B’Tselem: One injustice does not justify another
Leslie – Peace Talks?
What we are seeing from Israel right now amounts to the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
When Russia attacked Ukraines energy, food and water supplies, Blinken called Russia “Barbaric”
When Israel does the same to Gaza he is very quiet
That little but by the Sinai is about to turn white. If they want to stop loosing more land they should stop attaching superior countries.
If you support Hamas/ISIS, you’re a depraved Jew-hater with a warped moral compass.
Great news! Biden is on his way to Israel! Two thousand US troops on standby. Hamas/ISIS are goners.

Piece Talks? As in that malapropism a piece of resistance. That this is happening now does not reflect on the Jewish people; one can’t cite the Holocaust as excuse for committing similar, and they cause their own demand pressures as we do. We are doing it for the sake of not leaving a stone unturned that would allow another small bit of NZ to be sold; the Jewish are trying to build their presence as a major country and everything is an externality to that? Sounds like our own small-country thinking – the Jewish are more than that surely.
What are the most common nationalities in Israel?
In terms of the ethnic breakdown of the Israeli population, in 2020, while 75% of the overall population was represented by Jews (6.87 million people); a fifth of the population was composed of two million Arabs (including Muslims, Druze and Christian Arabs); and a remaining 5%, or 465,000 people were “others”.10/07/2023
Israel: a demographic ticking bomb in today’s one-state reality

What percentage of Israelis are European?
Among Jews, 70.3% were born in Israel (sabras), mostly from the second or third generation of their family in the country, and the rest are Jewish immigrants. Of the Jewish immigrants, 20.5% were from Europe and the Americas, and 9.2% were from Asia, Africa, and Middle Eastern countries.

Looking from the cheap seats in the ‘gods’, now’s the time for Jewish men and some women too, to sit around quietly in good faith and look for decent ways out of the fog of despair and anger continuing from the past. A large group in yarmulkes, or kippot, is needed talking, not just reciting words from holy books or being directed by leaders – thinking themselves, discussing outcomes, practices, ways, improvements. The religious conservative against the materialist-capitalist conservative does not result in conciliatory healthy thinking. If the persons include those two persuasions in their thinking, then they are stymied.
And note – the Jews ought to have a real hold on morality and civilisation after the length of time they have been in existence. Can they set us back on the right road through their many talents and sensitivities?
What is the first word ever?
The word is of Hebrew origin (it is found in the 30th chapter of Exodus).
Also according to Wiki answers, the first word ever uttered was “Aa,” which meant “Hey!” This was said by an australopithecine in Ethiopia more than a million years ago.
