Can you be critical of Israeli government policy without being anti-Semitic?

Islam needs to remove the small but loud hateful part of their religion before acceptance and peace around the world can happen. If the crazy Christians can do it so can they.
I think there needs to be much more than eliminating Hamas from the earth. The current conditions will produce the replacement nearly immediately. There are many common threads that lead to people joining terrorist groups, criminal gangs, violent football supporters groups etc. Unless conditions change and people grow up with hope, there will just be more terrorists to fill the shoes and pick up the gun of the last dead terrorist.

Aren't there almost as many/more Jewish people in the United States as there are in Israel?

Is Jewish culture being eliminated in the United States? Frankly it seems safer there than in Israel.

The idea of ethnicities "deserving" nations needs to die. Should African Americans strive to have their own nation? Remember how well this worked out when the Afrikaners tried it? It's been a recipe for disaster and cause of violence, unrest and oppression basically everywhere it's been tried. Can we just stop?

A good summary of the propaganda from the west that has since been debunked.

Speaking of media, where has Omar Sachedina been all week? This is a huge story and it seems strange the chief anchor of CTV is not in the chair in Toronto or Israel. Maybe on holidays?

I really like CTV’s coverage. For my mental well being I have had to reduce the hours on line or watching cable news.

You are trusting Al Jazeera as a reliable news source? They are funded by Qatar where I suspect many Hamas leader are. That’s another issue for Israel. The Hamas ####ers who planned this are likely not in a Gaza. Spread out in Qatar, Lebanon, Syria and Iran.

While I don’t disagree the deserving part, at the end of the day Israel exists and has a strong military. They are not going anywhere anytime soon. Palestinians are going to have to get over that. Much like it’s always been the countries with the strongest military and economies are going to out survive the poorer and weaker ones. I think what we are seeing in Ukraine and now Gaza proves the point that humanity has not progressed as much as we had thought. We were lucky to have peace for decades but these wars are showing nothing has changed.

The DW News channel on Youtube is a good source for broadcast news coverage of the conflict.

Israel can continue to exist. There is a lot of good there. I just think they need to let go of the "state for Jews" thing. There are Arabs, Christians and all sorts of other non-Jews there, and they all seem to get along decently for the most part. Israel should be for those people too.

This means shunning the wacko Zionists, and prosecuting their activities. This means embracing mixed communities instead of what the Settlers are trying to do. Arab kids and Jewish kids etc. all need to go to school and play together to grow up learning that the other group isn't some faceless homogenous evil, but in fact just a bunch of humans.

Never will happen, living in another reality. Palestinians would ensure that the Jews would be gone. Unreal some of the cognitive dissonance and lack of understanding here. Only state in the middle east where minorities have rights is in Israel. Every Arab state kicked out their Jewish community in the 20th century. No point in trying to explain this to some but the Arab Islamic world will nevet allow Jews to live freely in a society they control. Nice idea but never will happen in reality.

You must be confused. I’ve called Hamas a terrorist organization repeatedly and haven’t justified anything they’ve done.

You’re the guy who called Palestinian civilians animals and said they deserved what was coming to them, right?
