Israel- small but outstanding


A tiny country, which seems to attract so much attention, both good and bad. A beautiful country, with a great people. That is Israel :

      Screaming anti-semite at me isn't going to work; it might make others cower, but I am of harder material than that. Palestine must be set free of the occupation.

      Yeah, Dublin is quite cool. I like the giant spike they put up in the middle of the city via EU money. And people say the EU doesnt was money!

    Do you ever consider the reason Israel ' has the eye of the world fixed on it constantly ' is the view held by many, including myself that Israel with it's ' actions ' is granted a strange form of ' exceptionalism ' by it's continuing protection by the worlds only superpower and the political elites of other countries . It is not also the case that when ' undeniable injustice' occurs , that the kneejerk and desperate reaction of Israel's defenders, more often than not using obfuscation , creates an even larger reactive response by those who see it as a defense of the indefencible ?

  6. Israel today is as Britain in 1940- alone, isolated, the enemy is at the gate, with constant bombarding of civilian settlements by Nazi terrorists, but with supportive friends. Is Bibi the Israeli Churchill? Let us hope so! Our homeland has been retaken and we'll defend it to the last Jew! To the anti-semities who troll this wonderful Jewish blog, piss off!

    you have done a much-needed job here showing these ghastly Jew-haters at work. It must be like swimming through a sewer. More power to your elbow.

    Atheist .Love the obvious trolling (you’re like a baseball pitcher who throws a 40 MPH fastball, and everyone here is a home run hitter), but seriously: aren’t there many, many, MANY war crimes around the world you need to try to explain away? That would be more in line with your abilities than any of your posts here thus far.

    Yes all very tragic and even more so since it's being committed by their fellow Muslims/Arabs who care not a jot for them. Otherwise they would have absorbed them into their societies, as Israel did for Jews thrown out of Arab countries. Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon have been content to use the Palestinians as a running sore against Israel.

    Israeli Arabs living inside the '67 cease fire line enjoys more freedom and a better standard of life than Arabs living in many surrounding countries. Israel isn't without fault but the plight of the Palestinians (or Arab refugees as they used to be called) is not hers and stretches all the way back to the UN declaration when the Jews said yes to partition and the Arabs said no and invaded that nascent state.
    There's no possible scenario that these refugees will ever see their former homes as the majority were born in the places they now live. Even those who may have a genuine claim are likely to be resettled in Gaza or The West Bank if ever a deal can be made - which is looking less likely every day. Abbas has said that in any final deal the West Bank will be Judenrein. Well maybe Israel will respond in kind and force all Muslims to leave.

    There's probably more likely hood that White Australia will decamp back to England and restore the continent to the Aborigines or New Zealand will do the same.

  12. If Israel were to have killed or expelled every single Arab in the land which it held in 1948 then it would rightly be accused of ethnic cleansing, if it had placed policement at the ports to check that the refugees did not take anything other than the clothes on their backs, they they would rightly be accused of stealing from the refugees.

    If Israel were to pass a law stating that it is a capital offense to sell land to an Arab, then Israel would rightly be accused of racism. If Israel were to pass a law stating that anyone can be a citizen, provided that they are not an Arab and demand that for peace not a single Arab should be allowed to remain in Israeli land, then Israel would be rightly condemned as racist. If Israeli leaders refused to recognize Palestine as the national home of the Palestinian people = then that would quite rightly be seen as an obstacle to peace.

    If the Israeli President had written his doctoral thesis on how the Naqba never happended and refused to recant it - then his commitment to peace would be questioned.

    If Israel, as a pre-condition for peace talks were to demand the release of Ami Popper, jailed for killing Arabs and then have the entire cabinet turn out to celbrate his release, and then name the main square in Tel-Aviv in his name, and another one in the name of Baruch Goldrtein - we would question how that contributes to peace.

    But when the Palestinians expelled or murdered every single Jew in the land they held, that was acceptable, when Arab governments fleeced Jewish refugees that was acceptable.
    And when the Palestinian Authority passes a law making it a capital offense to sell land to a Jew and their nationality law specifically denies Jews the right to ciizen, that is understandable.
    When Palestinians refuse to accept that Israel is the national home of the JEwish people, that is perfectly acceptable. When the PA celebrates the release of terrorists that is understandable and raises no question - and when Abu Mazen, refuses to refute his Doctoral thesis on how the holocaust never happended that too is perfectly acceptable.

    The double standards being applied are beyond comprehension, leading to the only logical conclusion that what motivates people to condemn Israel for occupying land which was supposed to belong to it, but not say China for occupying Tibet, when people write in condemn Israel for protecting itself by using British mandatory law, but not any of the repressive regimes in the region - one can only question their liberal credentials and real motives.
