Morrad is training U.S. police - https://fpif.org/why-we-should-be-alarmed-that-israeli-forces-and-u-s-police-are-training-together/ "The Israeli forces mowing down unarmed Palestinian protesters also train U.S. police forces that brutalize communities of color." On Sacha Baron Cohen’s Col. Erran Morad another sign of Israel’s growing isolation @DeBakr: Also, no mention was made of the fact that the sun rose in the east on that day. Why mention the obvious? The protests were covered in a number of news outlets, no one reports that they were illegal or violent. What exactly is your point? On Palestinian flags wave in Tel Aviv @DeBakr: When South Africa had apartheid I hated South Africa, when apartheid was dismantled I stopped hating it. Farshtaist? On The real occupation is Zionism, Ahed Tamimi explains @DeBakr: With regards to your first question, "if the EU is so worried about Gaza why doesn’t it propose to send a force to open a port where full security inspections take place?", Israel won't let EU representatives in - hell, they do their best to prevent journalists finding out what's going on, they're going to let the EU in to build a port? This is from 2017 - "Israel prevents EU lawmakers from Gaza entry" https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-prevents-eu-lawmakers-from-gaza-entry/ Five European parliamentarians said Wednesday that Israeli authorities prevented them from entering the Gaza Strip. ..Similar delegations of European lawmakers have been barred from entering the Palestinian coastal enclave since 2011, the statement added, though a team led by the head of the European Parliament’s budget committee was allowed to visit once. With regard to your point B, the Zionists consider themselves refugees from the land of Herod over two thousand years ago. Why shouldn't the Palestinians consider themselves refugees from the land their grandfathers owned? On Israeli air forces pummel Gaza, killing pregnant Palestinian woman and her 18-month-old daughter @Jackdaw: The problem is explained in this article "Jewish Voice For Peace Urges Young Jews to Boycott Birthright Israel": https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/jewish-voice-for-peace-urges-young-jews-to-boycott-birthright-1.5447614 See if you can figure it out. On Pro-Israel student tour offers meeting with ‘Palestinian leaders’ between beer and settlements I hope you are right but I always remember the remark Nathan "The Only Language They Understand" Thrall made somewhere, who said that the Occupation could go on for another 50 years if the right kinds of pressure aren't applied. Unfortunately I don't see BDS taking off (yet) to the extent it could really make a difference, and while critical thinking about Israel seems to be increasing, I think it's overly optimistic to think we're reached some kind of inflection point. :-( On The way forward may be buried in the wall whoops, wrong link: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/28/opinion/sunday/mike-pence-holy-terror.html On ‘A very, very, very bad law’ — Justice Joubran on Israel’s new nation state law @amigo: Trump is working on the USA part. And if you think impeaching him will solve the problem, Pence will be worse: ('Would You Rather Have Mike Pence?") https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/31/opinion/letters/trump-pence.html On ‘A very, very, very bad law’ — Justice Joubran on Israel’s new nation state law @Peacedoc: "Hatred above compromise." For some time now groups of high-level Israeli military and security people have been putting forth plans to compromise and coexist with the Palestinians, for example Commanders For Israeli Security ( http://en.cis.org.il/ ) and Blue White Future. But the Israeli government can't do it - they want ALL the land, nothing less than the maximum will suffice. On They made the real estate section bloom @Mondonut: You're missing my point: the Jews expelled the inhabitants Palestine (multiple times - 48, 67 and right now) simply based on the idea that the area was their 'ancestral homeland'. So why shouldn't the Palestinians - especially the ones in Gaza who might live a few miles from their families former homes - have the same rights? It is, in fact, their ancestral homeland as well.
