My thoughts, assertions and observations on issues important to me as a Jew, a Zionist, a Revenant in Yesha and as an inquisitive human being.
About Me
- YMedad
- Shiloh, Benjamin District, Samaria, Israel
- American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem.

I serve as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria.

I Know you are very passionate about this but i think you've lost yourself in defending what the Israeli government does because Hamas has done it before. At some point you need to realize that military action won't end this fighting. Most of those articles you posted were from the 1950's just think about that. Israel has been defending itself for decades. All I'm trying to prove is that the Israeli government needs a new strategy. I really don't want to see this turn into genocide for the Israelites or the Palestinians.
Jeff, unfortunately i think that's what it is. Otherwise, why bomb places like UN schools? Why not let independent press in? Why not let Red Cross crews to help people. You are aware of that time when they didn't let them in for 3 days right? It looks like genocide to me heavily covered with excuses and rethoric like "israel has a right to exist" to distruct people from the reality of their actions. They planned this war for a while, but even before that Palestinians have been demonized and killed and inprisoned and live in poverty under the economic siege.
Call me radical here, but all signs indicate that this is genocide. And they have a reason for it too, they want the land that "God gave to them".
you guys/gals don't get it.
i posted the incidents from 1950 for two reasons: one, that Arabs sought out civilian targets to purposefully kill children and housewives.
and two, that if Arabs were killing us in the 1950s when we had not been "occupying" Gaza or Judea or Samaria, why are they killing us now, even after we left Gaza in 2005. or is our very presence on Waqf land as Hamas declares the problem and therefore, I can never be an Israeli in my own country.
For every israeli killed there are 100 of palestinians throughout the time of the conflict.
Stop with your excuses already.
We are so encouraged to be weak by this: see for yourself
Did you expect anything different? Did you expect you'll go kill 1000 people and not piss anyone off? You are working towards your own destruction. Change your policies and tactics before its too late.
