"The International Day in memory of the victims of the Holocaust is thus a day on which we must reassert our commitment to human rights. [...] We must also go beyond remembrance, and make sure that new generations know this history. We must apply the lessons of the Holocaust to today's world. And we must do our utmost so that all peoples may enjoy the protection and rights for which the United Nations stands." Message by Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon
Haven't heard it said that April 24 is the Day of Memory of the Armenian genocide - perpetrated by Turks in 1915. From 1970s officially commemorated at the US Congress.
Never again i stand with Israel the people of the Lord Jesus...my Lord Jesus Israel did not start this evil confrontation, Israel remember the pledge of Masada, be strong and courageous and do what you have to do , your enemies , have no conscious or fear of God
In 1948, militias and later the Israeli army expelled 700,000 Palestinians and razed to the ground over 500 towns and villages. One enduring talking point often employed when discussing the depopulation of Palestinian villages is that the Palestinians voluntarily evacuated their communities at the request of the invading Arab armies. It is not difficult to see the allure of such a claim for Israel. In one stroke it clears itself completely of any blame for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and transfers that responsibility onto the Palestinians themselves, not to mention the neighboring Arab countries. Alluring as it may be, unfortunately for Israel, it is a myth with little basis in reality. Let us review the evidence: First, we must consider the magnitude of the Arab League or the Arab Higher Command evacuating an entire people. We are talking about hundreds of thousands of people living in hundreds of communities from the Jalil to the Naqab. This is by no means a simple or brief task. It is very difficult to imagine an order of such scale not leaving behind a trace of some sort. There must have been some mention -even if in passing- of the orders telling the Palestinians to leave. Furthermore, orders such as these do not materialize suddenly, there must have been a preceding process where the decision was taken. These meetings or debates would surely be reflected in some minutes somewhere, right? The answer is a resounding “no”, because no decision of the sort ever came from these sources. Historian Walid Al-Khalidi reviewed every press release of the Arab league, where every critical announcement was made without a trace of such orders. Not content with official pronouncements, he then examined the minutes of the meetings of the Arab League General Assembly from the relevant periods, there was still no trace of an evacuation order. Determined to be as thorough as possible, he then went through the minutes of the Iraqi Parliamentary Committee which was formed after the 1948 war to report to King Faisal on the causes of the Arab defeat. Once again, zero evidence was found to suggest such orders existed.
@StoicWisdoms @michaelwiebe4282 Hamas is NOT an ideological offspring of the Egyptian brotherhood. Hamas was formed as an offshoot of the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, NOT the Egyptian brotherhood. Don't talk BS. Hamas was founded by Palestinian imam and activist Ahmed Yassin in 1987, after the outbreak of the First Intifada against the Israeli occupation. It emerged from his 1973 Mujama al-Islamiya Islamic charity affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood. Both Egypt and Israel have blockaded Gaza since 2007 when Hamas militarily seized control of Gaza in The Battle of Gaza (600 dead). Egypt flooded smuggling tunnels into Gaza in 2013, 2015 and 2017.

Palestinians are so sweet and innocent and yet they cheer when Israelis die and they root for Hamas.
Did Israelis elect a leader who had a poster of a man who killed 29 people in a Hebron mosque? Itmar Ben-Gvir look up the poster he had in his home.
Israel put into jail a teenager for refusing joining IDF. Israel militarized its citizens to become terrorist
What wrong with cheering when the enemy dies, didn’t Jews cheer when the Germans lost the war?
I love this guy! Such an intelligent, open-minded Arab guy!

a. The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is eternal and indisputable and is linked with the right to security and peace; therefore, Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; BETWEEN THE SEA AND THE JORDAN THERE WILL ONLY ISRAELI SOVEREIGNTY
b. A plan which relinquishes parts of western Eretz Israel, undermines our right to the country, unavoidably leads to the establishment of a "Palestinian State," jeopardizes the security of the Jewish population, endangers the existence of the State of Israel. and frustrates any prospect of peace
Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, who was the Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s. Segev later told a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a “counterweight” to the secularists and leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat (who himself referred to Hamas as “a creature of Israel.”)
“The Israeli government gave me a budget,” the retired brigadier general confessed, “and the military government gives to the mosques.”
“Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation,” Avner Cohen, a former Israeli religious affairs official who worked in Gaza for more than two decades, told the Wall Street Journal in 2009. Back in the mid-1980s, Cohen even wrote an official report to his superiors warning them not to play divide-and-rule in the Occupied Territories, by backing Palestinian Islamists against Palestinian secularists. “I … suggest focusing our efforts on finding ways to break up this monster before this reality jumps in our face,” he wrote.

A direct line runs between the judicial overhaul and the Gaza war. Netanyahu should emulate Begin and go, but we can’t expect introspection from him. The future inquiry must invrstigate how much time the prime minister devoted to the reform - and how much listening to the military leadership

"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas … This is part of our strategy - to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”
March 2019, Netanyahu told his Likud colleagues the above.
