Mochash = An acronymed word in hebrew means the exit/end of saturday, saturday in the evening and night before the new week.

And families that burned alive in their homes you will also doubt? Isn't it outrageous enough already? I really don't understand your motivation here.

So too US and Europe whenever had to fight against guerilla.

*Some five Arab countries. This is the equation you see in front of your eyes in 1967.

Now replace a superpower with "Iran" and Russia with "Israel" (×100s tinier) and now you understand why Israel wants to stop Iran.

@Karmadhi West bank which by the way was taken from Jordan, is not even close to be the root of the Palestinian terror. Your analogue is wrong in my opinion. The occupation of at least the western strip of west bank was necessary for survival reason and existential threat what isn't at all the case with putin.

I am for two state solution but he is right in the sense that giving palestinians ALL of West Bank will be a security suicide due to its strategic height and strategic depth, what means the quarter or third western part of west bank has most of it to stay under Israeli rule. The settlements project is not purely "evil" thing but actually has valid reason to it originally. The ever continuity of it is the problem.

Yes many people don't appreciate how sophisticated terror organizations and hamas particullary defense mechanisms are.

@Vrubel Specifically when I wrote that we were lucky I thought about the name and identification as "Israel" 😄

We were lucky haha

What that shameless is this kind of canceling attitude towards people feelings and sense of belonging and reducing it down to some DNA test. Jews lived here for centuries as a majority and after that for centuries as a minority.

Why do you assume the left is wiser than the center-left?

Former Second in Command of IDF (2014-2017) Yair Golan: " I wanted to take this opportunity to write you a few words, because I hear your cry and see your pain. I hurt him along with you. The destruction of this evil government is unfathomable, but I am a great believer in man, and I believe in us as a people. I believe in our ability to heal and fix. We have a wonderful nation, a nation of heroes and superheroines, and you are part of the correction that Israel so desperately needs. We deserve a leadership that cares about us and our lives, a brave leadership that will make difficult decisions and chart a course. I believe with all my heart that this is not fate and we have the ability to change the situation. I promise you this is what we will do after we send this evil default government home. I pledge to you: we will return Israel to its citizens and sanity to Israel; We will return hope to the hearts and confidence to the streets. We will return the abductees to their loved ones, some for rehabilitation and some for burial. We will return the smile and the pride and everything that was taken from us by a cruel, cynical and detached government that never stops running over and trampling us. We will restore the north and the south and comfort the broken heart. This is our home and this is our beloved country, and we will fight for it with courage and determination and will not give up. forever. We will return the state to its servants, and we will eliminate any discrimination whatsoever, whether in the military service or in the civil service. We will return the person to the center and welfare to the citizen. We will return the police to serve us, the citizens, and not the heartless politicians. We will restore the supremacy of the law and respect for the law and order to the streets of the country and the basic respect for every citizen, regardless of religion, race or gender. Along with all these: we will move Israel forward - in security, society, economy and foreign relations. Israel will serve its citizens and be a flourishing and prosperous exemplary society, in all areas of life, just as the founding fathers dreamed of it and just as we all truly deserve. I know this and believe it because I meet and hear you and you in almost every corner of the country. I ask you tonight: wear a white shirt, sit down to the holiday meal with your loved one and raise your head. Our determined and just fight to save the country will win. The light will win. Hope will win. Yours, Yair Golan. " Full post here (in hebrew, need to be translated): https://x.com/YairGolan1/status/1800524377995288683

@Hatfort I think you are wrong about Israel. The views about Israel even today are polarized and diverse.

@LSD-Rumi This is true to the far or even the classic right-wing, but the trend of getting closer to the center seems to me as healthy and a good thing.

Yes this is the problem with our method when every crazy knesset member can threaten to leave the coalition with all of his party members if the prime minister won't listen to him, so there is a lot of exortion here and kind of a tail that leads the dog. Every coalition which its members amount reduces to 60 or below will collapse and Israel will go to elections.

@Karmadhi You can see objectively in Wikipedia how many knesset members Ben Gvir and Smutrich parties got. Edit Ok I checked now 6+7 together 13 out of 120 which means ~11% of the population.

Yes such an insane cartoonish dehumanization no one takes seriously anymore.

That is why two state solution is the prefered one.

Yes maybe in the cabinet. But at least the coalition will shrink.

Is identity just a random thing or created for a reason? I think it is the latter.

But this is the mechanism the collective memory must have to be preserved.

But isn't the Bible also a deep reflection of the Jew's average state of mind and sense of belonging to here? I mean, it is circular.
