07.10.2025 19:59 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Are you basing your history on the bible?!
If so, you might like to look at the bit where the Canaanites refused payment from Abraham for burying Sarah in Hebron, because he was a man of God. My daughter's reading it for her bat mitzvah soon.
Who do you think converted to Christianity/Islam here?
...but apart from that, everything's great!
BTW, when you say "segregated society", is that official, as in apartheid? (Serious question)
You're right, 'twas a dog whistle (appropriately): Palestinians are generally descended from Jews who converted... and Jews were/are primarily descended from Canaanites. Like my dog, we're all Canaanites. Seeing that would solve much. But I am glad it pissed you off. What did you think it meant? π€

07.10.2025 19:39 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0There's someone here agreeing with your every word who called me a Nazi, a murderer & a racist, and celebrated a pogrom. You've also been very aggressive. As it happens, I spent years volunteering with human rights groups and/or researching the Occupation in the West Bank. So if you're upset, didums
07.10.2025 19:13 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Perhaps not, but you've said very similar things to the other person here, who certainly has also said anti-Semitic things... So perhaps you just seem guilty by association. If so, I apologize. Although, if that is the case, then perhaps you should look into the company you keep, at least in terms.
07.10.2025 18:01 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0You both said something very similar.
Anyway. I'm done. You're not having a conversation, just being abusive. I have better things to do, like taking my Canaanite dog for a walk along the Yarkon. TTFN.
As a veteran peacenik leftie Zionist Israeli (volunteered in the West Bank, campaigned for peace/against the Occupation), when times get darkβtoo often since Rabin was assassinated thirty years agoβall I have to do is write something political online and this kind of response renews my Zionism. ποΈ

I'm starting to get worried for you, because she called me Moshe, and if you're also her, then some serious help/intervention is required.
Moshe?
I think you may have me confused with your imaginary nemesis.

This taken just now as I arrive home from visiting my gran. She mentioned giving her necklace to my daughter. She'd worn it when they took her to the trains. There weren't enough trains that day.

We don't really care what the rest of the world thinks. We care about what we think of ourselves, hence the struggle for years to stop the extreme-right destroying the country. That struggle is part of the reason Hamas attacked two years ago: they thought we were divided.ποΈ

It's quite easy to tell from polls and based elections.

The UK has politically supported and/or sold arms to Ethiopia, Iraq, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Turkey... all at times when those states have oppressed minorities (or majorities), or worse committed atrocities.
I guess the UK is the root of all evil.
I was out demonstrating the other day for a ceasefire. There's 80% support in Israel for a ceasefire and has been for months. I think you have the wrong address.

Why is it that anti-Semites are so quick to call Jews Nazis, regardless of my politics. I'm really quite curious. Doth the lady protest too much?

Now that I've answered your question, sorry I'd missed it, perhaps you could answer one too: why is it that anti-Semites are so quick to call Jews Nazis, regardless of my politics. I'm really quite curious. Doth the lady protest too much?
Also, some of my family were murdered by actual Nazis.
Now that I've answered your question, sorry I'd missed it, perhaps you could answer mine.
Also, who do anti-Semites so quickly call Jews Nazis? It's also immediate, regardless of my politics. Why is that? Doth the last priest too much?
When the war's over, insha'Allah soon, will you be relieved or disappointed to find there's no genocide?
Also were you this vociferous about the Yazidis, Syria, Yemen, Dafur... all of which were/are many magnitudes bigger?
What of Syria?

Is there any conflict that you think is the responsibility of the "indigenous" people, as you so quaintly and patronisingly call them? Or do you think that brown people (and Serbs or Croats) have no agency and it's all down to the Jews?
Walla! Shukran!
