Israel was a country the west used to sympathise with & support. but no longer as its behaviours are an absolute violation of the codes of civilization.

It is making inalienable enemies of all of its neighbors at the very time the west is losing interest in supporting it. Nether Asia nor Russia have any interest in supporting or protecting it; so WHERE THE HELL IS IT TO GO IN 10 YEARS TIME? It seems Netanyahu is intent on committing national suicide,

Rather than threatening to bomb Iran; Trump would be better off to threaten to shut down Israels arms supplies.

absolutely. Israel and indeed the majority of its population are a total disgrace to all humanity. I dont think that they can ever recover and will eventually have to dismanteled and perhaps re evaluate what it means to be human if that is possible.

Your comment is nonsensical, of course.

What formerly friendly neighbors has Israel made enemies of ? None, zero, zip.

Egypt & Jordan had peace treaties with Israel & they still do. Syria & Lebanon did not have peace treaties with Israel, and they still don’t.

Israel is attacking Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. An entity that has repeatedly attacked them. An entity that agreed to disarm in 1989 when all other Lebanese militias did so.

Hezbollah is not Lebanon. Hezbollah isn’t even controlled by Lebanese. Hezbollah takes its orders from Iran. Iran is not a neighbor of Israel, not even close.

No one wants Hezbollah as a neighbor. That’s why the rest of Lebanon’s cabinet has refused to support Hezbollah in its conflict with Israel. Not even other Shiite political parties like Amal have spoken out for Hezbollah.

The Arab world has remained silent and detached from what Israel is doing because they each would do the same (or worse) in similar circumstances. Only ppl in the United States & Europe cliticize Israel’s military actions from the comfort of their couches, safely removed from the consequence of inaction, indifferent to those in the Arab world who have suffered for decades at the hands of Islamic extremists & authoritarian despots.

But gosh, you’re paying attention now, you care suddenly, and you think you know — so it must end. No, it mustn’t.

It should’ve ended 40 years ago, 30 years ago, 20 years go, but you didn’t care back then. No. Now, it must go on until Hezbollah & the Ayatollahs in Iran are ended.

sorry me of Jewish decent like thousends of Jews who are not zionists can see exactly what is happening in Isreal and are totally sick of their inhumanity and thinking they can solve problems by killing on a massive scale . You need to wake up to humanity my friend.

The voters of the New York?

Jack DePalma's avatar

Mandami and Lander!

Yes!

Jack DePalma's avatar

For Mamdani, playing nice with establishment Democrats is evidently not as important as building up his political power base and putting allies into key positions.

Jack DePalma's avatar

Lander’s victory over incumbent Dan Goldman in New York’s 10th Congressional District is the least surprising. Even without Mamdani, the former city comptroller and mayoral candidate might have dethroned Goldman, who was too much of an Israel hawk to represent the district, which spans Lower Manhattan and brownstone Brooklyn. Lander was a known, already-beloved quantity in the district, and he was well-positioned from the moment he announced his bid.

Jack DePalma's avatar

Espaillat, like Goldman, is a proud Zionist who has taken many thousands of dollars from AIPAC, including in this latest campaign. When Mahmoud Khalil, the pro-Palestine activist at Columbia and a constituent of Espaillat’s, was abducted by the Trump administration, Espaillat said and did little. He was effectively useless. The younger voters of the district noticed, and they flocked to Avila Chevalier. Unlike Espaillat, she was an unapologetic leftist, a proud supporter of Palestinian rights who sounded, at times, like the version of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez some DSA members wished would rear up more. She could also electrify crowds and shine on debate stages. In the race’s final days, Espaillat’s allies tried to portray Avila Chevalier as an outsider and usurper, lodging ugly racial attacks against her. (They claimed the Dominican American Avila Chevalier, without evidence, was Haitian, hoping to capitalize on anti-Haitian sentiment among older Dominican voters.) But Mamdani stuck by her, and was rewarded handsomely for his choice.

Khalil wasn’t abducted, he was arrested and detained. You speak of “Palestinian rights” as those who reside in Alice’s Wonderland would. For 5 centuries, under Ottoman rule, no one in the region had rights. For 500 years, Islamic despots in Istanbul ruled over Muslims in Muslim lands yet had no rights.

For the roughly 25 years that followed, Britain & France transitioned the countries in the region as we know them now toward democratic forms of government. Once released fully from oversight, most of them reverted to some form of authoritarian, unelected governance.

Only Israel & Lebanon did not revert to dictatorship, and that made the dictators in the region look bad, really bad. Their cruelty was only magnified when it was observed that the Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel had more rights in Israel than they ever had in their history or have today in any country in the region. Palestinian Arabs live, work, play, and prosper in all walks of life in Israel. Rights that were taken from them when Hamas took over Gaza & slaughtered those who had supported the Palestinian Authority centered in the West Bank.

In Lebanon, the despots undermined the democracy & the people from within. In Israel, they attacked from the outside first — then after 40 years of failure, they attacked Israel from within.

Palestine (no matter where specifically you draw its borders) hasn’t been more free in the last 1,500 years than it is today. That is the reality of the rights you claim to champion.

Frank Carone, one of former Mayor Eric Adams' oldest and closest allies, was arrested Wednesday on federal corruption charges, joining a growing roster of Adams aides facing prosecution.

The U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York alleged that Carone agreed to steer a multimillion-dollar migrant shelter contract to a hotel owner in exchange for about $120,000 in bribes.

You blind boy.

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip—Eleven-year-old Ahmed Al-Raqab was playing outside his family tent pitched on Gaza’s sandy coastline in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, on Wednesday when the Israeli missile struck, killing him and severely wounding several others.

The zionist globalist does not represent Israel, though they do try. The Torah & Prince of Peace represents true Israel. When peace cannot be had, Hashem come in and fights for Israel - Deuteronomy ch. 20. Zionist globalism serve mammon not Jacob/Israel.

You and Stephen Walt gave everyone good advice in 2007. If we had taken your good advice there would have been a lot less pain, suffering and bloodshed in the Middle East. Same goes for Ukraine.

Kevin KC Flynn's avatar

When is America finally going to live up to its ideals and be the country we know it can be? It is a crying shame that we have allowed our nation to be commandeered by creeps and cowardly warmongers. If we had only listened to John’s good advice along the way, we would be in vastly better shape today.

But the good news is that there is still time to change. We just need to wake up and start steering the ship in the right direction.

The time is now, my friends. The time is now.

Israelis have become pathologically deranged in their thinking as a nation. Due to generations of the worst kind of brainwashing. I don’t think they are redeemable. They are genociding children happily. This is the worst of humanity.

Israel's bleak future is the US' bleak future, because the US created Israel in its own image...

This was not a rogue unit. This was the U.S. military’s pedagogical masterpiece. The Kaibiles were performing exactly as they were trained to perform, using the tactics and the ideological justifications provided to them by their American instructors.

"because the US created Israel in its own image..."

Hardly, it was created by the Predator Class in their image, not the vast majority of decent humans who are citizens of the USA or the Founders vision.

Sean Griobhtha's avatar

And who voted for that predator class for the last 250 years? The same Citizen predators who call themselves decent and praise predator Founders.

Cosmo T Kat's avatar

Please tell me who, I know I didn't. You are asserting that all Americans voted for the predator class for 250 years, that's absurd and untrue. The Predator class is not voted in they are enriched by the policies their money buys through corruption. It is the politicians who have betrayed us but a controlled media has been social engineering this country along with other forms of media. Until Zionism we had predators, but we also had patriots who loved this country and then Zionism came along and we have never been the same.

Sean Griobhtha's avatar

ANY Democrat or Republican you voted for is the predator class. If you didn't vote, you equally an ignorant moron dodging responsibility. If you voted for the abortion protector and ignored genocide, you are a predator. If you voted for your "values" and ignored genocide you are a predator. If you believed Clinton(s), or Bush, or Biden, or Harris, or Trump, you are simply an ignorant deflecting predator. Patriots are a myth for predators mostly comprised of virgins talking about sex. If you supported ANY war or conflict or proxy war, you are a predator; conversely, if you failed to call out your favorite candidate for lying about genocide, war, and atrocities, you are a predator. In a democracy, the people are the responsible parties. No one in a democracy can claim innocence. As for Zionism, <https://griobhtha1.substack.com/p/the-imperial-garrison-how-western>

The world does not hate Jews. We hate bigotry and narcissism and what Israel is.

Zionism is terrorism, and has to be banned worldwide. Judaism is not zionism. Real Jews do not practice or endorse genocide. They practice the laws of God as given by Moses. Political Jews are Zionists who do not practice the laws of Moses. They blaspheme God to justify war crimes.

Ian Duncan Kemp's avatar

absolutely Zionism is terriorism and if Isreal is to survive this racist brutal idiology must be extracted totally from what remains of Israel. I did not Hate Irish because of IRA so the majority dont Hate Jews that hate Israel state and its genocide. That is not Jew hate. That is stupid and total nonsense using anti semitism as a weapon to shut up people and humanity up re the horrors of what Israel gov and those who support them arte doing. Marcarthism did not end well did it ? real anti semitism is awful . But to try and state that critisim of Israel and its genocide undermines real anti semitism and also sadly will increase real anti semitism

dorothy P slater's avatar

One would like to believe that "real jews practive the laws of God as given by Moses" but even the secular Jews I know either do not believe the law as written in the Leviticus 19 33 or they ignore it. the writers of the Hebrew scriptures always made it clear that these were God's chosen people and every mass slaughter that occured was ordered and blessed by God. Every now and then a prophet would pop up who reminded them that there was a covenant which they were breaking so off they went to Babylon for punishment. And guess who freed them? Cyrus the king of Persia which is now Iran. The Scriptures written by JHebrew scholars, tells of justified genocid more than enough, blood and gore in the stories we have all been taught and taught to our Sunday school kids . Interesting fact found in Exodus 12:33 = moses evidently told the Hebrews to hurry up and leave Egypt but they could take all of the jewelry of silver and gold as they were leaving so they "plundered the Egyptians.". I never noticed that before but now I think it is hilarious that even the writers of Exodus felt led to add it to the Exodus story.

Yes Judge, seems there was little adherence to appropriate planning and strategy prior to Feb 28.

Also very hard to believe that war game results were not presented.

I believe when Mossad presented its cunning plan of attack, all military involved in the discussion said it was a fantasy. Further I believe he was told at that time that Iran would close the Strait. Trump chose to believe the Israeli's and here we are.

Adelson's singular devotion to the Israeli regime is a special case of single issue politics that plagues the US. Single issue advocates stew amongst themselves to devise a single issue agenda that as often as not involves demanding that the public accept appalling policies. Lines are then drawn and the game becomes one of the in-group versus the out-group, wholly tribal based on arbitrary lines drawn by a small number of people.

The U.N. should have organized a global boycott against Israels apartheid regime since the 1948 nakba. Instead, they have just reported the genocide as witnesses. The U.N. should be called No-Good Samaritans by the standards of the U.N. Genocide Convention adopted on December 9, 1948.

I remember that prior to Oct. 7, 2023, Netanyahu especially, was constantly on the news for a few months(?) saying the most outrageous things about the Arabs and what needed to be done about them. It sounded like the Nazis and I brought up in a library reading group how inflammatory his rhetoric was, and how insane since the Arabs had been really “good” for a long time; what was he talking about? Shortly after I spoke, the Arabs attacked and I remember thinking, “Oh great, now everyone is going think of me as a terrorist.”

Sometimes I wonder if Sinwar and Hamas did what they did in absolute desperation to focus the world on their plight, knowing many Palestinians would die, but thinking that otherwise they were going to be completely exterminated, and that they had to make a last ditch effort to try to stop it.
