Urgh! He's such an inauthentic, snide little POS. Funny how you brought him back down to Earth by the end. Didn't add much to knowledge though, but then no-one knows what is actually going to happen now.

Since the horrors of October 7, the Middle East has undergone a stunning transformation. Iran’s proxy strategy has been dismantled: Hezbollah’s missile threat has been destroyed, Hamas has been reduced to guerilla tactics with much of its infrastructure obliterated, and Syria has been defanged with Assad overthrown.

In this new Middle East, normalization between Israel and the Gulf countries is paving the way for broader peace and opportunity. Hopefully, other former adversaries will join this historic shift.

Unfortunately, the rejectionist Palestinians are likely to squander this chance for progress, as they have for the past 75 years.

‘Rejectionist Palestinians’ is a grotesque insult to a people subjected to Genocide. Would anyone have characterized my Grandfather as ‘rejectionist’ for resisting as he was led to his death at Auchwitz? It reminds me of a line I heard recently: What does Netanyayu call Nazis? Answer: Amateurs.

Good for you Sera for speaking up to the unconscionable perspective Jaffee repeatedly expresses here in regard to the genocide Israel is caring out against the Palestinian people with the assistance of the US. Interesting that he defends Israel's position with no understanding of historical events in regard to how Israel came into being, or the the many atrocities committed by Israel against the Palestinians, like the NAKBA, or simply taking the land of another whom they saw as a land without a people. He makes the feeble attempt to defend genocide by comparing it to the attack by Hamas, and now to the Assad regime. Neither of which I am defending. His understanding of the Palestinian issue is infantile at best, and no doubt will remain so to protect him from the truth and let him hang on to his obvious prejudicial perspective, motivated by his own hate of a people which has always fueled the world's many atrocities.

How dare you call what Israel has done to defend itself “genocide” when we now see what true genocide looks like in the wake of Assad’s defeat and the opening of his prison system, where over 1.5 million people were taken prisoner and an estimated 20% killed. How dare you compare Israel’s self-defense to Hamas slaughtering 1,200 innocent people who were sleeping or attending a concert—a number that would have been much higher if Hamas had the opportunity to continue their murderous rampage.

The Palestinians have had opportunity after opportunity since before 1948 to establish their own country and have rejected every offer. This is why they remain the outcasts of the Arab world.

"any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

— Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article 2"

Looks like (a), (b) and (c) reflect what Israel is inflicting so yes it is genocide.

Hamas did not slaughter 1200 people, innocent or not. Ha'Aretz reported that the Israeli government admitted to killing many of those victims under the Hannibal directive. How many?

That we will only learn once the international community investigates. It was not in the interest of Hamas to kill Israelis. They wanted hostages. Israel needed bodies. The murder of Israeli citizens by Israeli forces was carried out in order to prevent the possibility of using them to trade for prisoners. Hamas were also accused of beheading babies and mutilating pregnant women, and playing football with their body parts. All of these charges were proven to be inventions. Let me ask you, politely, what kind of people would even think of lies such as these? What kind of people need to invent horrifying lies to reinforce their genocide? It's not only I who calls it genocide, it's most of the world, and to place yourself in that tiny minority does you no honor. To deny this genocide is in every way as immoral as denying the genocide that killed much of my family. I’m sorry, but I can’t engage any further with murderous, white supremacist, propaganda.

What I always found interesting is that Israel was forewarned of an impending attack by Hamas. They had their plans a year before and dismissed them, since they thought they were incapable of carrying them out. Egypt warned them days before, but they were ignored as were the young women monitoring Gaza and reported suspicious behavior by Hamas and reported it as well, and once again ignored. Interesting that no one was around for a good part of the day which allowed Hamas full reign. Even they were surprised, and on tape I heard one say that they thought it was going to be a suicide mission. I have little doubt that Netanyahu knew of the impending attack by Hamas as did his right wing brethren and they let it happen. They are going to investigate this issue they say, and I say sooner then later. It certainly gave Netanyahu the excuse he always wanted to remove the Palestinians and they were already taking over the West Bank, and one of the reasons Hamas gave for the attack.

It’s actually becoming increasingly hard to defend the idea that this was not a twisted sort of false flag operation. I say that with a heavy heart, as part of my childhood was spent in Jerusalem, a beautiful, ancient city which deserves better than Zionist corruption.

The atrocities committed by Hamas and Gaza-based attackers on October 7 were nothing short of horrific. On that day, terrorists launched a calculated and brutal assault on Israeli civilians, targeting men, women, and children in ways that defy the most basic standards of humanity. The violence included mass killings, kidnappings, and indiscriminate attacks on towns and neighborhoods. Reports of families being murdered in their homes, children witnessing their parents’ deaths, and innocent civilians being taken hostage reveal the sheer savagery of this assault. These acts were not just acts of war but acts of terror meant to instill fear and inflict maximum suffering.

To suggest that Israel bears any responsibility for these heinous actions is both false and morally repugnant. Such accusations serve only to deflect accountability from those who planned and executed these atrocities. Hamas’s actions were deliberate, premeditated, and entirely within the group’s control. Their leadership made the conscious decision to prioritize violence over diplomacy, terrorism over peace, and hatred over coexistence. Attempts to implicate Israel in these crimes—whether by blaming its policies or its existence—are an insult to the victims and a distortion of the truth.

It is critical to recognize that blaming the victim in such circumstances is a dangerous form of moral equivalence that emboldens terror organizations. Israel’s efforts to defend its citizens from ongoing threats are not only justified but necessary. The responsibility for October 7 lies solely with those who carried out and supported these barbaric acts. Any argument to the contrary undermines the principles of justice and humanity.

Shame on you.
