And—what? The Israelis should be perfect or something? Not normal human beings doing what human beings do? Bad stuff—I don’t like it anywhere. Lies? In my view everyone should stop lying about everything everywhere. You want to bet on the chances?
Watched an interview on Canada's CBC last night with a high profile Israeli official who, somewhat reasonably, threw some cold water on the proverbial "two-state solution". He pointed out that even Arab pollsters had found a 85% support among Palestinians for the atrocities Hamas had perpetrated on Oct 7. Rather "unrealistic" to think that that solution could ever work in the face of that without some restrictions and changes in mentality.
However, Deuteronomy 13 & 14:
"13 And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
14 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee."
I find the Israelis to be more honest than most. Perfect? No one is perfect.
I'd recommend that you write a history of Palestine, hitting the high points. How did the West Bank come to be? I recall the King of Jordan disavowing Jordanian sovereignty over the region. It was simply too unruly and unreasonable to be governed.
I'm with you. Find it really odd this obsession with/against 'zionism'. I'm not Jewish, or a follower of any religion, but see nothing wrong with Jews wanting their own state, and that state being non-secular. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever. Go, Israel.
Totally off topic, but is that an apple doll in your profile pic!?😯🙂
I am waiting for the day that the Lion will lay down with the Lamb, either in this life or the next. Of course I am not holding my breath.

The Jews seem not immune to perpetrating genocide when the shoe is on the other foot.
Though I see that Book also has some restrictions on women wearing men's clothes so it's not all bad ... 😉🙂
