Police officers have been shot and killed while the public, commuters, innocent bystanders, children, retail store workers are threatened day and night by a criminal element in U.S. cities. Let's not even talk about what the Arab states have done to Israel since 1948. Your priorities, your anxiety show the protected privilege of the life you have lived.

Arabs states have done nothing meaningful to Israel since 1948. The question what Israel has done to the Arab states and arabs in general since 1948. Israel has blocked the formation of a Palestinian state, despite the UN resolution from 1948 that voted not only for the formation of Israel but also of a Palestinian state. Israel occupied for some good years Sinai peninsula. Israel has taken a big chunk of territory from Syria and some land from Lebanon. Look at what Israel has been doing to the "stateless" Arabs in Palestine (Gaza & West Bank) and within Israel (second class citizens due to article 19 of the Basic Law).

Here are some Jewish Americans/Canadians describing what Israel has been doing to Arabs. Two of them are converted from Zionism:

Tell me how you justify the Mufti appealing to Hitler, in person History is a much bigger picture than your tunnel vision

The Mufti likely apealed to the Brits for quite some time with no result other than the crushing of Arb protests against the reception of masses of Jewish population from Europe in the Palestinian Mandate. And at one point there was only one force in Europe that could have provided support against the dispossession of the Arabs, and that was Hitler. Fins allied themselves with Hitler to recover lands taken by USSr in 1939, Romanians allied themselves to Hitler to recover lands taken by the Soviets in 1940. From their time, and lacking hindsight, that was the best option available.

But nowadays, Israeli officials promote both genocide and ethnic clensing of Palestinians. And it is happening in Gaza as well as in the West Bank, where there is no Hamas. When you are in a hole, stop digging.

"But nowadays, Israeli officials promote both genocide"

-- again with rendering the word "genocide" meaningless. If the Israelis wanted to kill everyone in Gaza, they could. And once they were dead, no amount of yelling and hand-wringing would bring them back.

What's happening in Gaza is what's known as "war". Which, in a densely populated area, always involves lots of civilian casualties.

The ICJ didn't find the word meaningless when they declared Israel as probably commiting genocide, given their legal definitions.

~35K dead, countless burried under all those collapsed buildings, over 70K injured, starvation rearing its head. All universities demolished with cheers, almost all hospitals destroyed, allmost all schools destroyed, same with mosques, and churches and public infrastructure (water, electricity), with the clear intention of making the area uninhabitable and force the people to leave. Ethnic cleansing at minimum, genocide in earnest.

And no, this is not a war, it is a massacre, shooting fish in a barrel. Look at the war in Ukraine, that is a war. Also, by the international laws of war, Israel is commiting war crimes. It has been shown by Israeli media that IOF is using algorithms that in fact maximize the number of casualties.

As a matter of fact, the British severely restricted authorized immigration of Jews into the Mandate in the 1930's. After 1945, they tried to close it down completely -- hence the "Exodus" incident.

you really are an asshole. probably love Donald Trump. His deranged lying ammoral mind would appeal to nonthinking types like you who have one liners to offer, statements that show no original thought passes through your head. You're online just to argue and vent precious reaentments. Don't contact me again

I guess we'll just never know why someone would choose "Run, Freedom, Run" as a screen name while cheering on the cops who crush free expression. Nope, just one of life's eternal mysteries, I guess.
