The portrayal of Israel as innocent victims of palestinian animals is absurd.

What was the Oct 7th attack if not terrorism?

It won't matter much either way because I suspect that this time Israel is going to take care of business once and for all, and when they're finished there won't be much left of Gaza, hamas, or any other terrorist groups who decide to get involved. And.... the US should stay out of it altogether.
 
If you look at the bottom of the signs You will see who provided the signs for the terrorist sympathizers at the capital palestine protest, you will find that they were supplied by the Socialist Workers Party. A far Left group that started out from USSR rule.

So in short, if you support Hamas and the sympathizers you are supporting Terrorists and Communism.
 
Again, i take no sides in this conflict, i think both GOVERNMENTS are to blame, but little things like this are indeed pesky truth if you have been following the region's history

“We Will Always Be There for Our Palestinian Brethren” Says Jordanian King – Who Refuses to Take in a Single Gazan Refugee​


Jordan claimed today it had succeeded in a “fearless” mission to air-drop aid to Gaza, only for the Israeli military to clarify the aid mission had been coordinated through it.

“Our fearless air force personnel air-dropped at midnight medical aid to the Jordanian field hospital in Gaza,” Jordanian King Abdullah II said early on Monday.

“This is our duty to aid our brothers and sisters injured in the war on Gaza. We will always be there for our Palestinian brethren.”

We see here propaganda in action. Jordan identifies Palestinians as “brethren” (Israelis are never “brethren”, of course) and falsely implies the aid was provided against the wishes of Israel and without its assistance, the better to make Israel look bad and Jordan look like it’s got the Gazans’ back.

But is this the same King Abdullah who has refused to take in a single Gazan refugee? Last month he said:

I think I can speak here on behalf of Jordan… but also our friends in Egypt: This is a red line… no refugees to Jordan and also no refugees to Egypt. This is a situation that has to be handled within Gaza and the West Bank. And you don’t have to do it on the shoulders of others.

Always be there – at a safe distance, dropped from a great height.

Jordan originally staked a claim to the whole land of Israel, of course, and annexed the West Bank in 1950 before losing it in 1967. And the Palestinians originally saw Jordan as an integral part of greater Palestine and fought to undermine the Hashemite state established by the British after World War One under its Mandate for Palestine. Palestinian claims on Jordan eventually came to an end after the 1970 ‘Black September‘ victory of Jordan over the Palestinian Liberation Organisation and the brutal driving out of the Palestinians from Jordan.

For some reason, though, this murky history is now largely forgotten, and the legitimacy of Jordan is universally accepted, while that of the Jewish state remains widely questioned. Now why could that be? Particularly as Israel has strived to include Gazans – before the war Israel had just issued thousands of new work permits – while Jordan’s border, like that of Egypt, has remained firmly shut.

“Always there.”
 
Lest we forget, The reason Hamas hit hard and heavy was the possibility of the Abraham Accord reducing Iran's pull in the middle east. This attack put that possible peace treaty to a screeching halt.

The blind who will not see. Have you wondered why 1/2 the population in the Gaza strip are children? How do you feel about children being taught math in this way? " If you have 10 Jews and you stab 7 how many Jews are left? Pure hate....pure Evil against children and of course in the name of religion...........

Under the Guise of War: Israel Government Restricts Rights of Israelis

Israel-Hamas War Update #3
efrat.substack.com efrat.substack.com

  1. The FOIA law
    10 days ago, the Israeli government asked to freeze the FOIA law due to the war, and extend the time period that gov institutions can respond to a FOIA from 4 to 7 months. Due to public pressure and many civilian objections, the new FOIA maximum response period was set on 5 instead of 4 months, giving the government an additional 1 month delay to respond to FOIAs. (References 1, 2)

  2. Live fire against Israeli protesters
    Also 10 days ago, the government started to advance regulation which was pushed by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir earlier this year, to allow police to use live fire against Israeli citizens who are blocking roads or entrances to towns during a “multi-front war”. I’ll say that again: police could open fire and shoot civilians’ legs if they block roads during war time.
    Under this regulation, police would only need approval from a senior officer before opening fire. The Attorney General, which initially agreed to fast-track the legislation and bring it to vote, retracted her agreement a few days later, due to public pressure and objections from politicians. So the Overton window has been opened, and finally this is not happening right now. This draconian measure could be brought back in the future, as happened before. (References 1, 2, 3)https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveb...esters-blocking-roads-during-multi-front-war/
  3. Freedom to protest
    In another extreme move to limit freedom of assembly and protest, the police chief said last week that they “don’t allow any demonstrations and would act to disperse them” threatening to send [protesters] to Gaza in buses.” But a day later, in light of widespread public criticism, the police took it back and announced: "Following various publications, Israel police considers the right to protest as a cornerstone of a democratic state. During the war, protests of any kind will be allowed in accordance with the law and compliance with the police and Home Front Command conditions”.
    We’ve seen something similar to this during Covid, the government tried to use its emergency powers under the enabling act to forbid people to protest, and they limited it at first to 100m from home, and then 1 km etc. Due to public resistance this was lifted and the freedom to protest was kept on the most part. (not without police violence, but that’s another story). My point here is that civilian resistance and non compliance works, we must not accept these draconian measures on our liberties, under any justification - war, virus, or end of the world climate change.

  • Incitement & conspiracy theories
    The Israeli police had set up a special task force to monitor speech online. This force, which was established in May 2023, has been operating on high speed since the war began: they’ve already imprisoned 103 suspects and 44 indictments have been filed in an expedited procedure against those who incite terrorism and express support for Hamas. Most of them were people who have shown support in Hamas terror actions or showed intention to harm others. The police taskforce is also working diligently to remove social media posts which are encouraging terror acts, about 1000 such posts have been removed already.
    In my opinion, while any incitement to violence and support of a terrorist organisation are wrong, dangerous and should be handled, the slippery slope is allowing this special police taskforce to threaten citizens who raise different opinions, I’ll explain where I see this slope:
    A week after the massacre, A police Sub-Commissioner released a deterrent note, referring to a number of Israelis who, since the beginning of the war, have been spreading “conspiracy theories” online hinting on an inside job, which he claims is “completely unfounded”. The sub-commissioner said those people are echoing Hamas or Iran conspiracy theories. “In cases where it is Israeli citizens who spread these fake theories, most of them are expected to soon find themselves in the police interrogation rooms. We will reach out to anyone who tries to harm the public's well being and safety by publishing such news or theories that the enemy is trying to echo in Israeli society.”
    This can be transformed into an amendment to the law or a new law, if they should choose to take it one step further.
    Remember, that such efficient handling of incitement, and such swift measures were NOT taken when people, including politicians and doctors incited against Israeli citizens during Covid. (References 1, 2, 3)
  • Agriculture aid & free speech
    Israeli agriculture is in a dire situation; While Israeli farmers are suffering from shortage of employees, evacuation from fields in borders proximity, or having to close their agriculture businesses or farms, the Israeli ministry of agriculture has opened a “war room” to monitor online posts and media reports against the ministry, which is related to “food security” in order to “fight” those who express criticism. Rather than helping the farmers in need, the government is seeking further control over speech and protection of its reputation.
    Two noteworthy developments:
    1- The Israeli public has shown wholehearted support for our local agriculture and farming. It's evident that people recognize the critical role it plays in securing our future, with many individuals volunteering for tasks such as picking, sorting, working in the fields, transportation, and trading of goods.
    2- Just yesterday, the Ministry of Agriculture announced significant aid, both financial and logistical, for our farmers. It appears that the heightened public awareness, robust support for our farmers, and mounting pressure on the authorities have compelled the ministry to step up and actively contribute. This showcases the remarkable power of civilian sovereignty.
  • Fight against terrorism bill
    This week the Knesset is expected to approve the “fight against terrorism” bill according to which the systematic and continuous consumption of Hamas and ISIS content will, under certain circumstances, constitute a criminal offence, punishable by one year in prison. Originally, this bill aimed to criminalise anyone who would passively consume this kind of content, even if they just consumed it and took no action - no incitement, no call to action nor support of Hamas. It is a "thoughts police bill" - for merely thinking something you can end up in jail.
    The association for human rights in Israel explains: “Following the public criticism of the bill’s original version, changes were introduced that slightly moderate its damage: the law in its new version requires additional external circumstances for criminalization, indicating identification with ISIS or Hamas, and the passive consumption of the publications is not enough. However, in the shadow of the ambiguity that surrounds many of the elements of the offence, which are subject to the interpretation of the authorities, it is highly doubtful whether this addition will reduce the harm inherent in the law and prevent the entanglement of innocent citizens with suspicions of terrorist offences.
    Despite the change, it is still a law that is unprecedented in democratic countries, and will have a chilling effect on freedom of expression. There is a gap between the extreme cases that bother the Shin Bet, and which the law is intended to prevent, and the language of the law, which could lead to hurting innocent citizens who have no intention of committing terrorism.” (Reference 1)
  • Biometric identification
    Another temporary provision that was approved for a strangely long period of one year, is related to biometric identification. In light of the terror acts on Oct. 7th, Israel was faced with the complex task of identifying a large number of victims - some of them were almost impossible to recognize, as well as obtaining a status on the missing and kidnapped Israelis. The government’s solution was to use the biometric database of Israeli citizens for this essential and urgent purpose, which includes transferring information from the biometric database in the Ministry of the Interior to the police, Shabak, Intelligence Agencies and the IDF.
    Dissidents to this provision questioned why it was necessary to create it in the first place, as there are currently procedures in the existing law regarding information requests to security agencies. It was mentioned that this provision is essentially establishing a parallel, or even bypassing, mechanism to the court and to the existing law. Furthermore, it is not limited to the tasks of identifying bodies and missing persons, but rather it allows security agencies to demand, receive and possess biometric identification data of a living person, who is not necessarily missing or suspected of being dead.     (Reference 1)

The fact is "terrorism" does have an actual definition but now it seems to be used to villify enemies for propaganda use and to justify war crimes, disproportionate response, and genocide.
Torture is torture. It isnt terrorism. Killing people by beheading may be more cold blooded than dropping bombs, but it isnt terrorism. Both Israel and the US media have used "terrorism" to justify indiscriminate killing of Palestinian civilians, which is an accurate description of virtually everyone killed by their bombs. Hamas militants make up a tiny percentage of Gaza residents.

Perfect example. By labelling the opposition as terrorists, theyve justified criminalizing any criticism or opposition to their own agenda and war crimes.

Israel would behave a lot differently if it didn't have U.S. bombs and weapons and the support of our government.

I don't care about how they are responding, I only care about how it's being supported by us.

Not good for things here at home.

The tunnels under the city are there mostly to smuggle in food and supplies, not weapons.

Haven't heard much about ukraine lately.?

Its like we learned nothing at all from 9/11, and this time bidens open border will give them plenty of opportunities. If it wasnt so absurd we could accuse democrats of trying to destroy America.

Pretty sure we arent gonna by the time russia absorbs it. Russia wasnt gonna lose it was just gonna take time. Not that I like the conclusion but it is what it is, and our foolish dumping of billions in aid surely just increased and prolonged the suffering.

Grizz, do you think this will cause the Gazans to have a change of heart and to begin to start loving their Israeli neighbors?

Do you think israelis are indoctrinated in love and exempt from being racist, and hating Muslims?

America first grizz. Our support for the israelis is going to cause ruin here at home. It's going to lead to terrorist attacks in which the same wealthy class of people who support Israel will use an excuse to curb our rights and freedoms here at home and which will result in a drastic decline in quality of life.
