Absolutely sickening what's gone on in Paletsine today. The US open up their embassy in Jerusalem and the IDF shoot over 2,000 people killing 50 and counting.

Peace is as far away as it's ever been in that region!!
Trump and Netanyahu are well matched.

Two corrupt, lying, far right, imperialist scumbags.

As Israel has moved to the right, so too has its US-based lobbying arm. Stands to reason that support for Israel will fall among Democrats.

The Irish Tïmes had an article where some Jew claimed the embassy move was necessary for peace 
Israel is a lost cause. . So is Judaism.

I know you've been a virulent anti-Semite for years like, but is this somehow en vogue on the board at the minute?

The UN no doubt will issue another resolution......that US will veto and Israel ignore....just like all the rest.
The UN are gutless bastards.

The Democrats are completely useless on Israel though and are afraid of losing Jewish support.

Look at Schumer - he's as fanatical as the worst Republican hardline religious nutters.

Channel 4 News had an interview with Israel's ambassador to the UN in the last hour. A more repulsive, horrid, bullying individual it would be hard to imagine.

Trump manages what is on the face of it, a remarkable feat - that of being able to appeal to both the hardline, fanatically pro-Israel evangelicals and conservative Jews, and the blatantly anti-semitic far right, including neo-Nazis.

It's not so remarkable when you realise that followers of each have hardcore extremist ideologies which are effectively based around them being the "chosen people", that others are subhuman, and that they are entitled to get whatever they want by any means necessary.

When hardline pro-Israel supporters are interviewed after an event such as this, they are never able to articulate any rational argument. It's because they have no rational argument, their ideology is entirely based on biblical and other religious nonsense.

Israel.is no longer a bipartisan issue in the US. Black and Latino voters have turned off as Israel has ëmbraced fascism.
Israel is a parasite. 3bn in aid while thousands of Americans are dying of fentanyl poisoning.

Israel is a tragedy for Judaism.  The religion is not about murdering civilians.

2400 palestines injured, 55 dead, no word of any Israeli injured, shameful stuff.
:'( :'(

The Israelis have to be the most despicable crowd of human beings on the planet. This coming from a man who lives and works beside DUP men every day.

Probably with the old "using children as human shields" trope.

The news article on their website is essentially a list of quotes from the IDF with a token contribution from a Palestinian civil servant who was protesting  thrown in at the end.

I actually turned it over.. it's pure madness
