That would require anti-Zionists actually acknowledging the existence of Israeli victims of terrorism.

Go do a search at nytimes.com or google news or any other major news site for "israel stabbing" articles from the past three months. Then tell me the only incident even worthy of mention in a thread titled "Of Israel and Palestine" involves the one in which a photograph is being stabbed.

It's just like the meltdown in the last I/P thread over the video of the Palestinian teenager shot while trying to kill Israelis. An ugly display, but one that seemed to provoke an endless outflow of spittle flecked rage from the same posters who reacted with a near total indifference to the killings of Israelis. Hell, I'm not asking for equality here, just a simple plea that this thread not start with a pages long display of dehumanization directed against Israeli Jews. And yes, an intentional effort to ignore the existence of an entire class of (actual dead people) victims in favor of focusing exclusively on a (not alive or dead because a piece of paper) photograph counts.

You're right, the murder they were celebrating is much MUCH more disturbing than the stabbing of the effigy. Thank you for taking time to rightfully condemn those monstrous settlers who could do that to such a nice young family.

So does the BDS movement request the Arab countries to respect the rights of Jews?

It's a stupid campaign that will not solve anything, because everyone knows that Israel can and will not accept those demands, especially a right of return on the basis of resolution 194, especially since somehow Palestinians can inherit refugee status (no other group does this). Instead of working to a peaceful solution (e.g. integrating Palestine refugees into other Arab countries, like Germany and Poland did with their displaced people after WW2) they keep the Palestine people as pawns in their anti Semitic campaign, which only serves Middle Eastern autocrats to have an enemy they can beat up on (rhetorically, every time they tried to do it militarily they got kicked in the nuts).

Its not like Israel or any other nation would ever respect some sort of 'birthright' to return to where one's kin is from

Whether or not you think that would be a good outcome, it would represent the destruction of Israel as a distinct Jewish state and a Jewish majority state. It's fundamentally a response to 1948, not 1967. It almost certainly would lead to mass ethnic cleansing and hundreds of thousands dead. Not that it ever has a chance of happening, given current geopolitics and the unmitigated failure of BDS to do anything besides cancel a few concerts and academic conferences.

The Tanakh literally has stories about Hebrews invading Israel and pushing out other tribes. God promises Israel to the Hebrews and demands purity from foreign influences. There's a party in Israel right now called Jewish Home that's centered on implementing this as actual policy. This is not what the majority of Jews believe given that a big portion of the Talmud is why you should ignore certain Tanakh passages, and actually the majority of Jews, including Israelis, don't give a poo poo about religion. The fact is there's enough material to at least give Jewish Home an argument that they're representing "true Judaism."

My position isn't that Jews are bad or that ethnic cleansing is good. I have not remotely made any criticism towards Jews, and in fact the opposite, arguing that the policies of Jewish Home are consistent with the tenets of their religion. I just reject those policies and tenets.

Hrmm, this seems oddly familiar.

Which other minor sect in the region is using an incredibly narrow and reactionary interpretation of a popular religion to subvert the public perceptions of the larger religious family?


If only there was some way to tell the tiny yet murderous minority apart from the much larger and otherwise sane majority.

Well maybe they should try a different plan. If I were Palestine I would offer an unrealistically generous plan, something like:

  • Israel does a whole lot more warcrimes
  • Israel gets to annex a continuous and convex piece of land in the West Bank equal to 50% of the total West Bank land area, and kick out any Palestinians who live there.
  • Palestinian Authority puts their seal of approval on Trail of Tears 2
  • Israel gets sovereignty over all of Jerusalem.
  • Israel recognizes the Palestinian state.
  • Like even more war crimes than currently
  • The Palestinian government promises to not fund terror attacks against Israel.

One could argue that teaching kids from a young age that it's bad to have kids that you can't support is a form of eugenics.

No, because Ashkenazi couples could either support their children themselves, or had a community that could help them support their children (i.e. a poor father with lots of kids had a rich brother who helped support them). Ethiopian Jews didn't have those things, so if they had lots of children they would have grown up in very poor conditions. Remember that Israel wanted Ethiopian Jews to come to Israel so their lives would be better. Part of making their lives better was making sure they didn't have more kids then they could support.

Israel's non-consensual sterilization of 1st generation Ethiopian Jews was done in the Ethiopian Jews' best interests, not because they viewed them as racially undesirable.

Gebar, for instance, says that he was being held in an immigration detention camp in the Negev Desert called Holot, when, he claims, officials there informed him that he had three options. If he liked, he could stay indefinitely in the camp. A second option was to go back to Eritrea, the country he had fled five years before. Or, he could agree to take $3,500 and depart for a third country of the Israeli government's choosing.

quote:

Tedros Abrahe, an Eritrean midwife who also left Israel under the "voluntary departures" programme earlier this year, says he is "just waiting to be a legal refugee somewhere". ...But when he arrived, he found that his Eritrean midwifery qualifications were not recognised in Israel, and that the only work available to him as an asylum seeker was an under-the-table job cleaning the kitchen of a Tel Aviv shawarma restaurant.

Israel did not consider him a refugee. Rather, like nearly all of the approximately 42,000 Eritrean and Sudanese refugees in Israel, he was labelled an "infiltrator" - a label previously used to categorise Palestinians entering Israel. The only status Abrahe was allowed was a permit granting him temporary reprieve from being deported, which, he says, he had to renew in person every 60 days.

quote:

Between 2009 and 2016, Israel granted official refugee status to 0.07 percent of all its Sudanese and Eritrean asylum seekers - a total of four people.

quote:

According to Interior Minister Gilad Erdan, the voluntary resettlement plan had "encourage[d] infiltrators to leave the borders of the state of Israel honourably and safely".

But just how safe is it really?

According to research by Hotline and IRRI in Rwanda, most of the refugees who arrive in Rwanda are immediately smuggled over the border to Uganda.

Abrahe says that he spent just two days in the country - waiting in a house near Kigali under an armed guard - before being forcibly taken to Kampala.

Those arriving in Uganda are not afforded any further rights. Uganda's Department of Refugees says there is no deal to accept refugees coming from Israel. Douglas Asiimwe, the department's principal protection officer, told Al Jazeera that any refugees arriving from Israel were assessed on the individual merits of their cases.

They shouldn't need Uganda's protection, he explained, because they weren't coming from a war zone, but from a "safe" country that had promised under international law to uphold the rights of refugees.

And furthermore, "from the river to the sea" isn't exactly foreboding ethnic harmony, so it's not like that's a bridge that either side is afraid to cross. It's also clearly not apartheid in that these are two separate and distinct countries. If anything you could make an argument for war crimes, but apartheid claims are a category error.
