'Free Palestine' is a call for justice & resistance. It is NOT anti-Semitic. Armed Resistance is a legitimate response to genocide.

The other shoe has dropped. Donald Trump has ended the will-he-won’t-he mystery of joining Israel’s war against Iran. Always one to choose the grand gesture, the US president has let loose the dogs of war, with B-2 bombers dropping six bunker-buster bombs on all three known Iranian nuclear sites (Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordo). US forces also launched Tomahawk missiles at unspecified Iranian targets.

In the long run, the United States will pay for Donald Trump’s hubris in attacking Iran. The other shoe has dropped.

Israel’s divide-and-conquer strategy is nothing new, writes Richard Silverstein [photo credit: Getty Images] Another of Israel's worst-kept secrets is out: Shin Bet is arming and funding 600 to 1,000 Palestinian mercenaries from the al-Shabab clan in Gaza to sow chaos and counter Hamas by proxy.

I feel unutterably sad. A nation has just waged a war of no necessity. And that nation claims me as one of its own. Yet I want nothing to do with it. This is a tragedy. A man-made tragedy. One that need not have been. One which three presidents have managed to prevent. Now, when two evil men run two countries and enable the worst in each other, another third country must be a victim of their savagery. Israel’s attack on Iran (NY Times coverage) caused extensive damage to the country’s nuclear sites.

France and Saudi Arabia are hosting a UN conference next week, in which they will attempt to breathe life into a long-dead body: the two-state solution. In theory, their goal is commendable: Israel is committing genocide. The world has grown ever more disgusted. This is a vain attempt to do something either to stop it; or barring that, to impose a steep price on Israel, by creating a Palestinian state. The conference will likely set up conditions for Israel to meet.

Only if their family members made Aliya. Many Jews who left their communities in Europe for the Diaspora, do not hv such family.
@Christinethequ2 @dancohen3000 He's of course not. But he's saying he has no family whatsoever in Israel! I'm suggesting if he looks; he might find! Most Jews have at-least distant family members in Israel.
I'm a Jew who has done an extensive genealogical search including DNA test. I have NO relatives in Israel. I have however lived and studied in Israel 45 yrs ago. Following which I became an anti Zionist Jew.
@dancohen3000 A Jew with zero even distant cousins in Israel? That's hard...Sure if you do an "Ancestry" search; you'll find you do have some family there. Hope that wouldn't embarrass you
Thank you!
@dancohen3000 Dan, many people will jump on the hate wagon. Please pay them no mind Im a Palestinian from Syria, does my voice matter? You're doing the right thing and in these dark days there so so few who would see the light and we know the Light of Judaism will dismantle israel.
