Hyperbole has turned the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into a contest of moral absolutes. When everything is genocide, apartheid, and absolute evil, what happens to historical truth?
It's actually one of the least complex. One side wants to live in peace. The other is death cult committed to wanton slaughter. Why the world fails to see the reality of this is the question of the century.
And for sure…performing in that costume was something he totally understood and is like performing in Black face. It’s just pure bigotry. Apology not accepted.
And what to make of poor Ed Sheeran. Should have just invited Gene Simmons to open for him and let him sing HaTikvah.
Not so "poor Ed Sheeran." In his vast wisdom , he defamed Israel's response as "unjustifiable and disproportionate." So one more know-nothing judges Israel and finds it sorely wanting.
Agreed completely. People refer to it as such because both sides are powerful, and they just don’t wanna upset anyone. Calling it “complicated” is an attempt to alleviate responsibility on whatever you’re going to say next.
How many temples in America not to.mention Jewish day schools teach this history? There were plenty of jews in Brooklyn yesterday led by Lander who need some education as well. Nice touch wearing their kippahs though to show they were denigrating israel "as jews".
Your question answers itself: we Jews are shamefully ignorant of our history and heritage. And just about every Jewish institution is at fault for that.
Hyperbole has been harming our society for decades, but the Left has taken it to a whole new level - a societal wrecking level. When your hyperbole becomes totally detached from reality, language gets destroyed, communication fails, cooperation becomes impossible, un-reconcilable division becomes inevitable, and such a society (to quote Lincoln) cannot stand. So thank you for that lunatic Left. 👏
Wow. Amazing article - wish more understood this history. I know in my bones we just tried to get along without leaving (my father's side). I'm grateful for the return of Jews to their homeland. It should have been seen as a blessing after all the conquests. It could have been seen as getting the inhabitants over the line to a better existence. Of course, people don't like change. That's a fact and perhaps the formation of Israel wasn't perfect. Nothing ever is. Unfortunately though some chose not to see the blessing and continued to perpetuate the aggrieved narrative. 😭
This is such a clear, easy to follow, factual summing up of the history of Israel. I wish everyone who considers themself an expert on this topic would read it. Thank you!

Sorry I was tongue in cheek calling him poor Ed Sheeran—hard to see that in a post I guess :)

This is in NO WAY, a complex issue!

Yes the question was rhetorical just as the disgrace in Brooklyn was predictable.
I understood that your question was rhetorical: My comment was intended to express agreement and reinforcement.
I figured. If i implied otherwise my apologies.

Not complicated at all! Israel is dealing with IslamoNazis in its very backyard and it has been too tolerant in dealing with the problem.
