  • I don’t argue there is a complicated history. I don’t deny there are folks in the Israeli government that have small minded opinions. But to say there is no Arab representation in the Israeli government is false. To suggest that bigot views of one minister represents the position of the nation, or dictates it is misunderstanding the parliamentary government in Israel.

    What I’m saying is that the Palestinians in Gaza have had an amazing opportunity to choose their own destiny. Israel pulled out without preconditions. Left the agricultural industry in place. There wasn’t a blockade until the people of Gaza chose Hamas, and Hamas chose to follow its charter of hate rather than build up its own population. The only reason the people of Gaza are in the locked down situation they’ve been in is simply because Hamas choose aggression and Israel needs to secure its people. Now Israel failed this past week and Hamas got an opportunity to execute its mission. And it has to the horror of even you, I’m sure.

    This is the bed the people of Gaza made. Now they need to sleep in it. Sorry. That sucks. But you need to be held accountable for your decisions.


  • What’s you’re saying doesn’t even make sense.

    Communities elect leaders. Gaza elected Hamas.

    As for targeting civilians, Hamas for over 15 years has been indiscriminately firing rockets on civilian towns. Been there. Seen it first hand. Have you?

    Israel has attacked Gaza, no doubt. But it warns in advance. Calls every resident. “Knocks” on the roof prior. Gives time for the civilians to leave. You know what Hamas does - tells them to stay. Makes them human shields.

    It’s a choice the Palestinians in Gaza make. They should chose differently.








  • I would suspect this was the actions of an individual at a particular JCC.

    First 2 lines of the article:

    “A Florida JCC canceled a Jewish author’s talk because her book mentions slavery.

    The JCC later issued a public apology and re-invited the author, Rachel Beanland…”

    The article does go on to say that she did speak at other JCCs in Florida.

    (Opinion) I don’t doubt media is affecting the brains of the older folks down in Florida that are ripe for the influence and are spending far too much time in front of Fox News and the like. But let’s not make this a blanket statement against Jews.
