A shameless, lying people. Eternal victims with nothing to show for except hatred, violence, misery, making their raison d’être thé destruction of other peoples & religions.

Another myth: The Palestinians want a two state solution. They say they want their own state, but they also want the so-called right of return to Israel. Sort of like having their cake and eating it too. That would essentially turn Israel into an Arab majority state that would soon be another Muslim country and probably merge with whatever "Palestinian" state was created.

Excellent article with an accurate account of how the world has embraced terrorism. The question is, Can the tide be turned or are prayers the only thing left for Israel and the Jewish people?

It will take a major "makeover" of Western educational systems to reverse the prevailing woke dogma that indoctrinates our youth. Anti-Semitism and the false Palestinian narratives are only a part of this dogma. So is the belief that all whites are oppressors, Western history and culture must be cancelled, capitalism is bad and transgenderism should be encouraged in children. This reversal must build at the grassroots level with parents refusing to send their youngsters to schools that preach "woke". Conservatives must finally engage in the activism that leftists have traditionally excelled in.

Excelllent article, but what does Israel do to seize the initiative?

"Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, announced the seizure of 10 square kilometers (3.8 square miles) of Palestinian territory in the West Bank on Friday."(source: Washington Post)

Such initiatives at this very moment are not very helpful when you want to regain control of the narratives. I wish some people in Israel had read your article "There are better options than a 2-state solution", mr. Kaplan.

Many many sources i have seen support this account of facts and (mostly) undebatable observations. Yet, to make an article of this kind much more useful in the fake news storm, would be to make it undeniable for readers opposing or doubting this narrative.

That would mean, numerous footnotes, sources, etc., like a small bibliography underneath it for the general public.

Most of the inside reading this already knows almost everything (Although i still found it educational after studying the subject for 32+ months straight ! Tx for that!), but most of the outsiders, whom we need to understand this is an almost perfectly (if incomplete) factual account, need something more to know why this is credible and accurate, as opposed to the dominant narrative of hysteria and fabrication they've been fed for the last 2.5yrs (or 80, or 150, or 2000).

Seems we’re finally landing in the awakening phase of the information war.

Future of Jewish, Andrew Fox, Joanna Landau and many more are now publishing about engaging. Mosab Hassan Yousef, Natasha Hausdorff, Brigitte Gabriel, the daughter of Hamas (forget her name), Ayaan, and many others have been giving the right example for years, we should now globalize it.

The Israelifadah. From the river to the sea, Israel will be free.

A 1-billion dollar donation as a budget for such an effort passed by my posts recently.

We’re slowly but surely waking up. Support, spread and participate!

If Goebbels was alive today he would be mad jealous of how adept Hamas and Palestinians have become at spreading propaganda

Just wanted to correct the statement that "Israel is the only country in the world built partly on purchased land." The US made several purchases (Louisiana Purchase, Florida Purchase, and Alaska Purchase) as did a handful of other countries.

Israel is the occupier. The problem is you now have several generations whom have gone back to understand the complete history of Palestine & passed it down. An occupied people have a right to resist. I fear for my Jewish friends now that Israel has demolished 70% of the Palestinians land, culture and even hospitals. Purposefully destroyed ancient documents & artifacts. Now starving them culminates in a clearly seen ethnic cleansing & genocide.

Excellent. Very well done and informative

Ellen Poor's avatar

please correct this. I think it should be ethnically rather than ethically.

Otherwise, excellent article

Ellen Poor's avatar

sorry, here is the part in the article: ...there are no Jews in Palestinian territories because they were ethically cleansed.
