‘Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.’
And there are a lot of people who do not want people to learn history, that is why the are against schools, libraries, allowing people to think for themselves. . .
And part of the history is that FDR and leading Democrats did nothing to help Jews fleeing Nazi Germany. And today, Some of those same far left Democrats cheer Hamas in their effort to eliminate all Jews.
The disgusting former guy said that Hezbollah is “smart” to attack Israel. He said the same thing about Putin and his attack on Ukraine. I can’t believe and understand why people still support him and think he is the best to lead our nation.
It is the same old, tired “trope” – the Palestinians leave their prison-like enclave in Gaza and attack and kill Israelis – the Israelis return the “favor” and kill large numbers of Palestinians – the world reacts negatively to the “killing” of “innocent” Palestinian civilians and forces the supporters of Israel to pressure Israel to stop the killing before any “real” damage is done to the Palestinian political power structure, which isn’t REALLY centered in Gaza, anyway – the Palestinians are left to their own devices until they can regroup and launch yet ANOTHER attack…
Neither side is willing to adjust their position to achieve anything resembling a REAL and lasting peace…
It’s like watching two “kids” fighting in the back seat of mom and dad’s car, only more deadly…
The only SURE way for either side to achieve a “lasting peace” is for one side to COMPLETELY OBLITERATE the other, as long as either side is unwilling to compromise with the other – and both sides must agree to the compromise for THAT to work.
It should be noted here that “oil” and “water” may appear to mix if run through a blender, but closer examination will show its still “oil” and “water” – it’s called an “emulsion”.
Israel and Palestine will ALWAYS be an emulsion and never a mixture without a MAJOR mindset change from BOTH sides…
Do the non-Jewish people of Palestine have legitimate grievences? Yes, but the action by HAMAS “soldiers” is nothing less than pure hate. The cultural backwardness of the Islamic Mullahs encourage violence, revenge, in the belief that they are carrying out the intentions of their “Allah” The Mid-East is populated by numerous arab tribes who embrace savagery, barbarity as a natural response to the non-believers. We’ve seen this in other times and places. Today, instead of scimitars, they use more efficient weapons for genocide, which seems to be their simple goal.
“Never again” but it’s apparently ok to enclose Palestinians in ghettos, prevent them from having livelihoods, restrict their movement, destroy their lives, kill them en masse, and create the world’s most densely populated concentration camp in Gaza.
This bs, as the Israelis bomb women and children on the path they were told to take to flee the unconscionable bombing of women and children. Bibi is a racist war criminal.
Religious and cultural fundamentalism seem to foster so much hatred and violence toward each other. “You’ve got to be taught, before it’s too late; before you are six, or seven, or eight to hate all the people your relatives hate. You’ve got to be carefully taught!” (Oscar Hammerstein II, SouthPacific).
If you really mean “Never again”, show it by denying support to anyone who supports Hamas, Hezbollah, and their essential sponsor Iran. Exceptions can be made for funeral directors, of course.
The Palestinians are the people who rejoiced and danced in their streets when the World Trade Center towers were knocked down. We are at war. Pick a side. What does this mean? If someone raises a traitorous Palestinian flag in the halls of Congress, that person has raised a target. Treat it as such.
History has a habit of repeating itself. Who’da thought the far right would be making a comeback in Germany when there are some still alive to remeber Hitler and the Nazis. Trouble is no one seems to learn from history. Israel has never been accepted by the Arab world despite the 1948 UN mandate. The imans and Arab ruling class could not bare to see a modern western style democray in their midst offering Arabs opportunities that they never had in 2000 years.

Great idea to unfreeze the $6 Billion. It won’t go for nefarious purposes, I’m sure.
