The tunnels and how Hamas used them to attack Israeli villages and people; Why is Israel called apartheid?

 How did Gaza Attack Israel | Explained in 2 Mins (youtube.com)


"Some perspective is needed. The Palestinians rejected offers to create their own state in 1947, 1967, 2000 and 2008. The Arab League nations armies tried to destroy Israel in 1948, 1967 and 1973 wars. For decades Palestinians killed thousands of Israelis including women and children in terror attacks. Gaza is not occupied since 2005. Arab countries like Egypt, Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco already recognized the Jewish state and signed peace treaties with tiny Israel. Palestinians should blame nobody but themselves for the political deadlock."

"It's funny how you managed to exclude the fact that they also slaughtered almost anybody in their way , children elderly women whatever. And only took some of them as prisoners."


Oct 7, 2023, taught us the danger of not just living next door to Palestinians but living among them.
Our ancient historical markers, scattered throughout this land, are the tactile expression of Jewish memory, and an ancient spiritual yearning. For thousands of years, Jews in the Diaspora would leave a corner of their homes unpainted, to remind themselves that they were not home. They prayed in the direction of Jerusalem.

"The claim that Israel is an “apartheid state” is intensifying worldwide. According to Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, the rhetoric has become “unprecedented in its venom and in its radioactivity” and, moreover, he concludes that this could be the year that the label actually sticks and becomes a real danger to Israel.

"This would be merely a case of competing ideas except that the apartheid claim is demonstrably false and misleading (as demonstrated below), and the improper use of such a serious moniker poses a danger to Israel, to Palestinians, and to democracies in general.

"Indeed, Lapid’s analysis is supported by recent events:

"The  Palestinian Authority, which in 2010 declared a “diplomatic intifada” against Israel, has taken center stage.

"PA Foreign Minister Riyad Malki last week queried diplomats at the United Nations Security Council: “Will you accept this [Israeli] apartheid in the 21st century or will you convert to advocates of the one-state solution of freedom and equal rights for all between the [Jordan] River and the [Mediterranean] Sea?”

"The one-state solution effectively entails the replacement of Israel with an Arab-majority country.

"Perhaps lost on the UN diplomats is that the PA supports this eventuality by its insistence on the “right of return” to Israel of millions and millions of Palestinian “refugees.”

"For his part, PA Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh in November said that Israel risked perpetuating a system of “apartheid.” His remarks were parroted by many news outlets, which, parenthetically, failed to even mention repeated Israeli peace overtures that have been rejected by the PA." . . .
