Israel Uncovers Hamas Rocket Launchers Next to Children’s Pool, Playground

The ‘politics of respectability’ must end now for American Jews
Playing by the rules got us far. But the antisemitic tide since 10/7 means there are no rules anymore.

But following a week in which Jewish students were trapped in a library at the Cooper Union as protestors rallied on the outside and a group of pro-Palestinian protestors shut down Grand Central Station days later, many of them Jewish, American Jews today are like many of those groups. This degree of fury at the Jewish state will inevitably transform into fury at Jews everywhere; it already has. It’s like the world on day one of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Aztecs witnessing the arrival of Cortez, sunset just after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914.

This is a reset of epic and quite likely bloody proportions — and no amount of respectability is guaranteed to keep us safe.

Who would have imagined that the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust would be followed by antisemitic outbursts becoming only more common on college campuses and in city squares?

Palestine and Gaza want peace. They also want self-government and power over their own lives. They want what Israel will never allow them, equality.

They want what Israel will never allow them, equality.

At the expense of every Jewish life.

Bullshit. All they have to do is stop killing Israelis.
 
No. Why would it be? Anyone who has been constantly attacked and seen their citizens murdered for 70 years is extremely patient.
Palestinians are indeed patient. PLO/Hamas, not so much

What's clear about this is two things: The Palestinians in Gaza don't want peace and none of this would be happening if Iran and Qatar weren't funding the Palestinians to attack Israel.

If by 'Palestinians' you mean 'Hamas', then you are correct.
If the U.S weren't funding Israel to run roughshod over Palestine, none of this would be happening.

I found it ironic that an Asian kid was responsible for the death threats to all Jews on campus.

After years of hate crimes against all Asians because of trump's lies about Covid.

If anyone should understand ignorance and hate, it should be that kid.

It's a catch 22 that will never be solved. Terrorists continue to attack Israel for its atrocities, and Israel continues said atrocities, blaming terrorist attacks.

This has been going on for all of our lives, and will continue to happen long after we're dead.

There are Palestinians in the US and Europe. There are Palestinians in Israel and the West Bank. Any Palestinians in Gaza are there by choice and their chosen government is Hamas. No doubt they appreciate your support, Danny boy.

Once again you avoid the true supporter of terrorism here; Iran and Qatar. Why?

Republicans are the true supporters of terrorism.

They elected trump, so by default all Republicans are terrorists.

And you support them. Why?

Iranian and Qatari apologist changes the subject rather than agree to condemn terrorist supporting states. No doubt they appreciate your support. :thup:

Country Reports on Terrorism 2021: Iran
Iran
Designated as a State Sponsor of Terrorism in 1984, Iran continued its support for terrorist-related activity in 2021, including support for Hizballah, Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza, and various terrorist and militant groups in Iraq, Syria, Bahrain, and elsewhere throughout the Middle East. Iran used the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) to provide support to terrorist organizations, provide cover for associated covert operations, and create instability in the region. Iran has acknowledged the involvement of the IRGC-QF in the Iraq and Syria conflicts, and the IRGC-QF is Iran’s primary mechanism for cultivating and supporting terrorist activity abroad. In 2019, the Secretary of State designated the IRGC, including IRGC-QF, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Iran also used regional militant and proxy groups to provide deniability, in an attempt to shield it from accountability for its destabilizing policies.

In Iraq, Iran supported various Iran-aligned militia groups in 2021, including the U.S.-designated terrorist groups Kata’ib Hizballah (KH), Harakat al-Nujaba, and Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, with sophisticated weapons — including increasingly accurate and lethal unmanned aerial systems (UAS) — support, funding, and training. These groups conducted roughly two dozen rocket and UAS attacks on U.S. and coalition facilities across Iraq in 2021. These included rocket attacks on U.S. Embassy Baghdad on January 22 and July 8; explosive UAS attacks on U.S. facilities in Erbil on February 15, April 14, and July 6; and multiple attacks in June on U.S. and coalition forces at Ain Al-Assad Airbase. Additionally, Iran-aligned militia groups conducted an explosive UAS attack on PM Kadhimi’s residence on November 6.

Iran also bolstered terrorist groups operating in Syria, including Hizballah, which has provided significant support to the Assad regime. Iran views the Assad regime in Syria as a crucial ally and Iraq and Syria as vital routes through which to supply weapons to Hizballah, Iran’s primary terrorist proxy group. Iranian forces have directly backed militia operations in Syria with artillery, rockets, drones, and armored vehicles. Through financial or residency enticements, Iran has facilitated and coerced primarily Shia fighters from Afghanistan and Pakistan to participate in the Assad regime’s brutal crackdown in Syria. These Iran-aligned forces conducted an attack on U.S. forces at Al-Tanf, Syria, on October 20.



Since the end of the 2006 Israeli-Hizballah conflict, Iran has supplied Hizballah in Lebanon with thousands of rockets, missiles, and small arms in violation of UNSCR 1701. Israeli security officials and politicians expressed concerns that Iran was supplying Hizballah with advanced weapons systems and technologies, as well as assisting the group in creating infrastructure that would permit it to indigenously produce rockets and missiles to threaten Israel from Lebanon and Syria. Iran has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in support of Hizballah and trained thousands of its fighters at camps in Iran. Hizballah fighters have been used extensively in Syria to support the Assad regime.



In 2021, Iran continued providing weapons systems and other support to Hamas and other U.S.-designated Palestinian terrorist groups, including Palestine Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command. These groups were behind numerous deadly attacks originating in Gaza and the West Bank.



In Bahrain, Iran has continued to provide weapons, support, and training to local Shia militant groups, including the al-Ashtar Brigades and Saraya al-Mukhtar, both U.S.-designated terrorist groups.

In Yemen, Iran has provided a wide range of weapons, training, advanced equipment such as unmanned aerial systems, and other support to Houthi militants, who engaged in hundreds of attacks against regional targets in Saudi Arabia. In May and December, the U.S. Navy and partner forces interdicted dhows carrying Iran-origin weapons intended for the Houthis, including hundreds of heavy machine guns and sniper rifles; dozens of advanced, Russian-made anti-tank guided missiles; several hundred rocket-propelled grenade launchers and optical sights for weapons; and thousands of assault rifles.

In 2021, Iranian forces attacked several commercial ships in the Gulf of Oman, including an April 13 attack on the Hyperion Ray and a July 29 UAS attack on the Mercer Street vessel.

Iran pursued or supported terrorist attacks against Israeli targets in 2021, including a thwarted January plot to attack an Israeli embassy in East Africa, a January bomb attack outside the Israeli embassy in New Delhi for which the Indian government said the IRGC-QF was responsible, and a disrupted attempt to attack an Israeli businessman in Cyprus in October.

Senior al-Qa’ida (AQ) members continued to reside in the country, and Iran has refused to publicly identify members it knows to be living in Iran. Iran has allowed AQ facilitators to operate a core facilitation pipeline through Iran since at least 2009, enabling AQ to move funds and fighters to South Asia and Syria, among other locales.

As in past years, the Iranian government continued supporting terrorist plots or associated activities targeting Iranian dissidents. In recent years, Albania, Belgium, and the Netherlands have all either arrested or expelled Iranian government officials implicated in various terrorist plots in their respective territories. Denmark similarly recalled its ambassador from Tehran after learning of an Iran-backed plot to kill an Iranian dissident in Denmark. In 2021, the United States disrupted an Iranian intelligence network plot to kidnap Masih Alinejad, an Iranian American journalist and human rights advocate living in Brooklyn, New York, from within the United States. The plot entailed luring Alinejad to a third country to capture her and forcibly render her to Iran. An Iranian plot to kidnap an Iranian helicopter pilot from Türkiye was also reportedly foiled by Turkish authorities.


I don't support Trump, but thanks for the lie, Althea. Feel free to ask Terry, Yak, Pmp, and the rest of the Trumpers if they believe I'm a RW Trump supporter. :)

Stop trying to change the subject. Like trump, you walked right into your own trap.

You support terrorism in this nation. It's your twisted logic, not mine.

You are a terrorist.
 
It's a mystery to me why so many people support Hamas and hate Israel.

It's always been a mystery to me why so many people hate Jews.
That said, I once dated a Jewish girl and it was like walking on eggshells. She often directed the discussion to David Duke, Jews, the Holocaust, Israel, etc. and I never knew when I'd say something wrong.
E.g., I remember saying that Jewish people seemed to regard education in high esteem, a compliment. Well, that was a generalization about Jews, therefore rayciss according to her. Oh brother. :palm:
 
So Jews should now vote for the white xtian party whose driving religion was to eradicate Jews for over 2000 years starting with their antisemitic "new testament"

No, the enemy of our enemy are not our friends , tolerance yes, friends no

Yes the democrats have a small cadre of antisemitism but the party is not antisemitic as its core principles align with us Jews

"In Judaism, the concept of tikkun olam is a Hebrew phrase that roughly means "repairing the world" or "perfecting the world." It is a central tenet of Jewish Theology, as evidenced by its inclusion in the Aleinu, a Jewish prayer that is traditionally recited three times daily. Performing mitzvots, or good deeds, is one means of tikkun olam, and the concept of good deeds and improving the world is inextricably linked in Jewish minds to social justice and equality – the hallmarks of democratic principles."

"Given that backdrop, Jewish support for the Democratic Party is only natural. We are the party that fought for and ushered in a women's right to vote, the Civil Rights movement, the Civil Rights Act, women's reproductive rights, and currently champion the cause of Gay Americans.

Republicans love affair with the country of Israel, where over 90% of land is government owned, with universal health care, high taxes, and a generous welfare system, is recent and often stems from their twisted religious conviction of their end days and us Jews.

How is The Gospel anti-semitic?

Thanks for the LWL opinion. I get RWNJs calling me a Leftist all the time so it's nice to have a LWL call me a RW terrorist. It's a good check that I'm where I want to be; in the rational moderate zone.

Thanks, Althea! Now others can see why I see no difference between you and the Trumpers except for your polarity. :thup:

so much bullshit......the extremism you fuckers use is almost hilarious. It's like someone can tell you that they prefer dogs over cats and you'll start calling them cat killers...........hyperbole abounds
Sez Mr. Tiny Penis who thinks it is OK to shoot 70,000,000 Trump supporters.
No, I don't. I do try to be fair about my positions on Trump, unlike you and other Lefties here who have already convicted and sentenced him just for existing.

What you 'see' is inconsequential. Your delusions have come back to bite you in the ass. I'm starting to believe that you actually did vote for trump. Twice. Notwithstanding your claims to the contrary.

Your default position is that everyone in Palestine is a terrorist, because they are being held hostage by Hamas' govt..

As such, you are a domestic terrorist along with every other Republican in the nation.

This is your logic, not the board idiots'. Stop trying to deflect. Your hysterics and accusations of others have all come full circle.

Good job.

We are a hateful nation. The melting pot is a gross failure.

Further, humans are intrinsically prone to hatred. People hate people. People hate 'others', which is why trump is so successful at stirring hate. He learned from Hitler.

I'm not sure I see the mystery? Were you similarly mystified when everyone hated Asians due to Covid?

Isn't that humans' default position?

Hatred. It seems it's the default position you and people like you hold.

James P. McGovern, a Democrat for Massachusetts
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat for New York and founding member of The Squad
Ilhan Omar, a Democrat for Minnesota and another Squad founding member
Ayanna Pressley, a Democrat for Massachusetts and a further Squad founding member
Delia C. Ramirez, a Democrat for Illinois
Mark Takano, a Democrat for California
Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat for Michigan and founding Squad member, who is of Palestinian descent
Ritchie Torres, a Democrat for New York. He has since released a statement in which he said he voted against the motion "mistakenly," adding: "As a visible and vocal advocate against antisemitism on college campuses, especially in the wake of October 7, I have submitted a correction for the record."
Lauren Underwood, a Democrat for Illinois
Nydia M. Velazquez, a Democrat for New York
Maxine Waters, a Democrat for California
