I am curious every time I open this thread.
How many people who opine in this thread have actually been to Israel?
I have. The experience of seeing a beautiful woman with a purse on one arm and an UZI style automatic weapon on the other was eye opening (1988).
The Israeli people have to be vigilant 24/7 and live under the cloud of terrorism every day.
A lot of trips to Israel (especially the "free" ones like Birthright) are purely for propaganda purposes as wellOh cool, you went to Israel once. Were you there in 1967 when they decided to start a war with Palestinians and then took most of their land and illegally occupied the rest?
Were you there 3 years ago when they killed 15 kids, and blamed Hamas for 5 of them, and then it turned out to be a lie, and they were responsible for those 5, too?
Were you there in 1994 when Baruch Goldstein murdered 29 Palestinian worshippers and injured 100 more?
You think state-sponsored terrorism isn't terrorism and also ignore the fact that Israeli civilians have committed acts of terror, as well.
You saw a lady carrying a gun and you think you know something. JFC.

NopeI did it right there in that post, did it before despite you lying about it and like Smokey/Persian have said it's just deflection and never holding Israel accountable for one single thing.
Condemn Israel for anything in this conflict. Go
Implying that the only ones who did anything reprehensible were appropriately punished, followed by patting Israel on the back yet again, is not condemning them for one single thing. Proving the point againNope
You never have.
You claim you did but still refuse to do it because you are trash.
I, on the other hand, have gone into great detail with @Smokey123 about what Israel is doing wrong in this conflict, what I think of Bingi, and how I would proceed differently.
And will gladly do it again. The Solders who have been convicted of criminal activity, in every case I’ve looked into, deserve to be convicted.
That’s the big difference between Israel and Hamas. Accountability. And morality.

Birthright being propaganda is a fact lol, that was the entire point of it. The organizers saw a survey that indicated that a lot of Jews didn't feel a connection to Israel and Birthright was explicitly intended to change that. They have mixers with IDF soldiers as part of the trip, and speakers like Netanyahu encouraging them to hook up with Israelis so they move thereWhatever lies you need to tell yourself to justify the garbage you spew
I was in Haifa. 1st chance I had to call my parents after we shot down the Libyan migs.I volunteered at a kibbutz after high school, Urim located 6 miles from Gaza.

Kibbutz Urim.
It was a miracle that it was spared from the massacre on 10/7

One resident of Kibbutz Urim called it 'a miracle' that they had been missed by the terroristswww.foxnews.com
Proving the point. Everyone here has condemned Hamas; condemn one thing Israel has done in this conflict. Go
How about you? Are you capable of condemning a single thing Israel has done in this conflict, or stuck on zero things like everyone else?You just say that I one line over and over and it truly lacks meaning.
“I have condemned Hamas! Now look at the evil thing Hamas claims the IDF did!”
It’s wild to me to condemn Hamas and then continually spread their propaganda

Implying…..uhhhh, no. Those are examples of how civilized nations operate. I’m sure there are more that we don’t know about. But let’s deal with facts as opposed to your flights of fancy.Implying that the only ones who did anything reprehensible were appropriately punished, followed by patting Israel on the back yet again, is not condemning them for one single thing.
