Middle east crisis.

if any injustice is being done, it’s done by hamas. They knew the reaction would be severe after their massacres on 7/10/23. I sincerely hope that a ceasefire agreement will happen asap. Injustice did not begin on 7/10/23. Israeli policies have kept Gaza Strip residents in a pressure cooker for 17 years and it has retained all the occupied territory in violation of UN resolutions. So, …

We are talking about today’s problems, not years ago.
You obviously believe it’s OK for the sudden anti-semitism which has raised its ugly head.

In one of your earlier posts you commented that a it’s OK for all the pro Palestinian rallies. Many of those rallies are backed by Hamas supporters, who are indoctrinating young students into believing the lies which are being told.

There is none so blind ,as those who can’t see.

Have you ever been to Israel or any of the bordering places ?

I lost a good friend at the Nova massacre on the 7/10/23.

We are talking about today’s problems, not years ago. … shippy, I quickly discovered that you posted at the very beginning of this thread — 13 May 2021, Eid al-Fitr as happens — and that you lamented the fact that Israeli police intervened at the Al-Aqsa Mosque on that Muslim holy day! You did not seem to have thought to yourself that these Muslim Palestinians have a genuine grievance. I suspect from your post that you will have visited Israel. Did you perchance visit the West Bank? Did you travel the highways for Israeli Jews to and from the settlements? Did you notice walls placed to obscure a view into the villages of the Arab residents? Had you experienced the checkpoints West Bank residents must endure to travel within the West Bank? — unlikely, I am guessing! Your post #15 cited another linking to an article offering a very one-sided account asserting that it has been always the Palestinian side that blocked any manner of settlement of the dispute between the incoming European Jews and the preexisting Arab population. I have read much about that history in the three years since this thread was started. There is a determined pattern of distortion from Herzl's Der Judenstaat onward essentially saying variously there are and never have been Palestinians, else the Palestinians have no rights, else the Palestinians have forfeited their rights because they have resisted the Zionist programme. You posted: "We are talking about today’s problems, not years ago. …" — "today's problems" did not come out of the blue! ‘There’s none so blind as those who will not see’

Israel is waiting for Hamas to consider the latest truce offer/proposal.
