He was talking about the way Israelis have historically treated Palestinians. And he made an important distinction between their actions and those of the Nazis. The Nazis, he said, killed Jews because they were Jews. The Israelis do not kill Palestinians because they are Palestinians. They just don't care how many Palestinians they have to kill in order to achieve their nationalistic and messianic Zionist vision. I don't think it could be said any better.

Speaking of interesting comments Some what counter to your innocent Palestinian women and children narrative.
Have you ever looked into the way Palestinians have historically treated Israelis or why Palestinians often refer to Israelis as "Jews" instead of "Israelis?"
No, I've only heard from historians that said Palestinians and "Jews" got along fairly well until the Zionists showed up.
Are those the same "historians" that led you to believe Israel's majority is white Jews from Europe, Russian, and the US, and that the conflict is a conflict over skin color and "oppression?"
No, no historian led me to that belief. It was an erroneous assumption on my part. The historians that say Palestinians and "Jews" got along fairly well before Zionists showed up are for the most part Israeli "Jewish" historians. Another assumption on my part: I assume they called them "Jews" before they encountered Zionists who ran them off in their quest to create Greater Israel. And I doubt many people argue against a degree of white racism among the Israeli population, especially the African "Jews" who are from the incorrect sect of what is considered a real "Jew."
Why do you avoid addressing these stories. Ignoring and try to hide from the facts just makes you look silly and quite frankly dishonest.
I'll just leave this here for Dan.
The rate of consanguineous marriages among Palestinian Arabs is high, with some studies estimating it to be around 44.3%. This is one of the highest rates in the world.
Explanation
The rate of consanguineous marriages among Palestinian Arabs is high, with some studies estimating it to be around 44.3%. This is one of the highest rates in the world.
Explanation
- A study of Palestinian Arab families found that 44.3% of marriages were between relatives, with 22.6% of those being between first cousins.
- A study in the Gaza Strip found that the rate of consanguineous marriages decreased from 45.2% in the previous generation to 39.9% in the current generation.
- A study found that consanguinity of parents was significantly associated with cerebral palsy in Palestinian children.
- The increased chance of consanguinity with decreasing age at marriage
- The high rates of consanguineous marriage in the Muslim world
- The increased chance of consanguinity with decreasing age at marriage
Now that you know that Israel isn't a majority of white foreign Jews, have you looked into who makes up the actual population of Israel?
I believe Dan's state of mind is caused by reading articles written by people with strange names or unconventional spelling of their names.
Dan needs to start reading articles written by people named Smith or Miller or Johnson. Maybe they should have first names of Bubba or Joe Bob and that would settle Dan down enough that he could enjoy life. 😁

You didn't know? Dan's a journalist in Gaza. He scribes for al-jazerra.

You should take your own advice from time to time, Dan. Unless, of course, you find actual facts about the Israelis to be offensive for some reason.You might want to read up on who Gabor Mate is. Unless, of course, you find Hungarian Jewish names to be offensive for some reason.

Thank you for the much needed advice, Medic. I know that you are the official arbiter of knowing what are the actual facts as opposed to simple facts, so I always put great care in everything you say.
There is a modicum of truth in this statement. You'll need to articulate better though.
