According zionists “anti-semite” is antisemtical. You have to use antisemite now.

Just pointing it out… you know, before you look stupid.

Glad I don't qualify as an anti Semite, but just to add a side note to all this:

When I was a kid, we used to play a world domination board game called Risk, it contained a roughly drawn map of the world. In the center was a brown area called the middle east, most of us jokingly referred to it as the middle "beast" little did I know at the time how right we were. Scripture tells us that God created the heavens and the earth, which would suggest God is perfectly capable of preforming his works just as well in Moscow, Montreal, or Mexico City as Jerusalem, yet so much blood has been spilled over this same stupid strip of land for so long just because both sides are convinced God is on their side in their quest to occupy this land. My solution would be to take the entire temple mount area, transport it to Jupiter, and tell both sides "if you can't play nice, no one can have it" I have no desire to go to the Middle East and want nothing whatsoever to do with it! 😕

Gosh, I remember playing Risk, too.

I think Temple Mount should be sold to Disney and turned into an amusement park. You know, theme rides (Noah's Flood, Mohammed subdues Medina, etc.), torture dungeon, AI animated- 3D-holographic figures of Pilate and Caiaphus, a restaurant called THE LAST SUPPER, and so on.

Hamas has not kept all of the hostages. They have released some and are releasing more very soon from what I have read. Moreover, Hamas said they would release all of the civilian hostages if Israel stops bombing. Hamas also said they would release ALL of the hostages, including Israeli soldiers in return for the release of all Palestinian prisoners in Israel.

You are wildly misinformed.

From the link below:

His efforts gave way to the adoption of the United Nations Genocide Convention in December 1948, which came into effect in January 1951.

Article Two of the convention defines genocide as "any of the following acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such":

Killing members of the group
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

The convention also imposes a general duty on states that are signatories to "prevent and to punish" genocide.

It appears that you do not know the meaning of the word.

Which, you know, is ironic.

Jeez. You too?

Yes, I know that Arabs are also technically Semitic, which is why I generally use the term "Jew hater" but the term is used ubiquitously and synonymously with anti-Jew and "anti-Jew" sounds clunky, especially in this context.

You are just plain moronic.

Have you ever been to a refugee campnin your life? Ever lived through a bombing or in a warzone?

You’re an armchair general who thinks in black & white scenarios and has no quims about murdering thousands of children. And no idea of what the long term effects of that are going to be.

A mere observation.
I’m sure you used your gasmask correctly.

Did the Kibbutzniks enjoy your wacky concepts of economy? Or did they just feed you vodka so they didn’t have to listen to you?
