Many topics in headlines lately.

Fake Impeachment

Coronavirus

Fake Impeachment Trial

Democrap Debates

Kobe Bryant

Iowa Caucus

Mexico-Canada-America Treaty



So it is fair to overlook something historic.


Some decades ago I read another book by Tom Clancy, who effectively predicted many things several years in the future from the dates is books were published.
One thing he wrote about, I think in The Sum Of All Fears, was Middle East peace.
It seemed, and I continued to hope, that progress was being made under Bush41, Bush43, and some under Trump.

And now Trump has worked out a deal with Israel, which all the Arab Nations have agreed with - for the first time in history, apparently. The first time they have agreed with a position opposite the Palistines.

Many times I have been hopeful for Middle East Peace. And now we may have a blueprint for it.
I have heard many experts (I am not one) on this subject discuss how incredibly important this is.

Too bad it hasn't been discussed here.

I understand this is the first Plan to specify where the Palestinian Lands are to be, instead of vague notions.

And the first to clearly spell out the criteria for Palestine to become a recognized Nation.

I keep hearing positive news, and progress. Recently I heard about an Israel Airport opening to flights from a number of neighboring nations. I had not really been aware that Airports in Israel had not had regular passenger service to the region.

This might be one of the stories:

Tom Clancy writes fiction like whatif alternative dimension nonsense or folklore comicbook stories, NetForce about a BillGates and NetPolice story it is not real, there is also a Jack Ryan a type of USA James Bond...it is FICTION and NOT REAL

Bush 41 was an asshole with weirdo call boy scandals at the Whitehouse

the mini Bush 43 was possibly one of the worst Presidents in USA history, lost all that goodwill after 911 and the World wanting to support the USA and little Bush fuckedup the USA and the world

Do you mean War-mongering Lord Darth Biden stirring attacks against Israel?

Lord Darth Biden certainly does not want Middle East Peace - that is why Libtards voted for him, thousands of votes per Libtard.

Untold numbers of Terrorists buried in their Terrorist Tunnels and underground cities.

The world thanks Israel for this advancement.



Earlier this week, Israel announced it would enter and clean up the area where Terrorist rockets and missiles have been launched from lately.
Then they staged some tanks and other equipment along the border between areas.
Then the Terrorists ran to hide underground in their Terrorist Tunnels, leaving civilians to bear the brunt of attacks, shielding the Terrorists below ground.
Then, instead of crossing the ground equipment over the border, Israel drops hundreds of surgically precise bombs from more than a hundred aircraft, collapsing the Terrorist Tunnels and cities upon the Terrorists.


Sweet.

Terrorists have launched over 4,000 missiles into Israel, mostly made by Iran.
Lord Darth Biden demands that Israel stop defending itself, insists Israel surrender to the Terrorists, and calls for more funding to give to Iran to create even more missiles to bomb Israel.

Lord Darth Obiden has announced, now that Israel has stopped defending itself, and Hamas continues to rain down hundreds of rockets upon Isreal, this is defined as a "Cease Fire" - which he demanded after Rashida Talib contronted him for 8 minute on the tarmac in MI.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


JSF, this is is one of those things we'll never agree on, unless you learn some history and come to see things my way.



Yanno, there WERE people living in Palestine b4 the Brits so generously gave Palestine to the Jews. There WAS an agreement that only 400,000Jews were to settle in that area, but the Jews managed to jam in three times that number, displacing everyone who had already been living there. And they have been displacing Palestinians ever since, occupying more and more of their homes and farms, squeezing them into smaller and smaller spaces, controlling the amount of water, electricity, and food entering Gaza and denying the inhabitants any ports or free travel by setting up checkpoints and walls

When I say that Israel has created the biggest open-air prison in history, bigger than the Warsaw ghetto, you should think about what that means.

The only solution is a two-state solution, and Israel should give back the land it has occupied ILLEGALLY (by international law) ... ETA since 1967.

Let me put it in a way that you might understand. If, say, the EU were to give Provence-Cote d'Azur (of south France) to Algerians, and Algerians poured in en- masse and displaced all if the original inhabitants, and furthermore these immigrants were to squeeze the origin inhabitants into the tiniest possible city, and tightly control its economic livelihood, trade, travel, utilities, and services; maintain them in substandard conditions; harass them constantly by sending in troops; deny the original inhabitants citizenship and meaningful representation, and continue to nibble at what little land remained to the former inhabitants, wouldn't they be rightly pissed off?

Wouldn't you?

I understand you have a different PoV on a number of different issues, sometimes I don't understand them.
So, you are saying the 2-State solution where Israel is irradicated is your preference? Palestinian Law requires that all Israelis are killed, removed from the face of the earth, and you agree with this?
In your analogy, that would be the same as saying the original-resident frogs would demand that all Algerians be exterminated. You find that an acceptable template of your "Peace"?


And, preferably, it would help if you reference dates, like years, of which historical events you feel pertinent.

The "two state" solution means the creation of a Palestinian state AND the maintenance of the state of Israel, just reduced to its former borders (pre1967).

The Palestinians want the two-state solution.

I assumed you had a rudimentary grasp of the situation.

Your question is inherently flawed. You can't have a two- state solution when one state is destroyed. Please re-read my post, emphasis added.

Once you comprehend the definition of a two- state solution, and stop insisting that the two- state solution results in only one state, we can begin to talk about what Palestinians want.

Once you comprehend the definition of a two- state solution, and stop insisting that the two- state solution results in only one state, we can begin to talk about what Palestinians want.

It almost seems you are starting to catch on.
Just like the current Fake Cease Fire, Hamas and Palestinians only agree to the Cease Fire as defined as Israel must stop defending itself, while Hamas insists upon continuing to rain missiles and bombs down upon Israel.


The only 2-state solutions that Palestine agrees with is those which retain the Palestinian demand that Israel be annihilated. Israel always includes clauses which preclude Palestine from having missiles, military weapons to attack Israel. As soon as Palestine agrees to Israel opeingin up to being attacks, Palestine always immediately breaks the agreement by raining missiles upon Israel.

Palestine has never ever been a State, and has refused to become a State.

Ottoman Empire was the Islamic Superpower from 13th century into the 20th, until 1917, when the world got fed up enough with the barbarians within. Palestine Arabs just have sour grapes over the crumbled Ottoman Empire. All those centuries of Islamic Idiocy did not erase Jerusalem, did not erase King David declaring Jerusalem as Capital of Jewish Kingdom (1000BC), did not erase Jesus Christ (30 AD), did not erase Late-To-The-Party prophet Mohammed (632 AD).

The PLO Charter specifies the annihilation of Israel, in article 15, and all the other articles are demands for all children of Arabs be trained to kill Jews.
Neither PLO nor Palestine Authority has been willing to even consider allowing jews to loive

Yanno, there WERE people living in Palestine b4 the Brits so generously gave Palestine to the Jews. There WAS an agreement that only 400,000Jews were to settle in that area, but the Jews managed to jam in three times that number, displacing everyone who had already been living there. And they have been displacing Palestinians ever since, occupying more and more of their homes and farms, squeezing them into smaller and smaller spaces, controlling the amount of water, electricity, and food entering Gaza and denying the inhabitants any ports or free travel by setting up checkpoints and walls

When I say that Israel has created the biggest open-air prison in history, bigger than the Warsaw ghetto, you should think about what that means.

The only solution is a two-state solution, and Israel should give back the land it has occupied ILLEGALLY (by international law) ... ETA since 1967.

Let me put it in a way that you might understand. If, say, the EU were to give Provence-Cote d'Azur (of south France) to Algerians, and Algerians poured in en- masse and displaced all if the original inhabitants, and furthermore these immigrants were to squeeze the origin inhabitants into the tiniest possible city, and tightly control its economic livelihood, trade, travel, utilities, and services; maintain them in substandard conditions; harass them constantly by sending in troops; deny the original inhabitants citizenship and meaningful representation, and continue to nibble at what little land remained to the former inhabitants, wouldn't they be rightly pissed off?

Wouldn't you?


JSF: I understand you have a different PoV on a number of different issues, sometimes I don't understand them.
So, you are saying the 2-State solution where Israel is irradicated is your preference? Palestinian Law requires that all Israelis are killed, removed from the face of the earth, and you agree with this?
In your analogy, that would be the same as saying the original-resident frogs would demand that all Algerians be exterminated. You find that an acceptable template of your "Peace"?


And, preferably, it would help if you reference dates, like years, of which historical events you feel pertinent.

SIGNY: The "two state" solution means the creation of a Palestinian state AND the maintenance of the state of Israel, just reduced to its former borders (pre1967).

Son, your understanding of history is abysmal. It's not because "the world got fed up enough with the barbarians within" that caused the Ottoman Empire to fall.

It's no coincidence that the Ottoman Empire fell in the midst of World War 1.

What, you didn't notice the coincidence of dates??? Turkey (more accurately, th Ottoman Empire) entered WW1 on the side of Germany and Austria-Hungary, AND LOST. France, Britain,and Russia were allies, and France and Britain agreed, with Russian concurrence, to carve up the Ottoman Empire between them - including Palestine- if they won.

And "Palestinians" were NOT in control of the Ottoman Empire and in fact pretty much didn't like being ruled from Turkey. So it's not like there's "sour grapes" among Palestinians about the Ottoman Empire.

I think it's more like... their land was given away by Britain, which took control over that part of the Mideast (splitting it with France along Sykes-Picot line) https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/britain-and-france-conclud
e-sykes-picot-agreement
and then gave it to the Jews because Britaindidn't want Jews settling in their own country.

******

Israel fired missiles at Gaza - killing at least a couple dozen people including women and children- because Gaza fired mostly ineffective missiles at Israel.

Now, WHY did Gaza fire missiles at Israel?

Was it because the police ad Jewish West Back settlers attacked worshipper at the Al Aqsa Mosque in east Jerusalem, on Friday, a day of worship during the holy month of Ramadan?

Yanno, Palestinians have no weaponry or military compared to Israel. The attacks on Palestinians kill at least ten times as many Palestinians as Israelis are killed. Israel constantly builds new settlements, taking more and more land (ILLEGALLY), maintaining Palestinians in horrific conditions and they expect Palestinians to just quiety submit?

The PLO signed the Oslo Accords and agreed to the two-state solution, https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/september-13-1993-israel-and

Israel‘s Need for Defensible Borders

It is part of the common international approach that Israel should return to the 1967 borders. But before 1967, Jordan and Egypt were responsible for the West Bank and Gaza, respectively. Israel was small and its borders were not very defensible. Now, according to the two-state solution, suddenly an additional Arab state – a Palestinian state – has to be established, which is a different situation than what existed before 1967.

First of all, this future Arab state of Palestine is probably going to be very weak, very fragile, and very dependent. So we are told it is Israel’s task to make sure this future Palestinian state is viable, strong, and satisfied, because if the people there are not satisfied, then it will backfire. And because this state is divided between Gaza and the West Bank, to make it a viable state, Israel is expected to agree to a land connection between the two areas.

The PLO Charter
Below is the Palestinian National Covenant, the official charter of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The text is the English version published officially by the PLO, unabridged and unedited.

Note, however, that the PLO's translation sometimes deviates from the original Arabic so as to be more palatable to Western readers. For example, in Article 15, the Arabic is translated as "the elimination of Zionism," whereas the correct translation is "the liquidation of the Zionist presence." "The Zionist presence" is a common Arabic euphemism for the State of Israel, so this clause in fact calls for the destruction of Israel, not just the end of Zionism.

Where subtleties in the original Arabic are important, the Arabic word has been inserted in parentheses.
THE PALESTINIAN NATIONAL CHARTER:
Resolutions of the Palestine National Council, July 1-17, 1968
Text of the Charter:

Article 1: Palestine is the homeland of the Arab Palestinian people; it is an indivisible part of the Arab homeland, and the Palestinian people are an integral part of the Arab nation.

Article 2: Palestine, with the boundaries it had during the British Mandate, is an indivisible territorial unit.

Article 3: The Palestinian Arab people possess the legal right to their homeland and have the right to determine their destiny after achieving the liberation of their country in accordance with their wishes and entirely of their own accord and will.

Article 4: The Palestinian identity is a genuine, essential, and inherent characteristic; it is transmitted from parents to children. The Zionist occupation and the dispersal of the Palestinian Arab people, through the disasters which befell them, do not make them lose their Palestinian identity and their membership in the Palestinian community, nor do they negate them.

Article 5: The Palestinians are those Arab nationals who, until 1947, normally resided in Palestine regardless of whether they were evicted from it or have stayed there. Anyone born, after that date, of a Palestinian father - whether inside Palestine or outside it - is also a Palestinian.

Article 6: The Jews who had normally resided in Palestine until the beginning of the Zionist invasion will be considered Palestinians.

Article 7: That there is a Palestinian community and that it has material, spiritual, and historical connection with Palestine are indisputable facts. It is a national duty to bring up individual Palestinians in an Arab revolutionary manner. All means of information and education must be adopted in order to acquaint the Palestinian with his country in the most profound manner, both spiritual and material, that is possible. He must be prepared for the armed struggle and ready to sacrifice his wealth and his life in order to win back his homeland and bring about its liberation.

Article 8: The phase in their history, through which the Palestinian people are now living, is that of national (watani) struggle for the liberation of Palestine. Thus the conflicts among the Palestinian national forces are secondary, and should be ended for the sake of the basic conflict that exists between the forces of Zionism and of imperialism on the one hand, and the Palestinian Arab people on the other. On this basis the Palestinian masses, regardless of whether they are residing in the national homeland or in diaspora (mahajir) constitute - both their organizations and the individuals - one national front working for the retrieval of Palestine and its liberation through armed struggle.

Article 9: Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine. Thus it is the overall strategy, not merely a tactical phase. The Palestinian Arab people assert their absolute determination and firm resolution to continue their armed struggle and to work for an armed popular revolution for the liberation of their country and their return to it. They also assert their right to normal life in Palestine and to exercise their right to self-determination and sovereignty over it.

Article 10: Commando action constitutes the nucleus of the Palestinian popular liberation war. This requires its escalation, comprehensiveness, and the mobilization of all the Palestinian popular and educational efforts and their organization and involvement in the armed Palestinian revolution. It also requires the achieving of unity for the national (watani) struggle among the different groupings of the Palestinian people, and between the Palestinian people and the Arab masses, so as to secure the continuation of the revolution, its escalation, and victory.

Article 11: The Palestinians will have three mottoes: national (wataniyya) unity, national (qawmiyya) mobilization, and liberation.

Article 12: The Palestinian people believe in Arab unity. In order to contribute their share toward the attainment of that objective, however, they must, at the present stage of their struggle, safeguard their Palestinian identity and develop their consciousness of that identity, and oppose any plan that may dissolve or impair it.

Article 13: Arab unity and the liberation of Palestine are two complementary objectives, the attainment of either of which facilitates the attainment of the other. Thus, Arab unity leads to the liberation of Palestine, the liberation of Palestine leads to Arab unity; and work toward the realization of one objective proceeds side by side with work toward the realization of the other.

Article 14: The destiny of the Arab nation, and indeed Arab existence itself, depend upon the destiny of the Palestine cause. From this interdependence springs the Arab nation's pursuit of, and striving for, the liberation of Palestine. The people of Palestine play the role of the vanguard in the realization of this sacred (qawmi) goal.

Article 15: The liberation of Palestine, from an Arab viewpoint, is a national (qawmi) duty and it attempts to repel the Zionist and imperialist aggression against the Arab homeland, and aims at the elimination of Zionism in Palestine. Absolute responsibility for this falls upon the Arab nation - peoples and governments - with the Arab people of Palestine in the vanguard. Accordingly, the Arab nation must mobilize all its military, human, moral, and spiritual capabilities to participate actively with the Palestinian people in the liberation of Palestine. It must, particularly in the phase of the armed Palestinian revolution, offer and furnish the Palestinian people with all possible help, and material and human support, and make available to them the means and opportunities that will enable them to continue to carry out their leading role in the armed revolution, until they liberate their homeland.

Article 16: The liberation of Palestine, from a spiritual point of view, will provide the Holy Land with an atmosphere of safety and tranquility, which in turn will safeguard the country's religious sanctuaries and guarantee freedom of worship and of visit to all, without discrimination of race, color, language, or religion. Accordingly, the people of Palestine look to all spiritual forces in the world for support.

Article 17: The liberation of Palestine, from a human point of view, will restore to the Palestinian individual his dignity, pride, and freedom. Accordingly the Palestinian Arab people look forward to the support of all those who believe in the dignity of man and his freedom in the world.

Article 18: The liberation of Palestine, from an international point of view, is a defensive action necessitated by the demands of self-defense. Accordingly the Palestinian people, desirous as they are of the friendship of all people, look to freedom-loving, and peace-loving states for support in order to restore their legitimate rights in Palestine, to re-establish peace and security in the country, and to enable its people to exercise national sovereignty and freedom.

Article 19: The partition of Palestine in 1947 and the establishment of the state of Israel are entirely illegal, regardless of the passage of time, because they were contrary to the will of the Palestinian people and to their natural right in their homeland, and inconsistent with the principles embodied in the Charter of the United Nations, particularly the right to self-determination.

Article 20: The Balfour Declaration, the Mandate for Palestine, and everything that has been based upon them, are deemed null and void. Claims of historical or religious ties of Jews with Palestine are incompatible with the facts of history and the true conception of what constitutes statehood. Judaism, being a religion, is not an independent nationality. Nor do Jews constitute a single nation with an identity of its own; they are citizens of the states to which they belong.

Article 21: The Arab Palestinian people, expressing themselves by the armed Palestinian revolution, reject all solutions which are substitutes for the total liberation of Palestine and reject all proposals aiming at the liquidation of the Palestinian problem, or its internationalization.

Article 22: Zionism is a political movement organically associated with international imperialism and antagonistic to all action for liberation and to progressive movements in the world. It is racist and fanatic in its nature, aggressive, expansionist, and colonial in its aims, and fascist in its methods. Israel is the instrument of the Zionist movement, and geographical base for world imperialism placed strategically in the midst of the Arab homeland to combat the hopes of the Arab nation for liberation, unity, and progress. Israel is a constant source of threat vis-a-vis peace in the Middle East and the whole world. Since the liberation of Palestine will destroy the Zionist and imperialist presence and will contribute to the establishment of peace in the Middle East, the Palestinian people look for the support of all the progressive and peaceful forces and urge them all, irrespective of their affiliations and beliefs, to offer the Palestinian people all aid and support in their just struggle for the liberation of their homeland.

Article 23: The demand of security and peace, as well as the demand of right and justice, require all states to consider Zionism an illegitimate movement, to outlaw its existence, and to ban its operations, in order that friendly relations among peoples may be preserved, and the loyalty of citizens to their respective homelands safeguarded.

Article 24: The Palestinian people believe in the principles of justice, freedom, sovereignty, self-determination, human dignity, and in the right of all peoples to exercise them.

Article 25: For the realization of the goals of this Charter and its principles, the Palestine Liberation Organization will perform its role in the liberation of Palestine in accordance with the Constitution of this Organization.

Article 26: The Palestine Liberation Organization, representative of the Palestinian revolutionary forces, is responsible for the Palestinian Arab people's movement in its struggle - to retrieve its homeland, liberate and return to it and exercise the right to self-determination in it - in all military, political, and financial fields and also for whatever may be required by the Palestine case on the inter-Arab and international levels.

Article 27: The Palestine Liberation Organization shall cooperate with all Arab states, each according to its potentialities; and will adopt a neutral policy among them in the light of the requirements of the war of liberation; and on this basis it shall not interfere in the internal affairs of any Arab state.

Article 28: The Palestinian Arab people assert the genuineness and independence of their national (wataniyya) revolution and reject all forms of intervention, trusteeship, and subordination.

Article 29: The Palestinian people possess the fundamental and genuine legal right to liberate and retrieve their homeland. The Palestinian people determine their attitude toward all states and forces on the basis of the stands they adopt vis-a-vis to the Palestinian revolution to fulfill the aims of the Palestinian people.

Article 30: Fighters and carriers of arms in the war of liberation are the nucleus of the popular army which will be the protective force for the gains of the Palestinian Arab people.

Article 31: The Organization shall have a flag, an oath of allegiance, and an anthem. All this shall be decided upon in accordance with a special regulation.

Article 32: Regulations, which shall be known as the Constitution of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, shall be annexed to this Charter. It will lay down the manner in which the Organization, and its organs and institutions, shall be constituted; the respective competence of each; and the requirements of its obligation under the Charter.

Article 33: This Charter shall not be amended save by [vote of] a majority of two-thirds of the total membership of the National Congress of the Palestine Liberation Organization [taken] at a special session convened for that purpose.

Now, at one time Palestinian support for the two-state solution was fairly high. But since Israel has continued to occupy more and more of the West Bank and continued to maintain tight control of Palestinians under terrible conditions, harass them in their homes and on their farms, tear down their olive and other orchards, and continued to apply highly disproportionate damage to Palestinians, support for the two state solution among Palestinians has dropped somewhat below 50 pct.

Yes. I understood you were unable to locate the PLO Charter, having been existance for only 52 years.
I already addressed the 1993 Accords, where the boundaries are indefensible for Israel - which is why Israel cannot agree to that, and also why PLO demands the ability to bomb Israel into nonexistence.

You be funny. You solely reference outdated material from either 1967 or 1993. The Jewish Kingdom was established in 1000 BC. It has been conquered more than 50 times. By the Romans, Egyptians, Ottomans/Osmans, and finally by the world in 1917.
Such an illogical location to place the Nation of Israel, in the historic and original Kingdom/home of the Jews. Settling the home of the Jews in the home of the Jews - how horrific. Sure, the Arabs conquered the area for a while, but then they were conquered.

Incorrect. Running out of time to post the massive amount of facts and truth which refutes your ignorance or denials does not equal "concede"
I will concede that you have more time to post nonsense than I have to reply with facts. The wealth of facts and truth in the world is far more voluminous than your narrow narrative of ignorance, lies and denials.

But since Israel has continued to occupy more and more of the West Bank and continued to maintain tight control of Palestinians under terrible conditions, harass them in their homes and on their farms, tear down their olive and other orchards, and continued to apply highly disproportionate damage to Palestinians, support for the two state solution among Palestinians has dropped somewhat below 50 pct.

Didn't explain THAT one, either! However, I DID mention earlier that the reason why Israel hangs onto the Golan Heights (nothing to do with Palestinians BTW) is because of water, not defensibility. But by all means, explain why the 1967 pre-borders are so "indefensible" seeing as how Israel managed to defend those borders in a six-day war.

Such an illogical location to place the Nation of Israel, in the historic and original Kingdom/home of the Jews. Settling the home of the Jews in the home of the Jews - how horrific. Sure, the Arabs conquered the area for a while, but then they were conquered.

Wow, and who was there BEFORE the Jews??? Maybe we should just give the land to the descendants of the earliest inhabitants (who BTW were not Jews, if you recall, bc the Jews were in Egypt).

Maybe we should give Egypt to the Jews?

I will concede that you have more time to post nonsense than I have to reply with facts. The wealth of facts and truth in the world is far more voluminous than your narrow narrative of ignorance, lies and denials.

Well feel free to set me straight about how this is all "sour grapes" about the Ottoman Empire, and the "historical precedent" of the Jews having been there once upon a time .... and then gone for millennia... as the basis for giving that land to absentees over the rights of those who have lived there continuously for centuries.

Yanno, there are rabbis who say there should be NO Jewish homeland. According to them, the Bible says that God cast them out to be eternal refugees, and that trying to create a Jewish state is actually against the Jewish religion.

Zionists on the Defensive
Israel’s Friends overwhelm Capitol Hill
Philip Giraldi • May 25, 2021

Yes folks, there is an international conspiracy and it is all about “protecting” Israel. It operates through front and lobbying groups that uniquely promote the interests of a foreign country, Israel, even when those interests do serious damage to the host country where the lobbyists actually live. In Britain, for example, there are a Conservative Friends of Israel and a Labour Friends of Israel, comprising together 216 members of parliament and party officials. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been silent about Gaza apart from expressing “deep concern” and blaming both sides while Labour leader Keir Starmer, who has also been under pressure to say something, has focused on how four car loads of alleged Palestinian supporters in London may or may not have driven around shouting out “anti-Semitic” comments. Starmer, one recalls, ran on a leadership campaign pledging to root out “anti-Semitism” in the party as a response to previous leader Jeremy Corbyn’s apparently ill-advised public recognition that Palestinians are human beings. Also in Britain, contesting details of the standard narrative of the so-called holocaust can result in a large fine and even some jailtime.

In 2017, Al-Jazeera ran an undercover operation directed against various Israeli front groups in Britain and in the US which determined that officers from the respective Israeli Embassies, presumably intelligence linked, were meeting regularly with members of the alleged non-government organizations that had been set up to provide support for the Jewish state. In Britain, the interaction included explicit discussions on how to destroy the careers of politicians who were deemed to be insufficiently pro-Israeli. In the US the objective has been to disrupt the activities of pro-Palestinian groups, most particularly the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement. The pro-Israeli and anti-Arab initiatives were coordinated with and sometimes initiated by the Israeli Embassy officers, suggesting that they were actually intelligence operations.

That many American Jewish groups are collaborating directly with the Israeli Embassy raises two concerns. First, it is ipso facto a violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which should require registration and complete transparency regarding one’s sources of income and interactions with the foreign embassy. And second, as many of the groups are in tax exempt status with the IRS as either charitable or educational foundations, that status should be rescinded given their foreign affiliation. Of course, the reality is that the Treasury Department has known all that and more for many years and has never taken any action relating to deceptive behavior by pro-Israel groups.

Elsewhere in Europe, “Holocaust denial” even if it only consists of challenging clearly fabricated “factual” details of the event can also land you in jail in Germany and France while criticizing the state of Israel is construed as anti-Semitism, a hate crime. Jewish groups have, in fact, promoted an official “International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance” (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism, which includes any criticism of Israel as a defining characteristic. The United States Department of State has accepted that definition and language.

Yes, the United States has an office of the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism and it is always headed by a Jew, as has been also the office in the Justice Department that continues to be dedicated to rooting out 90 year old Nazis. Meanwhile, the Republican Party, most particularly in its Trump version, is so close to Israel that it might reasonably be regarded as part of the Israel Lobby. And the Democrats are not much better, though there has been some dissent from progressives, which has led to the creation of a Zionist pressure group within the party called the Democratic Majority for Israel. It exists to defend Israel against any and all criticism while also protecting the billions of dollars and other benefits that the Jewish state receives from the US Treasury and government annually.

One might speculate that there is a whole federal government infrastructure devoted to Jewish and Israeli issues. How did that develop? Well, of course, money is what has made it happen. American politicians have notoriously always been easily corruptible, all it takes is a little cash. But no one is allowed to point out that obvious truth as linking Jews to money is regarded, by Jews and their captive media of course, as some kind of “anti-Semitic trope.”

Now it appears that a ceasefire is more-or-less in place but Israel’s ethnic cleansing that preceded its high-tech slaughter of Palestinian civilians who were being deliberately targeted has been perceived by the world, including many Americans, as particularly brutal. Which means the Zionist propaganda plus coercion machine has been working full time. Capitol Hill offices and the White House have no doubt been inundated with calls, emails and visits from constituents all singing the same song that was also being repeated by the President and Congress. It goes like this: “Israel is being attacked by Hamas terrorists and has a right to defend itself!”

Said in fewer words: Zionist propaganda goes like this: Israel is being attacked by Hamas terrorists and has a right to defend itself. I think I read that here somewhere.

Quote:

Sometimes there is a second verse which includes “The only democracy in the Middle East and America’s best friend and ally.”

Too bad that none of it is true, but the media also did its best to support the narrative by reporting how Hamas was launching “swarms” of rockets against Israel, making it appear as if a beleaguered Israel was valiantly defending itself against terrorist hordes. But the actual numbers told a different tale with only 12 Israelis killed after the violence erupted versus 232 Palestinians, including 65 children.

This is the part that demonstrates threat Israel's superior technology guarantees a much higher kill rate.
Quote:

Considerable infrastructure was also deliberately targeted and destroyed in Gaza versus limited damage in Israel while the calculated destruction of the building housing Associated Press (AP) and al-Jazeera should be seen as an attempt to eliminate any independent media observers on the ground in Gaza, even though AP predictably has hardly been critical of the Jewish state.

The Israel Lobby is, to be sure, expert at promoting and marketing its product. It is currently engaged in attacking celebrities and others who expressed any sympathy with the Palestinians while they were being slaughtered by the Israelis as anti-Semites. The larger and more openly combative Lobby groups like the American Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC) have supporters in virtually every congressional district in the United States who can be called upon to get on the phone and start pouring out emails as needed. So every congress critter hears the call and knows what it means. And no one wants to have a hostile Israel Lobby on one’s back if there is any thought of being re-elected. In some cases, approaches include suggestions that significant donations to support one’s political campaign will either increase or be denied depending on what the legislator chooses to do or say.

And then there are the personal visits on Capitol Hill from the Israel lobbyists. The door is always open for the man or woman from AIPAC. Sometimes the Congressman is actually urged to sign a statement on his or her view of the conflict, a document carefully prepared in advance by The Lobby, of course. And the work by the Israel Firsters is almost always effective. Witness for example what took place concerning the assault on Gaza, where Congress and the White House tried to outdo each other in declaring how much they love Israel even though they don’t necessarily have to say or do anything as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did what he wanted anyway. Biden reportedly spoke with Netanyahu six times urging teethlessly “de-escalation” of the fighting but the Israeli each time insisted that he would continue the operation “mowing the grass”

This is how Israel views wholesale killing
Quote:

in Gaza until “its aim is met.”

The Israeli grip on the US government is and should be astonishing and one has to ask why the American people put up with it. They likely endure because they are unaware of the extent of it. If anyone still doubts the degree to which Jewish power is a major force in the United States it is only necessary as a test case to look at the Congressional and White House comments on Gaza, which served absolutely no American interest and which will only make the world even more anti-US due to the Administration’s enablement of the slaughter of the Palestinians. Washington’s UN Ambassador vetoed three Security Council resolutions calling for a cease fire, as is often the case, the only country to vote “no.”

Several aspects of the US role in the fighting particularly demonstrate the ability of Israel and its domestic lobby to get what they want from Washington even when it seems counterintuitive for the Administration and Congress to be falling in line. To be sure, 138 Congressmen and 29 Senators eventually signed onto letters urging a cease fire, but the texts tended to be generic, lacking any context, which means the recommendations were basically useless and not intended to go anywhere.

A highly partisan approach, in line with many of the comments by other government spokesmen, was reflected in a letter from Kevin McCarthy, the “leading Republican” (sic) in Congress, who released a statement confirming his allegiance to Israel. Part of it read:

“The ongoing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians show why America must act immediately to support Israel, condemn Hamas, and sanction those who fund terrorism. Instead of pressuring Israel to compromise with this terrorist group, Democrats should join Republicans in voting to cut off international funding for terrorists.

“That is why today, Rep. Brian Mast, a U.S. Army combat veteran who served alongside the Israel Defense Force (IDF), will push for a vote on the Palestinian International Terrorism Support Prevention Act of 2021.

“This bipartisan bill, which passed the House last Congress, would sanction foreign governments and individuals who fund Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, such as Iran.”

For starters, how exactly is it that a US Army combat veteran served alongside the Israeli Army? And now this great admirer of Israel is in Congress? Once upon a time one would lose US citizenship for serving in a foreign army. Mast must have missed something about swearing an oath to uphold the US Constitution, not Benjamin Netanyahu and his band of thugs and war criminals. And why are McCarthy and Mast including Iran in their indictment? Possibly because Tehran support of the Palestinian cause would be a pretext for another war? And what are McCarthy and Mast doing pledging anything at all to a foreign country which at the time was engaged in genocide?

Bad enough, but what is really appalling is the role of Joe Biden “the peacemaker” in hurriedly pushing through approval to provide the Israelis with $735 million dollars-worth of precision guided missiles, exactly the kind of weapon being used by Israel currently to kill Gazans. One might reasonably ask “What was Joe thinking?” but that raises the second question of “Was he thinking at all, apart from exercising knee jerk loyalty to Israel and its psychotic leader?” He did not have to provide more weapons to the Jewish state, which apparently was not running out of weapons of its own, but he did it anyway.

The United States already pays one fifth of Israel’s so-called “defense” budget and this extra contribution, as well as the funds provided annually to pay for Iron Dome defense, is on top of that.

The USA President does not have to stand by and helplessly wring his hands if he wants to change Israeli policy. All he needs to do is cut off USA "foreign aid" to Israel
Quote:

If there was any question whether the US was enabling the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians the question was surely answered by the decision made by the president, who knowingly provided US made weapons to be used by Israel to commit war crimes in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention, the US Arms Control Export Act and the existing Arms Supply Agreement between the US and Israel. He also was providing advanced tactical weapons to a country which is in violation of the Leahy Law due to its uninspected nuclear arsenal and is therefore ineligible for US government military assistance of any kind.

To be sure, some in Congress introduced a resolution to stop the weapons “sale” (a euphemism as Israel never pays for anything). Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib have proposed blocking the presidential authorization based on its one-sidedness and unsuitability when fighting is actually going on, but it was a futile gesture as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will surely let the bill die in committee. It will never reach the House floor for a vote. Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced a similar resolution in the Senate which will likely suffer the same fate.

Tlaib has argued that “The US cannot continue to give the right-wing Netanyahu government billions each year to commit crimes against Palestinians. Atrocities like bombing schools cannot be tolerated, much less conducted with US-supplied weapons. To read the statements [from the Biden Administration] you’d hardly know Palestinians existed at all. No child, Palestinian or Israeli, whoever they are, should ever have to worry that death will fall from the sky. How many of my colleagues are willing to say the same, to stand for Palestinian human rights as they do for Israel? How many Palestinians have to die for their lives to matter?”

So it is all same old, same old. Biden, who boasts that American ties to Israel are “unbreakable,” has welcomed the cease fire in Gaza but it is at best a pause in what has become generational intercommunal warfare based on Israeli intentions to eliminate the Palestinians. And Biden will even be seen as having provided the weapons to further that process. Americans, who have no compelling interest in being involved at all apart from their domination by a ruthless Israel Lobby on foreign policy issues relating to the Middle East, will pay the piper as they rearm the Israelis and enable the next round of killing. Some believe that the tide of public opinion is turning against Israel due to its brutality, but I have my doubts as the Lobby has been in control for so long and knows exactly which buttons to push to get what it wants. That, the subversion and corruption of American democracy, is the real tragedy.



I'll get to commentary later.

Let's put this all in perspective:

WHAT'S IT TO THE USA?

What do WE - you and I - get out of supporting Israel? Or supporting the Palestinians? Or being against Israel? Or being against the Palestinians? What do we get out of it? Oil? Money? Trade? Security? Anything?

What business is it of ours what Israel does, or doesn't do? Whether it learns to get along with its neighbors, or not? Whether it survives as a religious (Jewish) state, or not? Or morphs into something else?

Let's de-conflate something here: ISRAEL IS NOT THE UNITED STATES

Just asking for a friend.

Maybe you could post some links, or at least dates? Was that mission from this year? I heard of one single tower being targeted recently, a military target. Was that translation via the terrorist sympathizer network? Was it the Palestinian terrorists who identified the kid as victim of IDF after the kid died from the terrorist habitually lousy aim of Palestinian fire? Is Middle East Eye a terrorist sympathizer group?

JSF: You seem to think that there are only two schools of thought: You're either with the Israelis or against them. The moment someone says anything at all sympathetic about Palestinians you jump the the conclusion that they're saying "Israel doesn't have a right to defend itself" or "Israel doesn't have a rightto exist".

Well, OF COURSE Israelhas a right to defend itself. And even if Israel was born in a historical crime... well, America was born in genocide, wasn't it? But it's a fact now, like Israel, and the peoplle alive today aren't responsible for the crimes committed by generations past. Same with Israel.

But Israel has taken their actions far, far, waaaaay beyond defense, to outright ethnic cleansing. One of my friends lived in Israel on a kibbut for a couple of years. Learned Hebrew FWIW. Lived in Egypt for a year, and learned some Arabic. He knows what's what, and he knows from personal observation what a shit deal Israelis dish out to Palestinians morning, noon, and night.

You keep whining about all of the "Palestinian civilians" that are killed by the Palestinian-launched missiles made by Iran.


I understand that 2/3 of Palestinian casualties are the Terrorists. So they should stop being terrorists, to live.
Of the remainder, most are killed by the missiles/bombs that the Palestinians launch which land short of the Israeli border. So the Palestinians are killing their own civilians.

Israel keeps trying to effect Security in the area, and if you would let them do it, then the Palestinian civilians wouldn't be getting killed.


I don't know why you always want the Palestinian civilians to be killed, but you keep insisting upon it.

Palestinian terrorists are bombarding their own people, as 700 of the rockets fired from Gaza by Hamas and other terror groups — some 20% of the total — land in Gaza, often killing innocent Palestinian civilians whose deaths are wrongly blamed on Israel.
Simple math tells me that if 700 =1/5 of all rockets fired, then Hamas launched 3,500 rockets. So, I looked up how many rockets were fired. LA Times says 4,000
https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-05-20/hamas-amass-arse

Israeli Defense Forces say 1,600
https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-iron-dome-blocks-90-percent-roc
kets-hamas-gaza-2021-5

Does anybody have the real numbers, not only of the rockets that made it over the border but also the ones that fell short? Given that western reporters were not allowed (by Israel) into Gaza, I question anyone's numbers, until I know how they were counted.

There is one thing that's true, tho: Israel wanted a ceasefire bc they were running out of (expensive) Iron Dome interceptors. Hamas could have been launching fireworks-powered trash cans but Israel would STILL have to shoot it down bc they have to respond to every projectile.

Maybe check your reality. Perhaps you have an outdated version of Reality.

And then there is the cluster of other links that contradict each other and are based in non-observed events.

So, let's say that Hamas killed 20 Gazans by accident.

Thats terrible. They must be horrible people.

Israel killed 200. On purpose. So on that gray scale of "worse-better", does that make Israel 10X worse than Hamas? Or do we get to put a multiplier on that because Israel kills people with malice aforethought? Can we call them, say, 1,000 times worse, because that represents the difference between mass murder versus manslaughter?

Simple math tells me that if 700 =1/5 of all rockets fired, then Hamas launched 3,500 rockets. So, I looked up how many rockets were fired. LA Times says 4,000

LA Times, predictably reporting from Dubai, quoting only terrorist side sources: By 20 May 05:56, bragging of 4,000 terrorist missiles, no other data. But bragging that targeting is better than ever before (perhaps better than 20% landing on Palestinians?)

Reporting 13 May 05:24 (Thursday). 1,600 total terrorist missiles(from IDF), 400 landing on Palestinians (from AP in Gaza on 13 May, which also claims 2,000 from Gaza into Israel) (400/1600, which would be 25%; or 400/2400 = 17% in 4 days), leaving 1,200 for Iron Dome to intercept, which it said 90% were, missing 120 missiles - some landing in open desert.

Does anybody have the real numbers, not only of the rockets that made it over the border but also the ones that fell short? Given that western reporters were not allowed (by Israel) into Gaza
You prefer the reporters were killed by terrorist missiles?
Quote:

I question anyone's numbers, until I know how they were counted.

There is one thing that's true, tho: Israel wanted a ceasefire bc they were running out of (expensive) Iron Dome interceptors. Hamas could have been launching fireworks-powered trash cans but Israel would STILL have to shoot it down bc they have to respond to every projectile.

This one contradicts your other link on the total number of rockets fired.

Reported 12 May 23:15 GMT, IDF says 180 terrorist missiles launched on Wed since 6am local time, for total of 1500. Another 40 on Wed landed in Gaza. And since late Monday (start), 1500 were fired, and around 350 landed in Gaza.

More than 1750 total since exchange started after 18:00 on Monday, with at least 300 falling in Gaza, which the terrorists again blaming on IDF missiles. On Thurs, IDF reported 350 terrorist missiles landing in Gaza.

Maybe check your reality. Perhaps you have an outdated version of Reality.

And then there is the cluster of other links that contradict each other and are based in non-observed events.

I found no contradictions in those remaining linkys, with each other, or with the entirety of the linkys. Perhaps you can point out one contradiction.
Quote:



So, let's say that Hamas killed 20 Gazans by accident.

Thats terrible. They must be horrible people.

Israel killed 200. On purpose. So on that gray scale of "worse-better", does that make Israel 10X worse than Hamas? Or do we get to put a multiplier on that because Israel kills people with malice aforethought? Can we call them, say, 1,000 times worse, because that represents the difference between mass murder versus manslaughter?

200 terrorists, OK.
No, killing terrorists does not make IDF worse than terrorists killing innocent civilians - which they almost only practice.
Killing people who have malice aforethought (meaning terrorists knowingly killing their own), which you seem to be saying IDF does, seems like it is 1/1000th times worse. So each terrorist mass murder of civilians is 1000x worse than the combat deaths IDF inflicts - that seems reasonable.



In summary: I really don't understand your adamant insistence on trying to confuse yourself.

I do recall during that week that news reports were coming in fast and were conflicting in real time. (War is messy)


From the above linkys,


NGO UN Watch on 10 May (Mon), 17 civilians in Gaza killed by Palestinian terrorist missiles falling in Gaza.

IDF: from late Monday to 06:00 Wed, about 1320 total launched by terrorists and about 310 landed in Gaza. (calculates to 310/1320 = 23.5%)

IDF on 12 May (Wed) 23:15, 180 missiles launched on Wed since 06:00, for total of 1500 since Monday. And 40 landed in Gaza on Wed, for total of 350 since late Mon. (calculates to 40/180 = 22% for Wed) (total calculates to 350/1500 = 23%)

AP in Gaza on 13 May, 2000 from terrorists into Israel, and 400 from terrorists landing in Gaza. (calculates to 400/2400=16.7% landing in Gaza, according to terrorists)
IDF on 13 May (Thurs) 05:24, 1600 total terrorist missiles launched.

IDF on 13 May (Thurs) 15:53, 350 terrorist missiles fell in Gaza in last 3 days.

IDF on 13 May Thurs) 18:19, 1750 total missiles launched, with at least 300 landing in Gaza. Then IDF updates with 350 figure. (350/1750 calculates to 20%)

Calculation indicates Thursday figures are 150 more launched, and 50 more land in Gaza. (calculates to 50/150=33% land in Gaza)

IDF on 19 May (Wed), 700 terrorists missiles fell in Gaza, 20% of total (calculates to 3500 total, 20% = 700/3500). Conflict continues Wed.

Terrorists on 20 May 05:56, 4000 terrorist missiles launched. Claim targeting is better than ever. (IDF agreed to cease fire on 20 May. Terrorists continued to launch missiles until agreeing to cease fire 02:00 local time Friday 21 May.)




I don't see much conflicts or contradictions of data from IDF, while they were regularly updating data as it came available.

Of course, conflicts and contradictions of data (and reality) from Palestine terrorists has been historically consistent.

You argued that the total count on 13 May should be the same as the total count on 19 May - which just sounds completely preposterous and delusional.

Funny how when Hamas rockets fall short, they land only on innocent civilians, but when Israel launchses rockets into Gaza they have such PRECISE aim that only "terrorists" are killed!

Arguing against yourself, yet again.
You just argued that IDF missiles were much more surgical strikes, and that the terrorist missiles were notoriously inaccurate - if they even made it across the Israeli border.
And now you seem to call your own statements into question.

To correct your misstatements, the IDF missiles kill only terrorists, plus the women and children that the terrorists hustled into the military targets, even after IDF announced to evacuate these targets before the missiles were launched.

I was being sarcastic, JSF. I guess sarcasm doesn't come across in writing very well. Again, you're agruing non-facts. ]

It is FACT that ISF targeted high-rise residential buildings, schools, and hospitals, and that they did so because they were NON-military targets.

Israel/OPT: Pattern of Israeli Attacks on Residential Homes in Gaza Must Be Investigated As War Crimes
WASHINGTON - Israeli forces have displayed a shocking disregard for the lives of Palestinian civilians by carrying out a number of airstrikes targeting residential buildings in some cases killing entire families - including children - and causing wanton destruction to civilian property, in attacks that may amount to war crimes or crimes against humanity, said Amnesty International today.

The organization has documented four deadly attacks by Israel launched on residential homes without prior warning and is calling for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to urgently investigate these attacks. The death toll in Gaza continues to climb with at least 198 Palestinians killed including 58 children and more than 1,220 injured.

Israel's Bombardment of Gaza: Methods, Weapons, and Impact

For eleven days this May, an asymmetric war raged between the Israeli Defense Force, one of the most technologically advanced militaries on the planet, and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that governs the Gaza Strip, a small, isolated and impoverished coastal enclave with a population of 2 million.

I previously looked at the rockets and other weapon systems employed by Hamas against civilian and military targets in Israel, as well as the effectiveness of Israel’s Iron Dome defense system.

This article examines the principal weapons and methods employed by the Israeli Defense Force and their impact on Hamas and civilians in Gaza.

The IDF ground and air forces reportedly conducted a total 1,500 strikes in the 11-day war, injuring 1,900 Palestinians and killing at least 254.

The IDF claimed it killed at least 225 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) fighters and 25 of their leaders. Israeli strategists saw the war as an opportunity to ‘mow the lawn’ by destroying assets built up by Hamas since the last war with Israel in 2014. Hamas and PIJ have only conceded to the loss of 80 fighters (57 Hamas, 22 PIJ, plus one member of a group called the Popular Resistance Committee).

Gaza health authorities meanwhile reported 39 women, 17 elderly persons (ages 60-90) and 66 children among the dead. Amongst the latter were eleven children aged 5 to 15 enrolled in the Norwegian Refugee Council’s trauma relief program.

The many dead children are in part a consequence of the IDF practice of bombing the homes of Hamas leaders. Heavy casualties also resulted from a strike targeting an “underground military structure” on al-Wahda street that killed over 40 civilians, wiping out all but a few members of three large families...

The IDF prominently employed the 2,000-pound GBU-31 (V)4/B bunker-buster subvariant to level high-rise [APARTMENT] buildings in Gaza....

The IDF bombardment, however, had wider effects:

53 school buildings damaged
11 health centers and six hospitals damaged, including Gaza’s only Covid testing and vaccination center, and a Red Crescent headquarters
The leader of Gaza’s Covid-19 campaign killed along with dozens of civilians in his apartment building.
Gaza’s largest bookstore destroyed
A desalinization plant (ie. converting salt water into drinkable water) disabled
Gaza’s infrastructure including electricity sewage pipes has been ruptured by bomb blasts, and reportedly 50% of the water pipeline network

The attacks have reportedly damaged 17,000 residential and commercial units and destroyed 1,000 residential units including 5 residential towers, leaving at least 72,000 Palestinians homeless.

Do you want to know how I know that Israel was striking NON-military targets? Because rockets continued to be launched from Gaza in such numbers that the IDF had to sue for a cease-fire, since their interceptors had been depleted. You don't need to launch something expensive to get Israel to use up its costly interceptors.

When an aggressor nation, especially one that is so technologically superior and financially wealthier than its opponent, rains so much destruction down on civilians, this becomes a war crime.

Seems very similar to me to tbe Vietnam War: We couldn't stop the enemy so we resorted to carpet bombing, wholesale napalming, and poisoning the landscape, every living creature in it, and our own troops with defoliant Agent Orange.

Now, I hope you won't ignore these facts because you try to be fact-driven, and they ARE facts, not IDF propaganda.

*****

You may rightly ask: How, then, does Israel defend itself? I would say, first of all, but NOT annexing more and more and more land. This annexation has nothing to do with defensible borders (which were perfectly defensible pre-1967) and is all about ethnic cleansing.

My second suggestion is to negotiate in good faith, and get bigger nations to act as guarantors of the peace.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.



The narrative is that Palestinians attacked Israel for no good reason!

But reality is far different.


PLEASE NOTE AN ISRAELI LAW THAT'S INHERENTLY RACIST



Jerusalem evictions that fueled Gaza war could still happen

JERUSALEM (AP) — A long-running campaign by Jewish settlers to evict dozens of Palestinian families in east Jerusalem is still underway, even after it fueled weeks of unrest and helped ignite an 11-day Gaza war.

An intervention by Israel’s attorney general at the height of the unrest has put the most imminent evictions on hold. But rights groups say evictions could still proceed in the coming months as international attention wanes, potentially igniting another round of bloodshed.

The settlers have been waging a decades-long campaign to evict the families from densely populated Palestinian neighborhoods in the so-called Holy Basin just outside the walls of the Old City, in one of the most sensitive parts of east Jerusalem.

Israel captured east Jerusalem, home to holy sites sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims, in the 1967 war and annexed it in a move not recognized internationally.

The settlers are using a 1970 law that allows Jews to reclaim properties lost during the 1948 war surrounding Israel’s creation, a right denied to Palestinians who lost property in the same conflict, including Palestinian citizens of Israel.
