  1. "resistance" to what? The legal nation/state of Israel. Jews fought for the land with the British against the Ottoman, just like the Arabs. Jews willing to share, Arabs, not so much.

  2. Turks have "brown skin?. LOL, you may want to check the skin color of the King and Queen of Jordan, too. Ever hear of the Mamluks?

  4. Israel does not have a king, it is not about "one man"

  5. African Nations support Palestine because of old Soviet era propaganda. Jews were always there, the majority of Israeli citizens are not "Western". The land was Ottoman/Muslim, should it go back to them?

  6.  @Patrick-y4d1z  Ukraine was part of Russian Empire before USSR, it was also once part of a Polish/Lithuanian Commonwealth. That's why it is often referred to historically as "The Ukraine".

  7.  @JoaquinCorreaDrums  John is a crazy conspiracy theorist. US AID to Israel comes in many, many forms, including loans, grants, and through the FMF. U.S. military assistance to Israel, primarily provided through Foreign Military Financing (FMF), often comes with certain conditions and stipulations. These conditions can vary depending on the administration, Congressional directives, and the specific nature of the assistance. Here are some key points about these conditions: 1. **End-Use Monitoring**: The U.S. government requires end-use monitoring to ensure that military equipment provided to Israel is used for its intended purposes and remains under U.S. control. 2. **Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)**: The U.S. and Israel have a long-standing MOU that outlines the terms and conditions of U.S. military aid. The most recent MOU, signed in 2016, is a ten-year agreement providing Israel with $38 billion in military aid. This MOU generally stipulates how the aid should be spent, such as purchasing American-made defense equipment and technology. 3. **Restrictions on Weapon Use**: There are often restrictions on how the weapons and equipment can be used. For example, the U.S. may place limits on the deployment of certain advanced systems or ensure they are not used in ways that could exacerbate regional conflicts. 4. **Human Rights Considerations**: Sometimes, conditions are tied to human rights considerations or international humanitarian law. This means that U.S. assistance can be subject to review based on Israel’s adherence to international norms and standards. 5. **Congressional Oversight**: Congress has a role in overseeing military aid and can impose additional conditions or restrictions through legislation or during the appropriations process. These conditions are designed to balance support for Israel with broader U.S. interests and values, including promoting stability in the Middle East and ensuring that aid aligns with American foreign policy goals. For the most current and detailed information, it's best to refer to recent Congressional records, official statements, or government reports.

  8.  @VAYLINN3309  One of the writers of the Israeli Declaration of Independence was born in Safed, his family had been there for 100s of years, there would have been more Jews there, but Islamic terror drove them out.

  9.  @VAYLINN3309  "kill a woman"? Was it intentional? I don't know much more than the West Bank and Gaza have been in perpetual war since at least Oslo. 14 June 2007 Hamas committed a military coup against PA/Fatah and UNRWA has been educating the youth of the region to kill Jews. UNRWA is sanctified "ownership" of the land, not me.

  10. The difference is intention. Sinwar accused of R@pe and T@rture by ICC Warrant, not Israel.
