Because certain Israeli groups have been trying to constantly dig money out of Poland on the basis that their ancestors had property confiscated by the Nazis while in Poland in WW2, and later the Communist regimes when Poland was part of the USSR's Eastern Bloc. Poland eventually got sick of...

That's not what history has shown. They attacked Jordan in the Black September coup when Jordan was their home. They sided with Saddam Hussein when they had their "own country" in Kuwait and tried to overthrow the government there. They had their "own country" in Libya and pissed that chance...

Dude, you're literally talking about the world's most prolific users of suicide bombers here.

The article kinda leaves out the major points there. Specifically Shaked noted that the woman in question is not of an age group where FGM is actually on the table for her, so the claimed threat didn't really exist. Further Israel's asylum laws require that a person belongs to the groupings...

It's not unreasonable if she's strongly autistic, given that's associated with difficulty with languages. Though it also brings up the question of whether or not she speaks Hebrew, it's quite plausible that she speaks no languages at all if she's that autistic and abused (the article points out...

The Negev is mostly desert. While Israel could with a great deal of effort, turn it into something inhabitable, every time they turn a patch of desert/swamp/otherwise worthless landscape into livable terrain liberals post memes about how the Palestinains have to live in the horrible desert...

The idea is to cut down on the organized crime and drug trading, by making large transactions only legal if you leave an electronic trail. The US did much the same thing under Nixon, that's why there's no bill bigger than the hundred. The reasoning was that it would make it too hard to...

Jordan doesn't want the Palestinians. Last time they had them, the Palestinians tried to overthrow the Jordanian government.

The reason I specified 20 years was that I believe it would be enough that a Hudna wouldn't work. You'd have an entire generation of Palestinians who grew up never knowing the terror attacks, without the endless forever war surrounding them, and everybody under 40 would know more years of peace...

Yeah, basically I wanted to head off a pedantic derail that would alternately go "But you only said mortars, what if Palestinians used missiles?" and/or "A single Palestinian criminal with a kitchen knife could overturn it so the treaty's impossible for the poor Palestinians to fulfill."

One of the issues with Israel giving up part of Jerusalem is that they have very little reason to think that any area they give up won't have mortars and missile launchers planted on it an hour later, and they don't want the rest of Jerusalem under fire at point-blank range. If it's been a...

They have Israeli. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_passport

Huh, missed this one somehow. That's a pretty bizarre goalpost shift you've made there, along with some factual errors. We started at "What does Israel provide the US?" and now somehow you're saying their varied contributions don't count if any other nation apparently does... anything at all...

Really? Then show me the Chinese active protection system the US mounts on an Abrams for added defense, the Russian made desalination plant that's supplying California with water, and the advanced Iranian robotic exoskeleton that's helping the disabled walk again. With them being so much...

It doesn't really matter. For any given job, no matter how thorough they try to make their documentation, they invariable leave critical parts out because they think it's "common knowledge" but nobody else does. This has happened numerous times in history. The secret of Roman Concrete was...

As long as there are people who do know how to make an Abrams, they can train up more people and institutional knowledge isn't lost. So fairly quickly, especially since the US tends to keep stockpiles of extra everything just in case. Now if the last Abrams factory shut down for lack of work...

Israel provides a pretty wide range of benefits to the US. Trade: Israel/US trade is around 10 billion a year. No, that's not completely staggering, I mean the UK trade is about 45 billion for the same time period. OTOH, the UK has about seven and a half times Israel's population too, a much...

Literally at least one example in this thread:

This would be more convincing if he didn't also harp on how Jews supported the Nazis in WW2 and ratted out good honest Poles to them, and how modern Jews are evil and abusive to Poland.

The property rights thing seems to have arisen from Israel noting that Poland expelled its Jewish population and confiscated their property, multiple times after WWII all the way into the late 60s. Recently Israel has been petitioning to get the value of all the confiscated property back to the...
