    The hypocrisy of the US government. It wouldn't be the first time. You are talking about people who used the Geneva Convention to complain about torture, then turn right around and commit it.

    Why do you want to deprive the world of its benefactor?

    “Israel today concentrates the genius of the Jews. Obscured by the prevalent media narrative of the “war-torn” Middle East, Israel’s rarely-celebrated feats of commercial, scientific, and technological creativity climax the Jews’ twentieth-century saga of triumph over tragedy. Today tiny Israel,
    with its population of 7.23 million, five and one-half million Jewish, is second only the United States in technological contributions. In per capita innovation, Israel dwarfs all nations. The forces of civilization in the world continue to feed upon the intellectual wealth epitomized by Israel.

    Today in the Middle East, Israeli wealth looms palpably and portentously over the middens of Arab poverty. But dwarfing Israel’s own wealth is Israel’s contribution to the world economy, stemming from Israeli creativity and entrepreneurial innovation. Israel’s technical and scientific gifts to global progress loom with similar majesty over all others’ contributions with the sole exception of the United States.”

    The Israel Test by George Gilder

    No, my friend. Israel will live long and prosper.

    No, it's your economy is good 'cos of Israel. Get your facts straight.

    As for "brutal racist repression", thank you for the laugh :roflol:

    In and by itself, no. Couple Israel’s economic miracle with seven wars made on Israel by Arabs, by constant terrorist attacks, by threats of Arabs to destroy Israel which is forcing Israel and United States to continuously upgrade Israel’s defenses, and most of all, Israel’s technological and scientific gifts to the world and yes, Israel is justified to exist, occasional Palestinian rights violations notwithstanding. Moreover, it must exist, for the sake of the World :)

    I think the world would be just fine, especially considering the amount of people who have died trying to get their stolen home back. War against Israel is largely justified

    Native Americans don't want to kick random white civilians out. It's too late to completely decolonize America, now we just need to integrate with a keen awareness of history

    there are more than 500,000 Palestinian refugees living in Gaza.

    returning to Israel is their legal right

    you created a thread about Israel.

    Israel is the subject of the thread.

    dont create a thread about Israel if you believe all criticism of Israeli actions is irrational & illogical bigotry.

    when Trump is no longer in office, official US policy will once again recognize the West Bank and East Jerusalem as Occupied Territory.
