I am anti all religion - all of it is nonsense. Made up by man to control the masses. More people have died in the name of religion than anything else. This is a continuation of that nonsense. DD
It isn’t nonsense- Netanyahu has supported and helped Hamas to ensure there wouldn’t be a unified Gaza and WestBank - to avoid a Palestinian state and to weaken Abbas. Between his propping up Hamas to his decision to not listen to intelligence on a Hamas attack - it’s amazing he isn’t in an Israeli prison. ETA - hmm here is an OP saying something similar to what I am saying. https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-y...d-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/amp/
Even if true, it's irrelevant. If something new were to pop up now that's not Hamas, if I'm Bibi, I support it, hoping it's less bad than Hamas. I guess he thought Hamas would be less bad than PLO and Fatah. So what.
. If he thought a right wing Islamic extremist party was going to be more rational than a secular socialist party then he's either insane or he wanted to create less sympathy for a Palestinian state from the international community because he knows they'd support it less if it's manned by a Islamic extremist Muslim Brotherhood offshoot.
He didn’t think they would be less bad - he felt they would split Gaza and the WestBank and prevent a Palestinian state. The problem is that he played with fire and it burned the Israeli people.
You should do some research on bush's support for the PLO during the election. They spent millions on fake advertising for the PLO and set up fake community drives and all sorts of theatre. Condoleezza rice mocked Hamas and thought the PLO had it in the bag. When the israelis were urging Bush to ban Hamas from the elections the State department laughed and thought they had it in the bag. because of their CIA operation. Its just amazing how much Bush ****ed up the world. The sheer audcity of some of these trolls @LosPollosHermanos @Salvy to claim biden is somehow even in the same league of Bush is hilarious. Conservatives have done nothing other than **** this country up. We ****ed up the middle east so badly under bush its just sad. We destroyed that entire region
If you like to follow how much we screw up other countries, check out what the CIA did in IRAN where we took a free democratic republic and overthrew it to put in the Shah. Which started this Islamic country mess. Mankind should have learned when the Pope had an army how screwed up that was......religion has no business running countries or anything it is a grift promising people a better life - it is SNAKE OIL !

He was referring to Jewish people not a nation-state. Like dawg you ain't going to convince sane rational people that an entity with nuclear weapons is above reproach. Let's not do this bad faith ****.
You know how George Lincoln Rockwell had friendly exchanges with Black Separatists and supported and cheered them? He like the Black Separatists believed that White and Black people couldn't live together. He supported statehood somewhere in Africa for African Americans to move to. Same case here. The right supports Israel because they don't see Jews as American or European. They see them as Jewish only and that means they belong somewhere else, not here in the US.
Waking up to hearing about a Palestinian American child stabbed to death here in American. It was inevitable that the fear and anger consuming the Middle East would make it here. Minneapolis has both a large Jewish and Muslim community and both are on edge as anti Semitic and anti Muslim rhetoric has ramped up. We as Americans already have so many problems and divisions tearing us apart. Yet it just seems like there is always something more. https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/15/us/chicago-landlord-attack-muslim-boy-mother/index.html Palestinian-American boy killed and his mother injured after landlord stabs them because they were Muslim, authorities say
So what? When the PLO became the PA they were the internationally recognized leaders of the Palestinians. They were the group that signed the Oslo accord and recognized Israel. That Netanyahu and others decided to Prop up Hamas a group that continues to this day to call for the total destruction of Israel to counter a group that recognized Israel Was a total betrayal of what Rabin believed in.
It's so sad. The PLO was an actual liberation movement with sincere goals to liberate its people. Hamas is a death cult compared to the PLO. You can't call Hamas a liberation group.
