There are not many antisemitic tropes worse than the suggestion that those illegal settlers and the colonial state that supports them represent all of the Jewish people.

Also, American Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is a deeply evil person. I suspect that he served under the W Bush administration, possibly under a pseudonym.

[color=rgba(var(--color-primary-base),1)]With All Eyes on Gaza, West Bank Palestinians Are Facing Unprecedented Violence[/color]

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/pod ... ef0ac20000

Since Hamas infiltrated Israel on October 7 and killed an estimated 1,200 people, Israel’s security forces have cracked down on Palestinian factions in West Bank cities. They have also detained a huge number of Palestinians and allowed settlers to threaten and attack West Bank residents without consequence.

Eight-year-old, Teen Shot Dead In West Bank: Palestinian Health Ministry

https://www.barrons.com/news/eight-year ... y-feb22079

The army added that it had carried out an overnight raid in the Jenin refugee camp in which it "killed two high-ranking terrorists", one of whom was wanted in connection with a pair of attacks that had left Israelis dead or injured.

Just for reference, Israel and the Apartheid regime of South Africa were both founded in 1948 as the United Kingdom -- bled white by World War II, which was on top of World War I and the Boer War, and probably a dozen or so minor wars that I don't really even know about -- decided that empire wasn't really in its interest, and withdrew many of its garrisons from around the world.

And the horrible, evil Apartheid regime of South Africa was opposed -- often with terrorism -- by groups representing the Black African majority of the country, and between 1948 and the fall of the regime in 1994, an estimated 21,000 people in total were killed in the conflict.

Meanwhile, Israel -- which avoided the Apartheid regime's problem of representing only a small minority of the population by ethnically cleansing their territory of most of it Arabs -- and the Palestinians, with a combined population of about one sixth of South Africa's, have seen probably 30,000 violent deaths in their conflict since 1948.

A decade or so ago I would not have said it, but given Israel's sabotage over the last 20 years of any sort of two state resolution to the conflict and its illegal colonization of the West Bank, I am now strongly of the opinion that Israel is worse than Apartheid South Africa in most regards.

I expect that most of the world -- and probably more importantly, most of the English-speaking world -- will come to share my opinion on that in the next few decades.

The Irish government have been stating these feelings since 1980. That's why it is being targeted. But we don't care. The guilt complex is not well developed there.

Higher mental functions are clearly also not well developed there, with very few exceptions. 
P.S. When are you meeting McGregor, Mr. sambo-Cuch-GPT?

For someone who trashes apartheid regimes the statement  "more importantly, most of the English-speaking world" should sound like a clear racist statement! You don't speak any other languages, arse-din which is not a problem by itself, but your stupidity is

I only train with real Dutch judokas who became world Sambo champions for fun. They win without the drugs/steroids that your Russian droogs take. Or by stealing and land grabs.

I know clear thinking and ability to express your thoughts are challenging for you. Are you saying Russian droogs stole and grabbed the land? Did you mean in Ukraine?

Do you acknowledge that our beloved apartheid fighter from Maryland made a racist statement?   Is it ambiguous? 
Let me spell it out for you, since you wouldn't get it on your own. The quoted statement highlighted above explicitly implies inferiority of the people who are not part of "English-speaking world". It's ironic to hear it from someone who is retarded as "arse-din".
