I don’t understand the mentality of people who call Israel

a colonist settler apartheid state when Islam itself has been colonizing, settling and imposing apartheid since its inception!

The mentality is that of a two year old throwing a tantrum.

Also, there’s no responsibility from the pro-Palestinian people for they are suffering because those Muslims were decided to become citizens in Israel’s democracy have thrived and benefited. Those Muslims who decided to fight Israel’s existence are, in so many ways, shooting themselves in the foot. There is nothing Israel’s can do for them. They alone can decide to use their power in different ways and to have different attitudes towards Israel‘s existence and I really think Israel might make a wonderful neighbor. Perhaps someday we will treat each other like brothers and sisters.

I don’t think that. Hardly!

Now do Australia, where I live and where the kind of rhetoric you describe is also rampant in some circles.

I don't imagine that the anti-Zionist JINO (Jewish in name only) queer doesn't realize that the medieval Muslim beasts she is supporting would kill her in an instant, while Israel is the home of many sexual deviants like herself and her black "husband".

Very well written but I don't understand the "potty" stuff. Maybe I'm too old to get it?

Otherwise, I enjoyed this very much.

Thanks Sheri! In airplanes and elsewhere, the lavatory employs a red symbol and the word “occupied” to indicate that someone is using the bathroom — it’s a formal but quite universal term to see and hear regarding a bathroom that’s in use (e.g. if you knock on a bathroom door in the West that doesn’t contain the symbols for locked/unlocked, you may hear someone respond “it’s occupied!” instead of “someone’s in here!”).

Anyways, since they are such shitty and childish people I couldn’t help but do a play on the potty words. Glad you enjoyed!

"Lacking a power analysis." A phrase begging to be a new space on the JVP obtuse verbiage antizionist bingo card.

We need to stop buying into their word choices. Instead o trying to counter their words choices, such as "occupied," let us ignore, them and apply our own.

A better translation of כיבוש/kibush than "occupation" could be "conquered." Unfortunately, we haven't conquered the Land as we are supposed to.

Some are using רובונות/ribbonut, which in this context is "annexation."

These words are not helping our cause; they are hurting our cause.

At the very least, we must not shy away from the concept that the Land is ours, and no one else's. It has been promised to us, to no one else. We were commanded to remove the Seven Nations (Canaanites, Jebusites, Hivites, Hitites, Emorites, Peruzites, Girgashites), in order to inherit it (Nub. 33:50:56). The Girgashites left on their own after Joshua's warning.

We have been returning to the Land, also as promised.

The Land is already ours. We just need to take possession of it. You know. Re-conquer it.

I choose this word above all.

What are we waiting for?
