Provocative article Reg. Borders.
Borderline. Feels like i am going to lose my mind.
Gee Wally. It sure feels swell to scapegoat Israel. No wait. It is not scapegoating. It is evenhanded blind scales of justice assessment of the government of Israel. It’s just that the government of Israel is 50 times worse than any other place on earth and…[Read more]

@ Reg
I was not referring specifically to you. An undercurrent in the discussion of the others seems to be that I’m just ignorant of the long history of the persecution of Jews. I grew up with Jews.

Let’s see how long it takes before Israel is blamed for the helicopter crash in Iran today.

So…are you pointing out that the creation of Israel has caused and/or inflamed a lot of the antisemitism we see today? Jews were persecuted long before the creation of Israel. Political Islam inflamed much of the antisemitism of the last few decades. Political Islam is better known by its regular name, Islam. Much o…

Unseen, Did any of this talk about Israeli torture include links to the tortures committed by Hamas on October 7th, not to mention standard operating procedure in all of Israel’s neighbors? After October 7th, a lot of the #MeToo and #BelieveAllWomen crowd suddenly switched hashtags to #IsraelWoreTheSkirtTooTight.
