Who knows but any excuse is an excuse


Those excuses have provided political cover for Palestinian leadership to remain in power with few elections, for 60 years. Those excuses have enabled Israel to take control of Jerusalem and grow recognized Israeli territory by two-thirds over the last 70 years. Those excuses have allowed for one of the smallest countries in the world to have outsized influence in international relations.

The common man will simply continue to be incensed and disturbed by the illustrations in the book without reading any of the words - and argue about how others lack "critical thinking skills." Because outrage is their excuse.

What about the Israeli gov't treatment of the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank?


Palestinian President Abbas says Hamas gave Israel ‘pretexts’ to attack Gaza

Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday said Hamas gave Israel an excuse to wage war on Gaza with its October 7 attack from the Palestinian territory.

“The military operation carried out by Hamas by a unilateral decision on that day, October 7, provided Israel with more pretexts and justifications to attack the Gaza Strip,” Abbas told an Arab League summit in Bahrain.

The 33rd Arab League summit kicked off Thursday in the Bahraini capital, Manama, where Arab leaders are gathered in a meeting dominated by the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

Addressing the summit, Abbas said that the Palestinian government has not received the financial support it had expected from international and regional partners.

“It has now become critical to activate the Arab safety net, to boost the resilience of our people and to enable the government to carry out its duties,” Abbas said.

Palestinian authority is the Palestinian arm of Israel.
Merely a puppet govt.
They are in control of west bank and there is always brutalized by Isreal. All the lands are confiscated. Even now they passed program to settle hundreds of acres of west bank territory, against un charters.
Palestinian authority shrugs and says 'meh'.

Goyim, The Hebrews were in bondage for 400 years in Egypt. And made to wander for 40 years after escape.

Zionists have spent 75 years stealing more and more for the Palestinians and have not stolen all yet.

These things take time.


What is differnt now, is people in the world see Israel for what it is and the hypocrisy of the western governments wrt human rights and justice.

Thsts a big change of world status just as American economic dominance is falling

So far it doesn't seem at least in Gaza that HAMAS treats the people any better than Isael does.

There's that whataboutism again
The people didn't revolt against their treatment by Hamas or the PA, they revolt against their treatment by the Israelis.
Why are 7000 Palestinians in Israeli prisons and only judged by military court instead of civil as Israelis are?
Why the settlements. Why the wall.
It is oppression under occupation.

If Israel treated the Palestinians better than Hamas did then there would be no Hamas


You continue to place no agency with Palestinians

Also I mentioned earlier in here I am pro two state at the 1967 borders and anti settlements in the West Bank. Apart from being land grabs the settlements made Oct 7th possible in no small part due to the deployment of all the regular non war time IDF Brigades to the West Bank to secure settlements.

Can you however point out a time when the Palestinians were willing to accept a two state solution? AFAIK in 2000 Ehud Barak offered essentially 1967 (97% of West Bank and all of Gaza plus East Jerusalem).
Arafat was like nah dawg.........2nd Intifada here we come!!!!!
https://time.com/6332127/israel-palesti ... hud-barak/

Clinton was outraged at Arafat
Arafat said no. Enraged, Clinton banged on the table and said: "You are leading your people and the region to a catastrophe." A formal Palestinian rejection of the proposals reached the Americans the next day. The summit sputtered on for a few days more but to all intents and purposes it was over.

Walls and military occupation are the result of no compromise. Can you name a better way to protect your people from assymetric warfare?
That camp David deal was the same conditions as we see in the west bank today.
Which is just a slower version of invading and occupying a country


I have some reading to do to see if what he is saying is true - though it's probably an over simplification of what took place

In related news, Isreal continues its mass killings of civilians in gaza, with no clear success against combatants.
They air striked a ' resistance fighter' in west bank.


In unrelated news, u don't hear anything about Iran or the need to target Iran much.

The strikes in Lebanon eased up, even as hesbolah pounding gallallee. Not hearing of any recent strikes in Syria and Iraq, and Yemen basically running things in the sea.


It seems like they trying to conserve assault weapons.

Rasoulof said Monday he had fled Iran after a court sentenced him to eight years in jail, of which five were due to be served, over his new film "The Seed of the Sacred Fig".

The leading Iranian film-maker, often a target of the country's authorities, told the Guardian in an interview published Friday that he had found shelter in Germany and was hopeful he could attend the film's Cannes premiere next week.

The film tells the story of a judge's struggles amid political unrest in Tehran.

Rasoulof told the UK newspaper that he had "no choice" but to leave, although he expects to return home "quite soon".

"My mission is to be able to convey the narratives of what is going on in Iran and the situation in which we are stuck as Iranians," said Rasoulof.

"This is something that I cannot do in prison.

"I have in mind the idea that I'll be back quite soon, but I think that's the case of all the Iranians who have left the country," he added.

Rasoulof has already served two terms in Iranian jails over previous films and had his passport withdrawn in 2017. ...

As opposed to the families of the hostages being bludgeoned by Isreali police fir protesting against netanyahu not dealing to get their release.

Or Palestinian rights activists being arrested and tortured by Israelis.

His feature The White Meadows (Keshtzarha-ye sepid) was released in 2009.[citation needed]

Goodbye (Be omid-e didar) premiered at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival in the section Un Certain Regard and won the prize for directing.[11] His film Manuscripts Don't Burn was also screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival[12] where it won the FIPRESCI Prize.[13] A Man of Integrity won the top prize in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017.[citation needed]

Former Israeli defense minister and war cabinet member Benny Gantz is demanding that the cabinet lays out a plan for the war against Hamas by June 8, threatening to withdraw from the government if his demands are not met. Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling (Ret.) weighs in on the ultimatum and what he thinks Netanyahu should do.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was openly questioned regarding post-war plans for the Gaza Strip by his own Defense Chief, who vowed to resist Israel's long-term military rule over the wrecked Palestinian enclave.

The us pier in gaza is operational.

The aid will be inspected by Isreal and loaded in Cyprus, shipped to gaza, offloaded onto smaller boats then shipped to the pier, then off loaded on the pier and loaded onto trucks.



Any more complicated and it would be like trini customs


All that activity is just a cover for installing petroleum equipment.

The crash site is only reachable by foot and the search has been called off for the night because of the bad weather. Things not looking rosy ATM.

The Foreign Minister also was in the heli.
