| For something like South Africa's and Israel's arguments to the ICJ, I'd rather read transcripts than watch videos. For my own future reference, here they are, from an Australian-based website called "New Matilda": - ICJ TRANSCRIPT: Opening South African Address Alleging Genocide In Gaza B... |

| There are two plausible scenarios where Israel would face being extinguished as a recognizable entity.

I would hazard a guess that perhaps non-Ashkenazi Jews (e.g. Mizrahi and Sephardic) really are under-represented in Hollywood.
But Ashkenazi Jews? Don't be ridiculous. |

| Brief summary of above articles: Several of these articles claim that, since the end of World War II and even more so since the Second Vatican Council in the 1960's, there has been a gradual evolution of Catholic doctrine in regard to its attitude toward Jews and Judaism.

| I don't think the U.S.A. or any other major power should invade Israel. I do think the U.S.A. should stop supporting Israel. In order for that to happen, we need Zionism to go out of fashion amongst both American Jews and American Christians. Fortunately this seems to be a growing trend among young ... |
