If the US was exposed to the terrorist attacks and unrelenting hate espoused by the Israel's neighbors, the American people may not have pursued warfare with an intent to safeguard citizens of their enemies to the same extent that Israel has done throughout its' history. The ignorance of the hate drilled into 2-3 generations of Palestinian refugees (refugees established by and used as pawns by the Arab nations is truly unforgiveable. Ignorance as displayed by the cowards that scurried out of the UNGA when it was Bibi's term to speak.
Interesting article Steve and my immediate reaction and response was in the form of the question: How much of the anti-Israeli sentiment is driven by Bibi Netanyahu's actions/demeanor? He is a polarizing figure much like trump is and consequently the Jews are often painted using his brush.
Netanyahu is not helpful for Israel’s world image. But, he’s the one they picked to get blood on his hands. Few Israelis want that job. So Netanyahu will remain in it until the work is completed, or until his political capital is completely exhausted. One thing I know is true: defending against Hamas and Hezbollah is nearly unanimously popular among Israelis.
Genocide, ethnic cleansing, brutally killing many civilians as you put it - I don't care what you call it. It's not in America's interest to finance and provide cover for a sick society in Israel or anywhere else.
A prison camp established by Jordan, Syria and Egypt in 1948. There have been multiple attempts to negotiate but the Palestinians and their "supporters" have to this point refused to acknowledge Israel's right to exist and generations of Palestinians having a hatred of Jews being drilled into their heads from birth.
This is about the Palestinian's right to exist in the face of a mentally ill Israeli populace. Much of which never wanted peace, as was evident in 1995 when Rabin and that deal were both killed. Din rodef mean anything to you?
Where is the evidence of the purported genocide being conducted by the IDF? More propaganda based on the word of terrorists and terrorist filled ranks of the UN.
If you think everyone is a terrorist accept for Israel, you should definitely relocate there if you aren't there already. Drop your US citizenship at the door on your way out.
Yeah, the terrorist attacks over the last 50 years have been conducted by everyone but the Muslims. Why should I give up my citizenship because, unlike you, I understand the history of the Middle East. You are simply showing either your ignorance or antisemitism. Neither is attractive.
I don't think you understand much - such as how the most heavily surveilled prison camp that's ever existed could have executed the Oct 7 attacks with no opposition for hours? Explain the Epstein files oh wise one - what was all that sick shit about?
Oh, so there is Racket News and The Racket News…. it’s all a racket. My bad. But I don’t know how you can listen to Israeli leaders saying “there are no Palestinians,” and who openly call for “cleansing” the West Bank and not say the country is led by people with “genocidal beliefs” to quote another bad actor.
How can I listen to Israeli leaders saying hateful things? Because I don't live in Israel. I am not an Israeli citizen. I don't participate in their politics. I don't get a vote on their leaders. Just like any other foreign nation. However, I was born a Jew. I consider myself Jewish in that I believe the Torah is truth. I have a Jewish family. I live among ex-pat Israelis, some of whom are also American citizens. Israel is the ONLY nation in the world that cannot expel or persecute Jews, which make up 0.2% of the world's population, yet have 25% of Nobel Prize awards. There are 51 or 52 Islamic states. Muslims make up 25% of the world population. Christians are 28%. Non-religious people are about 28% of the world population. Every single one of those groups has a history of persecuting Jews, going back over a thousand years of the modern era. Yet today, because Israel, the size of New Jersey, with a population of 10 million (10% of them are non-Jews), has to deal with 2.5 to 4 million Palestinians, who were refugees from its bloody founding war 80 years ago and would not be repatriated by their own people (Jordan, Syria, Egypt), who are of the most extreme radical form of Islam, the other 99% of the earth decides Israel is a boogeyman, and the 14-odd million Jews in America, most of whom live in New York City, under a Muslim mayor they helped elect, some kind of fifth column. Yet Jews have lived in America since before the founding of this nation. I support Israel because I enjoy not being murdered for being Jewish.
What a sad, fearful claim. Aside from Arab and African Muslim countries, there’s no governments that currently expel or persecute Jews willy nilly… What are you talking about?
why is it lame? there is plenty of information in here that is correct and important to be able to begin to understand the situation. it is easy for people in the US to sit there, making grand comments, emotional, uninformed. i understand that - but the truth really is that very few people understand either the arab or the jewish mentality, over in the middle east. and unless you're actually there - it's impossible to grasp. this article is not "lame". "lame" means you haven't researched, you're just spouting easy catch phrases. what is lame is the constant call of "genocide" by people who know, apparantly, very little about the history of humans.

Great piece, brother. Thank you for the reminder.
@steve unrelated to this article: 20-21% of the population of Israel is Arab, not 10%.
Shows how little I know about Israeli politics
Genocide, ethnic cleansing, brutally killing many civilians as you put it - I don't care what you call it. It's not in America's interest to finance and provide cover for a sick society in Israel or anywhere else.
Hitler and Goebbles would be proud.
I find it fascinating that so-called sophisticated progressives and Klansmen think so much alike.
If Israel society is “sick”, what is your description of Palestinian society?
Prison camp.

Wow, what happened to Racket news? This is just lame. Unsubscribing
This is not Taibbi’s site. It never has been.
