The nepotism part?

[GullFoss]

The part where he isn't just surrounding himself with wankers with the position that "Israel has the right to defend itself [ by killing 40,000-200,000 Palestinians, 60%-70% of whom are women and children]"

[Fuzz]

So he got in on merit, and not the nepotism thing? Must be very qualified.

A Lebanese-born Christian businessman who has lived in Texas since he was teenager who also happens to be in Trumps extended family. Not that it disqualifies him or anything, but it doesn't automatically qualify him either. He has a lot of business and personal political interest over there which could be perceived as a conflict of interest when advising on policy.

3. I believe Jews have a right to their ancestral homeland and it's never been more important than now (given the points I've eluded to before)
4. Israelis deserve to be safe in their country

No, you cannot add that. You can only substitute. If you give Palestinians their ancestral homeland you are taking it away from Jews. And it would compromise Israeli safety to import a Palestinian population that elects government who want to wipe them out.

Anyone attending the real estate seminars where they're selling condos in Gaza? Seems like you could get a real good deal on rubbled land... and so close to the sea!

Buy low sell high, i always say.

Israel couldn't hold back for even a week after the cease fire.

TYRE, Lebanon (AP) — Israeli jets Sunday launched an airstrike over a southern Lebanese border village, while troops shelled other border towns and villages still under Israeli control, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported.

The attacks come days after a US-brokered#ceasefire agreement#between Israel and Hezbollah went into effect. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Probably some aid workers they haven't killed yet. Gotta get 'em all!

So when the Israeli government comes in and takes land in Gaza and cleanses out the previous inhabitants, do they just issue new property titles to the new settlers?

Or do they forge signatures on the old ones and pass along the title 'officially' kinda like how Countrywide robosigned all those mortgages years ago?

At least 20 killed in strike on 'humanitarian zone' in southern Gaza
https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/gaza-m...rael-1.7402036

Some 20 Palestinians were killed Thursday in an Israeli strike that set ablaze tents sheltering displaced families in a designated humanitarian zone in southern Gaza.

Residents carried a body wrapped in carpets out of the charred wreckage of the makeshift shelters in Mawasi, near the beach west of Khan Younis, where tens of thousands of people have sheltered in the crowded tent camp for months.

The tent camp was designated a humanitarian zone by Israeli authorities, who have long told Palestinians to go there for safety.

Silly Israel, mistaking humanitarian zone for Hamas zone.

Easy mistake, anyone could've made it as well. And they're not even human so who cares in the end?

You would have thought that the IDF would have learned that you can't really know who you will be killing when you bomb places, from this event.

"At the time of the strike, the military had no information, not even a suspicion, that the hostages were in the underground compound or its vicinity," the IDF said in a statement about the investigation into the hostages' deaths.

"Had such information been available, the strike would not have been carried out."
The statement said it was "highly probable that their deaths were related to the strike near the location where they were held," although the precise circumstances were still not clear.

The military said the airstrike occurred in February, while the bodies of the hostages were recovered in late August.

But perhaps they were too busy focusing on other issues, like genocide.

A new report from Amnesty International found that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in its nearly 14-month-long campaign in Gaza that has killed more than 44,000 people and displaced most of the enclave's population.

Ah, Amnesty International, bunch of anti-semites calling out Israel like that. Can't they defend themselves from 5 year olds in peace?

But in a sign of the potential danger Israel feels from unknown rulers in Damascus, Netanyahu said that he had ordered the military to seize the buffer zone that separates the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights from the rest of Syria.

Wow, who could have seen this coming? Israel seizing an opportunity to illegally steal land? No one could have predicted this! But obviously it’s just Israel exercising their right to defend themselves. You need a buffer for your buffer, and if possible, buffers for the buffer to your buffer.

[Fuzz]

I think it's probably best we turn the whole region over Israel to manage.

I’ve been told they are the only “free democracy” in the Middle East, so that means they’re the good guys, right?? Surely a free democracy like that wouldn’t infringe on people’s sovereignty for their own gain.

Israel is there to enforce the buffer zone as there is serious instability in the region. They will certainly stay there until the government and people decide peace with Israel is better than fighting Israel. Based on the history of Israel watching their enemies militarize regions until Israel is attacked, we shouldn't blame them for stepping in and preventing bad ideas from regional players.

I know you are aware of this but still post whatever anti Israel nonsense you can dream up. How many deaths in Syria were you silent for?

The Syrian army abandoned its posts near the border with Israel that had been in place for decades to enforce the 1974 separation agreement. So Bibi ordered the IDF to take up those positions until new security arrangements are in place.

Why do you see the need to deliberately spread misinformation?

Golan Heights was already a buffer zone. Israel is ripping up their agreement with Syria and now illegally occupying land that isn’t theirs because they apparently need a buffer for their buffer (or are just land grabbing colonizers). I know you are aware of this but still post whatever pro-murdering Zionist BS you can dream up. To you, Israel could take over the entire world and you would still cry that it’s because Israel needs to defend itself against enemies in the region.

Who says I was silent for the deaths in Syria? Feel free to share your contact info, I’ll make sure I involve you any time I speak out about human rights violations, whether they’re perpetrated by the murderers in the IDF or otherwise.

It is pretty obvious why the usual suspects make post after post with glaringly obvious lies about Israel.

Just remember the million dead in Syria while they were silent. They will continue cheering on Russia and Iran and condemning Israel, repeating lies from Tik Tok.
