if you're still equating Israel with South Africa, maybe you misunderstood my post.

Still equating?!

2 Lucky Hostages
Freed by the IDF.

it justifies israel going in to Rafah. Hamas obviously knew this would happen or they wouldnt have placed hostages there

The more I hear from Netanyahu the more dismayed I become at this sad heartbreaking conflict.
Just so heartbreaking on both sides, for Israeli citizens and Palestinians too.

Of course it's great that some hostages were freed.

I'm talking about the overall rhetoric of Netanyahu, who I'm sorry but I feared trouble once he was elected again.
I see him as a major problem for Israel's standing and for a genuine peace.

He's even now heading in the opposite direction to one of Israel's biggest allies, the USA.

I can't see any real compromise or healing with Netanyahu leading Israel's government.
So more slaughtering of innocents, to continue under him.

I think freed is the wrong word...rescued is better.

Israel is not an apartheid state and anyone who thinks it is needs to acquaint themselves with what apartheid is. Israel does not discriminate by ethnicity. Arab Israelis have equal rights under the law. No Israeli laws dictate segregation, not in education, not in medical treatment and Jews and Arabs live alongside each other in many cities in Israel. Arabs and Israelis have equal citizenship, either can vote and hold office; an Arab party is currently part of the government coalition. There are also Arab Muslims serving in the IDF. Arab citizens have freedom of movement in Israel, there are no laws restricting Arabs from living in any part of Israel. Mixed marriages are not against the law.

Give this guy a watch. He fought apartheid in SA and served in Mandela's first government.

He's Jewish, and his mothers family was wiped out in Auschwitz.

Isreal are making some good progress. Luckily I don’t think this will take much longer.

A Jewish young man
in Manchester interviewed on Ch4HDnews
last night,
said he is now considering leaving the UK.

He said a Van will wind down its window
having a go at him every other day.


He said he has
had enough of it.

I really believe that those who support Zionism, believe that to not support Zionism is to not support Jews. I support Jews but will never support Zionism which is merely a political ideology. This man says it all and its worth a listen.

Exactly. I think people purposely conflate the two to try and discredit opinions and conversation on it. There's plenty of Jewish people who disagree with Zionism as well.
