Netanyahu reportedly met this month with three foreign policy envoys working with former president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump — who could yet win the election despite being convicted Thursday on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his New York state hush money case.
Netanyahu, who benefited immensely from Trump’s first term, is arguably hoping for a similar dividend in the event of a second. In the interim, he has openly rejected the Biden administration’s hopes for the Palestinian Authority to take the lead in the postwar administration of Gaza, and he and his allies have shown no interest in even engaging in the White House on reviving pathways for a Palestinian state. And contrary to the Biden administration’s wishes, Netanyahu may soon act on a Republican invitation to address a joint session of Congress.
It’s not just Netanyahu who is waiting for Trump. The evidence is more clear that Russian President Vladimir Putin is holding out for a Trump victory, which would probably help the Kremlin consolidate its illegal conquests of Ukrainian territory. My colleagues reported last month that Trump and his inner circle have outlined the terms of a potential settlement between Moscow and Kyiv that they would attempt to usher in if in power. “Trump’s proposal consists of pushing Ukraine to cede Crimea and the Donbas border region to Russia, according to people who discussed it with Trump or his advisers and spoke on the condition of anonymity because those conversations were confidential,” they reported.
Such a move would fracture the transatlantic coalition built up in support of Ukraine’s resistance to Russian invasion. It would cement the Republican turn away from Europe’s security at a time when Western resolve around Ukraine is flagging. And it would be yet another sign of Trump’s conspicuous affection the strongman in the Kremlin.
Their neighbours don’t hate them for being Jewish, they hate them for stealing their homes, routinely bombing them and other apartheid actions.
Many Jewish people will stand up against Israel for Palestine. Jewish Voices for Labour is such one group in the UK.
Norman Finkelstein is arguably the most educated person on the issue and also Jewish.
People don’t hate Jews, they hate terrorists, of which many are Israeli.
I’m referring to countries outside Palestine areas.
Again. People don’t hate them for being Jewish. They hate them for their actions.
This is Middle East we are talking about. I honestly doubt that they care about war crimes when they participate in them themselves.
Im yet to see any evidence that the whole of the Middle East hates Jews.
The same in that not all Israelis hate Palestinians, after all there are quite large protests in Israel in solidarity with Palestine.
It’s the easiest explanation. The expulsion of jewish people in the past. The observation that Islamic states endorse war crimes. Which means yes, the surrounding nations do hate “the joos” irrespective of whether Israel committed war crimes (which a good case can be made with hostages shooting and WCK bombings, etc.).
The expulsion of Jewish people in the past?
What about the expulsion of Palestinian people over the last several decades to this very day?
Israel is actively engaging in war crimes right now. There isn’t a case for it. It’s online for the whole world to see.
Lebanon are fighting the good fight right now.
How do you war crimes? How come when an Islamic country defends itself it’s not allowed but for western countries, sure that’s different. Iraq, Afghanistan, Loas, Vietnam, the list if endless.
Why are leading Jewish scholars against Zionism, why are they against the actions of the Israeli state. Why is Ireland, and many other counties starting to turn on Israel. It’s because they are the bad guys.
As for any terrorism. If you come and wipe out my whole family for no reason, then I’m going to come and try to murder you too. Fuck anybody that will still 8 months later try and defend Israel. Fuck the US, fuck my own (UK) government and fuck you for supporting the murdering of innocent people at an unprecedented level.

Could go on, but there is definitely expulsion of Jewish people in the past. Which is pretty strong evidence Middle East hates Jewish people.
Two wrongs don’t make a correct.
Guess you miss good case. I’m actually on the side that yes, they did committed major war crimes.
First of all, Hezbollah isn’t even supported there. Second of all, Hezbollah isn’t exactly what you should be endorsing.
Stupid question. But, we see things like children under strapped vest with a bomb under it. We see rapes being used as a tools. That’s the modus operandi of the Middle East of the whole.
That’s pretty much how the Middle East operates. Even without Jewish people, they’re still going to come at each other throats.
So, with that being said, no, Middle East don’t care about Israels’ war crimes. They’re proud of those things. They simply hate Israel because of well, they’re Jewish.
Why are you defending Middle East? I should have to ask that question.
