I'm so tired of that absurdly stupid and childish thoroughly-debunked-yet-infinitely-recycled talking point.

On Israel's 60th Birthday, how about growing up a little closer to adulthood and taking responsibility for one's actions?

That said, I am glad there is a place in the world where people of the Jewish faith feel safe and can always go to. I don't agree with how she was created, but what's done is done and we must just concentrate on the best way to move forward for our client state.

so…

i was offered a seltzer water earlier today. the label had 'kosher' certified by rabbi j. h. ralbag, orthodox rabbinate.

why does carbonated water need to be certified? how would co2 into water be impure? does tap water need to be certified? is the nyc water system inspected by rabbis? does air need to be certified? who/ what pays for this "service". very little that is certified is enjoyed only by observing jews. most of this kosher stuff is bought by non jews.

i want a refund. i suspect much of that money finds its way to israel or into causes i care little to nothing for it.

there are at least 150 countries from which they left to which they may return.

"we must just concentrate on the best way to move forward for our client state." – neo….

correction neocognitism,

the usa is the client, obeying state.

Ethan Bronner is just a garden-variety neurotic Jew. A lying little putz who can't bear to hear that "The Jewish Homeland" is not the poor liitle victim, much less guilty of ethnic cleansing, mass murder, a whole litany of ongoing racist barbarism against its captive neighbors.

Those counntries aren't theirs anymore, just like Israel isn't the Palestinians' anymore.

Today I wish Israel a happy independence day and I wish for the Palestinians to have their own independence in Gaza and the West Bank as soon as possible.

I found it quite balanced and informative.

Similar to the statements by Lionpac, acknowledging that nakba occurred (which interpretation who knows), the Times article did describe that the nakba was a shared and valid experience, worthy of being known, NOT dismissed.

I find the exagerated and negative response to that reality (New York Times publishing without contempt on the front page of conflicts within Israeli society, and perspective) to be similar to Stokely Carmichael's calling Martin Luther King an "Uncle Tom".

Guess what. Martin Luther King and a hundred thousand assertive other "Uncle Toms" got Jim Crow overturned, and permanently.

Today I wish Israel a happy independence day and – Emmanuel

return and become a citizen. very easy for jews to do as many are doing.

today, i wish israel a painful and quick death.

For the record, almost 400,000 of the Palestinian refugees were expelled BEFORE any Arab soldier had 'attacked' Israel or the state of Israel was declared. The ethnic cleansing had started in 1947. To portray it as a counter-attack is too stupid to even hold logically, let alone factually.
