(JEWISH GROUP) The Real Reason the World Sides Against Israel

Last edited Thu Apr 24, 2025, 04:56 PM - Edit history (1)

SINCE IT SEEMS SOME CAN'T/WON'T READ THE TITLE LINE: THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!



Israel once fit neatly into the David and Goliath story—small, surrounded, and fighting to survive. But power complicates perception, and today, many see Goliath when they look at Israel’s military force and technological acumen.

Yet beneath the tanks and tech lies a nation still shaped by trauma, bound by morality, and driven by the belief that righteousness—not might—is what truly wins the day.

Most of the world sees what is happening in Gaza.
As a slaughter of innocent Palestinians



I really respect the current Queen Rania of Jordon....


The Queen emphasized that the Arab world is shocked by the global media coverage of the war and its portrayal as if the conflict started only on October 7:

"This is a 75-year-old story, a story of overwhelming death and displacement to the Palestinian people.” She called the history of the conflict for the Palestinians “a story of an occupation under apartheid regime that occupies lands, demolishes houses, confiscates lands, military incursions, night raids.”

Earlier on Saturday, at the Cairo Summit for Peace where Israel was not represented, King Abdullah II of Jordan stated that the international reaction to the war portrays Palestinians as if they matter less than Israelis. He said that the Arab world is seeing that "application of the international law is optional. And human rights have boundaries — they stop at borders, they stop at races, and they stop at religions."

...did you actually bother to watch the video that was posted in the JEWISH GROUP? May your second post in this group be better written.

“Lazy propaganda” ?

This is exactly why the conflict in Middle East will never end.

I’m so sorry for your inability to acknowledge or accept reality.

Bye

(will post instead in Israel/Palestine forum)

And you I am so sorry you didn't have the ability to be respectful in the Jewish group, including blaming a conflict on a single player, as well as feeling the need to 'splain "reality" to a Jew.

The I/P and rest of DU will be more to your liking.

As a host to this group, respect for Jews is paramount.

“Respectful”

Killing on both sides in abhorrent.

Telling the truth that Israel has committed horrific horrendous
slaughter of innocents.

The Queen of Jordon tells the truth.
Be RESPECTFUL to her

So PLEASE be respectful of the dead that were killed by
Israel

Demanding I, or any Jew, be respectful to a foreign queen, as well, as failing to follow through on his own promise of not returning. The poster will no longer be allowed to post here.
