You also have an asshole, Benjamin Netanyahu who has been pushing a hard line against all of his neighbors for years. But he is another discussion altogether.
I am not defending Hamas, but when you take issue with them you should also be condemn Netanyahu.
As for World War II, my father landed on the shores of Normandy and went all the way to Germany and saw everything for himself. I know all about World War II from the many stories he told me, even better were my neighbors who moved into the house next to me when they came from Germany in 1951. They were both Hitler Children, they also remained our neighbors for the next 28 years.
You have so much concern for those that were taken away by Hamas, how about all of the Palestine women and children that Netanyahu has taken and is now using to trade for those hostages.
brooklyn13, So you easily accuse others of conflating Jews with Israel, yet you conflate what possibly could simply have been a tweet by only one individual in support of the Hamas atrocity with the whole BLM movement. Repeat to you:
Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement that seeks to highlight racism, discrimination, and racial inequality experienced by black people, and promote anti-racism. Its primary concerns are incidents of police brutality and racially motivated violence against black people.[1][2][3][4][5] It started following the killings of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and Rekia Boyd, among others. The movement and its related organizations typically advocate for various policy changes considered to be related to black liberation.[6] While there are specific organizations that label themselves simply as "Black Lives Matter," such as the Black Lives Matter Global Network, the overall movement is a decentralized network of people and organizations with no formal hierarchy.[7] The slogan "Black Lives Matter" itself remains untrademarked by any group.[8] Despite being characterized by some as a violent movement, the overwhelming majority of its public demonstrations have been peaceful.[9] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter
That revisited, one other - This is you and what you are defending while soaking yourself and Zionist Israel in unmerited victimhood:
Related: The U.S.-Israel Relationship No Longer Makes Sense [...]In U.S. political discourse, it is axiomatic that Israel is in a constant struggle for survival. But this narrative is an anachronism. Israel is in a better strategic position than ever, and its sovereignty is beyond question. Let’s take a tour around the region: Israel has peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan. It has normal relations with Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates. The Israelis also have informal ties with Saudi Arabia. Qatar allows Israeli diamond traders to do business in Doha, and Oman has recently agreed to open its airspace to Israel’s airliners. P - Along with its Arab partners, the United States, and Europe, Israel has managed to marginalize the Palestinian question. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=171638982
"t's hard to tell if you're serious about this but this is an unsupportable opinion in the actual, real world. By your logic, those other countries couldn't be Islamic if they had a sizable population of Jews, but that's ok, amirite?"
No
Supporters call Israel’s new Jewish nation-state law a “defining moment.” Critics say it’s “apartheid.”
[...]
The law does three big things:
1. It states that “the right to exercise national self-determination” in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people.”
2. It establishes Hebrew as Israel’s official language, and downgrades Arabic — a language widely spoken by Arab Israelis — to a “special status.”
3. It establishes “Jewish settlement as a national value” and mandates that the state “will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.”
Each of these statements would be contentious on its own, but taken together, they’re a clear, unequivocal statement of how the Jewish state’s current leaders see both the country and the diverse people who call it home.

Ayman Odeh, the leader of a coalition of primarily Arab parties currently in the opposition, said in a statement that Israel had “passed a law of Jewish supremacy and told us that we will always be second-class citizens.”
But at the core of the new law is a deep, existential debate that Israelis have grappled with almost since the country’s founding: Can Israel be both a “Jewish state” that protects and celebrates Jewish identity, and a liberal democracy that protects the rights of all minorities, including non-Jews?
The new law is about longstanding disputes over borders and identity
[...]
But while they certainly enjoy more rights than Palestinians in East Jerusalem, who in turn have it better than Palestinians in the West Bank, who have it far better than Palestinians in Gaza, Arab Israelis say that since the state’s founding, in practice they have not been afforded the same rights as Jewish Israelis. This is one reason why many Arab Israelis refer to themselves as Palestinians with Israeli citizenship.
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel, an Israeli human rights organization, has documented .. https://www.acri.org.il/en/category/arab-citizens-of-israel/arab-minority-rights/ .. entrenched discrimination and socioeconomic differences in “land, urban planning, housing, infrastructure, economic development, and education.” More than half the poor families in Israel are Arab, and Arab municipalities are the poorest in Israel, according to ACRI.
[...]
The new law reflects a deeper political shift in Israel and abroad
Netanyahu has aligned himself with illiberal leaders like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, and has even established relations with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.
So there is you and what you are speaking in support of. And there is myself and others who are not in Netanyahu's camp. It is your prerogative not to reply to posts, we all do it. Perhaps this time you could consider replying to that one. If not fair enough. However, you cannot argue that you are not described accurately there.
