Any sources to back up your claims? 20% of Israel’s citizenry are ethnic Arabs and practicing Muslims. Israel has 100% air superiority over Gaza, if they wanted to ethnically cleanse Gaza or the West Bank, they certainly have the ability to do so. But there is no evidence that they want this. None that I’ve seen at least.

You know who does want to ethnically cleanse another culture/religion from the world? Hamas. Iran, Hezbollah. The Houthis. ISIS. The Taliban. What do all of these groups have in common, hm? Israel is surrounded by militants who have sworn to eradicate all Jews from the planet. In light of that, I think Israel is showing incredible restraint.

Leftists (in the US, the far-left equivalent of the “alt-right”) are the ones currently rioting and protesting across major cities and college campuses across the West. Liberals are overwhelming supportive of Israel. Conservatives are overwhelmingly supportive of Israel. It’s the radical extremists who want Israel destroyed.

HRW is a pretty terrible source, just saying. Also, I’ve been to South Africa, and I’ve been to the National Apartheid Museum. Israel may not be perfect, but it isn’t even close to being apartheid.

Sigh. Israel isn’t an apartheid state, not even close. Not like Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, West Bank, Afghanistan, Egypt, Yemen, Qatar… need I go on? Muslim Israelis have the same rights as Jewish Israelis. Saying otherwise is misinformation at worst, ignorant at best.

Israel isn’t apartheid. Anyone saying they are has no clue what apartheid is or means.

The man who would replace Netanyahu, Benny Gantz, considered to be a left-wing Israeli politician, will do the same things that Bibi has been doing… ya know, considering it is a unity government and all. The leftists who think they’ll get their way in allowing Hamas to survive by getting rid of Netanyahu really are ignorant.

The implication is that without US assistance, Israel wouldn’t have been able to knock out all these missiles. That is unfounded, especially considering that Israel has one of the most advanced high-altitude SAM systems in the world, the Arrow and the Arrow II missile systems.

The Iron Dome only protects against short-range rockets. Israel’s Arrow and Arrow II Endospheric and Exospheric anti-missile defense systems are what most of the missiles that were intercepted by Israel were shot down with.

Being required to disclose tax records could potentially violate a candidate’s Fifth Amendment rights. At the very least such a requirement would require a Constitutional amendment.

False. A significant number of these Palestinian Arabs are members of the IDF, and there is no second-class citizenship in Israel. The Israeli government also does not prohibit employment based on race, ethnicity, or religious affiliation. Calling Israel “apartheid” is a tankie talking point and is observably and patently false. Do better.

The settler rioters were not terrorists by that definition, because they were not trying to accomplish a political aim, they were angry and lashing out because islamic terrorists from the West Bank kidnapped and killed (?) a 14 year old child.

20% of Israeli citizens are Palestinian Arabs and practicing Muslims. Your comment makes no sense.

So you would call the Black Lives Matter/George Floyd rioters terrorists then?

Lots of tankies/leftists in the Fediverse :(

Oct 7th was an organized invasion of Israel by Hamas, a known terrorist organization. They also entered Israel with the express and sole purpose of killing as many Jews/Israelis as possible. The rioters in the West Bank didn’t go there to kill people by all accounts. If they had, there would be more than just a single death.

A violent riot is not the same as terrorism.
