I must say I'm not surprised ... the Israeli:Gaza death ratio is something like 1:50. Jews can expect more such attacks over the forthcoming years. Yes, Palestine/Gaza 'started' this latest conflict but a 1:50 response is not a proportionate one and the mass killing of innocent Palestinians did nothing to supress the militants, it probably increased their following. How many young survivors are now motivated to revenge the mass murder of innocent members of their family. Jews are already referring to the "killing of innocent people" but isn't that what they have done in Gaza? I'm not in any way condoning October 7th but what Israel did in response will have just added fuel to this fire.
The Jewish State of Israel has an Iron Dome to protect it's citizens against reprisals for their actions, but it doesn't have an Iron Dome to protect people of Jewish Faith around the world whether they support the policies and actions of the government of Israel or not. As a result they have all now become targets thanks to the disproportionate genocidal actions of the Israeli Government against Palestinians and the indiscriminate killing of Lebanese, Iranians and anyone else they consider to be an enemy of the State of Israel...with bullets and bombs all supplied by the good 'ol US of A.
If I were Jewish (which I am not), and I did not live in Israel with the Iron Dome and other protections, in the interests of self-preservation, I would never show my faith anywhere outside of my front door.
I would expect the planned Israeli:Gaza death ratio is more like 1:100 to act as a totally disproportionate deterrent - 'you kill one of ours we will kill 100 of yours'.
I re-watched 'Bowling for Columbine (2002)' by Michael Moore the other day...a timely reminder that the USA have learnt nothing since 9/11.
I will re-watch 'Zero Days' in the next few days as a further reminder.
The ultimate goal of Israel is to remove all Palestinians from both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank by shooting them, starving them and making life impossible with no electricity, water, sanitation etc., then taking those lands for themselves.
After this they will start to take the country of Lebanon for themselves - they have already imposed an area in southern Lebanon that is a no-go 'buffer zone' for the Lebanese and this will continue to extend northwards.
"Since the 2024 war, the demarcation line between Lebanon and Israel has become a no-man's land of devastation."
Anyone who watches and participates in the Eurovision Song Contest knows that Israel cheats every year in the public vote by buying PAYG mobile phone SIM cards in the countries throughout Europe that sell them over the counter, and then multi-vote for themselves.
As a result of this, the EBU have changed the voting rules this year but they allowed the continued participation of Israel, who happen to be one of the sponsors through 'Morrocan Oil'.
"Five countries—Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain—have pulled out of the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest in protest over Israel's continued participation, citing humanitarian concerns and conflicts with their broadcasting values. This marks the biggest boycott in the contest's history, with public broadcasters in these nations stating they cannot support the event under the current circumstances."
