(10,661 posts)in 1948, 1956, and 1967. Or the PLO turning down deals that would have created a Palestinian state because they couldn't accept the continued existence of all those Jews living in Israel.
Maybe Israel will lighten up when the Arabs stop trying to complete the final solution.

(2,766 posts)Isnt that question just as absurd as asking why we dont relocate the Gazans to Sudan or another African country?
Or maybe Israel needs to reverse its policies of creating settlements in the West Bank which make it nearly impossible to have a bona fide 2 state solution? Their settlements have metastasized across the West Bank like cancer in opposition to UN Resolutions.

Trump is using the Jewish population to advance his authoritarian agenda. Israel is letting him! Wake up!

Given you only have THREE posts in the JEWISH GROUP and they are all in this thread, you are getting a chance to clarify your remarks.
I suggest you think hard about how you do so in the JEWISH GROUP!
Excuses that will NOT count: you claim to be Jewish; you know someone who is a Jew, or something unrelated to the clarification of your two comments.

(2,766 posts)If you look at the rhetoric it has gone from condemning Hamas, which I dont argue with, to condemning anyone who stands for the innocents who have been killed in relentless and indiscriminate bombing. One has no soul if they are not empathetic to the children, women, and elderly who are hungry, cold, homeless, parentless, childless, and myriad other issues facing Palestinians in Gaza. However, he has stifled that on campuses.
Trump is using antisemitism as a guise, IMO, for condemning anyone critical of a range of issues such as his Middle East foreign policy and Gaza War to controlling American universities.
When Trump stifles free speech on campuses, or in the media, that is simply supportive of victims of war to advance his authoritarianism it is a danger to us all.
I have already said that Jewish students should feel safe and Hamas is a terrorist group.

(55,317 posts)Given your ridiculous other posts, I was looking for clarification for: "Trump is using the Jewish population to advance his authoritarian agenda." because it could be read as he was Jews to do his bidding. Had you written, like you finally did" " is using antisemitism as a guise", that would have been clearer.
"I have already said that Jewish students should feel safe and Hamas is a terrorist group." Low bar that it is, still
As for the other: "Israel is letting him!" That is as much bullshit and is as simplistic as though who think he is actually concerned about anti-Semitism or those who claim he is actually doing this to stifle protests against Israel or for in support of Palestinians. He is doing what he is doing because it is the culmination of a decades long plan by the right to stifle EDUCATION and destroy it at its roots, anti-Semitism and/ or displeasure with pro-Palestinian protests are RED HERRINGS.
EDIT TO ADD:
You have the EINTIRE DU board to make "criticisms" of Israel, but if you are going to come into the JEWISH GROUP, then you need to be MORE aware of where you are and what you post.
