  1. There is no good understanding of terrroristm. The definition is: “Terrorism (from the Latin word terror, panic) is the commission of serious violence, or serious threat thereof, WITHOUT LAWFUL GROUNDS, for a political or religious purpose. In most understandings of what terrorism is, it must involve illegal violence, usually linked to civilians and victims. This means that Hamas is not a terrorist organization but a resistance movement that even has the right to use violence. Israël, together with the US are the terrorists because the occupation is not a legal ground.

  3.  @solarplexusification  Agree. Moreover, the founding of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948 is a unilateral legal act without the consent of the local population. Subsequently, Ben Gurion's statement was followed with extreme force, making the whole thing seriously illegal.

  4.  @lindarushton6502  Let's be enlightend. There are bad and good things written in the Bible yet, that does not make it the Word of God. These books, including the Torah, were written by and for the jews themselves. There is no Word of God other than our conscience, no Chosen People and no Holy Land. The land was and is Palestinian territory in the Arab Middle East. All the Israelites must be moved to the United States because the Israelites have abused, during 75 years, the unique and dubious opportunity for their own state. They will never follow and obey the law, not even after 75 years. God did not speak to Abraham through the burning bush.

  5.  @lindarushton6502 My comment proves that Israel has no legal basis and is constituted unlawful. Are you a zionist? Shame on you.

  6. ​ @lindarushton6502  Tell that to your history professor, he will deny you access to class next time. And what is the difference between being colonized by Great Britain or by imperialist America? If you do not want to stay ignorant read: Jimmy Carter: Palestine, Peace not Apartheid; Shlomo Sand: The Invention of The jewish People and: How I Stopped Being a Jew; Rashid: The Hundred Year's War on Palestine; Yahya Sinwar, The Thorn and The Carnation; Ilan Pappe: The History of Modern Palestine; Dries van Agt: Palestine in Agony and A Cry for Justice.

  7.  @thealternative9580  This jewish illusion is nothing more than a religious obsession, imagination and a fantasy. The entire Middle East is Arab territory, so what can the jews expect?

The land was and is Palestinian territory in the Arab Middle East.

They will never follow and obey the law, they don't even respect the Ten Commandments.

  15. ​ @larinarozevich4869  Israelis have no right to security while occupying other people's land. Do I have to explain and motivate that? I will.

  17. The Arabs are Semites too. So what are these ignorant people talking about.

  18.  @annfrancis6287  The explanation can only be that the jews base their claim on religion and not on the law. Their religion says in the BIble that there is a promised land. There is no promised land because the Bible is written by the jews themselves, not by God. God does not write books.

  19.  @sun-9988  Youy mean the attack like on October 7? Is the ongoing illegal occupation not a terrorist attack?

  20. ​ @nuitsnight  What are you talking about? I don't see your logic. My question is what makes people say "for me as a Jew".? I never hear people say, "For me as a Buddhist, or Christian, or any religion." Read: Shlomo Sand, The Invention of the Jewish People. In my opinion we are talking about an obsession, a cult.

  26. It's easy for the American Government to send OTHER PEOPLES MONEY to Israel. What's wrong with them? I believe, although I do not always agree with Donald Trump, that he understands better that the American money must be spend for the Americans.

  27. Islam is far more civilised than Judaism and Christianity.

  31.  @IsabellaCastile-y8y  Let me tell you a secret that most people do not know. The word 'Israel' is a pseudonym for 'US military base in the Middle East'. That's why these huge amounts of money go to such a tiny little place. Without American funding there is no Israel.

  35. Israel has no right to exist on other people's land. This follows from the November 2nd 1917 Balfour Declartation. When you read the one page carefully. It states the conditions by the British Crown under which the refugee jews were allowed to live in Palestine. One of the conditions is “‘that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religeous rights of existing non-jewish communities in Palestine”. Consistently violated.
