"...the truly decent Israelis, who want peace, who don't want to murder their Palestinian brothers and sisters! I believe that is the vast majority of Israelis."

You'd be wrong, probably count them on one hand.
The vest majority support ethnic cleansing, most of them 'by any means necessary'.

Dear Indyvidual,

«Sounds like one or the other needs to go if real peace is desired !»

The old story:
Farmer has a lamb, a dingo and a cabbage. He needs all three.
In his absence, the dingo would eat the lamb or the lamb would eat the cabbage.
He needs to cross the river, but his small boat can only carry himself with just one of his belongings.
What should he do?

As there are more than 2 sides to this Middle-Eastern conflict who would like to cut each other to pieces if they could, including the peaceful liberal Israelis, the peaceful ordinary local Arabs, the violent Messianic-Jewish settlers and their Nazi supporters, the Islamic Hamas, the corrupt PA, the independent Haredim, etc.: how many of them need to go?

The Middle-East has never enjoyed a moment of peace in all written history.

Dear Ttbn,

«Come on! Two states. Two hundred states. Nothing is going to stop the call for the state of Israel to be wiped of the map.»

So? Let the dogs bark - as long as the Israelis are confident that their cause is just and their hands and conscience clean, what have they to worry about?

- But first of course, let this be made the case...

Dear Critic,

«You'd be wrong, probably count them on one hand.

That is a blatant libel.
So blind in your hatred that you cannot even spell "vast" correctly.

A small minority favours ethnic cleansing.
And just about half the Israelis don't mind it, being too tired of everything, so long as it is not them who are being cleansed.
What they fail to realise is, that once the Messianic Jews will finish cleansing off the local Arabs, then it will be them, non-observant Jews considered "Messiah-Blockers", who will become their next target, where they will not be shown any more mercy than the Gazans today.

Hi AC,

Its not something I know as a fact, just hope that is the reality. I'm sure the Israeli population has been fed a huge amount of hate speak propaganda demonizing the ordinary Palestinians by the Zionist government, and their far right radical supporters. Just as Australians were told terrible things about the Vietnams during that war.

Dear Paul,

«I'm sure the Israeli population has been fed a huge amount of hate speak propaganda demonizing the ordinary Palestinians by the Zionist government, and their far right radical supporters. Just as Australians were told terrible things about the Vietnams during that war.»

While I have not been in Australia during the Vietnam war, thus I am in no position to tell about Australians, I can assure you that Israelis are no idiot suckers to propaganda.

For example, I have just commented today in Israeli mainstream media:
The article was about Netanyahu telling that Iran was about to have a nuclear bomb which it would undoubtedly immediately drop on Israel.

My comment said:
"Meanwhile, something fell on Israel that is even worse than an atomic bomb - its name is `Binyamin Netanyahu`"

- I received 50 thumbs up and 3 thumbs down for that little comment!

Hi Yuyutsu,

I believe democracy with its freedoms for ordinary people, free speech, the right to protest, the right to have a different opinion etc is just hanging on by the skin of its teeth in Israel today. The far right with its government of Netanyahu is doing everything possible to take those democratic rights away from the people. Just like in Australia, America etc there are those who want a radical right totalitarian regime in power. Trump has said he wants his administration to "test" democracy, what in bloody hell does that mean!

If the Israel - Iran conflict had've lasted another 12 days it would've been Israel itself that was dead and buried.

Apart from US handouts, is the country even economically viable at this point?
Hasn't everyone packed up and left yet?
I hope the Houthi's keep blowing up Israels shipping, as long as Israel keeps slaughtering women and kids.

I heard and U.S. citizen was bashed to death by settlers recently.
That's going to go down real well.
