Iran's grievance is religion-based, Israel's grievance is survival-based. Nobody has forgot anything.

The Iranian parliament has literally been chanting "death to Israel" since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, while Israel had absolutely no beef with them beyond self defense, and was even allied with the previous Iranian government before Iran started all this bullshit. So please don't "bothsame" this.

They're probably emboldened by Israel's internal political crisis, thinking that this is the perfect time to attack Israel on all fronts (diplomatic, economic, military) because they think it's weak right now.

That's a good idea actually!

Jesus, can you stop bothering me with immigration to Israel questions?

Oh and Bibi's back in case you didn't hear, he and his supporters won the elections yesterday, pretty solidly so.

Palestinian mob attacking a christian church in the West Bank town of Beit Sahour. https://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-leaders-denounce-attack-on-church-near-bethlehem.html Not like the major international media companies would ever report this, of course, can't tarnish the...

That's precisely why they should accept the Trump plan. As time passes they're only going to get progressively worse deals. They missed the amazing 2000 deal, then missed the pretty damn good 2008 deal, now they've missed Trump's still decent deal (whatever you want to say about it, it did grant...

If they would never accept something like the Trump plan then they'll forever remain stateless, and that's, frankly, not my problem. They should learn to compromise.

I think that it's a red herring. Settlements were evacuated in Gaza, it led to more terrorism, not less. There was also more than enough terrorism before the first settlement was ever founded. There are 700K Jews living in Judea and Samaria, they're not going to ever be evacuated anyway unless...

Transnistria.

Yes to both.

I'm not circumcised, I'm not Jewish by the Halakha (although I'm something like 64% Ashkenazi Jew according to DNA tests) and I live in Israel just fine, voting in free elections, eating bacon and cheezburgers, using electricity and driving on the Shabbat etc. Israel is by and large not very...

Reform Judaism is mainstream in the US, definitely not in Israel.

That's a small sect, not mainstream Judaism.

Not that I'm aware of. It's a very basic tenet of modern Judaism as far as I'm aware.

It's religious law. It's hardcoded into the Jewish faith, not something you can just throw away at will.

That's the most stupid thing I've heard in a while. On par with magically reducing rape statistics by redefining the meaning of rape. The problem is not actually going anywhere.

Their internal narrative is still "Palestine will be free from the river to the sea". It's hard to negotiate in good faith when you've convinced your own population through relentless propaganda (western leftists are also heavily at fault for this) that Israel is going to be destroyed aaaaany...
