On 10 July 2025, I appeared on “Judging Freedom.” The Judge and I talked about: the the close relationship between Netanyahu and Trump (3 visits to the White House in the first 6 months of the administration); Israel’s admission that Iran still has enriched uranium after the 12-day war; and the fact that Trump is looking more and more like Biden, not only on Ukraine, but on the Gaza genocide as well.
In my opinion this interview is further evidence that the top political leaders in the United States should have been taking John Mearsheimer’s advice for the past few decades. The fact that we foolishly didn’t take his advice is in large part why the world is in such a mess.
This leads to the fact that I think that most people who are aware of exponentially increasing capacity of AI are coming to the realization that AI will be used as an accelerant for the perpetration of nastiness. And the fact that we can’t solve our old school problems by staring to listen to the wisdom of someone like John will lead to unfathomable problems which are just beyond the horizon.
This is all to say that we’re in trouble and we’re headed towards much bigger problems.
So the United States is responsible for the evil that is Israel and every atrocity they commit? Why don't Americans stop the blood-drenched slaughter by the Israelis?
Why does the West ignore that Hamas proposed freeing all hostages a long time ago?
Summary
This article examines the multiple proposals made by Hamas since November 2023 to release all hostages captured in Israel—proposals that have been systematically ignored or rejected by the Israeli government and downplayed in Western media discourse. Drawing on reputable sources, it documents Hamas’s negotiation efforts, which included conditions such as a permanent ceasefire, the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and the release of Palestinian prisoners, many of whom are held without trial. The text highlights the systematic omission of this information by major media outlets, contributing to a one-sided narrative that justifies the continuation of the conflict.
Is Israel seeking something beyond the hostages?
Since the days immediately following the October 7, 2023 attack, a significant part of the political and media discourse in the West has insisted on Hamas’s refusal to free the hostages captured in Israel. However, this narrative omits a central fact: Hamas has indeed proposed freeing all the hostages, even in a single stage, in exchange for conditions aimed at ending the conflict. These proposals have not only been public but repeated at various stages of the negotiation process. The problem, then, has not been Hamas’s refusal to release them, but Israel’s refusal to accept the conditions that such a release would imply.
The first relevant offer dates back to November 2023, when Hamas raised the idea of a massive exchange: all Israeli hostages would be freed in return for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. This formula, known as “everyone for everyone,” already revealed that Hamas conceived the release not as a unilateral action, but as part of a broad de-escalation agreement. Although the proposal was discussed in Israeli and international media, it was never taken seriously as a starting point by Netanyahu’s government, which insisted on prioritizing military pressure as the way to achieve results.
On February 19, 2025, Hamas reinforced this position even more explicitly. Through its spokesperson Hazem Qassem, the organization announced its willingness to release all remaining hostages at once, provided that a permanent ceasefire was guaranteed and the Israeli army fully withdrew from Gaza. This was the first time that the demand for an end to the war was raised as a direct condition for a massive and immediate release. At the same time, Qassem emphasized that his organization would not accept any proposal implying its dismantling or political defeat, indicating that any negotiation had to recognize its political role in the Strip (Al Jazeera, 2025; France24, 2025).
Shortly thereafter, between April 17 and 18 of the same year, Hamas leader in Gaza, Khalil Al-Hayya, detailed from Cairo the terms of a more structured proposal. In it, Hamas committed to handing over all hostages, but not only in exchange for the ceasefire and withdrawal, but also as part of a package including the release of Palestinian prisoners and an international reconstruction program for Gaza. This proposal was communicated through Egyptian and Qatari mediation channels and reproduced by several international media outlets. Al-Hayya stated that Hamas was ready to accept a phased process, but only if it guaranteed a real end to the war (Firstpost, 2025; Reuters, 2025a).
To understand the scope of this demand, it is necessary to consider the reality of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, a dimension almost absent from the public debate in the West. For decades, Israel has applied a legal figure called administrative detention, which allows imprisoning Palestinians without formal charges or trial for periods of up to six months, renewable indefinitely. That is, a Palestinian can be arrested on “suspicion” of posing a security threat without evidence presented before a court, and remain months or years in prison without trial (B’Tselem, 2024; Addameer, 2023). This policy has been repeatedly denounced by human rights organizations and has been applied not only to adults but also to minors. According to recent data, over 1,000 Palestinians were under administrative detention by mid-2024 (Human Rights Watch, 2024). In this context, the release of Palestinian prisoners is not only posed as a political gesture but as a demand against a systematic practice of arbitrary imprisonment.
The international community responded to this dynamic with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2735, adopted on June 10, 2024. It proposed a tripartite framework: first, an immediate ceasefire accompanied by the release of women, children, and the elderly; second, a consolidation phase including the release of all remaining hostages and the full withdrawal of the Israeli army; and finally, a third phase focused on Gaza’s reconstruction and the return of human remains. Israel publicly accepted the general framework but never committed to phase two, considering unacceptable that Hamas could remain as a military or political actor (Reuters, 2025b).
In early July 2025, diplomatic efforts were revived with a new proposal negotiated by the United States, Egypt, and Qatar. This included a 60-day ceasefire and a gradual release of hostages, starting with about ten hostages plus 18 bodies. Hamas responded “in a positive spirit,” showing willingness to advance toward a sustainable truce that could lead to the end of the war. However, the Israeli government insisted that any agreement must guarantee Hamas’s total dismantling, effectively blocking any possibility of full release as proposed by Hamas (Reuters, 2025c).
Despite the clarity of these proposals and their reiteration over time, the dominant Western discourse — including major media such as CNN, The New York Times, or El País — maintains the idea that Hamas simply refuses to free the hostages. This selective omission not only distorts reality but erases the political conditions under which Hamas has been willing to negotiate, reinforcing the notion that war is the only viable path.
In summary, Hamas’s offers to release the hostages have existed, have been clear, and have been proposed for a long time. What has not existed is political will on Israel’s part — nor media recognition in the West — to take them seriously. By ignoring these initiatives and the context of thousands of Palestinians detained without trial, a conflict that could have been resolved politically is perpetuated, and the suffering of the hostages and their families is instrumentalized to justify a prolonged war.

Mearsheimer is a broken-record antisemite posing as a realist. His latest take—that Trump’s support for Israel hurts U.S. credibility—is laughable. Yes, Israel is America’s most reliable ally in the most dangerous region. Does he attack Germany or Qatar for hosting U.S. bases? Never. His fixation is always Israel.
His “offensive realism” is failed theory dressed as insight. His Israel Lobby book was a smear, not scholarship—fuel for bigots on both extremes. Mearsheimer doesn’t explain the world; he distorts it. He’s not just wrong—he’s dangerous.
Mearsheimer is sane and clearly you are not. Israel is the greatest intentional mass murderer of children in human history.
For 77 years Israelis have raped, tortured, murdered, destroyed, stolen, tormented the Palestinians whose land they have stolen. In the past 2 years they have added nearly a million corpses, mostly children, to their blood-drenched history which began in 1947 when they raped, tortured, murdered, bashed out the brains of babies, destroyed, stole and dispossessed nearly a million Palestinians, slaughtering thousands of helpless civilians.
Israel is a disgusting taint and stain on the planet and an even worse one for Judaism and real Jews.
If he is anti-semitic, expressing hatred of Jews and Judaism in condemning the foul state of Israel for its crimes, then you are saying that Judaism and Jews practise and promote all of those atrocities as well as being the greatest child murderers in recorded history. You are the one who hates Jews.
When they invented the Hebrew they speak in what is called Israel in the late 19th and early 20th century from the religious Hebrew dead for more than 2000 years, they chose not to include in the vocabulary the words:
HUMANITY, DECENCY, INTEGRITY, MORALITY, COMPASSION, JUSTICE, REASON AND SANITY.
Israel is the horror that it is because these words are never spoken by Israelis. Out of a dead language came only death and primitive barbarism.
I always call it the zionist entity, because I think the official name suggests something beautiful, which doesn't apply. Like Seymour Hersh says, it's worse than you think.
This isn’t criticism of Israeli policy—it’s unhinged, blood-soaked fantasy rooted in raw antisemitic hatred. You didn’t cite facts. You unleashed a genocidal rant straight from the darkest corners of conspiracy propaganda. Your grotesque claim that Israel is the “greatest mass murderer of children in human history” is not only false—it’s morally deranged. It ignores the context of war, the documented tactics of terrorist groups like Hamas who use civilians as shields, and the fact that Israel goes to lengths unmatched in warfare to avoid civilian casualties.
But you don’t care about truth. Your goal isn’t peace or justice. It’s dehumanization. You spew invented numbers, deny history, and accuse Jews of monstrous crimes—not just Israelis, but by invoking Judaism and “real Jews,” you make clear your target is the Jewish people themselves.
Let’s be honest: this isn’t a political position. It’s hate speech. You dress it up with the language of justice, but what you’ve written is a modern blood libel—vile, deranged, and soaked in historical ignorance. You haven’t condemned injustice. You’ve revealed your own. Fuck you.
You are pissed because you know I am right. Jews and Israelis have made an ancient belief, called blood libel, totally real - the murder of children, delight in the blood of babies soaking the earth. That is truly sick. That is reality.
Moshe Feiglin, former Israeli lawmaker said:
The enemy is not Hamas. Every child, every baby in Gaza is an enemy.
INTENTIONAL MASS MURDER OF CHILDREN AS POLICY.
Itamar Ben Gvir, Israeli Minister of National Security said:
The only thing that needs to enter Gaza is hundreds of tons of explosives from the air, not an ounce of humanitarian aid.
CLEAR STATEMENT OF THE INTENTIONAL MASS MURDER OF CHILDREN AS POLICY.
It is a statement of fact that Israel is the greatest intentional mass murderer of children in recorded history but by all means provide sources of another State doing what Israel has done.
Gaza is a prison, a concentration camp - there is nowhere to run. Israel knows nearly half of the prisoners are children but it bombs and starves the civilian population. That is mass murder mostly of children because they die more easily.
International doctors have stated and proven that Israeli snipers are shooting children in the head and heart, including toddlers. That is mass murder of children.
Israel is dropping bombs on families and refugees in plastic tents where nearly half are children. That is mass murder of children.
Israel is refusing medical aid and has destroyed hospitals, tortured and murdered doctors and children die faster without medical help. That is mass murder of children.
Israel is refusing clean water and it is babies and children who die first and fast. That is mass murder of children.
And all of it is intentional. Lunatic Israeli ministers have clearly stated - THERE ARE NO INNOCENTS AND BABIES AND CHILDREN MUST DIE. That is mass murder of children as a stated policy.
At this point there are around 60,000 identified corpses of which at least 30-40,000 would be children because they die more easily and if Trump is right and there are 800,000 dead then there will be at least 500,000 dead children in the final count.
There are bodies rotting in the rubble, many of them children. There are those who were evaporated or shredded and more easily done with children. There are those eaten by dogs, more easily done with children.
Israel has chosen to destroy a concentration camp it created where it knows nearly half of the prisoners are children. THAT IS BY ANY SANE REASONING THE GREATEST INTENTIONAL MASS MURDER OF CHILDREN IN HUMAN HISTORY.
What you’ve written is disgusting—not just because it’s false, but because it reveals something rotten in you. You aren’t just repeating propaganda; you’re actively choosing to spread vile, dehumanizing lies that accuse an entire people of the mass murder of children—without a shred of real evidence.
You invent body counts, quote ghost sources, and throw out phrases like “500,000 dead children” as if you’re proud of the outrage you’re manufacturing. That’s not activism. That’s hate. That’s you reveling in atrocity fiction to justify your obsession with demonizing Israel and, by extension, Jews.
You’re not grieving for children—you’re weaponizing them. You erase every Hamas war crime, every hostage taken, every rocket fired from schools, because it doesn’t fit your deranged narrative. The horror here isn’t just what you claim—it’s that you seem to need it to be true. That’s what makes you not just wrong, but morally repugnant.
Jews could not be demonized by extension if Jews had not allowed Israel to claim it represents them and their religion. Neither could they be demonized if they had not funded, supported, promoted and enabled Israel, the State of Hate.
What is repugnant is when people try to defend 77 years of some of the worst atrocities in human history done by Israel in the name of sicko Jews.
You said: You erase every Hamas war crime, every hostage taken, every rocket fired from schools, because it doesn’t fit your deranged narrative.
The Palestinian Resistance, of which Hamas is one of a dozen factions, exists because Israel occupies their homeland and treats them with bestial savagery.
UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW THE PALESTINIANS HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO TAKE UP ARMS AGAINST THE THUGS WHO OCCUPY THEIR COUNTRY AND AS THE OCCUPIER, ISRAEL HAS NO RIGHT TO STOP THEM AND NO RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE.
Whatever crimes Hamas and the Resistance might have committed THEY PALE INTO TRIVIAL INSIGNIFICANCE compared to the hideous atrocities committed by Zionists, Israelis and Jews for 77 years.
facts are often disgusting. Please disprove anything I have said. One will do.
THIS IS DISGUSTING. The Sickraelis are allowing some international doctors into Gaza, BUT they are stripping them of the baby formula they are attempting to get to starving babies. NOW WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?
No-one is going to believe that Hamas is surviving on baby formula, SO, LOGIC SAYS THE SHITFESTS ARE DOING THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A POLICY OF MASS MURDERING CHILDREN. Babies are easy.
Remember these sickos in one hospital they destroyed, drove out the staff, refused to allow them to take seven premature babies and left those babies to die, rot and be eaten by dogs.
Okay, the figure of 500,000. Trump said when planning his Gaza Riviera there were 1.5-1.8 Palestinians to be removed. Before the Israeli slaughter there were 2.3 million so that says, between 600-800,000 are left, nearly half of them children.
We know that children die more easily, certainly from starvation and dirty water, bombs and bullets aside, so logic would decree that the final figure may show 500,000 dead children.
The official figure of around 50-60,000 is only an identified body and most of those are children. There will be tens of thousands who are never identified because they were evaporated, shredded - easier with kids - or eaten by dogs. Did you know the Sickraelis leave the dead bodies so the dogs can eat them to frighten Palestinian prisoners out of certain areas? THE SICKO SOLDIERS HAVE ADMITTED THAT.
NOW with a concentration camp population where nearly 50% are children, is it reasonable to assume that deaths from starvation, dirty water and trauma would be higher for children? Of course it is.
Your unhinged, hate-filled rant isn’t “speaking truth to power.” It’s a textbook example of antisemitic incitement—deranged lies presented as moral clarity. You accuse Israel of being a “State of Hate,” while you spew fantasies about babies being “eaten by dogs” and invent six-figure death tolls with no evidence. You demand one fact disproven? Here it is: there is zero credible verification—none—that Israel has killed 500,000 children. That number is a grotesque fabrication, repeated only by extremists and propagandists.
You accuse “Jews” collectively, not just Israel, of atrocities—because you’ve blurred the line between criticism and hate so thoroughly that your language mirrors classic blood libel. And yes, when you refer to “sicko Jews” supporting a “State of Hate,” you’ve abandoned all pretense. You aren’t criticizing policy—you’re dehumanizing people.
Now let’s talk about actual history:
• Since its founding, Israel has accepted multiple peace offers. In 1947, it accepted the UN partition plan. The Arab states rejected it and launched a war. In 2000, at Camp David, Israel offered the Palestinians a state—Arafat walked away and launched the Second Intifada, a terror war that killed over 1,000 Israeli civilians.
• Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005—removing every soldier and settler. The result? Hamas took over, fired over 20,000 rockets at Israeli civilians, dug terror tunnels, and used its own people—including children—as human shields.
• Palestinian leadership has consistently chosen violence over peace. Hamas’s charter openly calls for the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews. It is not a liberation movement—it is a genocidal death cult. The Palestinian Authority still pays salaries to terrorists who murder Jews, under a “pay-for-slay” policy condemned worldwide.
• Israel, by contrast, provides aid and electricity to Gaza—even during war. It has field hospitals at its border. It warns civilians with leaflets, texts, and phone calls before strikes. No other military in history has done more to avoid civilian casualties while fighting a terror group embedded in schools and hospitals.
Israel is a democracy, with a free press, an independent judiciary, and Arab citizens who serve in the Knesset and Supreme Court. It has offered peace again and again and been met with bombs, stabbings, suicide attacks, and rockets.
You don’t care about any of that. You’re not here for truth. You’re here to justify hate, invent atrocities, and dehumanize Jews under the guise of justice. What you’ve written is obscene, historically false, and morally bankrupt. It belongs in the same trash heap as every other genocidal ideology dressed up as “truth-telling.”
p.s. there is no Jewish people. Jews are a religion. Israel defames and poisons Judaism and real Jews and it always did.
The term real Jews means those who are followers of Judaism as opposed to most fake Israeli Jews who are atheists who actually hate Judaism and real Jews and always did.
I suggest you read Zionist history if you do not believe me.
The real question is why have so many Jews been so stupid for so long to support and fund the Israeli State of Hate, Greed, Theft and Murder over 77 years of bestial savagery and sadistic cruelty which totally debases their religion?
What sane Jew would ever allow Israel to claim it represents them? Not many sane Jews then.
Richard is a broken-record expressing his frustration and despair again online of reality that Israel has to always beg the USA for military support. His Netanyahu master is in Washington DC again begging Trump to leave some munitions for Israel and not give everything to Ukraine. Pathetic.
A bunch of cowards that started a war with Iran but surrendered in just 12 days. 😂
Few people either like or approve of Israel, and no credible person cites that as antisemitism, least of all, most ordinary Jews. The accusation of antisemitism in this case is itself antisemitic: Jews are not a political entity, like a party, faction, country, movement.
Every time one says “antisemitism” we have learned to tune the noise out. You can make your argument by grounding yourself into reason, logic, and facts without resorting to cheap smears.
It’s my prediction that in addition to talking about geopolitics in about 2-3 years you’ll be talking mostly about how best to try to keep AI from spinning out of control. And about 2-3 years after that it’s possible that we’ll all be toast.
In my opinion this interview is further evidence that the top political leaders in the United States should have been taking John Mearsheimer’s advice for the past few decades. The fact that we foolishly didn’t take his advice is in large part why the world is in such a mess.
This leads to the fact that I think that most people who are aware of exponentially increasing capacity of AI are coming to the realization that AI will be used as an accelerant for the perpetration of nastiness. And the fact that we can’t solve our old school problems by staring to listen to the wisdom of someone like John will lead to unfathomable problems which are just beyond the horizon.
This is all to say that we’re in trouble and we’re headed towards much bigger problems.
An absolutely important and critical interview. Both are superb here.
So the United States is responsible for the evil that is Israel and every atrocity they commit? Why don't Americans stop the blood-drenched slaughter by the Israelis?
Here’s why:

On February 19, 2025, Hamas reinforced this position even more explicitly. Through its spokesperson Hazem Qassem, the organization announced its willingness to release all remaining hostages at once, provided that a permanent ceasefire was guaranteed and the Israeli army fully withdrew from Gaza. This was the first time that the demand for an end to the war was raised as a direct condition for a massive and immediate release.

It is a statement of fact that Israel is the greatest intentional mass murderer of children in recorded history but by all means provide sources of another State doing what Israel has done.
Gaza is a prison, a concentration camp - there is nowhere to run. Israel knows nearly half of the prisoners are children but it bombs and starves the civilian population. That is mass murder mostly of children because they die more easily.
International doctors have stated and proven that Israeli snipers are shooting children in the head and heart, including toddlers. That is mass murder of children.
Israel is dropping bombs on families and refugees in plastic tents where nearly half are children. That is mass murder of children.
Israel is refusing medical aid and has destroyed hospitals, tortured and murdered doctors and children die faster without medical help. That is mass murder of children.
Israel is refusing clean water and it is babies and children who die first and fast. That is mass murder of children.
And all of it is intentional. Lunatic Israeli ministers have clearly stated - THERE ARE NO INNOCENTS AND BABIES AND CHILDREN MUST DIE. That is mass murder of children as a stated policy.
At this point there are around 60,000 identified corpses of which at least 30-40,000 would be children because they die more easily and if Trump is right and there are 800,000 dead then there will be at least 500,000 dead children in the final count.
There are bodies rotting in the rubble, many of them children. There are those who were evaporated or shredded and more easily done with children. There are those eaten by dogs, more easily done with children.
Israel has chosen to destroy a concentration camp it created where it knows nearly half of the prisoners are children. THAT IS BY ANY SANE REASONING THE GREATEST INTENTIONAL MASS MURDER OF CHILDREN IN HUMAN HISTORY.
The operative word is INTENTIONAL.
What you’ve written is disgusting—not just because it’s false, but because it reveals something rotten in you. You aren’t just repeating propaganda; you’re actively choosing to spread vile, dehumanizing lies that accuse an entire people of the mass murder of children—without a shred of real evidence.
You invent body counts, quote ghost sources, and throw out phrases like “500,000 dead children” as if you’re proud of the outrage you’re manufacturing. That’s not activism. That’s hate. That’s you reveling in atrocity fiction to justify your obsession with demonizing Israel and, by extension, Jews.
You’re not grieving for children—you’re weaponizing them. You erase every Hamas war crime, every hostage taken, every rocket fired from schools, because it doesn’t fit your deranged narrative. The horror here isn’t just what you claim—it’s that you seem to need it to be true. That’s what makes you not just wrong, but morally repugnant.
Jews could not be demonized by extension if Jews had not allowed Israel to claim it represents them and their religion. Neither could they be demonized if they had not funded, supported, promoted and enabled Israel, the State of Hate.
What is repugnant is when people try to defend 77 years of some of the worst atrocities in human history done by Israel in the name of sicko Jews.
You said: You erase every Hamas war crime, every hostage taken, every rocket fired from schools, because it doesn’t fit your deranged narrative.
The Palestinian Resistance, of which Hamas is one of a dozen factions, exists because Israel occupies their homeland and treats them with bestial savagery.
UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW THE PALESTINIANS HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO TAKE UP ARMS AGAINST THE THUGS WHO OCCUPY THEIR COUNTRY AND AS THE OCCUPIER, ISRAEL HAS NO RIGHT TO STOP THEM AND NO RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE.
Whatever crimes Hamas and the Resistance might have committed THEY PALE INTO TRIVIAL INSIGNIFICANCE compared to the hideous atrocities committed by Zionists, Israelis and Jews for 77 years.
facts are often disgusting. Please disprove anything I have said. One will do.
THIS IS DISGUSTING. The Sickraelis are allowing some international doctors into Gaza, BUT they are stripping them of the baby formula they are attempting to get to starving babies. NOW WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?
No-one is going to believe that Hamas is surviving on baby formula, SO, LOGIC SAYS THE SHITFESTS ARE DOING THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A POLICY OF MASS MURDERING CHILDREN. Babies are easy.
Remember these sickos in one hospital they destroyed, drove out the staff, refused to allow them to take seven premature babies and left those babies to die, rot and be eaten by dogs.
Okay, the figure of 500,000. Trump said when planning his Gaza Riviera there were 1.5-1.8 Palestinians to be removed. Before the Israeli slaughter there were 2.3 million so that says, between 600-800,000 are left, nearly half of them children.
We know that children die more easily, certainly from starvation and dirty water, bombs and bullets aside, so logic would decree that the final figure may show 500,000 dead children.
The official figure of around 50-60,000 is only an identified body and most of those are children. There will be tens of thousands who are never identified because they were evaporated, shredded - easier with kids - or eaten by dogs. Did you know the Sickraelis leave the dead bodies so the dogs can eat them to frighten Palestinian prisoners out of certain areas? THE SICKO SOLDIERS HAVE ADMITTED THAT.
NOW with a concentration camp population where nearly 50% are children, is it reasonable to assume that deaths from starvation, dirty water and trauma would be higher for children? Of course it is.
Love it; "SickRaElim".
Your unhinged, hate-filled rant isn’t “speaking truth to power.” It’s a textbook example of antisemitic incitement—deranged lies presented as moral clarity. You accuse Israel of being a “State of Hate,” while you spew fantasies about babies being “eaten by dogs” and invent six-figure death tolls with no evidence. You demand one fact disproven? Here it is: there is zero credible verification—none—that Israel has killed 500,000 children. That number is a grotesque fabrication, repeated only by extremists and propagandists.
You accuse “Jews” collectively, not just Israel, of atrocities—because you’ve blurred the line between criticism and hate so thoroughly that your language mirrors classic blood libel. And yes, when you refer to “sicko Jews” supporting a “State of Hate,” you’ve abandoned all pretense. You aren’t criticizing policy—you’re dehumanizing people.
Now let’s talk about actual history:
• Since its founding, Israel has accepted multiple peace offers. In 1947, it accepted the UN partition plan. The Arab states rejected it and launched a war. In 2000, at Camp David, Israel offered the Palestinians a state—Arafat walked away and launched the Second Intifada, a terror war that killed over 1,000 Israeli civilians.
• Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005—removing every soldier and settler. The result? Hamas took over, fired over 20,000 rockets at Israeli civilians, dug terror tunnels, and used its own people—including children—as human shields.
• Palestinian leadership has consistently chosen violence over peace. Hamas’s charter openly calls for the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews. It is not a liberation movement—it is a genocidal death cult. The Palestinian Authority still pays salaries to terrorists who murder Jews, under a “pay-for-slay” policy condemned worldwide.
• Israel, by contrast, provides aid and electricity to Gaza—even during war. It has field hospitals at its border. It warns civilians with leaflets, texts, and phone calls before strikes. No other military in history has done more to avoid civilian casualties while fighting a terror group embedded in schools and hospitals.
Israel is a democracy, with a free press, an independent judiciary, and Arab citizens who serve in the Knesset and Supreme Court. It has offered peace again and again and been met with bombs, stabbings, suicide attacks, and rockets.
You don’t care about any of that. You’re not here for truth. You’re here to justify hate, invent atrocities, and dehumanize Jews under the guise of justice. What you’ve written is obscene, historically false, and morally bankrupt. It belongs in the same trash heap as every other genocidal ideology dressed up as “truth-telling.”
Correct; you and what you have written are disgusting.
p.s. there is no Jewish people. Jews are a religion. Israel defames and poisons Judaism and real Jews and it always did.
The term real Jews means those who are followers of Judaism as opposed to most fake Israeli Jews who are atheists who actually hate Judaism and real Jews and always did.
I suggest you read Zionist history if you do not believe me.
The real question is why have so many Jews been so stupid for so long to support and fund the Israeli State of Hate, Greed, Theft and Murder over 77 years of bestial savagery and sadistic cruelty which totally debases their religion?
What sane Jew would ever allow Israel to claim it represents them? Not many sane Jews then.
"Jewish people" are those who act as hands of the Eternal; not of Samael as do Richard Jaffee and Itamar Ben Gvir.
You're worse than Joel Skousen, and rather foul-mouthed to boot!
Richard is a broken-record expressing his frustration and despair again online of reality that Israel has to always beg the USA for military support. His Netanyahu master is in Washington DC again begging Trump to leave some munitions for Israel and not give everything to Ukraine. Pathetic.
A bunch of cowards that started a war with Iran but surrendered in just 12 days. 😂
Few people either like or approve of Israel, and no credible person cites that as antisemitism, least of all, most ordinary Jews. The accusation of antisemitism in this case is itself antisemitic: Jews are not a political entity, like a party, faction, country, movement.
Too stupid to bother replying to.
You protest too much Jaffee, and stupidly, you did in fact reply.
You've broken the record of a self-promoting semite. (One boasting of his fame. https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/h8034/ )
Hi ShitforbrainsHiB. How are you?
You aptly describe yourself, and invent facts like Trumpenstein does.
Every time one says “antisemitism” we have learned to tune the noise out. You can make your argument by grounding yourself into reason, logic, and facts without resorting to cheap smears.
I stand by every fact that I wrote. Happy to hear your challenges to the facts.
It’s my prediction that in addition to talking about geopolitics in about 2-3 years you’ll be talking mostly about how best to try to keep AI from spinning out of control. And about 2-3 years after that it’s possible that we’ll all be toast.
