I am a 73 year old (gentile) woman living in Florida. I have no dog in the race, but I do have a memory--a memory of the Likud statement of purpose (2017, I think), of unlimited Israeli imprisonment, torture of Palestinians, of unjustified execution of Palestinian children throwing stones, etc. Of those who have memories, the position is obvious.

[@ill_A.M.G1257]

Palestinian people have been going through this for 75years. The disgusting act of terror killed 1200, the idf killed 20000 injured 50000 are they both not acts of terror. The idf killed 3 of their own holding white flag speaking hebrew, imagine what the Palestinians have gone through

[@freedom__and_peace]

Zionism isn't even a religious belief. In reality, the leaders of the modern Zionist movement that was created in Europe weren't motivated by religion. Many of them were actually secular or agnostic Jews. They saw the Jewish people more as a nation than a religious group. For them, Zionism meant establishing a separate political state for the Jewish nation. Originally Uganda was proposed as a homeland for the Zionist before Palestine. *To put things into perspective, in the year 1891 Jewish people owned less than 1% of land in Palestine,* *where as Palestinians owned 99%. In 1947 that number was still at a low, with the Jews owning below 5% of Palestinian land.

[@bmxney3143]

Anti Semitism is a red herring there are many Semitic tongues Arabic Aramaic, Hebraic, Phoenician, Ethiopian Aramaic, Semite is a family of languages from the Levant. Judaism is a belief system not a peoples of a nation state.

[@kjw6383]

Everytime I hear the word 'antisemite' I cringe saying there are other Semites too but our media is too simple minded to define their own language

[@AlexSavillePhoto]

“Antisemitism” was a word coined specifically to mean Jew-hate. It doesn’t mean hatred of other Semitic races. But it’s been in use long enough that I’m sure you know that, or at least how to use Google.

[@JN_au]

We need to be hearing from the Palestinian diaspora about what they would like to see for their Homeland. Israel must continue to exist but not in their current self-destructive form. They cannot continue to deny Palestinians citizenship under a democratic single state solution or a two state solution. We cannot allow Israel to continue their apartheid regime. Israel is a spoilt little childish state that requires international guidance. Since its formation is the result of the UK and US support, we are ultimately responsible for reining in this project.

[@dhyanidsouza2430]

Well said, I couldn’t agree more! Israel has certainly exposed itself!

[@MartinPike1314]

On October 7th I was filled with feelings of revulsion for the atrocities and compassion/support for Israel. By as early as October 9th or 10th, that was replaced by outrage at the actions of the IDF and the comments of the spokespersons of Israel. Now I am just angry that the most important people in terms of decision making seem not to recognise that ONLY path to peace is for justice and equality to apply to every single human being between the river and the sea. Two state solution/One state solution, whatever - but there MUST be safety and security for everyone or there won't be safety and security for anyone.

[@kirstyduncan408]

I never had that experience. Israel were behind ISIS.

[@MartinPike1314]

@@quanshaw4295 There are certainly some questions to be answered. Many initial reports now seem to not be true. Also the hanibal directive appears to have been deployed with IDF shooting israelis rather than allow them to be taken as hostage. Hopefully the truth will come to light eventually.

[@AlexSavillePhoto]

“From the River to the sea” is a cry for the extermination of the Jewish state. So how should Israel have responded?

[@JasperJohnD]

Right from the start, you've misframed the situation. You compared the deaths/injuries of Oct 7th to the weeks following which of course ignores the victims leading up to Oct 7th over 7 decades.

[@mmmfahmy]

People still condemning them when their actions on the 7th have been mostly debunked and in that case what they did is the conclusion of 80 years of occupation, oppression and abuse. I pity anyone who supports the other side because they’d obviously allow someone to take over their home, and not stand up for their loved ones.

[@mh8826]

This is also where I lose James.. this ardent position that you can’t even try to understand what or why it happened.. or his implications that it’s a Bibi issue (albeit Bibi is so far the worst of the lot) and it’s this current govt that’s the problem where that simply isn’t the case over 70 years.. he really needs to have a conversation with people like Norman Finklestein

I'm of the opinion that the Israeli government believed the ends, Israel expanding as a "jewish" homeland, justified the means, the death of innocence, be they Palestinian or Israeli.

In March 1997, John F. Kennedy Jr. published an article by Guela Amir, mother of Yigal Amir, the alleged assassin of Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin. Guela Amir recalled the Hamas terrorist attacks in the wake of the 1993 Oslo Accords signed by Rabin and provided some evidence that her son was part of an Israeli intelligence plot to remove Rabin and prevent the recognition of a Palestinian state. John F. Kennedy Jr. died two years later in a mysterious plane crash. “In September 1993, the Rabin government signed the Oslo accords with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The accords, and the series of terror bombings [by Hamas] that followed their implementation, brought thousands of previously apolitical Israelis into the streets and onto the barricades in embittered protest. These neophyte activists poured into the pre-existing right-wing groups and placed themselves at the disposal of experienced organizers such as [Shin Bet informant] Avishai Raviv. One of these new activists was my son Yigal.” Source: A Mother’s Defense (George Magazine, 1997)

Sigh, Obrien thinks hes so knowledgeable & magnanimous, but its only surface level. He takes the first step, & refuses to look around at what the implications are. Its this "both sides" as a form of ideology that is maddening. And i dont mean recognizing humanity of everybody & condemning war crimes. Refusal to acknowledge driving forces & larger historical issues. Not wanting to recognize that Israel has never really been interested in a 2 state solution etc. Not knowing about Israel's "nation state law" or recognizing Hamas & Likud are flip sides of the same coin. He can full face condemn Hamas, but refuses to do the same for Israel when they engage in the same behavior. Israel's government still has a place in negotiating & settlement, but Hamas does not. Either both dont or both do. Israel has done ALL the same war crimes AND MORE, but yet they can be dealt with as honest brokers.

Hamas and the PA have both created fear societies, where dissent can be met with death. They are not future peace partners.

[@zakshakey4686]

The problem with the prison system and re-offending is linked to the infrastructure and the system. Within the confines of prison, the regime is tightly run with no opportunities to re-offend - the rare cases being transferred to higher Category prison. From this, ex-offenders suddenly are released into an environment where they have to immediately manage their behaviour. There is poor provision for both supervision of this and rehabilitation as well as re-integration into society. Rather than prevention and rehab, the strategy seems to be to place offenders into scenarios whereby they are prone to re-offending and when they do, they are immediately incarcerated. This is the chosen option, since the agencies involved with ex-offenders would rather have them taken off their books and pass the problem onto another party - hence reducing the number of ex-offenders that need to be managed.

Most of the early Zionists were Russian refugees fleeing from persecution to Palestine. Colonialism in the “exploit the locals” sense had nothing to do with it.

False....In 2006 80% of the current population was illegible to vote as they weren't born or they were small kids and in 2006 they won with around 46% of the votes...90% of the current population did not vote for hamas

James O Brian pretty one sided.

Explain how so in an example or two.... otherwise more disinformation nonsense.

Sided with the truth , yes.

@@H_Dar792 Hamas was voted in by the Palestine people. They would be re-elected today. Are not the People responsible for their government. On Oct 6 they were not being continuously bombed. Actions on their part have consequences.

​@@jksponga Those aren't examples. Most people know, including IIRC James who previously stated, the militant group won the majority of seats in the legislature in 2006 (although not by a majority of votes). It's misleading to conflate that electoral outcome with the views of people in the region today. Also James explained that indiscriminate bombing has, other than for a short break, has been continuous soon after Oct. 7. So, again give some real "one sided" examples rather than reiterating facts everyone already knows?

Fact Oct 7
