Jenin Invasion Day 2: Israeli forces attack hospitals

Israel is not a free democracy

Yes, it is.  Israeli Arabs are citizens, have rights, vote, and serve in parliament, as I repeatedly point out.  The country has a free press; Israel's newspapers run the spectrum from left to right, and are free to criticize the government.  The people are free to protest and demonstrate, as we saw a month or two ago.

Freedom House, an organization that ranks the countries of the world, considers Israel free.  The rest of the Middle East is either partly free or not free.

I’ve posted many times about how Israel steals land

And every time you do, I point out that capturing land in the process of fighting a war of aggression that was forced on you is not stealing.

Israel was willing to withdraw from Gaza, but the result was a hostile Hamas rocket base.  Israelis learned their lesson, and will not withdraw from the West Bank until the Palestinians completely abandon their culture of militarism and become peaceful.


You excuse every evil act Israel commits

You are like a ten-year-old who repeatedly punches and kicks another child and then whines when that child fights back.  To you, any Jew who fights to defend himself is "evil".  Jews are supposed to roll over and die.  And when they don't, it's because they "think they are chosen and better than Gentiles".  LOL


you are a Zionist fanatic.

I repeatedly call for peace and the two-state solution.  You and Arvid are the fanatics.  Both of you have a murderous hatred of Israelis, have contempt for the idea that they have rights, and want them to "be kicked in the teeth".  


Every international law scholar disagrees with you about the settlements,

If that were true, Israel's Supreme Court would have declared the settlements illegal.


and every legit human rights group agrees Israel is an apartheid state.

You are using circular reasoning.  You classify human rights groups "legitimate" IF they accuse Israel of practicing "apartheid".  If they disagree, then you call them "illegitimate".

I have already asked you how Israel can be "an apartheid state" when Israeli Arabs are citizens, have rights, vote, and serve in parliament.  You have not answered.


I don’t hate all things Jewish, I hate all things Zionist.

When a Sukkah was vandalized, you expressed outrage, not at the vandals, but at the victims:

"What the fuck are Jews doing putting up one of their tents on a public sidewalk anyway? At least it looks like a public place, and if it is what the hell are Jews doing blocking it with their fucking tent? If it is a public area, then it’s a prime example of Jews being arrogant and obnoxious, showing no consideration for anyone else by blocking off a public area with their stupid tent that’s used for what exactly?"

There is not one word of "condemnation of Zionism" or "criticism of Israel" in your tirade.  Instead, it is a condemnation of things Jewish.


Zionism is racism and ethnic supremacy.

How can that be true, when Israeli Arabs are citizens and have rights?  And when Israeli Arab judges have the power to send a prime minister and a president to prison?

And, by the way, you did say that in the 1930s Jews were justified in taking the Zionist path and escaping to the Jewish national home in Palestine.  Zionism saved hundreds of thousands of lives, which you admit.

 
It’s you who believes Jews are entitled to special treatment because of historical anti Semitism.

No, not special treatment, but instead, EQUAL treatment.  Israelis are entitled to a country, just like every other nationality.


I am a moral and decent person and it’s why I believe Palestinians are equal to everyone else and deserve equal rights, apparently that makes me a Jew hater.

No, I also believe Palestinians are equal to everyone else and deserve equal rights, PROVIDED they agree that Israelis also deserve the right to a country.

And you are NOT moral or decent.  No moral decent person would call for an endless war, which means endless casualties, when a peace agreement that satisfies both sides is possible.
