Apologies for the long title! There are so many awful things happening to the Palestinians in the West Bank, the Christians in Israel and others.

I thought there was already a thread detailing this but now can’t find it, apologies if I am missing it. Or it may have already been full.

Here is a clip of Israeli minister of finance, Bezelal Smotrich, vowing to topple Netanyahu’s government and calling for genocidal violence in the West Bank.

I've Seen Every Jerusalem Flag March in Last 16 Years. This One Was the Ugliest

In previous years, officials made some effort to keep things calm. This year, it appeared that the youths were given free rein to shout racist slogans, to run riot and to attack anyone they came across

The Flag March on Jerusalem Day is an accurate thermometer of the condition of Israeli society. It measures the levels of hatred, racism and violence in the religious Zionist society and the tolerance of the police and the rest of society to these traits. This year's diagnosis is terminal. Wednesday's march was one of the most violent and ugliest I have seen – and I have witnessed every single one over the past 16 years.

They posted the link, I can comment on it. People often comment on the news source when a link is posted.

Ok, thank you for explaining.
From my point of view, as I had been following the related news story in a trusted Israeli newspaper, I was interested in the photograph itself.

What does a bio have to do with the photograph of the occurrence though, which has also been reported elsewhere?

here is a link to a photo taken of the same incident but from a different angle.

It’s just like the kkk attacking black people in the south, when you think about it.

@ScrollingLeaves they do look very young, don’t they? I’m not sure of who they are there without parents or anything, it seems strange. I wonder if they have even come straight out of school or something?

ISRAEL: Haaretz journalist Nir Hasson was attacked by far-right Jewish youth taking part in Jerusalem's Flag Parade. Several assailants knocked Hasson to the ground and kicked him before Border Police officers intervened. Hours before the parade officially launched, hundreds of young men streamed through the Old City’s Muslim Quarter, chanting "Death to Arabs" and violently attacking Palestinians, journalists and peace activists. Some also vandalized Palestinian shops.

In these videos of the flag parade
there seem to be a lot of very , very young men. A lot look almost like school boys. Is it a special group?

Not entirely sure why posting links to Hamas supporters accounts is fine, but pointing out that the links are to Hamas supporters accounts is not.

@Finallyloggedin and that's the experience of people with an actual escort at points. The two hijabi ladies walking into that have no protection at all.

People are shouting genocidal references there.

Alon-Lee Green: “We were beaten by settlers, the police detained us, there is no end to curses and threats - but we do not give up. Our presence here, Jews and Palestinians, in the humanitarian guard is important not only to protect the Palestinian residents of Old Jerusalem, but because it also shows the struggle for our society: a society of hatred and death, or of life and hope.”

From Haaretz (an Israeli newspaper)

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is bound and determined to escalate security tensions in the Middle East and is using every tool in his arsenal to foment war on additional fronts. As if the existing fronts and the existing military and diplomatic challenges Israel faces weren't enough, Ben-Gvir insisted – now of all times – on holding Jerusalem's annual Flag March along its usual combustible route, through the Old City's Damascus Gate and the Muslim Quarter. He himself is expected to participate, along with his activists, to ensure that provocations happen.

He is dragging Israel down.

@ScrollingLeaves oh my goodness, it’s just awful and never ending, isn’t it?

i saw a video of Trump greeting a famous boxer the other day. The boxer (sorry, I have no idea of the name but I will try to check) said to Trump “I know you will end the war on Gaza” and Trump replied “it’s over, it will end”. Which I imagine he has zero intention of actually doing, but the lies just roll off his tongue.

Not that Biden has been any better. They are just both awful and seem completely dead to the suffering they are causing, don’t they?

How corrupt this U.S. funding system is.
This is from Haaretz (Israeli newspaper)
The whole article can be found by putting the headline into archive ph.

Trump Is Desperate for Miriam Adelson's Cash. Her Condition: West Bank Annexation

The former president and convicted felon is holding a fire sale on future presidential authority. Miriam Adelson wants to be his biggest donor, but in return she wants Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank

She is an extremely rich donor.

Trump formerly ordered the US Embassy to be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to fulfil the bribe from her (now deceased) husband.

The New York Times broke the story that in 2016, after Trump won the Republican primary but was left without donors to face Hillary Clinton, Adelson offered him a deal: $20 million in exchange for moving the US embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. This was the beginning of a fruitful and rewarding relationship for both men. All in all, Adelson heaped over $90 million on Trump, the embassy moved to Jerusalem (against the advice of Trump's aides), and Adelson became Trump's most influential donor.

A poster on another thread posted an Australian TV political question and answer show. On this, the Australian journalist Maher Mugrabi explained how misleading it was on one level to say there had been peace before Oct 7, because in the West Bank 2023 had been the most violent year since 2005. 80 children were killed alone!

@Finallyloggedin and @malengring
The problem is the suppression of the international press and the probable targeting of journalists by IDF in Gaza.@malengring . Twitter/x is the guy standing on a box on Hyde corner. He has his own agenda. Only the most naïve would not take this into account and assume that certain amount of spin has not been put on the account of the incident. But it doesn’t mean that that the events did not happen.
There is very little in the English language Israeli press about the events above apart from a feeble defence in the Times of Israel.
It is not in the Israeli government interests for Americans to see what suffering it is inflicting on Palestinian civilians.

Why did Hezbollah fire at Northern Israel? It was in response to the IDF using phosphorus to trigger fires in South Lebanon.

And no mention in the media of Northern Israel being on fire because of th incendiaries fired by Hezbollah. Not everything one reads is ‘news’ or ‘true’. Hamas make a lot of it up. For example, they had to admit that Israel hadn’t bombed the hospital and also had to admit that the figures of fatalities was way below 35000
