    Thank G-d -- my parents and Jewish therapists have helped me. Humanitarianism is a very important part of Jewish culture.

    Jewish doctors help all Humans.

    Yes, but they don't say it's ongoing, or intentional. They also don't give any sources for their allegations, not even a picture. However, the photos of the agricultural produce below the text contradict the assertions about contaminated, dry, barren fields.

    Israeli Arabs are routinely buying their groceries, fruit and vegetables, from markets over the green line. It's cheaper. They also sell these products in their stores, and many Israeli Jews are buying them. We all eat them. Do you seriously think Israel would contaminate fields that feed its own population?

    Why should I have quoted the entire post? Did any part which I left out mention that we know for a fact, and therefore would've answered my question? No. Anyway, where are you getting your information from?

    No idea, but if there's no opposition party, then how can you expect Hamas to be held to account and how can you expect the Palestinian people to vote for another party which doesn't exist? @Grau, any insight into any opposition to Hamas?

    It's very hard to find out details about a story that doesn't mention any significant data about the events it supposedly describe. The only house demolished in a neighborhood of Jerusalem that day, to the best of my knowledge, is the illegally built al Tahan family house. Here's the story, from an anti-Israel source, so biased:
    https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=291842665411144

    Couldn't find a report on this in English from a less biased source.

    I do not think it is of the same house as it is a different bulldozer.

    Can you comment on this claim made on that facebook page?

    It is much easier for many of us who have not been systematically targeted by the structures that make up governments and societies to believe that the responsibility for this loss lies with the family, rather than in the laws that led to their home’s destruction. In fact, building and zoning laws in Israeli-controlled spaces all across Historical Palestine work specifically to further Jewish settlement (supported by the Nation State Law among many others) while deterring Palestinians from building the structures they need to support their most basic needs: shelter, education, and so on.

    Do such laws exist? What would be your explanation for the destruction of the home?

    No. And because I do not, I do not judge the action of the Israeli Government.

    I suppose.

    What happened in 2013? Did Jesus return and change the Christian laws? As far as I know, they still say that non-Christians will go to hell.

    True, but I think Buddhism shares that distinction.

    What, specifically, would you like to know about the Martyr's Fund. I'd be happy to answer as soon as you answer my earlier question I have already asked 3 times:

    If no one in the world cares about the Palestinians, why does the Israeli government employ 15,000 paid, trained and scripted Hasbara Trolls who use the Israeli propaganda app. "Act.IL"


    “Here’s how to deal with extremist pro-Israeli trolls on social media”
    https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2019/06/...extremist-pro-israeli-trolls-on-social-media/

    EXCERPT “We have known for a long time that the Israeli government funds intensive online attacks against people who criticise their policies or express support for the BDS movement (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) against Israel or actively support the Palestinian struggle for human rights.

    A person attacked in this way will find messages posted online calling them a “Nazi”, “anti-Semite”, “Jew-hater” etc and will typically feel shocked and overwhelmed.

    Now we know the details of how this works.

    In many cases these attacks will be from a single person using multiple on-line identities on behalf of an Israeli government funded group called ACT.IL. CONTINUED

    I seriously doubt it.

    The primitive rockets sometimes used by the Palestinians generally follow an Israeli provocation and are followed by a disproportionate Israeli response.

    Israel's "Provoke-then-Massacre" strategy (1) is an old strategy used to ethnically cleanse what little remains of Palestinian land.

    (1) "Moshe Dayan, in his diaries said: "Our strategy was always to provoke the Arabs and get an appropriate response so we could attack and smash them."

    I am very interested to get Israelis reaction to this Basic Law,

    The right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people.

    As I understand it only a Jew has the right to self determination not an Israeli

    The video is clearly staged.

    The license plates on the car in the video are Israeli. The house being demolished was in Israel, and the only house demolished that day belonged to the al Tahan family. The law being applied in this case is the Israeli law, the same law that applies to all Israeli citizens and residents.

    When I said the site is biased, I had a damn good reason for it. Ras al Amud, where that house was, is Israeli territory, not in the areas controlled by Israel over the green line. Yet the author of the post treats it like it's not Israeli territory, like different laws apply. It's a lie.

    Israel's Supreme Court ruled that the same laws apply to Israeli citizens and to Palestinians in areas controlled by Israel. I don't know of any laws that are different for Palestinians, except for confiscation of land for military purposes, which is permitted in international law.

    Oh, I didn't know that. Now I'm very interested too.

    Would you comment on this basic law then?

    The state views the development of Jewish settlement as a national value and will act to encourage and promote its establishment and consolidation.

    I understand there is some argument about the translation of the word settlement. But it would appear that Israels basic law discriminate between Jewish and Israeli settlement, please correct me if I am wrong.

    Then, you may be familiar with what former Israeli Education Minister Shulamit Aloni calls "the trick".


    EXCERPT "The ACT.IL tactic is based on the “trick” revealed by former Israeli Education Minister Shulamit Aloni.

    “WELL, IT’S A TRICK, WE ALWAYS USE IT. WHEN FROM EUROPE SOMEBODY IS CRITICIZING ISRAEL, THEN WE BRING UP THE HOLOCAUST. WHEN IN THIS COUNTRY (THE US) PEOPLE ARE CRITICIZING ISRAEL, THEN THEY ARE ANTI-SEMITIC…..IT’S VERY EASY TO BLAME PEOPLE WHO CRITICIZE CERTAIN ACTS OF THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT AS ANTI-SEMITIC, AND TO BRING UP THE HOLOCAUST, AND THE SUFFERING OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE, AND THAT IS TO JUSTIFY EVERYTHING WE DO TO THE PALESTINIANS.”
