It is unacceptable online behavior. You can do that with a private gathering of your friends who understand you, but in a public forum civil discussion is called for.

Thank you.
Anyone in Israel who murders or attempts murder upon others is dangerous to civilians. If the children weren't housed in a juvenile facility, then I don't condone that. Sad, probably their parents sent them off to be martyred as terrorist suicide bombers. Kids are sometimes used for that.

If Israel had an interest in performing genocide in Gaza, don't you think they would have used their advanced nuclear arms? Yet they didn't.

I am interested in source materials. People who quote invalid news media have learned incorrect beliefs. Even traditionally respected news outlets often print misleading and/or unchecked false news stories nowadays.

You need to get your facts right by going back more than 77 years in history.

Through recorded history there has always been a Jewish presence in Israel. Archeological digs and their findings provide the proof.

Bluesky is swarming with antisemitism. As a retired educator, I'm here in part to educate, knowing most people are mired in their viewpoints and unreachable. But if I can reach just a few, and prod a bit more than a few to think critically rather than following their herd, then progress is made.

The hostages are peaceful civilians, some murdered, raped, tortured, all kidnapped from Israel.

Israel imprisons people of any race who intentionally murder or attempt to kill others of any race.

What ages? Palestinians abuse their children. They groom some to become suicide bombers. Children's textbooks and schools, including UNWRA, teach kids to hate Jews and to kill them, and train them to use firearms for that purpose.
I do feel bad for the kids. They are abused by their elders.

Your remark lumps all Jewish people as the same.

Your stats are incorrect.

Your calling me a Nazi indicates your ignorance as to what a Nazi is.

Your posting is antisocial and innapropriate for the civil discourse of an online forum.

Using one of the Israeli parties in an attempt to prove they represent all of Israel is the same as using the Republican party in an attempt to prove they represent all of the people in the U.S.
