21% of Israeli citizens are Arab, show me the comparable in Saudi Arabia. There's no moral equivalence.

nonsense, the ideology is more than 100 years old and has changed very little. Look to yourself for blame, not others.

No, this is not "genocide", the population of both Gaza and the West Bank have increased dramatically, unlike what's happened in Syria, Yemen and Darfur. You are what you focus on, and it's apparently not universal human rights, but hatred for the "other"

phosphorous is sometimes used as a smoke screens, it is not used against humans and legal weapon.

@Dagestan.Warrior.Alpha_1 No, they did not, many reports come in all the time, this was not intentional ignorance, that's false.

@mas_khan9674 That's a poor argument. There's no intent to "end the race of Palestinian", but Hamas does intend to end the race of Jews, as stated in their charter and by the former leader of Hamas, Khaled Mashal, who coined the phrase, "From the River to the Sea". Gaza has 24km of Mediterranean Coastline, it could be a rich paradise, but the people are taught to hate and kill, even by the UNRWA run school system. Focus your eyes and heart of that.

@heatherlinnette189 21% of the Israeli population is Arab, are they then "the problem" too? What accounts for an 11-year civil war in Syria, the chaos in Lebanon, the suffering in Yemen or the genocide being committed by Arabs in Darfur.
10
by whose count, and what age range?
8
No occupation, not war crimes, none of these pronouncements have any meaning to nation/state sovereignty. No genocide, unless you include Darfur and Syria. No moral equivalence.

There are Jihadists on the West Bank and support for Hamas, example the bus stop killings just a week ago.

@heatherlinnette189 Are you saying the 1.6 million Arab citizens of Israel are not Palestinian?

@heatherlinnette189 FALSE": An Arab/Druze on the Supreme Court convicted and imprisoned former Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert. Israel is a secular, liberal democracy, but does have special religious laws to protect Jews and Muslims. Even the Temple Mount is controlled by the Islamic Waqf. Israel is a nation/state which welcomes diversity. Try to be Gay in Gaza, try to be a Jew on the West Bank or even Saudi Arabia. Why haven't the 1.6 million Arabs in Israel fled to Arab states?

@muhammedhisham8957 You mean like the ministry’s death toll from an explosion at al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City in mid-October?

@heatherlinnette189 'This is a genocide': Arab Israeli journalist in an emotional plea for unity. Lucy Aharish: "What Hamas is doing in the name of religion is not being a Muslim. This is being a monster." Lucy is an Arab/Muslim citizen of Israel and news anchor on television. Show me a Jew on al-Jazeera.

@mickeymouse8692 Phew, I am Jew and the fallacy about the Khazar conversion is totally bogus. Even so, the majority of Israeli citizens are old and new Yishuv. The first draft of the Israeli Declaration of Independence was written by a man born in Safed in the late 19th Century. The Ottomans wage genocide on both Jews and Christians for 400 years, Dhimmis.

@Maccabean2024 Yes, Israel even designed and built the al-Shira hospital, but without the tunnels. Almost 20,000 Gazans were coming into Israel on Oct 6th.

@heatherlinnette189 They did NOT live peacefully, that is nonsense. There were pogroms in the Galilee in the 18th Century, 100 years before Russian Zionists started coming in the mid-19th century. Read the story of Safed. The issue was migration, that's funny, and the money which came in during the British Mandate that the Arabs also came for but had little success getting. What "peace" was there in the 1920s between Ibn Saud and Sharif Hussein, or "peace" the Christian Armenians had in Turkey when they fled into Jerusalem in early 20th Century to escape genocide. The Arabs were traitors to the Ottomans in WW1, they fought with the British, and when they didn't like what the British did, they fought with the Nazis, when the Nazis lost, the hooked up with the Soviets and lost again. Choices have consequences.

Marxist claptrap of the oppressor and oppressed. "One Group" is code for the Oppressor, but perhaps Michael is unaware 21% of Israeli citizens are Arab, and that both Jordan and Egypt want nothing to do with Gaza or the West Bank, are they also groups with power with no accountability?

@heatherlinnette189 Here's a law, one that both Jews and Christians lived under for 400 years in the Ottoman Empire. Dhimmis.

@heatherlinnette189 "pretended", the blood libel, Habibi.

@heatherlinnette189 There are orthodox Jews who do not believe in the nation/state of Israel. Israel is only considered an "Apartheid State" by Western Marxists and Arabs who want to see an end to Israel as a homeland for the Jewish people. Do you know what is under the Dome of the Rock? It's Solomon's Temple, something Arafat said was a Zionist fantasy. Do you know how Mohammed got to that Rock? Is Jerusalem mentioned anywhere in the Qur'an? What is the plan for Jews in Tel-Aviv, a place Jews started building over 150 years ago. al-Jazeera is owned by Qatar, it is one voice, news in Jerusalem has many voices. Which place would you rather live?

@heatherlinnette189 This FACT before Zionism: "The Crimean War, which broke out in 1853 between the Ottoman Empire and Russia, contributed its share as well to the anarchic situation in nineteenth-century Palestine. The local Moslems regarded all Christian foreigners as a single entity so that they all, without exception, felt the effects of Moslem rage and fury at the drawn-out war between the Empire, which represented Islam, and a European power. There were increasing numbers of hostile acts against the German and American "infidels" in spite of the fact that the Ottoman struggle was specifically against the Russians."

@Independence4545 "Africa", never serious choice, just a discussion in 1903 and proposed by the British. "Seize Land", how? No weapons, no Army, no State. Facts are not important to you, only the war against Jews, Taqiyya, bibi, Taqiyya. "The Uganda Scheme was a proposal by British Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain to create a Jewish homeland in a portion of British East Africa. It was presented at the Sixth World Zionist Congress in Basel in 1903"

@Independence4545 130,000 stayed in 1948 and now number 1.6 million, 21% of the population, they serve of the Knesset, the Supreme Court and the IDF. The Druze are safer in Israel than anywhere else in the region. No question Armenians' picked up arms against the Jews in 1948. A poor choice of ally, history has proven that to be correct. The Arabs were traitors to the Ottomans by fighting with the British. The British hated the Jews but respected them. The British loved the Arabs but did not respect them. Both Jordan and Iraq were creations of the British Empire, given to their vassal/slaves Abdullah and Faisal Hussein. Ibn Saud at least fought for freedom and independence, the Hussein brothers were beggars with their hands out to the British. Your religious teachers have failed in their duty to teach you the truth.

You are misusing the word "anti-Semitism". Both Hebrew and Arabic are Semitic languages but not the same.

@_S_I_ This is a genocide': Arab Israeli journalist in an emotional plea for unity Lucy Aharish: "What Hamas is doing in the name of religion is not being a Muslim. This is being a monster." "This is a genocide," declared Lucy Aharish, the pioneering Arab Israeli news anchor, in an emotional address that has reverberated globally. Speaking on One World CNN in the wake of Saturday's terror attack by Hamas, Aharish, a Muslim Arab news presenter on mainstream Israeli television, shed light on the deep-seated pain and resilience within the country and the urgent need for accurate representation.

@_S_I_ There's a Bedouin Brigade in the IDF and an Arab/Zionist in the IDF, too. It is not every day that a Muslim Arab, comes to serve in the Israel Defense Forces. And he doesn’t only serve: Major Wahib, 32, is currently the highest ranking Muslim officer in the IDF. He is enormously patriotic, a true Zionist. Precisely the kind of person we like to see lighting the torches during the national Independence Day ceremony every year. Arab Israelis Are Joining the IDF in Growing Numbers NBC News Feb 26, 2017 — Wagdi Sarhan, the head of the minorities unit in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

@_S_I_ In America we have an ongoing debate over "American Values", some Americans believe we suffer from "systemic racism" and founded by Slave owners. It's an open debate, but don't mistake this conflict with all of us not identifying as Americans. It's dangerous for an Arab to identify as a Zionist in Israel. There's fear, just as there is in Gaza and the West Bank to speak out in support of Israel. The Palestinians have been in a perpetual state of war since 1948, even against its own people, as evidenced by the civil war in Jordan where the Prime Minister was assassinated by the PLO. Hamas threw members of Fatah off roofs in Gaza City, what sort of trusted peace partner could they ever be?

@mickeymouse8692 No, the majority of Jews are in Israel and the United States, the world-wide population is only 16.2 million. 8 million in the US and a little over 7 million in Israel. How many Arab countries are there?

@Hamzay-n9s Yes, the intent is in the Hamas charter and even the Qur'an. It's true, some call for a "Greater Israel" just as the other side calls for a "Greater Palestine". It is FALSE that Israel is "growing" in size each year. There are those in Israel who want peace and a two-State solution. Do you trust that aspiration on the part of some Israelis? Read this, you can google it and read the original online from 1921. "Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921." It's clear Jews have not been welcomed by Arab/Muslims for at least 200 years. That has not changed. Look at the history of the city of Safed. The majority of Jews in Israel are not European/Ashkenazi, are what some Arabs call "fake Jews", but both old and new Yishuv. The Nobel Prize winning author, John Steinbeck, had family members murdered, raped, and land destroyed by Arabs who hated them being there in 1853, 50 years before the bulk of Zionist immigration began. You can read that online in its original, too. I'm in California, my parents were born here in the early 1920s, my great-grand parents came to America from the Russian Pale of Settlement in the 1880s. Jews were an oppressed people with no right of citizenship and used as canon fodder by the Russian Army. Some did not fight against the Ottomans in the Crimean War but walked 1,000 miles to Yafo to start new communities. They were not welcome. More's the pity.
1
@Hamzay-n9s No, as the former head of Hamas recently stated, the killing of Gazans is a cleaver strategy by Hamas and they should keep doing it. Check out the full quote by Khaled Mashal. You can also read what the "Mandela" of Palestine writes, Marwan Barghouti. The children of the West have been lied to by Marx/Maoists in school, but the truth is coming out and the tide is turning away from the "Oppressed Indigenous" storyline, it's FALSE. Jews are more "indigenous" than what you call Palestinians. That is not even an Arabic word, there is no letter "P" or "P" sound in Arabic. It is an ancient Greek word which at root means "PALE", TO WRESTLE, which is the english translation of ISRAEL, to WRESTLE. Pale(stine, steen) refers to the 2nd Century BCE people and place of Israel, the JEWS. The Arabs stole that, too.

@thebeatcreeper I was born in California, both my parents were born in California in the early 1920s. Both my great-grandparents came to America in the 1880s. My grandfather travelled to Israel. I have not. The WEST is learning the word Taqiyya and Dhimmis, and the Library of Congress has this online. It's all there: Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress.

@jonnyquest1120 In 1997 Israel attempted to assassinate the head of Hamas, Khaled Msshal, hardly shows they created Hamas. Khaled survived the assassination attempt and says Oct 7th "creative" and okay if innocent civilians die, and keep drying, that is the Hamas strategy and why so many PR bots and news services like the BBC promoting Hamas storyline.

@jonnyquest1120 Israel "took" nothing, it was Jordan who grabbed the West Bank and Egypt who grabbed Gaza in 1948. Arabs are not 2nd class citizens in Israel, they serve on the Knesset, the Supreme Court and the IDF, making up 21% of Israeli population. Show me the comparable in the region. If you want a Muslim definition of 2nd Class citizen, check out Dhimmis, a 9th Century decree on how to treat non-Muslims, something both Jews and Christians lived with under Ottoman rule for 400 years.
