Tironianae, you’ve misunderstood Israel and the context: All of the Mid-East was Christian. Islam is the largest colonial project in history; an aggressive, misogynistic, brutal, theocratic political entity with a “religion” taken from judeo-Christianity by a killer warlord – who used it to enhance his power. Most Muslims don’t act out on Islamic doctrine to subjugate or kill non believers, but Hamas and others train their children as murderous religious fanatics – as seen Oct 7. Israelis aren’t colonialists but rather simply the grandchildren of neighbors who got tired of being killed by jihadists. All of Israel’s wars and the vast majority of battles have been defensive. The state was created as, and only exists as, a defensive reaction. Jihadists have been killing their Jewish neighbors since the 1920’s. No - Since Mohammed butchered the Banu Qurayza in 632. Last month Islamists killed in the name of their religion in: India, Nigeria, Syria, Pakistan, Somalia, Malaysia, Burkina Faso, Mozambique, Afghanistan, Uganda, Kenya. Oh, and also in Israel. So you see this has nothing to do, in particular, with Gaza. This will end when jihadists either reform and give up violence, or take over the world. I, for one, don't like the idea of theocratic authoritarianism – Israel is not committing genocide - they could – but they don’t – Hamas can’t – but would if they could – What Israel is doing now is prosecuting a war against lunatic sworn enemies - trying to not make the mistake they made from 2005 (when they gave up Gaza) till now, when they ignored the killers on their borders. You need more information on all this - start here perhaps; TheReligionOfPeace.com The left is being used – in the same way the mullhas of Iran used the communists in 1979 - to overthrow the govt. – only to kill them once in power. Leftist women, ask yourselves – do you want to be forced into an abaya, a black sack? The reality of Islam is your fantasy of US Republicans.
