| You ignored the reuter's article with a poll showing 3 out 4 Palestinians supported the rape and murder of women and children. The Reuters article didn't say they "supported the rape and murder of women and children," it said they supported the Hamas attack -- which was probably covered v... |

| I normally trust the Caspian Report as an informative channel. I've watched multiple videos from that before. The video though, doesn't say anything about Israel's actual plans for Gaza beyond the construction of those two corridors. It may be that they're planning long term checkpoints in the even... |

| How many non-Jews have you seen marching for Israel? Even if most of them don't "march," active Christian Zionists vastly outnumber Jews. Please see my thread on Christian Zionism . There is an annual Christian Zionist march held in Jerusalem itself by a large international group of Chris... |

| The OP's Youtube video -- by Shirvan Neftchi, an Azerbaijani (Muslim) producer -- is what's called "Speculative Journalism" at best, and "Anti-Zionist Propaganda" at worst. Obvious bias is obvious. Never let a Youtube video do your thinking for you. Actually, the Caspian Report... |

| Although Hamas's attack on Oct 7 was a brutal over-reaction IMO, it was NOT totally unprovoked. Like previous, lesser attacks by Hamas, it was, if I remember correctly, provoked by the combo of: It was not an over-reaction Mona. It was a planned attack on civilians at a music festival, many of whom... |

| It's an extremely Puritan perspective of toxic positivity probably most famous with Norman Vincent Peale's "The Power of Positive Thinking". I swear that book is pure evil and a psychopath manual. Anyhow it's all rooted in Anglo-Saxon Protestantism and salvation through faith alone. I rec... |

| My point here was NOT to declare "Halachic Left" to be off-topic because the org includes liberal Zionists as well as anti-Zionists. (Indeed, anti-Zionist activists may need to work together with other critics of Israel, especially for the immediate aim of stopping the slaughter in Gaza.) ... |

| The above post mentions "Shoresh and the Halachic Left." Googling, there seem to be lots and lots of different things named "Shoresh." I didn't specifically find a Jewish anti-Zionist and/or peace activist group with that name. I did find the website of Halachic Left , "a gr... |

| Hmm. One of my earliest memories is certainly auditory. I remember my father telling me, "You are four years old." (And I remember knowing, at that point, the meaning of the word "four," but not the meaning of the word "years" or "old.") |

| the Oslo Accords happened before without US support being a prerequisite. The Oslo Accord 1 was signed in Washington DC (after secret negotiations in Oslo). So obviously the U.S.A. was involved.
