| On a warm summer's evening in the late 1980s, on a train in southern France bound to Nice. I met up with a young American that began to speak. He first pointed out that it was July 4th and then continued: "How is that celebrated in Europe?" I replied: "Why would we celebrate that?&quo... |

| You'll never be able to convince me that they aren't still hated today. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. There are obviously people with opposite views on the genocide against the Palestinians that confuse Israel with Jews, but most attempts to label criticism of Israel's actions as anti... |

| Greta Thunberg didn't sign any deportation papers or admitted to have illegally entered Israel. Instead she said she was kidnapped on international waters and brought there against her will. Still the israelies thought the best thing for them was to let her leave the country. https://www.youtube.com... |
