What those people must be going through. Having had a few hot days gives us some understanding. To be without water and a home in the heat.The whole place is destroyed. And now Trump is waiting for Netanyahu to finish it off.

The extremes of any religion thinks of itself as God's chosen people.
There are not good grounds for singling one group out. Think of some Christian cults one would apply those words to.

There are IMO very good reasons for singling out those responsible for the atrocities being carried out on the West Bank Wyllow.

Talk is cheap JenniferEccles, he has done nothing to stop the violence.
Has he only just noticed what is going on?
Or is he now aware of the drawbacks of international condemnation?
He mentioned Israel's reputation in the world, didn't he?

Yes, Smileless2012 what the current regime is doing is unforgivable imo.

But its not, imo because the regime are Jewish - all over the world there are groups who are suffering in the same way as Palestinians atm or in the family recent past and its tyranny at work as well as the claims to be "the original and only" people with rights to the land......

...since some Palestinians claim the same. History has a long reach and there are "justifications" on both sides. Most of the world consider only sharing the land ie two states is the possible way forward - but the tyrannical elements of the regime have the upper hand atm. The tides of history have many times and moods, and Hitler's work never forgotten..its very complicated. Just absolutely fair to say the current regime is not supported by many jewish people round the world, it is viewed with horror, just as it is accepted by many that Netanyahu and buddies are actually increasing anti semitism.
