Playing 'Internationalist' Politics by abusing legal systems & courts - is de rigueur for the ANC (& the "ANCs South Africa") ; some would say that such is the ANCs expertise & favourite activity - but they love subverting university campuses too ! news24.com/news24/laughter-a…

THIS IS IT - WELL SAID : 'The entire conflict is one big honour killing. The entire thing cam be solved if they could muster the ability to say "yeah, fair enough". '

Do “Indigenous Palestinians” feel any insecurities about the fact that there is literally zero Palestinian archaeology, or do they just cope by pretending that Jewish archaeology is fake and Palestinian archaeology was all destroyed by the Yahood?

Continuing to legitimize the notion that antizionism is critique, debate, opinion—or some set of abstract claims—rather than an actually-existing hate movement with a documented trail of harm, is a key way in which society perpetuates antizionism denial.

If genocide is determined by intent rather than outcome, then October 7 was the clearest example of genocide in the 21st century.

Good weaseling out of an answer. You even misread the part you're complaining about, dear Caitlin. The "claim" isn't the Bible, but the building of two millennia of a people's culture on the attachment to the land. The only shame is that the next three paragraphs might have been useful to you. I dunno. 🤷‍♂️ Luckily for me, this wasn't written for you. If you'd read to the end, you'd have learned that. You're not sufficiently interested in Palestinian independence to actually listen to Israelis, not even in the "know thy enemy" sense. Go back to LARPing, Caitlin. Palestinians are going to have to figure this one out without your help.

Here is Gaza. Destroyed by Israel. According to antisemites, this destruction explains or justifies attacks on random Jewish people in the UK. Except it's not Gaza. I lied. It's actually Homs, in Syria. Destroyed by Assad. Nobody ever attacked random Syrians over this.

Christianity needs the Jews to convert to validate its claims. Islam needs the Jews to disappear to validate its claims. Judaism needs neither of them to exist. That asymmetry is the whole argument. ✡️

Wow - literally the most vivid insightful description ive come across so far on this matter

"Protected minorities." Iran's Jewish population collapsed from 100,000 before the revolution to fewer than 9,000. Baha'is have no constitutional protection at all and face imprisonment and execution. Apostasy carries a death sentence. Five reserved seats out of 290 in a parliament where minorities can't hold senior office. Beautiful frescoes don't make a theocratic police state tolerant. Dont fall for the bullshit.

I will add another simple, empirical observation - for those who count the land Israel holds from the 1967 Six Day War and on - the only land Israel still controls from that war is due to Arab rejectionism - Syrian and Palestinianist.

In Iran, Muslims converting to Christianity commit apostasy under Sharia (applied via the constitution). They face arrests, house church raids, long prison sentences (96 converts got 263 years total in 2024 alone), fines, exile, or execution. Reports from Article 18, USCIRF, and HRW confirm intensified persecution. In Israel, anyone can convert to Christianity with full legal protection under the Basic Law on Human Dignity and Liberty. No penalties for personal conversion; freedom of religion is guaranteed. Social debates exist around proselytizing Jews, but no state punishment.

Israelis don't want ceasefires. Israelis want peace.

Why is it always everyone's responsibility not to radicalize Muslims? Why is it never the Muslims' responsibility not to radicalize everyone else?

Do people realize that if Israel were to actually commit genocide, it could simply shut off all water supplies? But they don't. Why is that? Israel supplies the Gaza Strip with 18 billion liters of water per year via three pipelines. Not because they have to, but because they want to. Furthermore, Israel began transporting almost 60,000 liters of diesel fuel daily to Gaza at its own expense to keep the generators running. By July 2024, since the start of the war, Israel had delivered 40,035 tons of water directly to Gaza.

Last night, Internal Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s law mandating the execution of terrorists convicted of murder passed 62–48. Ben-Gvir attempted to propose a toast, but before he could pop the cork on his champagne, the Knesset speaker demanded he stop, and the ushers confiscated the bottle. The stunt was much like the law itself: all style, no substance. Contrary to much of the rhetoric, Israel has had the death penalty for nearly 70 years. The original law was designed to execute Nazi war criminals but can technically apply to anyone who commits similarly genocidal crimes. Every prosecutor can request the death penalty, and under certain circumstances, judges may grant it. That’s why Ben-Gvir advertised his law as forcing left-wing prosecutors to request the penalty and left-wing judges to grant it for terrorists—particularly the Nukhba forces, who invaded Israel on October 7. In reality, it does neither. The law explicitly excludes Nukhba terrorists from receiving the death penalty and provides no evidentiary infrastructure or procedural framework to secure convictions. Its wording actually helps judges avoid the penalty, mandating only “death penalty or life imprisonment” for convicted terrorists. Those hoping this law would change the calculus of hostage deals should think again. Not only does it fail to reduce the number of terrorists in Israeli prisons, it does not abolish the president’s power of pardon—the primary mechanism for releasing terrorists in deals. Even if Ben-Gvir somehow manages to secure a death penalty, the law does nothing to prevent the conviction from being overturned or the terrorist from being handed over. The law does more than fail in its objectives—it actively backfires. Despite being marketed as targeting Palestinian terrorists (raising its own legal problem of discrimination), it explicitly allows for the death penalty for Jews. The law defines terrorism as acts “to negate the existence of the state,” a definition that could apply to groups such as extremist Haredi factions and violent members of the “Hilltop Youth” (which Ben-Gvir supports). Its most glaring flaw is that it mandates carrying out a sentence within 90 days—an explicit violation of the Geneva Convention’s mandatory 180-day waiting period. As a signatory, Israel could expose IDF officers to international lawsuits, with no tangible benefit. The IDF warned Ben-Gvir, but he disregarded their advice. Its blatant illegality gives the Supreme Court clear grounds to strike it down, returning Israel to square one while damaging the country’s international reputation. Had Ben-Gvir managed to keep his champagne, I would have proposed a toast—to a self-destructive law that makes Israel look terrible, benefiting no one but Ben-Gvir himself. L’chaim. That said, while Ben-Gvir’s law is essentially a campaign stunt, a more responsible law is making its way through the system. Proposed by MKs Simcha Rothman and Yulia Malinovsky, the law establishes the practical mechanisms—procedural and evidentiary—to secure convictions of Nukhba terrorists, after which the death penalty could be imposed. The Rothman–Malinovsky law was developed in consultation with all relevant authorities. The Shin Bet, IDF, and National Security Council have expressed similar concerns about Ben-Gvir’s law and consulted on this alternative. The death penalty is a complex issue. Personally, I support executing terrorists who attempt to murder civilians—especially the monsters of October 7. Currently, these terrorists face one of two outcomes: spend the rest of their lives in prison at Israel’s expense, or eventually be released in a hostage deal and likely return to terrorism. Neither option is good for Israel. What we can all agree on is that this issue demands a serious, responsible approach—one that prioritizes the security and best interests of the country over personal electoral ambitions.

People are making a point today that selling land to a jew would carry the death penalty in Palestine and while the law of treason can be applied that way, there is a much darker point that's mind blowing that people miss 👇 /1
