“If Blinken and the US administration would have liked this war to be over, this war would be over. Continuing to supply Israel with weapons and to beg Israel to stop the war is quite a farce. This is not international relations, this is a children’s game.” – Gideon Levy, Haaretz

They have been running concentration and labor camps since 1948

I hope she pays dearly for her racism and bigotry.

Killing the negotiator... Zionists never wanted peace, not even in 1923.

No, this is Israel's standard. Listen to Giden Levy speaking in 2015 on how Israeli society lives with the occupation https://youtu.be/3EtNFXL_ykg

This has been reported by B'Tselem an Israeli human rights organization https://www.btselem.org/publications/202408_welcome_to_hell

Assuming good faith, perhaps he didn't fully understand the implications of the bill. You know how old people are with technology. Even good people can pass bad laws if they don't understand what they are legislating and the consequences of it.

Here's another quote where he was more honest [emphasis mine]:

[It is the] iron law of every colonizing movement, a law which knows of no exceptions, a law which existed in all times and under all circumstances. If you wish to colonize a land in which people are already living, you must provide a garrison on your behalf. Or else – or else, give up your colonization, for without an armed force which will render physically impossible any attempts to destroy or prevent this colonization, colonization is impossible, not “difficult”, not “dangerous” but IMPOSSIBLE! … Zionism is a colonizing adventure and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force. It is important to build, it is important to speak Hebrew, but, unfortunately, it is even more important to be able to shoot – or else I am through with playing at colonialization.

Yet, nearly half the comments here blame the Palestinians for the natural response Jabotinsky accurately predicted.

Yet majority in Israel agrees with him. Listen to Giden Levy speaking in 2015 on how Israeli society lives with the occupation https://youtu.be/3EtNFXL_ykg

Hamas are reacting to a brutal occupation, they didn't start this. Per international laws their actions are legal and justified.

This tacit racism and ahistorical bigotry gets upvoted. Just awful. Western meddling and Zionism is the cause.

tl;dw: they don't see Palestinians as humans

Cleansed by the Torah': Why These Afrikaners Converted to Judaism and Moved to Israel

Among the first Afrikaner converts to make aliyah were the Taljaards from Randfontein, a gold-mining city near Johannesburg. They came in the mid-1990s and began raising sheep in the settlement of Susya, where they were often involved in violent clashes with Palestinians from nearby villages in the South Hebron Hills. Jacob, the eldest of 14 children in the family, was killed in a tractor accident several years ago. He once famously told an Israeli television reporter that he “loved” the apartheid system and thought it was “the best thing in the world.”

Why did the Greeks, Persians and Romans want it when they were pagan? and the Egyptians long before them.

Trade routes, natural resource, strategic location, ...

I also mentioned bigotry. I am aware she is a TERF.

He just represents the will of the majority. Listen to Giden Levy speaking in 2015 on how Israeli society lives with the occupation https://youtu.be/3EtNFXL_ykg

What would you say is the defining factor for those competing nationalisms?

indigenous vs. people from Ukraine and Poland

Sabaya is plural for captives and is genderless, both male and female captives are Sabaya

You don’t have to take my word for it https://translate.google.com/?sl=ar&tl=en&text=سبايا&op=translate

The dictionary definition is:

سَبْي [مفرد]: الجمع: سُبِيّ (لغير المصدر): 1- مصدر سبَى. 2- مأسور “رجلٌ سَبْيٌ”. • السَّبْي: النِّساءُ؛ لأنهنّ يأسرن القلوب، أو لأنهنّ يُسْبَين. II سَبِيّ [مفرد]: الجمع: سَبايا، مؤنث: سَبِيّة وسَبِيّ، جمع مؤنث سَبايا: صفة ثابتة للمفعول من سبَى: مأسور، أسير “أُخذت نساءُ الأعداء سَبايا”.

The definition applies to men and women clearly. 2- مأسور “رجلٌ سَبْيٌ”.

Literally the word means taking something from a place to another, the below example shows how “wine” can be a sabyyah (feminine singular of sabaya) if it is carried from one country to another سَبَى الخَمْرَ،

السَّبْيُ: أَخْذُ شَيْءٍ مِنْ بَلَدٍ إلى بَلَدٍ آخَرَ قَهْراً، يُقال: سَبَى الخَمْرَ، يَسْبِيها، سَبْياً، أيْ: حَمَلَها مِنْ بَلَدٍ إلى بَلَدٍ. ويأْتي السَّبْيُ بِـمعنى الأسْرِ، يُقالُ: سَبَى العَدُوَّ سَبْياً وسِباءً: إذا أَسَرَهُ وأَخَذَهُ قَهْراً، فهو سَبِيٌّ، والأُنْثَى سَبِيَّةٌ ومَسْبِيَّةٌ، والنِّسْوَةُ سَبايا. ومِن مَعانيهِ أيضاً: الإِبْعادُ، ومِنْهُ قَوْلُهُم: سَباكَ اللهُ، أيْ: أَبْعَدَكَ.

The Arabic words for female slave are amat أمة and jariyat جارية , plural إماء Imaa’ and جواري Jawari

The Middle East has been a powder keg for a long time,

no, only since WW1 due to French and British designs, and since WW2 due to US and Israel

It is also ironic that a lot of this bigotry is coming from some of the most violent people throughout history, even in peaceful times

Short sighted of them to exit the ARM business when they sold XScale to Marvell in 2006.

No it hasn't, only since WW1 due to Western meddling.

Europe has a history of more brutal and longer wars. They even brought some wars our way during the Crusades.

The conditions of the US and Iran aren't the same. Iran has been one of the most consistent and reliable supporters of Palestine since 1979. Also, Palestinians don't want to leave Palestine. In fact, Palestinian diaspora wants to return.

I hope she wins and gets justice.

The French didn't stop being assholes, it was only a few months ago when an anti-Arab and Muslim song went viral. Imane has been demonized by Western outlets, politicians and other celebrities, because she is an Algerian woman who defeated an European women.

Yes, she is Algerian (North African) and that was a major reason if not the reason why she was targeted.

Always blame Russia, even when it is just your old white supremacy that is prevalent in Europe and North America. Do you think the Russians were the reason for the French occupation of Algeria that resulted in millions dead?

You are blaming Russia for the West's long tradition of white supremacy and racism. Algeria only freed itself from brutal French rule in 1962. Bigotry towards Algerians and North Africans is engrained in France and across Europe.
