Thank you and your observation is spot on. The bottom line, to me, is for the most part (Islamic regime’s) jealousy..

Freeing to oppressed Iranians of their oppressors was a very much needed action. Sadly the Liberal left around the globe have been sleeping at the wheel while being indoctrinated and showered in financial aid since 1978. Their ideology calls not only the destruction of Israel, but that of the so-called ‘infidels’ all over the West, where their own tolerance became the rope around their necks.

During the past 50 years their ideology grew like a cancer.

I fully stand behind Israel and the US’s determination to destroy this evil, un-western rhetoric for which we now pay the price through their anti-semitic and individual attacks.

Time to wake up..

Progressive Jews just might be a major part of the problem. They range from being disinterested, or silent nebbishes to actively supporting the progressive Jew haters...meanwhile,

Progressive Moslem agenda; ISLAM.

The moniker "Progressive" is comical. They are RE-gressives! Age old antisemitism is part and parcel of Marxism and now the Far Left espouses it--predictably.

Can't stand "victim blaming"... Something bloody awful has distracted morality away from truth.

Surely Qatari-formulated curricula widely used in American schools have a lot to do with the moral inversion among the rising generations. Parents need to go back to their school board meetings and get this fixed.

Progressive Jews found this out on 10/8/23; the one’s you supported, the one’s who you threw your weight behind, the one’s with whom you stood? Yeah, they took your money, your time and your heart and ripped all of that away. They did more than turn their backs on you. They betrayed you. Betrayed your trust, betrayed all of what you stood for.

For why? 1 reason. With many names. These days: Zio. Just another in a long list of name calling hatred.

Jew Hatred.

And, those that stay? Betray their own people, their “mishpucha”?

Those Progressive Jews, ya’ know the “good Jews”, are the most useful idiots.

"Oppressed peoples deserve self-determination. Colonised peoples deserve their own land. Those living under tyranny deserve liberation. It is a principle applied passionately across the world — for the Palestinians, for indigenous communities, for countless national movements deemed to have been historically wronged."

Determining when and where there is an instance of oppression, colonization, occupation, conquest and who merits their own country does not depend on personal belief, public opinion, media bias, political opportunism but is a matter of the application of the UN Charter and codified International Law and Customary International Law.

According to a Google search, Key Definitional Distinctions in International Law produces the following definitions:

1. Race: Generally recognized as a "social construct" rather than a biological reality, defined by physical characteristics and ancestry.

2. Ethnicity: Often defined as a group sharing a common history, culture, language, or territorial origin.

3. Nationality: Usually refers to the legal bond of citizenship to a state, rather than ethnic origin.

4. Religion/Belief: Defined broadly to include theistic, non-theistic, and atheistic beliefs, as well as the right to not profess any religion

These definitions determine what group falls under any of these categories. Obviously, if a group does not fit any of them, any claim to be oppressed, colonized, or occupied is spurious.

To keep it short and sweet, "Palestinians" do not meet the minimum legal requirements to come under any of the designated categories of race, religion, ethnicity, or nationality. They do not constitute a race as their morphology is not distinct from other regional peoples. They are not a religion: that would be Islam. They are not an ethnicity: that would be Arab. And they are not now nor ever have been a nationality as they have never formed a nation.

To be sure, such a claim will raise the hackles of liberals, social justice warriors, and the red-green axis so-called advocates, but really radicals driven by Critical Race Theory (CRT).

Nevertheless, the consequences of disregarding the application of Law impartially applied according to statue, precedence, evidence, and sound argument invites social mayhem as each independentist group vies for legitimacy through gun and bomb.

I think the issue comes with exclusion since the land promise was based on the Abrahamic Covenant. Abraham; Isaac; and Jacob includes all 3 Abrahamic Religions based on ethnicity but the state of Israel only accepts Judaism. God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac who intervened by sending a lamb foreshadowing Jesus who came 2000 years later which is Israel that’s scattered who suffered double in foreign lands for disbelief in the rejected messiah that came before the destruction of the second temple. I’ve heard from many Jewish Rabbis that they believe Isaiah 53 is referring to us who are scattered and they’re right but it was speaking about Jesus who was pierced for our iniquities too. According to Israeli government; we are considered gentiles which I find offensive since I’m not a roman but believe that God wanted our people to circumcise our hearts and cleanse our souls which is hard in the midst of persecution.
