“We plan to eliminate the State of Israel and establish a purely Palestinian state. We will make life unbearable for the Jews. ... They will have no choice but to leave.”
All you have to do if you are too lazy to study history is read the two Hamas charters of 1989 and 2017. And if you choose to read history to count the at least 6 times that Arabs have refused two states.

A year from now we could all be playing golf in Gaza. And if we happen to hit a golf ball into Israel, nobody gets hit on the head with it because the Iron Dome will zap it mid-air :)
Beware how our liberal good-natured 'Live and Let Live' outlook on politics here in The West, can be used against us. The West is not Genocidal, however hateful Nazism was. I repeat, we are NOT genocidal. Hamas however IS. So keep ticking along, Israel! You are a beacon to the civilised world how you survive in the Roughest Region in the world.
Thank you again John. Your understanding and communication of the complicated relationships and range of opinions - depending on who's being asked, is broad. Unfortunately the progressives chanting from the river to the sea have little understanding of any of the nuance, or authentic opinion, on the ground
When Pal leaders accuse Israel of apartheid, racism, terror and genocide, it reminds me of this joke: Two guys are sitting at a bar. One tells his friend, "Look at those 2 drunks at the other end of the bar. In 10 years, that might be us!" His friend remarks, "Dude, the only thing down there is a mirror."
The”real history “ ( i.e. what “facts” are important ) in this dispute as in so much recent political dialog are completely in the eye of the beholder. Where you live determines what you believe. Religious faith over the centuries has Ben the source of tremendous good and incredible evil. What is incontrovertible for any objective person is that the Hamas brutal massacre was an act of incredible cruelty , inhumanity and savagery that further poisoned the well, and that Israel’s response was understandable and justified.
Yesterday Shabbat Parsha gave us the eternal struggle against Amalek .Amalek was a grandson of Esau . Amalek is the leading force of evil, Israel is the leading force of good . The struggle of Israel and Amalek is the eternal struggle of good versus evil. We have the Devine assuarance that HASHEM will erase the memory of Amalek from the face of the earth, the important is that the time will come when evil will ultimately be defeated and disappear . We are living NOW the “ End of Days “ in the Torah and Kabbalah. These are difficult and hard times. HASHEM ALMIGHTY is testing and uniting Jews for the near future. HASHEM has the FULL control of everything everywhere all the time 🙌🙏🔥The Third Temple and the Kingdom of Israel ( Davidic Dynasty) are eternal and Sanhedrin is also in the Third Temple. We have to remember that two and half Jewish tribes have their land share on the eastern side of Jordan River. HASHEM promised Eretz Yisrael to Jews forever 🇮🇱✡️❤️✡️🇮🇱🙌🙏🔥Final peace comes when Shechinah is dwelling in the Third Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem Very Soon Baruch HaShem 🙌🔥🙏🙌🔥🙏IT IS ALl ABOUT JERUSALEM AND MOUNT MORIAH 🙌🔥🙏🇮🇱✡️❤️✡️🇮🇱🙌🔥🙏🙌🙏🔥🙌🙏🔥
Thank you. Pardon me, but Simcha Torah aka 'Oct 7, 2023' I began to say and to post: A) kumbayah is past its Use-By-Date; and, B) especially for Jewish persons (like me) but not only we all need to get "The BIG Lesson" (which is likely dozens of individual lessons for each person); and, C) "Now What" - note no question mark. You mentioned "Palestinian Territories". Even though I understand the polite educated reason for writing that name I now have my own preference for that area. Note: 'polite' 'educated' 'reason' is how the Professionals including Medical Doctors and Scientists; and Professors and Teachers of all sorts fell into line with the nazsties edicts against Jewish people primarily. Those edicts and their polite, educated, reasoned acceptance began in 1933. The Dumbocraps in the USA has long been filled with polite, educated, reasoning 'rational' devotees for decades. All while doing a litany of misleading and delusional 'well meaning' actions. Your fine essay needs a 'some day' shadow essay by a team of Survivors of The Envelope and Nova Festival when they are ready if ever to tell us any new realizations they can guide us and officials with. I say that because in your clarity and politeness.... there seems to lurk an Out-Of-Date dollop of kumbayahism. Possibly? As you mention and use the officially 'acceptable' term "Palestinian Terroritories" here is a leading question: On which ancient Land do the so-called 'palestinian territories currently, momentarily, reside? Another leading question Who or what are the 'palestinian people'? What is their recent and ancient history? If you don't like 'palestinian territories' as a term or so-called 'palestinians' as a term then please consider the same leading questions but using yours and the 'accepted' official terms "Palestinian Territories" and "Palestinians".

Its like Alice in Wonderland. Everything the Arabs are guilty of they accuse the Jews of.
And, sadly, they've got away with it for years.
The legendary Abba Eban once wrote that “the Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.” It was true then and true now.
Many thanks for the guest post, Joshua, and the many supportive comments from readers.
Thanks for this beautifully written piece. It should be required reading at all schools!

Completely true! I will cut it short - No Jews should mean they must leave and leave the Jews in peace!
Looks like that’s part of Trump’s plan.
I love the idea of that!! This nightmare has gone on and on! October 7 has be a line in the sand!
It’s the only solution that will work

The pure Palestinian state already exists - its Transjordan...

The Arabs are the Nazis of this century

If that's the case, then expel all Palestinians from Judea, Samaria and Gaza first!

There’s a big difference between them and Christian Nationalists who are the Nazification of Christianity.
