Most immigrants to israel since its inception are European. Around 60%. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/total-immigration-to-israel-by-continent-per-year Around ten percent of the world live in Europe.
You don’t have to belong to a country to be a colony. Settlers can just take over without formal state backing. India was a colony that belonged to a company until 1857-ish. USA was a colony even when independent from the British. Apartheid South Africa was an independent colony. I don’t see why you guys are trying so hard to disprove a basic fact that’s clear to pretty much anyone.
Except some of you keep forgetting that Israel is the Jews' ancestral and only land. While our ancestors were getting booted from place to place, Israel remained a constant. "Next year in Jerusalem" isn't from 1948.
Israel says it killed Aljazeera reporter Ismail Alghoul for being a Hamas militant who took part in the Oct. 07 attacks on Israel. One question is up: The IDF DETAINED Alghoul during the March raid on Shifa hospital. Why would it release such a wanted person the next day?— Fares Akram (@faresakram) August 1, 2024
I agree with this: don't use the word "they" in such a manner. Absent compelling evidence to the contrary, it's all kinds of messed up to impute crimes to entire groups.
Abraham and Moses were born in israel? The israelites founded Jerusalem? Jerusalem was a significant walled city seven hundred years before David first sacked it. There were people there before the Jews on each occasion that they took it over to make a state.
It's going around on social media but Iran rejected mediation talks to lower the scale of their response. I believe Iran were asked the same thing the 1st time around 🚨Update: US State Department went through diplomatic channels to try to discourage Iran from striking Israel, but Tehran said NO!

Sorry, but this "it's all kinds of messed up to impute crimes to entire groups" is way out of line, considering I'm pointing at that group, settlers/idf combo, responsible for murdering Palestinians/stealing land/looting/destroying Palestinian property, of which the Rabin killer was part. So no absent compelling evidence, there's delivery of it on a daily basis. Have no clue what those have to do with the settler/idf fascist combo. The signs of contempt for the rule of law, if it goes against their fascist yearning have been long expressed and culminated in the attacks on the idf camp and the court. MK's taking part in it is in my eyes treason. The "they" I used is a very defined and very visible group with a long list of crimes with impunity and not a lumping on a big heap of a random assortment of individuals.
So either something happens these next few days or it is over right? If Hezbollah hits and kills mass Israeli civilians like the Iranian representative said they will .... yeah it will be brutal
Looks like even the Americans are getting sick and tired of Netanyahu BREAKING: Israel's Channel 12 reports that Biden told Netanyahu to 'stop bullshitting me' and 'do not take the president for granted' in their recent phone conversation— The Spectator Index (@spectatorindex) August 3, 2024 Israel answer, they want no interference in their affairs...unless they start fires all over the place to force the Americans to save him Israeli PM Netanyahu’s office slams US officials for telling him to de-escalate with Iran.The Prime Minister does not interfere in American politics and expects the same from the Americans. pic.twitter.com/MG7yVjgypp— Globe Eye News (@GlobeEyeNews) August 3, 2024 And just like last time, they are scrambling to secure support for additional help to defend against Iran's retaliation Israel is reportedly trying to contact the following countries to intercept Iran's attacks:Egypt 🇪🇬 Jordan 🇯🇴Bahrain 🇧🇭Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪 pic.twitter.com/vopv9msLFQ— Globe Eye News (@GlobeEyeNews) August 3, 2024
I know, how dare do they ask for help when being attacked from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen. The balls on them.
Given Tel Aviv was hit with a casualty as a result by a Houthi projectile coming in from the west over Mediterranean Sea, I wouldnot rely much on Egyptian capabilities of intercepting something heading towards you over Egyptian soil. I don't think the Iron Dome is covering the Med, so what this Houthi thing showed to aggressors is a backdoor to slam in rockets. Still can't grasp that it managed to hit Israel at all. In a straight line it's about 1800km from Houthi land to Israel, but then you have to sneak through Saoudi airspace undetected. So this thing had to make it's most likely way over the Red Sea, but manage to escape the radars of the USA, UK, Dutch, French and Saoudi to name a few. Then it has to cross the Sinaï for the shortest route, but my guess is that's heavily under surveillance by Israel. So either the idf missed it or it flew around Sinaï over the Eastern dessert, but that adds hundreds of kilometers to the track.
Focking morons You're not helping the people of Gaza by smearing monuments that commemorate atrocities like the one the Gaza people, especially the children just like Anne, are experiencing. edit: repulsive is the fact that they painted Anne's hands red, as if she has blood on her hands. this picture is from the 9th of July, the 1st time it was smeared. Today is exactly 80 years ago Anne and her family were arrested, so it's extra disgusting to do it again today.
They always attack the source when it's news they don't like Here's another source Stop bulls****ing me': Biden scolds Netanyahu in hostage deal talk - report https://m.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-813128 Reports of tensions between Biden and Netanyahu is all over the the medias and the report about Israel asking help to intercept Iran's retaliation came from Israel's channel 12 as well
Not that. Just the sources are more dubious than others. I have always been notoriously critical of the state of modern journalism.
Reports of tensions as the US sends a battle fleet into the Med to protect Israel? Joe is talking out of both sides of his mouth. He's shouting how he won't let Bibi lead him around, then doing what Bibi wants by sending more weapons and American assets. Pardon the expression, but he needs to **** or get off the pot.
For you and @Umar I've reviewed the JCA history throughly and I have not found colonization in the modern sense of the world. The JCA legally purchased land in multiple countries and helped Jews in danger of programs to emigrate and legally enter those countries. Destination countries included Canada, Argentina, US, Brazil, Turkey and Cyprus as well as Israel.
Words drift through the years. Currently, nobody uses the word colony as anything except a coordinated effort by a country to invade another and take over it's land. The US and South Africa clearly started this way so it is ludicrous to claim that they are different. Meanwhile, the Jews arrived primarily as legal immigrants. If legal immigration is considered an invasion then many of us in this forum are guilty.
