we use the normative terminology and understanding of "refugee", the refugees have all been resettled. Check. (c) For guaranteeing the territorial inviolability and political independence of every State in the area, through measures including the establishment of demilitarized zones; Check. The only State whose territorial inviolability is in question is Israel's.
No, you deliberately misunderstand. Israel is demanding that it be treated EQUALLY under the law. She has not been. She has been subject to a deliberate misuse of the law which does not give her equal rights.
I'm sure that there must be some decent and ethical Settlers but I can't understand how you can support blatantly criminal and provocative Settlement Sprawl spewing raw sewage onto other people's land.
Where did I say I support criminal activity? Oh wait, I didn't. I have been very clear that criminal and violent activity is abhorrent and must be addressed. I have also pointed out, correctly, that criminal activity and violence and, yes, using things like waste as a weapon is carried out by BOTH sides.

I'll be the first to admit that I may misunderstand your sentiments but will promise you than it is not intentional.
One of the reasons I'm here is to take advantage of the ability to learn from others far away and hear conflicting points of view.
I didn't see anything in your comment that refutes the fact that the criminal and provocative Israeli "Settlements" are proof that Israel's current government prefers conflict over a peaceful resolution of cyclical violence in which the Israelis end up with more land and fewer dead.
Please note that I did not write "Netanyahu regime", "Israel" or "the Jews" etc because I am far from being alone in being repulsed by the rhetoric and the murderous fanaticism it reveals.
Specifically, I mean Netanyahu, Gallant, Dickter, Ben Gvir and similar genocidal bigots.

EXCERPT "The Security Council reaffirmed this afternoon that Israel’s establishment of settlements in Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, had no legal validity, constituting a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the vision of two States living side-by-side in peace and security, within internationally recognized borders.
Adopting resolution 2334 (2016) by 14 votes, with the United States abstaining, the Council reiterated its demand that Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem. It underlined that it would not recognize any changes to the 4 June 1967 lines, including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the two sides through negotiations." CONTINUED
Re: She has been subject to a deliberate misuse of the law which does not give her equal rights.
I don't know how you can say that when nuclear armed Israel has violated more UN Resolutions than any other country in the world yet rarely, if ever, faces consequences. (1)
Just look at the difference between UN inspections of Iranian nuclear development and inability to set foot anywhere near Dimona or any other Israel nuclear sites.
Iran is a signatory of the NPT while Israel refuses to sign but is allowed the only nuclear arsenal in the region.
Which nation is being treated unfairly?
Briefly put, this "poor, mistreated, little Israel" schtick is as dishonest and over worn as constantly whining "anti Semite", "Neo Nazi", "Jew hater".
It may be your opinion but its not supported by the facts:
"Israel has been ‘above’ international law ever since its inception"
Palestinians have repeatedly paid with their lives, bodies, and land for Israeli impunity which is based on the unconditional backing provided by the US and its European allies
peoplesdispatch.org
EXCERPT "After failing several times, the members of the UN Security Council were able to reach a compromise and adopt a resolution on November 15, almost 40 days after the Israeli war began on October 7, demanding “urgent and extended” humanitarian “pauses” in Gaza.
However, as was expected, Israel refused to implement it. Instead it negotiated a deal with Palestinian resistance movement Hamas under Qatar’s mediation and agreed to halt its offensives in Gaza for four days in exchange of hostages.
Israel’s refusal to implement the UN resolution is in line with its record in the last seven decades of completely disregarding the international laws and undermining the mandate of multilateral global institutions." CONTINUED

If you support Israel's illegal Settlements, you're supporting activities that are both criminal, provocative, cruel and ensure that peace remains impossible.
If you support Netanyahu's Gaza genocide, you're supporting criminal activity and so it goes.
Your claim that BOTH sides have weaponized raw sewage shows the degree to which you are unwilling to face some inconvenient facts.
IDF has destroyed all of Gaza's infrastructure which makes proper waste treatment and the ability to produce drinking water impossible.
Please explain how the people of Gaza can weaponize raw sewage yet have no toilets or drinking water.
Next, an additional reason that both Jews and non Jews regard the indiscriminate slaughter of Gaza's existing population as a genocide is the calculated herding of Gaza's to and from "Safe Zones" that are later bombed anyway.
At least one of the eight 2,000-pound bombs used in the massacre was made in the US.
truthout.org
EXCERPT "According to TheWall Street Journal, the Israeli military dropped eight 2,000-pound bombs during its attack on Al-Mawasi on Saturday, striking civilian areas including a market, a soup kitchen and a water source. These bombs have the power to level entire neighborhoods or strike deeply into concrete bunkers, and humanitarian groups have said that using even one of these 2,000-pound (or smaller) bombs in civilian areas is a war crime." CONTINUED
I feel certain that you oppose war crimes like that but decisions to drop 2,000 pound bombs on homeless, hungry, sick and traumatized refugees are made by the current Netanyahu government.
Finally, I'll admit, again, that I may misunderstand your sentiments and am encouraged by your statements, earlier, mentioning "equality" and "equal treatment".
We may even agree on more things than either of us realizes.
For example, I would not object to Settlements if Palestinians were afforded the same rights, aid and treatment.
As it is now, Palestinians can't even get building permits 99% of the time and are 2nd class citizens under Israel's "Nationality Law".
I would like nothing better than to see Israel's Jews and regional Arabs get along as well as they have in the past.
In 1980 I bought a vacant old home in an all Black neighborhood where I taught school and, later, worked in my nearby blacksmith shop and enjoyed a warm, respectful and friendly relationship with my neighbors for 20 years.
So, I know that it's possible for people of different backgrounds and ethnic groups to peacefully and happily coexist because it's mutually beneficial to both groups to do so.
I wish the same for Israel - Palestine but am currently not optimistic given the escalating hostilities.
- ISRAELI OCCUPATION IS ILLEGAL: Laws Violated: U.N. Charter, Article 2(4) & 51 (1945); Declaration on Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly Relations…, Principle 1 (1970). Israeli Actions: It is illegal under international law to acquire land by force: Israel annexed land occupied by force during 1948 and 1967 wars (lands other than those given by the UN 1947-48 partition plan) ILRC article. Military action and occupations are legal only if they are for self-defense, or to directly benefit the native population. But studies show Israel is not just defending itself as it develops de-facto annexation with its settlements and separation barrier on occupied land, as it takes over most of the occupied territories (over 70%) and its natural resources for its own use and economic benefit, at the expense of the native population. ILRC article on why the Occupation is illegal.
- ILLEGAL ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS ON OCCUPIED LAND: Laws Violated: Geneva Conventions IV, Article 49(6) (1949). It is illegal to colonize occupied land or transfer non-indigenous population to that land. Israeli Actions: Immediately following the 1967 war, Israel began building Israeli civilian settlements on Palestinian lands, eventually building over 200 settlements throughout the occupied territories, and settling over 450,000 Israeli civilians in them, displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians from their own legally owned lands. In addition, Israeli citizens live in hundreds of Israeli settlements on occupied land not originally given to them in the UN Partition Plan, displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.
