Of course there is a totally unproportional judgment of Israel in comparison to the vast majority of war zone conflicts outhere, blatantly uncompatible to far worse killing ratios in them, to which the explanation - to this special judgment - cannot be found in the logical world but in the spiritual one. Anyway, just like you mentioned, me too have no problem at all with fair critisism, as long as the discussion is reasonable and not devloved into demonization, and it is still possible occassionaly here, though not most of the time.

According to Gaza health ministry?

+1 ❤

I don't understand what you mean. I saw now that the conservative assesments give Gaza war a ratio of roughly 1:2. 66% of the killed are civilians and 33% hamas terrorists. Even 1.5-1.7 civilians to every terrorist according to Israeli assesments from January-February.

@Karmadhi What is low and high profile in this regard?

Who is the 1 and who is the 10?

@Karmadhi If you were honest you would not say "murdering" but rather a neutral word like killing because the chance is high that this was a mistake.

In meanwhile, learn from the greatest teachers - your thoughts and emotions. But anytime there is a new vid this is always very interesting to me.

Here in the left is Meirav Cohen who is a knesset member from this party. She told that in her opinion the number one issue is the hostages and that we must keep this issue on top, because the hostages families are just "dying inside". She said that she does not understand how our soldiers came out of Gaza at the negotiation time, because it weaken the pressure on hamas. She said she respect the right wing perspective too even if does not agree with, and that "Reality does not found only in one side because reality is complex".

For sure there is. Bias is Experience too. It goes both ways. A personal experience from your angle. Especially an Israeli one when the issue is Israel-Palestine. You can call it bias, I would call it an important piece of the puzzle you cannot just overlook and actually you need. I am sure that every one here has his own life experience that design his emotions about many important issues, including this. Everyone see the issue from a slightly different angle what is inevitable.

Some points from our centrist party "There Is a Future" ("yesh atid" in hebrew) event for Passover holiday, to make you know us better. A party I tend to agree with its values the most. The woman in the left function is mainly about the environment, she told us about the importance of helping the enviroment in our municipal (Modi'in city) area and to not let the building process to take over the natural areas here.

Or, that is just that your sense of survival doesn't depend on what comes out of the jungle in the southern coast and its residents who allow it. Or maybe that view is very limited if so little Israelis agree with it.

This is by itself a very judgmental statement. Every side will look at himself.

The no1 word I heard in Israeli media everywhere until oct 6th. That is what Israel wanted all the time to make hamas and Hezbollah feel. Deterrence. Israel wanted to sink in a comfortable western life and avoid war at all cost. Too much I would say. That is also why Israel has invested 1 Billion dollar on a fence around Gaza and more Billion in an underground anti tunnel obstacle. Israel didn't want this war at all, and did everything to run from a war. Unfornunately this cenception has been broken on oct 7th.

Yes they are angels. How they sponsor terror so calculately and quietly.

Agree completely.

If you represent them in that style then I don't need to explain how I feel about the other side's disadvantages in their actions and ever victimized irresponsible attitude because you already do this so well.

@Vrubel Its fascinating how it works. The more democratic and more safe a state is, the more for granted people will take it and the more attracted they will be to the "bad" (stage purple-red) guys because they represent their stages they are lacking and the least integrated in their psychy. In the same way but exactly to the opposite, the society of Iran will crave democracy and appreciate more Israel's point of view in general.

What do you mean by that?

https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/illegal-palestinian-construction-in-area-c The word "illegal" in the title is maybe biased but look at the whole article.

Problematic I won't dispute that of course, but honestly this pattern actually happens in both sides in the west bank and there is a culture of competition in building without waiting the other side permission. The palestinians have not less such buildings.

By the way the lower percentage of Jews here in the 19th century is because of, among the rest, forced Islamisation and deportations they have went through before that.

@Karmadhi You can say the same about the Palestinians that most of them are new in this region too because a little while before that they came here as work immigrants for the Ottoman rule.

@Twentyfirst This land isn't stolen at all. Jews and Arabs have lived here together during all the last centuries.
