The BBC is proud to announce that Jimmy Savile was pro-Israel, and all those kids he raped were anti-semites, so who cares about them?

Israel's latest media darling is soldier Meir Ben Shitrit, a gang rapist of Palestinians at the Sde Teiman base. Only raping a Jew is a sin. Raping Muslims, Christians or other religions is fine. Jews are the master race.

There is NO SUCH thing as the "Christian" old testament. the so called "old testament" is in fact the jewish Torah.

Expand full comment
susan cartwright's avatar

Huh. So no new testament? No Jesus at all? Well. Jews missed out on that "do unto others" thing then! Explains Israel, I guess!

Per Mr. Google: "While the Torah is a part of the Old Testament, they are not exactly the same. The Torah refers specifically to the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy), also known as the Pentateuch. The Old Testament, in Christian usage, encompasses a wider collection of books, including the Torah, historical narratives, poetry, and prophetic writings. Jews refer to the entire collection of books as the Tanakh, which includes the Torah, Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings)."

Its like saying that Iran is a ravaged country, but not explaining that the Devil IsRael States of America are directly and indirectly sanctioning it for the last 50 years.

What is Israel doing? It's a good question that nobody thinks to ask.

DO the Israeli's HATE Jews? Yes I think so.

Do the Israeli's think of anyone but themselves? No. They do not.

I have many Jewish friends who HATE what Israel is doing to them.......who is going to stop the Western world and 'blow up' this despicable monster which acts like a spoiled child?

It's not 'kosher' to think of blowing up a whole State.

These people are not the Jewish people I know and who are very scared right now.

Yes. The dissenters are not yet numerous enough or for many reasons have no access to power. But they are there and they are educating more and more people like me about the realities of Israel's brutality.

Jewish Voices for Peace is there too. The msm drowns them out and the Zionists call them "self-loathing Jews". The Zionist lobby has a stranglehold that the peaceful Jews can't break.

Agree. Bleating about it in a podcast or YouTube is bloody meaningless. Same with Trump, peaceful protests where more time has been spent making craft placards then they wrap up and go home and do nothing is also meaningless. Nobody in the USA is doing anything but sitting back and bleating

The brave and tireless organization Jewish Voices for Peace has 32,000 dues-paying members and many many more who are active but not dues-paying and many thousands more who are just supporters. And that’s just one of many similar organizations. And some of the loudest pro Palestine voices in the US have always been Jewish, such as Noam Chomsky and Bernie Sanders. It’s the media which keeps us from seeing this clearly.

Israel cannot survive, Jenny. It will be worn down by the will and the skill of the Yemeni and the Iranian people. Great engineers and scientists and stubborn people.

Sorry, Jenny, but they cannot possibly be as scared as Palestinians locked into Gaza by the IOF while being bombed day and night, as starvation is used as a part of this war and snipers shoot children tgrough the head then complain there ate it enough children keft for them to kill.

I'd have some respect for these scared jews if the stood up and denounced Israel's holocaust of Palestinians. Why are we pointed to feel for them being the victims again?

Of course they are not as scared as the Palestinians.

Then they should stop saying they are. It really makes me so angry that so many of them have to proclaim how scared they are when Palestinians in Gaza are now starved as well as being bombed and it at by snipers and mercenaries every day just for trying to exist under the occupation of a facist regime.

Yes, some come out and stand beside protesters, a few rabbis have spoken out but nowhere near enough and until they do, I do not want to read about oil scared Jews are - they are not the victims here yet it's always about them.

Hanief's avatar

What you’re saying is what many commentators have argued, Israel does not represent the Jews and cannot be referred to as a Jewish entity. This explains, to me, why 85% of Israelis, not Jews, consider the genocide as a plausible and necessary action! Without wanting to get long winded, does this make sense?!

Expand full comment
Davina's avatar

Not really, just another excuse in my opinion, especially when I see msybe tw dozen jews(?) Protesting but quick to cover their faces when the cameraman approaches and that tells ne its a half-hearted protest.

Israel has declared itself to be a Jewish state and all Jews are automatically Israeli citizens, and are given homes on arrival for which Pakestinians are kicked out of their homes so that settlers can move in, often while the owner is be thrown into street. big that has been going on for our many, many years, at least the fifty I know about. So suddenly they want to make out they think it's wrong because now the wider world is faced with it? Too little, too late.

Expand full comment
Hanief's avatar

I absolutely get your take, Davina. My position is that Israel calling itself a Jewish state does not automatically make it a Jewish state, when in fact they most certainly are a NAZI ZIONIST state! Those foreigners taking up “citizenship” in the zionist state are not Jews but NAZI ZIONISTS! What I’m saying is that the minute you align with the zionists you are no longer a Jew whether you take up their citizenship offer or not. The one serious problem the genuine Jews have in the occupied land is whether to publicly show their support for Palestine for fear of retribution for as we all know the NAZI ZIONISTS have no problem murdering their own, whether Jew or zionist it doesn’t matter! So my summary is that a Jew cannot be a zionist and conversely a zionist cannot be a Jew!

Ho they can make place by simply releasing from prison all of the rapist and sexual offenders and rebranding the crime as trend and the offenders as love addicts.

I bet that would free a lot of place that way.

I am sure that would make all the jimmy saviles fans very happy, “specially the prime minister and many of his predecessors”.

Also after the new fashion of sanding immigrants to tropical places like deserts, the Uk could also join the club and send its share offshore.

I think the US just put out a new model called alligator Alcatraz which looks really versatile.
