I'll take a short break from insulting everyone in sight and ask a legit question

I'm curious about what the naysayers would consider to be an allowable level of criticism of AIPAC as a lobbying entity specifically and Israel in general as a nation-state. Money talks in the United States Congress, so if it's anti-Semitic to talk about the money that they spend to influence Congress because of historical caricatures about Jews and money, how does one even broach the topic? AIPAC is the largest foreign policy-related donor to congress at $3.5 million in 2018 (UNICEF is next at 744k), and they also pay for members to visit Israel. Is Bernie Sanders an anti-Semite for being critical of the way Israel treats the Palestinians? Does someone need to be Jewish in order to criticize Israel's government?

Because there are now hundreds of thousands of Jewish settlers in the West Bank there is no coherent state that the Palestinians could create. The one state solution where Palestinians enjoy equal rights in a democratic Israel is the best possible outcome.

But that would mean Palestinian self-determination and only the Israelis are allowed to have that.

I guess they should have taken the deal decades ago

Tough shit

Palis have rights in Israel today. Try again. They also have jobs and aren't strapping TNT to their children

Amazing what a difference that makes

Can white people criticize Blacks?

We're trying to play by your rules

If you support the people who want to slaughter Jews you might be anti semitic

If you belong to a semitic religion that wants to slaughter Jews you are the issue

The origin of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is essentially a land dispute but actually every Muslim wants to slaughter Jews because Islam. Just bigoted bullshit from Race who has never even been to Israel.

So when the Muslims supported Hitler it was because of Israel?

Check your timeline

It is because of Islam going back centuries

If you can't even admit that then get the fuck out of here
Support for Germany during the war wasn’t because they shared an ideology for wanting to exterminate the jews but because of French and British colonialism in the region following Sykes-Picot and British sponsorship of a Jewish state in Palestine from the Balfour declaration. Gandhi wrote friendly letters to Hitler for the same anti-colonial reasons.

Going back centuries there were plenty of Jewish communities living peacefully side by side with Muslims throughout the Ottoman Empire.

Not surprising you believe Bibi’s false narrative about the history of the conflict. He stepped in it by claiming that the Grand Mufti of Palestine gave Hitler the idea for the holocaust. You’re not far from making the same BS claims.
Maybe you can explain why the majority of the Muslim world wants to exterminate the Jews then? And have actually tried several times?
You have said multiple times you want to exterminate Muslims. How are you any better?

Maybe you have missed all the "death to America" Mooselimb regimes out there. I don't like people that want everyone dead or converted to their religion. Here we call them enemies. There was a reason for the Crusades. HTH

They are discriminated against in their daily lives. Something you would know if you have actually been there.

Interfaith marriages are illegal in Israel. The IDF harasses them daily.

There’s a wave of settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank going on right now. The nation state law passed last summer codifies the superior status of Jews in Israel.

You have a vision of Israel that is completely at odds with reality but is common with Americans that gorge right-wing media and swallow Likud talking points.

Read the Koran moron.

So they deserve it? Nice

The Arab and Persian world have used the Palis far worse than Israel could dream of. Iran openly calls for the destruction of Israel and America because they don't want a solution. Instead of building a nation that Palis allowed themselves to be pawn thinking they would get it all

My "vision" of Israel is that I'd live there 100 times before I lived in a Muslim shit hole

Of course its racism, JFC

Arab citizens of Israel,[3] or Arab Israelis, are Israeli citizens who are Arab. Many Arab citizens of Israel self-identify as Palestinian and commonly self-designate themselves as Palestinian citizens of Israel or Israeli Palestinians,[4][5] According to a 2017 survey, only 16% of the Arab population prefers the term "Israeli Arab", while the largest and fastest growing proportion prefers "Palestinian in Israel". A notable percentage prefers Palestinian Arab, rejecting entirely the identity of "Israeli".[6] The traditional vernacular of most Arab citizens, irrespective of religion, is Levantine Arabic, including Lebanese Arabic in the North of Israel, Palestinian dialect of Arabic in Central Israel and Bedouin dialects across the Negev desert; having absorbed much Hebrew loanwords and phrases, the modern dialect of Arab citizens of Israel is defined by some as the Israeli Arabic dialect.[7] Most Arab citizens of Israel are functionally bilingual, their second language being Modern Hebrew. By religious affiliation, most are Muslim, particularly of the Sunni branch of Islam. There is a significant Arab Christian minority from various denominations as well as the Druze, among other religious communities.[8]

According to Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics, the Arab population in 2013 was estimated at 1,658,000, representing 21% of the country's population.[2] The majority of these identify themselves as Arab or Palestinian by nationality and Israeli by citizenship.[9][10][11] Arab citizens of Israel mostly live in Arab-majority towns and cities; with eight of Israel's ten poorest cities being Arab. The vast majority attend separate schools to Jewish Israelis, and Arab political parties have never joined a government coalition.[12][13] Many have family ties to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as well as to Palestinian refugees in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.[14] Galilee Bedouins, Negev Bedouins and the Druze tend to identify more as Israelis than other Arab citizens of Israel.[15][16][17][18]

The Arabs living in East Jerusalem and the Druze in the Golan Heights, occupied by Israel in the Six-Day War of 1967 and later annexed, were offered Israeli citizenship, but most have refused, not wanting to recognize Israel's claim to sovereignty. They became permanent residents instead.[19] They have the right to apply for citizenship, are entitled to municipal services and have municipal voting rights.[20]

So it's Israel that constantly provokes violent reactions from the peace-loving Palestinians, not the other way around.

Brainwashing complete.
