Hamas' proposal for a deal is essentially the exact same proposal that was in the MOU with Iran. We declared that MOU null and void when we realized that Iran was not serious about living up to their end if the deal. It was meant just to buy time for them to rebuild and rearm. Well, Hamas/Iran just copied and pasted from that MOU and presented it as a road to peace in Gaza. It is a road to further aggression. Come on DJT! Wake up and smell the stench of Iran coming from this proposal.
so LEGAL occupation of gaza is genocide but declaring unilaterally that all israelis should be murdered isn’t a call for genocide? do yall have fucking weevils in your brains?????????
Israel disrupts a long-established moral image of the Jew. For many Western observers, this is aesthetically offensive.
by Nachum Kaplan
Israel’s alleged occupation of Judea and Samaria and Gaza grabs the headlines but is nothing compared to its biggest occupation, which is that of the Western mind.
The Jewish state has no interest in this occupation, but the Western mind will not let it go, no matter how many stage hypnosis tricks Israel pulls to break itself free. Israel has psychologically occupied the Western imagination.
A country smaller than many American states, containing a fraction of the population of the Middle East and fighting conflicts that are nowhere near the world’s largest or bloodiest, commands an astonishing share of Western moral attention. It is discussed with an intensity normally reserved for superpowers, civilisational threats, and celebrities behaving badly in restaurants.
Governments issue statements. Universities convene panels and protests. Artists sign letters. Trade unions pass motions. Actors who cannot locate their own dignity suddenly locate “Palestine.”
Israeli military operations are global emotional events, and its elections are a referendum on humanity. Every Israeli minister’s idiotic remark is treated as a dispatch from the national soul.
Wars elsewhere may kill vastly more people, erase cities, uproot millions, and continue for years with scarcely a march, mural, or celebrity petition. Yet Israel mobilises the conscience industry in realtime.
The main reason they do this to Israel is because they are rabid running-dog antisemites. Everything else is a footnote, even though they lie and claim their concerns are humanitarian.
Humanitarian does not come close to explaining this phenomenon. If suffering were the animating concern, attention would follow suffering. If it were occupation, the world would maintain equal fervour for every disputed territory and conquered population. If it were violations of international law, dictatorships, militias and regional powers would receive scrutiny proportionate to their conduct.

by Nils A. Haug
Why is Israel never allowed to convincingly win wars waged against it? Why is it that Israel should bleed in self-defense while aggressors can walk away claiming victory? Why is it that Israel is frequently used by Western nations as a mere tool for their geopolitical ambitions? And why is it that Israel is blamed when plans set in motion by allies go awry?
The answer, of course, is that Israel is a convenient scapegoat -- one that is in no position to complain or to sever ties with those claimed allies who constantly abandon it in pursuit of their own ambitions. Israel is obviously seen by major Western powers as a rather insignificant nation, one that can be bullied and manipulated into compliance.
Israel is indeed small, in land area, population and economic power. It does not have natural resources, except for some gas. In the scheme of things, it is not viewed as a major player in world events nor of having much political influence. For the sake of its future, it is seen as desperate to make allies and friends in an alien world – one that largely despises it for succeeding. Israel is thus a nation in a world hostile to its existence, and to Jews in general.
Israel is continually falsely accused -- often by countries committing enormous war crimes -- of being a "settler-colonialist" nation, of practicing apartheid, and of genocide against Palestinians. It is excoriated in the United Nations, in European parliaments, by the international media, and by so-called human rights groups. None of the allegations against it are true. They cannot even be substantiated with facts or evidence. Not that this matters much to those determined to express their Jew-hate, even if under the guise of "social justice" or other fatuous constructs.
I really don't get it. Iran is attacking on many fronts. How's that? Their military capabalities have been "wiped out". What have we realiy accomplished??
DJT knew all along that the MOU would not last long. He wanted the world to see that after all he granted the Iranians they would still be untrustworthy. Hopefully, it's gloves off! Way to go DJT/USA!! Four more years!
The market is dropping over 500 points today. Was wondering why, till I read the 14 point MOU. Even with DJT, America always loses at the table what we gained in the field.
Hey Mamdani where is your socialist soul? How can the poor, homeless, etc. etc. get into a Knicks finals game? Set aside 7000 seats for us! Things should be equal! We are entitled!
Hey Mamdani! I can't afford tickets to the Knicks finals. How about making it equitible for all? Set aside 7000 seats for the poor, homeless, etc. etc.
