To bi bila obnova starog, a ne gradnja novog hrama.

First, this latest tragedy confirms the bankruptcy of U.S. policy toward the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This is not the place for a detailed rehearsal of the ways the United States has mishandled this issue (for excellent accounts, see the books by Galen Jackson, Jerome Slater, Sara Roy, Seth Anziska, and Aaron David Miller), but suffice it to say that U.S. leaders from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama had repeated opportunities to shut this conflict down and failed to do so. They had plenty of help from misguided or inept Israeli and Palestinian leaders, of course, not to mention the potent political opposition from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and other hard-line elements of the Israel lobby, but that’s only a partial excuse. Instead of acting as an evenhanded mediator and exploiting the enormous leverage at their disposal, both Democratic and Republican administrations bowed to pressure from the lobby, acted like “Israel’s lawyer,” pressed Palestinian leaders to make onerous concessions while giving Israel unconditional support, and turned a blind eye to Israel’s decades-long effort to gobble up the lands supposedly reserved for a future Palestinian state.

As usual, the official U.S. response to the fighting is to condemn Hamas for its “unprovoked attacks,” express rock-solid support for Israel, and studiously ignore the broader context in which this is occurring and the reasons why some Palestinians feel they have no choice but to use force in response to the force that is routinely employed against them. Yes, it was “unprovoked” in the narrow legal sense that Israel wasn’t about to attack Gaza, which might justify preemption by Hamas. But it was surely “provoked” in the commonsense meaning of the term—that is, as a violent response to the conditions that Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere have faced for decades—even if Hamas’s willingness to deliberately attack civilians in particularly brutal ways is cruel, indefensible, and quite possibly counterproductive.

Pro-vax, pro Ukraine minorities, pro-Israel (s tim da Palestincima želim lijepu i prosperitetnu budućnost) represent!

Javno se odričem HHercega i Jeffersona. Mislio sam da su nezavisni mislioci, ali ipak samo 4chan šablonisti.

vidiš kako se slažemo iako mislim da misliš kako mrzim ruse.

Tebi i tvojim pajdašima iz kafane je to tako, ali europskim urbanim liberalima su Palestina i islam bili super cool i sad su očito trendovi da više ne bude. Evo članak i kako su simpatizeri Palestine u Australiji bacali baklje na operu. Znači ne možeš se obraniti od negativnih članaka a prije koju godinu nisi mogao naći nijedan.

Kad su gorjeli ljudi u Odesi , inače hrišćani , nije je bilo ni blizu toliko . .

Ne mogu govoriti za Robija, ali ja imam dosta prijatelja u Izraelu.

Rekao sam im inače da sa strateške strane razumijem postupke Izraela u Siriji i Azerbajdžanu, ali da ne treba gubiti "dušu", pogotovo kad nešto nije zicer. To je mislim bila moja prva kritika upućena njima.

Apropos ovoga.

Ne očekujem nestanak Hamasa, više neku proklamaciju pobjede tipa "likvidirali smo baš sve odgovorne" i "degradirali Hamas to inoperativne razine". Mission accomplished. Mada, to govorim u očekivanju da će se pritisci za deeskalaciju intenzivirati do kraja ovog tjedna (ili do recimo izbavljanja ili razmjena taoca).

Ovi u Izraelu još ne razmišljaju na toj razini, još šok i adrenalin, ipak im još lete rakete nad glavom.

"Sjeverna fronta nam je možda i najizazovnija jer je Hezbollah nekoliko puta snažniji od Hamasa, ima sofisticiranije oružje na razini europskih vojski, govorim o preciznim projektilima", rekao je izraelski veleposlanik

Prohujalo je sad, ali bilo je negdje na Telegramu. Kao Hamas znao da su ogromne zalihe granata iz Izraela (po zapovjedi Amerike) otišle u Ukrajinu, te da su Izraelci spali na 20%, kao nedovoljno i za Gazu i eventualne sukobe sa Hezbolahom.

700 milijuna nije šala.

Taman . I onako im je novčanik otanjio, a Ujka Sem im naredio da ''ulažu'' u jedno mnogo veće gubilište - Ukrajinu .
Meni liči da će i ta EU ''gesta'' samo dodatno podstaknuti i ojačati sveislamsku solidarnost.
