Your Zionist propaganda isn't going to work here. Yes, approximately 11% of Palestine's population was Jewish just before 1948, Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews had lived in Palestine for centuries, they were culturally and linguistically integrated into the broader Arab society.
There’s no point in questioning his moral compass - No matter what Israel does, he’ll fully support them@Cork Evertonian Come one, mate - you spend all your time defending this stuff, put your money were your mouth is and explain this and the rest of this weeks murderous rampage
He is another who is in so deep he has to keep toeing the line for fear of looking a complete and utter something or other. Hence he cannot reply to any posts as they totally smash his agendaThere’s no point in questioning his moral compass - No matter what Israel does, he’ll fully support them
I have no wordsBreaking the Silence:
Ever since the ceasefire started on Sunday, this government, through the IDF, and its allies in the settlements, has been doing everything in its power to make sure Israel doesn’t reach the second phase of the deal. Suddenly, Trump says he’s “not confident” the ceasefire will hold.
Last week, Netanyahu said that Trump and Biden both gave “full backing to Israel’s right to return to fighting if Israel concludes that the negotiations on the second phase are going nowhere.” Yesterday, the IDF began a massive operation in Jenin. They know this jeopardizes the deal.
Minister Smotrich, who has been serving as the de-facto Governor of the West Bank since May, said that the operation in Jenin was started as part of a new “goal” for the war, added at his party’s request, “changing the perception of security” in the West Bank.
Smotrich has also vowed his party will leave the government if the second phase of the deal goes ahead as planned. He said Netanyahu agreed to his request, committing to changing the war's course, aiming for full Israeli control of Gaza, and assuring him no aid will get to Hamas.
And so, as we speak, the IDF is again “Gazafying” Jenin, complete with airstrikes and destruction of infrastructure, after blockading checkpoints all throughout the West Bank. Their stated reason? "To continue preserving the IDF's freedom of action throughout Judea and Samaria.”
The IDF also said the operation was meant “to destroy and neutralize terrorist infrastructure and 'ticking time bombs.'" But “terrorist infrastructure” for a guerilla organization embedded within a civilian populace - is just regular infrastructure. If Hamas militants drive on a civilian road, is that road now “terrorist infrastructure”?
These aren’t hypothetical situations. Yesterday, the IDF was seen destroying the roads around Jenin Government Hospital. Patients were reportedly given 8 hours to evacuate. On foot, of course, since the road was just peeled away by bulldozers. This is Gazafication.
When Smotrich says “Funduq, Nablus and Jenin need to look like Jabalya,” he means it. He’s spent the past 2 years normalizing brutal war tactics against people living under direct military occupation. Now, the same Gazafication has the added ‘bonus’ of endangering the ceasefire.
