    I don't know a thing abotu this site, but what baout what they wrote here is anti Semitic?
    genuinely trying to understand what this is about

    A former jewish person is able to reflect,challenge his upbringing or political policy right? Likewise for a former muslim or someone about Saudi's approach, former mormons, scientologist, ccp so on and so forth.

    I guess I don't know enough of what the guy said ?

    You call the website run by American Jews an "antisemitic-fascist" website. lol. I do understand that in defending Israel's behavior you just name call to make your points. BTW the second posting showed an MSNBC video that the cite is pointing to. Why not just say that MSNBC is antisemtic and fascist as Trump supporters do.

    Evictions? These are not evictions... lol What a loaded thread title. This is systematic ethnic cleansing in occupied Palestine.

    Mob Violence Against Palestinians in Israel Is Fueled by Groups on WhatsApp

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/mob-violence-against-palestinians-israel-115249477.html

    On May 12, a message appeared in a new WhatsApp channel called “Death to the Arabs.” The message urged Israelis to join a mass street brawl against Palestinian citizens of Israel.

    Within hours, dozens of other new WhatsApp groups popped up with variations of the same name and message. The groups soon organized a 6 p.m. start time for a clash in Bat Yam, a town on Israel’s coast.

    “Together we organize and together we act,” read a message in one of the WhatsApp groups. “Tell your friends to join the group, because here we know how to defend Jewish honor.”

    My understanding is in certain Central American countries, you can get people murdered if you are in the correct WhatsApp group - drug gangs openly and directly organize hits via the app.

    It's also apparently a pretty popular tool in the US among kids for retail sale of illegal drugs.

    End-to-end encryption for the win.

    What makes you think the government can't get those messages for intelligence gathering? They can access your phone and go through your "encrypted" messages in a heart beat. Back doors aren't new. The big tech groups have been working with intelligence for a long time...

    Yeah, I'm sure the Guatemalan equivalent of the NSA is right on top of this.

    And juvenile drugs in the US? Laughable.

    Basically. Except slightly less egregious since these are businesses. Right? Businesses don't matter according to today's left.

    As a U.S. citizen, I don't care about Gautemalan problems. Build a wall and let them sort it out.

    Same with Israel. Stop funding them and all other foreign countries. Americans should take priority in all cases. If our own govt doesn't put the U.S. citizens first, who will?

    We have a relationship with every country, it's a global economy and society.

    Thinking of the bigger picture, I doubt the evictions were the main reason this started, there's other players at play like Iran.
    It's easy to put two groups of people who don't like each other, especially by religion.

    This incident has happened before so it's not new. Also conflict in the Middle East has happened since biblical times.
    Shows that humans are obsessed with this area and need 'higher beings' to tell the 'real' story

    land and resources, always start conflicts

    Ironic you say that as it's corporations that want America to spend money overseas.

    Capitalism is why we do foreign aid. Figure out why. Hint: it has to do with expanding markets.

    No, corruption is why. It has to do with which countries give kickbacks. Guess which country stuffs the most money into the pockets of our representatives in D.C. via lobbying?
