      Zionism is different from Judaism. Righteous Jews DO NOT support Zionism.
      Palestinians, including Muslims, Christians, and Jews, lived in peace altogether before Zionism.
      Zionism was the cause of war in Palestine, and therefore responsible for all losses from both sides.
      Occupation, apartheid, and genocide are undeniable. Their inhumanity is crystal clear and very well documented by human rights organizations, some of which are Jewish Israeli.
      Israelis are occupier colonialists of Palestine, therefore due to the international law have no right to self-defense, let alone right to offense.

      Anti-Israeli government is not anti-Semitism. If I can recall right, Israel had been protesting against the Israeli government for ten months - before Oct.7, 2023 - because the Executive branch wanted to encroach on the Judiciary. The Israeli government, truly, has the most to gain from this Hamas-Palestinian civilians-Israeli government Massacre/ Genocide .. Nowadays, the Israeli government has violated the international law and basic human rights by killing children and civilians and committing ethnic cleansing. In the present context, Anti-Israeli government is more like, Anti-Genocide, yes? .. Oh, and if they can afford free healthcare and free education, I would say they can afford their own war crimes

Should Israel carry this cruel war to the end and start drilling for natural gas, the family of the British Foreign Minister Rishi Sunak will earn 60 billion from it. The destruction of Nordstream is very obviousely a part of the same plan as well as everything that happend since they knew that there is a fortune in the ground of the sea that will can make Israel become a global player ..!!

      *There are saheeh hadees reports which indicate that faith and goodness are greater in ash-Shaam(Greater Syria-Palastine) than in other lands.*
      It was narrated that Abu’d-Dardaa’ said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whilst I was sleeping, I saw the pillar of the Book being taken from beneath my head, and I thought that it was being taken away, so I followed it with my gaze, and it was taken to ash-Shaam. Verily faith, when tribulations come, will be in ash-Shaam.”
      Narrated by Imam Ahmad in al-Musnad (36/62); classed as saheeh by the commentators on al-Musnad.
      This is similar to the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him):
      “The heartland of the believers is ash-Shaam.”
      {Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (27/42)}
      It was narrated that Ibn Hawaalah said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “This matter will end with you becoming massed troops: troops in ash-Shaam, troops in Yemen, and troops in Iraq.”
      Ibn Hawaalah said: Choose for me, O Messenger of Allah, if I should live to see that.
      He said: “You should go to ash-Shaam, for it is Allah’s chosen land, to which He will gather His chosen slaves. But if you refuse, then go to Yemen and draw water from your ponds, for Allah has promised me that He will take care of ash-Shaam and its people.”
      {Narrated by Abu Daawood (2483).}
      This goodness will remain among them, if Allah wills, until the end of time, until Allah, may He be exalted, destroys the Dajjaal and his followers at their hands, when the Messiah ‘Eesaa ibn Maryam comes down and leads the believers in the fight against the Dajjaal.
      Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (r) said:
      The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) highlighted the distinct character of the people of ash-Shaam by noting that they will continue to comply with the commands of Allah until the end of time, and that the victorious group will remain among them until the end of time. This is speaking of an ongoing matter that will remain with them, that they will be numerous and strong.
      This description does not apply to anyone in the Muslim world except the people of ash-Shaam… knowledge and faith are still present in that land, and whoever fights in that land to support the faith will be victorious and will be granted divine help.
      End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (4/449).
      It was narrated that Abu Umaamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: O Prophet of Allah, what was the beginning of your affair? He said: “The prayer of my father Ibraaheem and the glad tidings of ‘Eesaa. My mother dreamt that there came out of her light by which the palaces of ash-Shaam were illuminated.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth as-Saheehah (1545).
      Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his Tafseer (1/444): The fact that ash-Shaam is singled out in conjunction with his light indicates that his religion and his teachings will abide in Bilaad ash-Shaam.
      Hence at the end of time, ash-Shaam and its people will be a stronghold for Islam, and in that land ‘Eesaa ibn Maryam will come down. (End quote.)
      With regard to the lack of religious commitment in some eras, this may happen for some wise purpose that Allah, may He be exalted, wills. But this does not cancel out the general principle.
      In some hadiths, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) indicated that the people of ash-Shaam may become corrupt, and if that happens, then its impact will affect the entire ummah.
      It was narrated from Mu‘aawiyah ibn Qurrah that his father said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “If the people of ash-Shaam become corrupt, then there is no goodness in you, but a group of my ummah will remain victorious, not harmed by those who let them down, until the Hour begins.”
      (Narrated by at-Tirmidhi (2192).

    I love John Mearshimer. Such an excellent point. Although barbaric, senseless and tragic as the attacks on October 7th that killed some 1,200 Israeli’s, Israel’s sovereignty as a state was never the least bit threatened and still has continued to not be. They keep using the terms Nazi, Holocaust, Genocide but the Jews are under no serious threat of ANY of these things by Hamas. They have a 3 billion dollar machine that intercepts their rockets from the middle of the sky. Hamas has no chance of actually eliminating Israel, regardless of however much they wish to. This is not an attack from a distant land. This is RESISTANCE.

There is a lot of incorrect information that was shared with the world following the 7 October incident. Fact, approximately 1200 people died, hostages were taken and Hamas broke through the Israel defence. However, what was reported by the Israeli government of the incident and what happened is widely debated by many scholars across the globe. Mark Ragev admitted in an interview with Mahedi Hassan that Israel thought 1400 people died originally but then they reduced that figure to 1200 when they found out that about 200 Hamas fighters were amongst the dead and burnt. Big question, who burnt the Hamas fighters? Also the claims about burnt babies in ovens have now been debunked.

      @@karmaakabane4516 that's not actually his argument but nice try. His argument was about the notion behind WHY Israel's bombing Gaza indiscriminately. In Israel's own words, they are doing so in order to eliminate Ham*s. Well the questions follows, why can't they eliminate Ham*s using a more controlled and tactical method? The Israel government would say they need to act fast because Ham*s would eradicate all of the Jewish people if they don't eliminate them first. Here John Mearsheimer challenged that reasoning about Ham*s having the capability to enact upon another hol*caust which they obviously don't. Hamas only advantage over the IDF is their knowledge of their terrain, obviously because that's their land, same thing happened in Afghanistan. Mr Mearsheimer is right, the reasoning is quite absurd because Israel the one that possess the military might, not Ham*s. Israel's just using those type of reasoning so they can continue to bomb Gaza to expel the Palestinian so they can have the land for themselves.

    Israel was given State status because of Western atrocities against Jews. Accordingly, it stands to reason that Palestinians surviving unprecedented (IDF & US sponsored) Humanitarian Crimes, DESERVE a internationally recognised State in their Homelands.

      The League of Nations recognized that Eretz Yisroel was the homeland of the Jewish People in 1922. Long before the Holocaust.
      The UN Resolution 181( The Partition Plan of 1947) offered both parties a state.
      The Arabs refused and chose war.
      In 2000 and 2008, Israel 🇮🇱 again offered the Arab leadership everything it wanted including East Jerusalem ( 2008) but again they refused.
      Could it be that the Arabs want to replace the Jewish State with a Arab state?

      They jail their own people for not joining the army, the loved ones of the hostages couldn't for weeks raise their voices out of fear of being jailed and tortured. As for the ones (locals, rabbis, doctors, journalists) speaking up for the Palestinians they are met with private and public humiliation, beatings, jail time and austricised from the community as a form of punishment. I'm sure if every Israeli was able to live a life at the other side of the wall they would know they are being lied to and they would empathize with their neighbours verses spew hatred.

      1200 of deliberate and evil murders! J
      His argument is weak. Yes, Israel is more powerful than Hamas/Palestinians but doesn’t mean they don’t have right to protect their own people/right to self defence. It’s like saying that because I’m richer, taller, more muscular, or whatever I should allow someone who is shorter, poorer and in bad shape to attack me because I’m “stronger” or more “powerful”. Makes no sense.
      There were two ceasefires already and it was Hamas who broke it 2x. It’s Hamas who put their own people at risk, it’s Hamas who is murdering their own people. It’s government’s responsibly to care for their people but Hamas sacrifices their own people for money and spread of anti-semitism and hatred.
      I’m not saying that Israeli government is perfect or that violent settlers are without fault. But it’s wrong to say that Palestinians are victims and Israelis are bad guys.

      I contend that there is common gross misconception regarding Israel’s rights over several territories, including the Gaza Strip, City of Jerusalem, and Judea and Samaria (also known as the West Bank) and regarding rights of Israeli citizens to inhabit these territories.
      Israel’s 1948 declaration of independence was based on the 1947 GA partition resolution 181(II).
      This resolution, not being under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, was not legally binding. Furthermore, it was outright rejected by the Arab League, rendering it null and void. The establishment of the State of Israel is based on the universal principle of international law known as 'uti possidetis juris,' which states that newly-formed sovereign states should retain the internal borders of their preceding dependent area before independence. In this case, it includes the borders of the British Mandate, encompassing the Gaza Strip, the City of Jerusalem, and the West Bank.
      This law has been applied numerous times in the last two centuries to provide a legal foundation for newly created states across the globe. In the Middle East, it was used in the creation of states such as Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. It is uniformly applicable in the case of the State of Israel's independence claim.
      As a result of the Arab invasion in 1948, the Gaza Strip, West Bank, and East Jerusalem were belligerently and illegally occupied by Egypt and Jordan according to international law. The Jewish population was ethnically cleansed, and Jewish cemeteries and synagogues were desecrated or destroyed. In the 1967 war, instigated by Egypt and Jordan, Israel re-claimed these territories.
      With the exception of the Golan Heights, Israel has never had the need or desire to expand its territory beyond the British Mandate for Palestine. On the contrary, Israel unilaterally left Gaza and entered into the Oslo Accords as a provisional treaty aimed at the creation of a Palestinian state on territories rightfully owned by Israel.
      I hope you now realize that you have been lied to about "illegal occupation of Palestinian land", "evil colonial settlers", etc. You have opportunity to research and, if you wish, rebut my statement.
      You are correct in saying that the conflict has deep religious roots. I am fully prepared to address your considerations in that area as well.

      I can quickly screenshot Hamas's charter to prove you otherwise.
      Article 13 There is no negotiated settlement possible. Jihad is the only answer.
      The Preamble to the 1988 Charter stated: ″Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam invalidates it, just as it invalidated others before it″.[citation needed] It emphasizes the importance of jihad for the Palestinian question, adding that "initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors."[45] The charter also states that Hamas is humanistic, and tolerant of other religions as long as they "stop disputing the sovereignty of Islam in this region".[46] The Charter adds that "renouncing any part of Palestine means renouncing part of the religion [of Islam]"
      The original, 1988 version of the charter emphasize four main themes:[47]
      Destroying Israel and establishing an Islamic theocracy in Palestine is essential;[47]
      Unrestrained jihad is necessary to achieve this;[47]
      Negotiated resolutions of Jewish and Palestinian claims to the land are unacceptable;[47]
      Historical anti-semitic tropes that reinforce the goals.[47]
      The Covenant proclaims that Israel will exist until Islam obliterates it, and jihad against Jews is required until Judgement Day. Compromise over the land is forbidden. The documents promote holy war as divinely ordained, reject political solutions, and call for instilling these views in children.[47]
      The updated 2017 charter appeared to moderate Hamas's position by stating that Hamas is anti-Zionist, but retains the goal of eliminating Israel.[47] Its claim that it is no longer antisemitic has been refuted numerous times due to the actions of Hamas as well as the statements of its leadership including Fathi Hamad who has publicly called for the killing of Jews

      *There are saheeh hadees reports which indicate that faith and goodness are greater in ash-Shaam(Greater Syria-Palastine) than in other lands.*
      It was narrated that Abu’d-Dardaa’ said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whilst I was sleeping, I saw the pillar of the Book being taken from beneath my head, and I thought that it was being taken away, so I followed it with my gaze, and it was taken to ash-Shaam. Verily faith, when tribulations come, will be in ash-Shaam.”
      Narrated by Imam Ahmad in al-Musnad (36/62); classed as saheeh by the commentators on al-Musnad.
      This is similar to the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him):
      “The heartland of the believers is ash-Shaam.”
      {Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (27/42)}
      It was narrated that Ibn Hawaalah said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “This matter will end with you becoming massed troops: troops in ash-Shaam, troops in Yemen, and troops in Iraq.”
      Ibn Hawaalah said: Choose for me, O Messenger of Allah, if I should live to see that.
      He said: “You should go to ash-Shaam, for it is Allah’s chosen land, to which He will gather His chosen slaves. But if you refuse, then go to Yemen and draw water from your ponds, for Allah has promised me that He will take care of ash-Shaam and its people.”
      {Narrated by Abu Daawood (2483).}
      This goodness will remain among them, if Allah wills, until the end of time, until Allah, may He be exalted, destroys the Dajjaal and his followers at their hands, when the Messiah ‘Eesaa ibn Maryam comes down and leads the believers in the fight against the Dajjaal.
      Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (r) said:
      The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) highlighted the distinct character of the people of ash-Shaam by noting that they will continue to comply with the commands of Allah until the end of time, and that the victorious group will remain among them until the end of time. This is speaking of an ongoing matter that will remain with them, that they will be numerous and strong.
      This description does not apply to anyone in the Muslim world except the people of ash-Shaam… knowledge and faith are still present in that land, and whoever fights in that land to support the faith will be victorious and will be granted divine help.
      End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (4/449).
      It was narrated that Abu Umaamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: O Prophet of Allah, what was the beginning of your affair? He said: “The prayer of my father Ibraaheem and the glad tidings of ‘Eesaa. My mother dreamt that there came out of her light by which the palaces of ash-Shaam were illuminated.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth as-Saheehah (1545).
      Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his Tafseer (1/444): The fact that ash-Shaam is singled out in conjunction with his light indicates that his religion and his teachings will abide in Bilaad ash-Shaam.
      Hence at the end of time, ash-Shaam and its people will be a stronghold for Islam, and in that land ‘Eesaa ibn Maryam will come down. (End quote.)
      With regard to the lack of religious commitment in some eras, this may happen for some wise purpose that Allah, may He be exalted, wills. But this does not cancel out the general principle.
      In some hadiths, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) indicated that the people of ash-Shaam may become corrupt, and if that happens, then its impact will affect the entire ummah.
      It was narrated from Mu‘aawiyah ibn Qurrah that his father said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “If the people of ash-Shaam become corrupt, then there is no goodness in you, but a group of my ummah will remain victorious, not harmed by those who let them down, until the Hour begins.”
      (Narrated by at-Tirmidhi (2192).

      Evidence:
      1) Hamas has a goal to eradicate all Jews. They were created out of hatred.
      2) Despite knowing that Israel is more powerful state with a history of ethnic cleansing they chose to use all the donations they have received for weapons, their own pockets and October 7th. Foolishly thinking that Israel won’t defend itself. But they are not foolish, they did it deliberately sacrificing their own people for clout, money and hatred.

      The first is like already in place, they rule those lands in practice, the only reason Gaza and the West Bank still are not part of Israel officially is because there are too many Arabs in them. Israel needs to drive them away first, otherwise there would be too many Israeli Arabs.

"They eliminated everyone, including the hostages," Porat said during her conversation with Israeli radio.
    Her account paints a picture where the hostages, instead of being rescued, were caught in a deadly crossfire instigated by the very forces meant to save them. The event turned from a potential rescue operation to an unfortunate catastrophe where lives from both sides were lost.
