"Everything Palestinian in Jerusalem is targeted by Israeli occupation"

Yes I did and he was spot on. It just goes to show how much of a failure the Jewish State is, it must be the most dangerous place for a Jew apart from the countries they have made their enemies. Rather than become a democratic outward looking country they have become little more than the largest ghetto in the world!

 

There's a lot of truth in that. I would have thought that Zionism would have waned in the past 70 years. I was wrong.

 

Its complicated to say the least.

excerpt:

In May 1917 the Zionist Socialist and Jewish Socialist Labor Party, known as SERP, merged to form a United Jewish Socialist Workers Party (Fareynikte, or “Uniteds”). They were Marxist socialists who, unlike the Bund, favored the establishment of autonomous Jewish territories (this was their Zionism). SERP had advocated national-cultural autonomy with a parliament for each ethnic group in the state. This party had ties mainly to the Socialist Revolutionaries, as well as some connections to the Mensheviks.

Interesting point from the article Alexa posted,

The gathering holy war
Slowly, Israel is transforming a settler-colonial project against the Palestinians into a battle with the wider Islamic world. It is turning a territorial conflict into a holy war.

The demographic growth of Israel’s religious population, the cultivation by the school system of an ever-more extreme ideology based on the Bible, the takeover of the state’s key power centres by the religious, and the emergence of a class of influential rabbis who preach genocide against Israel’s neighbours has set the stage for a perfect storm in the region.

The question now is at what point will Israel’s allies, in the US and Europe, finally wake up to the catastrophic direction Israel is heading in – and find the will to take the necessary action to stop it.

Increasingly you see Zionists arguing on this forum against Muslims, jumping on any Muslim hate thread and fuelling the flames. They deny that Israel is a colony and push the lie that it is a religious conflict.

 

At its heart it isn't a religious conflict.. That's an excuse. Its a land grab.. and ethnic cleansing.
