Hamas strike on Israel - Threadbans in op - mod warning in OP updated 19/10/23

Not quite, the proportion of those who made Aliyah from the MENA region is quite large.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah

In particular, 650,000 came from the Arab world and 70,000 came from Iran. At no time in Israel's history has the US been a large source of Jewish emigration to Israel. The Mizrahi influence remains strong.

Irish UN worker, working for World Central Kitchens murdered by Israel. Time for the government to get serious. Get the Occupied Territories Bill passed, kick out the poisonous ambassador and shun them.

30+ thousand dead in Gaza. Over half of them innocent children? Israel is a terrorist state and backed by the U.S who are up to their neck in it.

That's kind of a weird take. The Zionists wanted a Jewish state and so lots of Jews went there, from all over the world starting with WWII survivors and then MENA natives. I don't know what role MENA native Jews had in the founding of the State of Israel, however.

Ah yes was wondering why the thread blew up today.

Looks like with Bibi's pretext for genociding more Palestinians running out of both steam and international support he needed to piss on a hornet's nest to keep the protestors off his back calling for a new government.

Are people who reply with this just pure thick or on the wind up?

But Regina Gigantic Illness, Israel isn't a nuclear state… !

Doctors Without Borders attests that IDF murdered hospital staff point blank

https://www.mediaite.com/uk/doctor-says-idf-executed-medical-staff-point-blank-in-al-shifa-hospital-operation/

 “I am just shocked that we’re still having this conversation. They executed tens of people, point blank, including one of our colleagues, Dr. Ahmad Maqadmeh, who’s a very experienced plastic surgeon. Him and his mother, who’s also a physician. They executed people point blank. And including many of our who’ve been detained now, we haven’t heard back from them. Previous students of mine, detained, young doctors detained. We don’t know if they’re dead or alive. They have been gone for over 100 days. So, to say that this is a strategic targeting of Hamas is an insult to our intellect and our humanity. This is a destruction of people who heal. This is a direct targeting of healthcare workers. I just want to paint a very brief picture of what healthcare workers are telling me there: They’re saying that when they leave the hospital, civilians give them civilian clothing because wearing scrubs is sticking a target sticker on their back. That is how systematically healthcare has been targeted. And frankly, in the last 24 hours, what we’ve seen from Al-Shifa Hospital, what we’ve seen from Al-Aqsa Hospital, and what I worry is coming to the remaining hospitals of the Gaza Strip, because it has been the pattern and we will not ignore it, is a direct and systematic targeting of health care that is unjustifiable.”

I think this week may be the tipping point for that godforsaken regime and its dictator. The stories from the hospital, the bombing of the Iranian consulate and the murder of the aid workers.

It won't be. The American Government won't suspend military aid to Israel. The Israeli Government know it too. They would not have launched the attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria otherwise.

No doubt some posters on here will defend the Israeli attack on the consulate in Syria as a pre emptive attack in the name of self defense, yet they would be up in arms if another country applied the same doctrine to senior IDF figures. They'll probably excuse the killing of the aid workers on the basis that bad things happen in war . They might even try to pin the blame on Hamas. What they won't do is criticise the Israeli Army. If the IDF dropped a mini nuke on Gaza they would still find a way to excuse it somehow.

Jesus there is no end to how low Israel can go.

Vile SCUM.

"civilised" ?

Israel has legalised torture.

Despite being the occupying power over millions of Palestinians, it denies them even the basic protections of the geneva conventions.

It is steadily colonising the west bank, Arab east jerusalem and the golan, all of which are outside its legal borders.

It either assists or turns a blind eye to "settlers" violence against Palestinian farmers and Palestinians in general.
