You can’t have colonialism without white supremacy. You can try to hide it behind religion, but it’s a weak disguise.
Israel discriminates against Arab Jews. And it discriminates against and expels African Jews.

Negotiations are being pushed as a stalling tactic, by both sides not just Hamas. Israelis want to see how much Qatar can squeeze from Hamas, and to get a better understanding of Hamas' will/determination to fight. They also want to use this as "proof" to the US/international community of their willingness to stop fighting, assuming certain objectives are met. But there's little to no chance they will accept Hamas' conditions (no drone coverage over Gaza), or maybe they will delay a short while to allow the US to move in assets that will allow them to take over.
Right now the main sticking point is how far Israel is willing to go for the hostages. Hamas primary hostage strategy/objective is to exchange them for all of most of the Palestinians currently in Israeli jails. If they do that, I think they basically guarantee their survival going forward. In the past the Israelis went to great lengths to get back hostages. In 2011 they freed more than 1000, including murderers/terrorists, just for 1 Israeli soldier, the difference being that there was a lot of political pressure to make that deal. There was even a group of Israeli mothers whose children were victims of terrorist attacks planned/committed by Palestinians that Hamas were demanding be released, that supported the exchange. A lot of ppl have said in retrospect that was a mistake and my guess is that netanyahu don't see this moment as one where they need to be so generous (both from military/security or political standpoint).
Netanyahu is also smart enough to realize that biden doesn't want this as a distraction during the election. My guess is that he thinks from Bidens perspective the best outcome is for Israel to quickly subdue Gaza and then the US can parachute in with a very generous proposal of support (political solution/economic aid etc) for the Palestinians. Israel probably realizes that what Biden doesn't want/can't afford is for this war to go on block by block, week by week, pausing for one week at a time for "negotiations", only to restart, then pausing again while 5 hostages are released. I don't know how many young voters would be sufficiently turned off by what they're seeing to abandon Biden or stay home, but any amount is too many for Biden and the Dems.

Stick to making threads about SA brother in law and Trump’s tie color.

You already don’t vote and live in a “red state” so why would I bother convincing you that you’re wrong?

Well, that should be alarming to Blinken and Sullivan. Half the party rejecting your policy isn't a great look.

I wonder what that half of the party would find acceptable?
"Palestinian children are brought up to hate Jews" they said.
Every Israeli accusation is a confession.
Wow.

You're right that the push into Palestine isn't necessarily motivated by white supremacy, but the history of Zionism is intertwined with white supremacy. I've talked about this before in this thread. It is more of a sub issue of the current Palestinian land grab, but it can't be disentangled from Zionism. Even Judaism is a driving force is kind of a wishy washy premise. It's a far right government taking land by conquest under the veil of religion. I'm not trying to go into it again, but it's just a typical fascist government which has created a national identity around Judaism as their in-group.
Here's an interesting Twitter thread about it from a Mizrahi/Arab Jew.
....
Also, the Likud party who has been driving Israel's government has been for decades forming links with other far right and fascistic governments, as well as full blown antisemites. I don't think the comparisons to Nazi are all that ridiculous.
It has everything to do with their ethnicity. Zionism is an ideology created and propagated by white Jews who originated from an area of the globe that is deep rooted in white supremacist ideology. They have intertwined Jewish religion and hate-based/violent white culture with the result manifesting as a hybrid of religious hate based religious ideology.
If you think it’s not about their ethnicity you simply don’t understand history. White Zionist Jews are notoriously racist against non-white Jews specifically Arabs and black Jews. They practice systematic racism against nonwhite Jews in Israel. The belief about being chosen people and having their own land is textbook white supremacist ideology, not Jewish.
This is the same belief system of white (Christian) colonist in America except they called it “manifest destiny”

Yeah, Israel is a haven for pedos. I heard about that on an episode of the American Prestige. These rabbis get a child molestation charge in the country they live in and then run back to Israel claiming birth right citizenship.
You can do a google search of Israel safe haven pedophiles and find a lot of articles from mainstream news orgs talking about it.
