Comments by "Sandy Tatham" (@sandytatham3592) on "Campaign sounds alarm over Israeli ruling allowing eviction of 1,000 Palestinians" video.
Sorry to sound harsh, but do you still think they care about this cause?

I agree. I've got friends who were longterm renters in a very dilapidated area of Downtown Cairo which was slated for redevelopment. They were 'relocated' to an outer suburb. They hated being moved, but where was the press and outrage about that? When Saudi displaces people from Jeddah slum areas, who cares? Why is #Israel held to a different standard?

Maybe God-Yahweh is on the side of the Jews? How many times have the Arabs tried to wipe them off their historic homeland of Israel and failed?

I know whose side God is on... and it's not the side of the Arabs.

@greenplanet7767 : I don't need to "know God". I just look at how many wars have been fought over 'historic Palestine' in the last 110 years and see which side God has favoured. First off, World War One when the Ottoman Caliphate joined Germany in its war of aggression against the British French & Allies, and LOST in 1918. Then five Arab nations waged a war of aggression against the new state of Israel, and LOST in 1948. Then there was a series of wars waged against Israel by neighbouring Arab nations, and each was LOST or a peace treaty reached. You can draw your own conclusions as to which side God is on. Wars have consequences and the losers don't get to call the shots, especially when they were the aggressors.

Yes we do hear what happens in Ukraine because Ukraine is IN the West. What about the Arab world? Are they plastering the Masafer Yatta evictions all over their media? Do you know that evictions from illegal dwellings happens regularly in countries like Saudi and Egypt? But you probably don't make a fuss about those evictions because it doesn't involve the Jews. #Hypocrisy

When slum dwellings and illegal structures are pulled down and masses of 'displaced' people relocated in cities like Cairo and Jeddah, no-one says a thing. Why is Israel so often held to a different standard?
