This event has broken Ben's mind. I'll have to ditch, if he's on reporting about it again.
Modern history: 100 years ago, in 1923, Ze'ev Jabotinsky fully acknowledged that Zionism is colonialism, and that, based on the entirety of history, that the natives would fight it until the bitter end. He just didn't care what would happen to them, and promoted doing it anyway. Colonizers are never not the aggressors.
On top of the colonialist nature of Zionism, the Zionists also formed terrorist organizations, like the Irgun and Lehi. They bombed many Palestinian markets and other public places, murdering many civilians, including children, even including Palestinian Jews (who opposed Zionism). Israel merged those terrorists into the new nation's military and intelligence agencies. Israelis elected Menachem Begin, leader of the Irgun, child murderer, Jew murderer, and bomber of the King David Hotel, as PM. Israelis, to this day, celebrate those terrorists as "heroes". Zionists literally taught their neighbours that terrorism is a valid path to independence and statehood, and that terrorists are to be celebrated.
In 1945, it is well documented that Zionists owned just 5% of the land and were a majority nowhere. Israel was formed by actually going against the majority population. It's foundation is completely undemocratic. Then, becoming a majority, in "your" new nation, by ethnic cleansing the actual majority, and then claiming to be democratic, is utter nonsense.
Law: Israel is considered an occupier by the International Court, the UN GA, and the UN SC. Occupiers are also never not the aggressors. Those occupied actually have a right to resist occupation. On the flip side, it is illegal for the occupier to settle occupied lands, and illegal to use collective punishment. Israel is a rogue nation, that doesn't abide by international law. What it has been doing, and is doing now, is illegal.
Current events: This year, alone, prior to Oct 7 ... Israel held over 1200 Palestinian hostages without charges ... over 200 Palestinians had been killed by the IDF and settlers ... over 1000 Palestinians had been displaced by Israel's neverending colonization of the West Bank ... and, Israel continued to operate an open air WWII style fascist ghetto. Even ignoring modern history and law, in no reality did Hamas "start" anything. Ben is apparently cool with ignoring what was happening to Palestinians, and pretending everything started on Oct 7.
Actual Hamas supporter: Netanyahu promoted, and helped fund, Hamas, to weaken the Palestinian Authority, to avoid a potential peace, so he could continue his colonization project. This is very much like the US promoting and funding religious extremists in Afghanistan, and that ending up biting them in the ass. Plus, he was warned by Egypt and, instead of strengthening the Gaza border, he moved Gazan troops to the West Bank, to support his colonization. Almost like he wanted his pet terrorists to actually break through.
Ben would be blaming the Jewish underground for the Warsaw ghetto uprising, instead of the Nazis.

Ben, you are not being totally honest about the history. In 1923, Ze'ev Jabotinsky, fully acknowledged that Zionism is colonialism. Nothing is "fair and square" after that beginning. Ze'ev also predicted, based on historical native responses to colonialism, that the natives would fight against it, until the bitter end.
On top of the colonialist nature of Zionism, you left out that Israel, itself, was founded on terrorism, by groups like the Irgun and Lehi. That Israel, itself, elected terrorists, like Menachem Begin, who led the Irgun and bombed the King David Hotel. That Israel still celebrates those terrorists, as "heroes". Israel literally taught their neighbours that terrorism is a valid path to independence and statehood.
In the West Bank, Israel is basically using the blueprint for colonizing North America. Send out settlements into native territory, piss off the natives, the natives react violently, cry that the poor "innocent" settlers have been attacked by "savages", the cavalry comes in and puts down the native uprising, and eventually the border expands to include thisse settlements. Rinse and repeat.
In Gaza, Israel disgustingly operates an open air WWII style fascist ghetto. Only the fascists thought the Warsaw ghetto uprising was led by extremists. Only the fascsists considered all the WWII resistance movements (that sometimes targeted civilians) were "terrorists". Even the totally standard allied military sometimes intentionally targeted heavily populated civilian areas, like in Dresden, to end fascism.
Very similar to the earliest years of colonizing the Americas, the natives originally welcomed Zionists, under the Ottoman Empire. That welcome was worn out, as it became increasingly clear that the Zionists weren't simply moving in next door, like other refugees. They had organizations buying land, that could never again be sold to a non Jew. Those organizations also stopped letting any non Jews rent, or even work on said land. It very definitely became colonialism. The British investigated a number of Zionist settlements, and clearly described all this in a report.
Nothing "fair and square" has been going on, for 100 years.

Ben supports Likud.
Likud was founded by Menachem Begin, leader of the Irgun terrorist group, murderer of civilian Palestinian men, women, and children, murderer of Palestinian Jews (who didn't support Zionism), and bomber of the King David Hotel. Israelis elected that terrorist as their PM. Israelis still celebrate those terrorists, as "heroes", to this day.
Likud was also founded by Ariel Sharon, war criminal, who massacred Palestinian villages.
Likud's original platform, "between the sea and the Jordan" ...
"The Right of the Jewish People to the Land of Israel (Eretz Israel)
a. The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is eternal and indisputable and is linked with the right to security and peace; therefore, Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty."
There is zero indication that Likud, Netanyahu, isn't still working towards that goal, with the endless colonization of Palestine territories.
Ben is a supporter of terrorists, illegal colonizers, war criminals, occupiers, and the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. He's a disgusting piece of trash.

@mariem3429 It's a saying, dumb dumb, not always literal.
https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/shoot+first%2C+ask+questions+later
I'd also call whoever's job it was to do the job I wanted them to do. That has absolutely nothing to do with your blathering about them being "heroes" for taking risks. They take fewer risks than garbage collectors. Are you going to start calling garbage collectors "heroes", for the risks they take? There you go, assuming everyone they interact with is guilty, first, is how you get shooting first and asking questions later. They should be risking their lives more, by not assuming someone reaching for their wallet is reaching for a gun, not assuming something in someone's hand is a gun, not assuming a kid has a real gun or that he's planning to use it on you, etc., dimwit. That's cowardly, not brave.

For one, the IDF has its largest base in a shopping mall, cowardly hiding behind civilian human shields. And, the IDF has over 400k militants (reservists) amongst the populace, cowardly hiding behind human shields.
For another, yeah, there is something they can do ... just don't fire on civilians. We don't drop bombs on a bank hostage situation. We don't drop bombs on an urban gang hideout. We wouldn't drop a bomb on domestic terrorists, hold up in an apartment building, hospital, or whatnot. We don't do that, because we care about our own civilians or, at least, the authorities somewhat care about the optics. This is blatantly just not giving a crap about Palestinian lives.

@DemsJugglingLs Here, since you can't figure out how Google works ...
"Some examples of gag orders:
Police departments issue gag orders to protect the identity of victims, in particular minors, and also to keep information about ongoing investigations from becoming known when its release to the public could pose a threat to cases or the people involved.
A judge often issues a gag order to forbid anyone involved in a case from discussing it outside of the court.
A company might include gag orders in contracts associated with partnerships, employment and termination to protect trade secrets, intellectual property, sensitive information and, sometimes, the business’s reputation.
In the United States, gag orders are included with all national security letters (a type of subpoena issued by the FBI) to prevent the recipients from saying they received them.
In a settlement between parties in a legal dispute, a gag order against discussing issues related to the dispute may be part of the terms agreed upon."
... gag orders are used all the time, and aren't considered violations of free speech, or freedom of the press.

Even for those who were unskilled, the fallacy in their argument is that it implies enslavement was required, to provide whatever skills they're talking about. In reality, early colonial immigrants from Africa, that came over freely, before their rights were taken and slavery became law, adapted to the new world as well as anyone else. They either had the skills, or developed the skills, without them being forced on them. Just like poor Europeans, many of whom had been living in cities and had never been farmers, came over, were given land, and quickly developed the skills necessary to become farmers ... no force necessary. Slavery didn't provide anything other than pain and misery.

Rofl. Mueller actually provided hundreds of pages of evidence, showing collusion that didn't amount to criminal conspiracy. All it took was two lying words, "no collusion", from your cult leader, for the cultists to ignore hundreds of pages, and Mueller's own words that the report didn't absolve Trump. Mueller indicted 26 Russians and Russian companies. He indicted a bunch of Trump's staff. The report stated they only didn't indict Jr and Kushner, because it would be hard to prove they "willfully" broke the law, not because they didn't break the law.
Provide an ounce of evidence 2020 was rigged. If there was an ounce of evidence, FOX wouldn't have settled the defamation case against them. Same with all the other defamation cases. You cultists cried and cried about 60+ cases being tossed out, not getting a day in court, and when opportunity comes along ... nothing. All absolute bullshit. If there was a single ounce of evidence, all the insurrectionists could have proved they were the ones fighting to save democracy, not overthrow it ... nothing. All absolute bullshit. If there was a single ounce of evidence, Trump and co-defendants should be rushing into court to finally prove the election was stolen! Nope. Trump is stalling, and co-defendants are flipping and pleading guilty ... nothing. Absolute bullshit.
6 investigations into Hillary, while she was Trump's political opponent ... all found nothing to charge her with. More Republican and Trump bullshit. People forget, but Dumpty claimed that election was stolen too, claimed he actually won the popular vote. He set up his own election integrity commission, and they found ... nothing. Just pure bullshit out of Trump's mouth.
Trump and you cultist also started trying to imply Biden was a criminal, while he was Trump's 2020 opponent, and still haven't stopped while he's Trump's 2024 opponent. Still ... nothing. Just absolute bullshit from the Trumpty Dumpty cult.
Get it? Do you actually grasped the difference between evidence and no evidence? Trump is being charged, because there's actual evidence of crimes. Trump has been a criminal since he was in diapers, thanks to his tax dodging daddy. Fined for breaking laws many times, lost lawsuits for being a grifter, lost lawsuits for being a racist, lost divorces for being a cheater, ... you picked one of the biggest losers in the world, to be your cult leader.

@AntiFreezePeach So, a dictionary definition didn't help, either? Geez, not sure what to do here.
This is a very common thing, we humans do ... "He has the strength of Hercules!", "She's a Brainiac!", "He's quite the Romeo.", etc. Odd that you've never encountered it, before. But, considering how stupid you are, maybe you just didn't catch on.

@OPgamingstyle Maybe add a "from what I've seen" qualifier, if you don't want to be considered 🤪, in the future. Although, it still sounds a little 🤪, if you'd prefer young soldiers be called "sociopaths", have their taxes raised, have them get less of a vote, and have them be told they have no stake in the country ... over someone stating a rank they were, when they retired, and putting in for retirement, after 24 years, months before his unit was deployed.

@RaheemGostar You are such a brainwashed ignoramus. Dumpty had a trust fund, getting money for free. Plus, his dad put him, and his siblings, down as owners of properties and companies, to avoid his own taxes, making them all millionaires before kindergarten, and collecting salaries. When his casinos were failing, daddy also purchased over $3m in chips, and didn't cash them in ... for which, Dumpty and daddy were fined for gaming fraud. And these little loans, indicate Dumpty was so incompetent, that he no longer had the tens of millions he had received from daddy, or that he was so much in debt, that it blew through his monthly salary and allowance. His daddy also needed to co-sign his bank loans, so those were actually loans to daddy, which he was loaning to his son.
Not to mention the almost $200m he got when daddy died. If he robbed his siblings, even more. That he's possibly not even worth $1b, today, after being handed all that money, means he's incompetent (he was also fined $10.5m for improper bookkeeping at his casinos, so either incompetent or crooked).
The idiot stands outside courtrooms and "defends" himself from bank fraud, for undervaluing, by openly claiming he instead committed MASSIVE tax fraud, for undervaluing by over $1b. He's a complete and utter moron.

Get rid of Ben Gleib. Likud's bloody 100 year history ...
In 1923, 100 years ago, Ze'ev Jabotinsky wrote, The Iron Wall, and a follow up, The Ethics of The Iron Wall (sooo racist towards Africans), in which he fully acknowledged that post Balfour Zionsim was colonialism, and that, based on the entirety of history, the native Palestinian population would resist being colonized until the bitter end. He directly compared it to the colonization of North America. He promoted doing it anyway, claiming Zionist colonialism was a "just" colonialism (he also thought North American colonialists were good guys, so not a great judge of morality), not caring what that meant for the native population.
Ze'ev is important, because his Betar militant youth group helped found the Irgun terrorist group, along with other supporters of his, and the splinter Lehi terrorist group. The Irgun bombed numerous Palestinian markets and other public places, murdering many Palestinian civilians, including children, even including Palestinian Jews (who didn't support colonialist Zionsim).
The Irgun are important, because they ended up being led by future Likud PM, Menachem Begin, who bombed the King David Hotel. The King David Hotel was bombed because the British had raided the Jewish Agency and seized numerous documents that may have shown that the terrorists were working with the JA and Haganah (JA liked to pretend that they didn't support the terrorism). The British then stored those documents at their base, in the hotel. That the Irgun terrorists responded to a JA raid, itself seems to prove the connection. That the thousands of Irgun (and Lehi) terrorists were also quickly merged into the new nation's military (IDF) and intelligence (Mossad) agencies, and are still celebrated as "heroes" by Israelis, to this day, also seems to support total collaboration between the groups.
That other terrorist group mentioned, Lehi (also known as the Stern Gang), was considered even more extreme. They even tried to ally with the Nazis, against the British. Lehi ended up being led by Yitzhak Shamir, future Mossad agent, and another future Likud PM. They assassinated Lord Moyne, and others.
In 1945, there was a major land and peoples survey done in Palestine. It showed that the Zionists only owned about 5% of the total land, 20% of the arable land, and owned a majority in zero districts. The partition was not only going to be forced on the native Palestinian majority, but Jews were still going to be a minority, in the part allocated to them. The only possible way to even become a "Jewish state" was going to require getting rid of the actual majority (at least enough so that there'd be a solid Jewish majority, so they could fake being democratic).
This is also shown by the 1948, post Nakba, population of Israel. If there was 716,700 Jews, 156,000+ non-Jews, and approximately 700k non-Jews ethnically cleansed, that means the Jewish population, in the Zionist portion of partition, was originally over 100,000 less than the non-Jewish population. To believe that there was never any intent, by Zionists, to ethnically cleanse away the Palestinian majority would require believing that they never intended to create a "Jewish state". It's a nonsensical notion.
Begin, and those terrorist groups, also opposed partition, but for the opposite reason Palestinians did. Palestinians didn't want to be colonized, at all. The terrorists wanted to colonize it all. "Moderate" Zionists were okay with colonizing half ... for now (what would happen in the future, after partition, was up to them, said Ben-Gurion). The Zionist terrorists were also involved in massacres, and assassinations, during the partition violence (colonialist war against the natives).
Another notable future Likud PM, also started in the military, during the partition fighting. That was Ariel Sharon, war criminal, "Butcher of Beirut".
Menachem Begin, and these other Zionist terrorists, are important because they became involved in Israeli politics, first forming Herut. That was the party that Albert Einstein, and other prominent American Jews, opposed, having a letter printed in the NYT, in December of 1948, when Begin came to visit the US. The letter opened ...
"Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the "Freedom Party" (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine."
Herut merged with other extremist parties, over the years, and eventually became Likud, in the 70s. Now, people get upset over the slogan "From the river to the sea!", but it's the second part that's most important, "Palestine will be free!". Because "Palestine" isn't defined as an ethno-state, a free Palestine can be a single state, free for all to live in, and return to, free of continuing colonization, free of occupation, free of oppression, etc. Just like a Germany free of Nazism, an Italy free of fascism, a South Africa free of apartheid, or an America free of slavery from sea to shiny sea. It doesn't necessitate purging all the Jews. It just necessitates them giving up on the idea of an ethno-state.
On the other hand, because "Israel" has been defined as an ethno-state, Likud's, "between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty", has no possible good interpretation. It is a declaration of intent to completely colonize, and ethnically cleanse, all Palestine territories. Not only that, but it also claims that they have a "right" to all of the "Land of Israel" (biblical borders that don't mesh with archaeological reality), which is an open declaration of future wars, against Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and possibly even Iraq.
Likud platform ...
1977: "The Right of the Jewish People to the Land of Israel (Eretz Israel)
a. The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is eternal and indisputable and is linked with the right to security and peace; therefore, Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.
b. A plan which relinquishes parts of western Eretz Israel, undermines our right to the country, unavoidably leads to the establishment of a "Palestinian State," jeopardizes the security of the Jewish population, endangers the existence of the State of Israel. and frustrates any prospect of peace."
"Settlement
Settlement. both urban and rural. in all parts of the Land of Israel is the focal point of the Zionist effort to redeem the country, to maintain vital security areas and serves as a reservoir of strength and inspiration for the renewal of the pioneering spirit. The Likud government will call on the younger generation in Israel and the dispersions to settle and help every group and individual in the task of inhabiting and cultivating the wasteland, while taking care not to dispossess anyone."
1999: "The Government of Israel flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan river. The Palestinians can run their lives freely in the framework of self-rule, but not as an independent and sovereign state. Thus, for example, in matters of foreign affairs, security, immigration, and ecology, their activity shall be limited in accordance with imperatives of Israel's existence, security and national needs."
"The Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza are the realization of Zionist values. Settlement of the land is a clear expression of the unassailable right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel and constitutes an important asset in the defense of the vital interests of the State of Israel. The Likud will continue to strengthen and develop these communities and will prevent their uprooting."
All Palestine territories are officially considered occupied, by the International Court of Justice, the UN GA, the UN SC, and even in official documents of Israel's own allies. Likud is still using the blueprint for colonizing North America, in the West Bank. Move settlements out into native territory, piss off the natives, the natives retaliate, cry about poor "innocent" colonizing settlers being the "victims" of violent "Savages!", call in the cavalry to put down the native uprising, and eventually expand the borders to include those settlements. Rinse and repeat. In Gaza, Israel is operating an open air WWII style fascist ghetto. Them claiming a "right to defend themselves" would be like the Nazis claiming a "right to defend themselves " from the Warsaw ghetto uprising. There's no "war". That they're the occupiers means the "war" part is long over. Those people are actually supposed to be under the occupier's protection.
That partition was forced upon the Palestinian majority, against their will ... that the Zionist portion still had to be forcefully ethnically cleansed of its non-Jewish majority, against their will ... that the millions of occupied Palestinians don't have a say in the government that truly rules over them, Israel's ... means Israel is about as democratic as Nazi Germany after Hitler purged his political opponents and then held elections.

@nodi1217 Here's the difference, dumb dumb ...
A vaccine isn't simply personal protection. Vaccines work even better when more people have them. If you look at a chain of contact, with the 50% efficacy flu vaccine ... If you're a flu carrier, and I have the vaccine, I'm 50% protected. If, however, I come in contact with another vaccinated person, who came in contact with you, I'm 75% protected. If there was another vaccinated person in the chain, I'd be 87.5% protected. Another, and I'd be 93.75% protected. Etc. So, when it comes to vaccinations, you are making a decision that can affect others' health.
On the other hand, we all agree that a mindless (brain dead) meat sack of living cells, requiring life support, is no longer actually "alive". We pull plugs every day. Nobody forces people to keep their brain dead loved ones on life support, and force them to pay for it. But, the moronic "pro-life" crowd considers a mindless meat sack of living cells, requiring a woman's life support system, to actually be "alive". It doesn't even begin to develop the parts needed for consciousness, until 25-28 weeks. It's not yet "alive", and it should be totally up to the woman, if she wants to act as a life support system, because there's not another actual living being affected.
