  • A and B are both incorrect, you can clearly see the photographers being positioned by Trump staffers. They don’t need to be Trump staff.

    Point C is the tricky one. That does not have clear evidence of conspiracy. It would have been simpler to not have a bystander and shooter killed. People have been convinced to carry out assassinations in the past. Throw in a sabotaged firearm. But yes, there is no evidence for it.

    What do you think about the flag getting lowered into the shot?






  • I think you misunderstand my intentions. I am also looking the project of zionism to be eradicated. It’s as evil as the Nazi movement, or the Islamic eradication of other cultures, or the Christian Inquisitions and crusades.

    Regardless of the history and what was said/promised/agreed, the only plan that will work is one that focuses on the current population on the ground.

    A secular, irreligious, democracy that erases the apartheid boundaries is the only solution that does not perpetuate the conflict.

    The two state solution is inherently unfair, because as you say, each time it’s on the table, the palestinians get less and less. In a democratic one state solution, they get an equal portion relative to their population (including the diaspora)

    Apart from political power, You will also need a marshal plan type reconstruction effort to uplift, the war ravaged population and protect them from extremism and external exploitation by foreign governments. Fortunately, there is enough wealth in the Israeli economy to pay for a multi-generational reconstruction plan.





  • They both just want to live. It’s the small groups of oligarchs that have convinced them they want other things. Either greater israel, or a Palestine with no Jews.

    There is no way either party can get that.

    Don’t forget there is a large number of non-jewish people living as Israeli citizens. Almost 30% of the population.

    It’s part of the reason I would argue that a one state solution is the better option. A combined nation with one political and legal structure. That way the Current Jewish majority is diluted down to less than 50%. The only way to kill apartheid is to integrate the societies more closely. But that’s unlikely to happen as long as Israel is supported by the US and the local middle eastern nations don’t support the Palestinians though economic support and sanctions.





  • The South African government supporting armed resistance has very little to do with a moral position. It has more to do with them seeking support from Iran and Russia for their corruption.

    I know it’s not fair. It is brutal and inhumane.

    Israel is committing a genocide Gaza to a degree we have not seen since the genocide in Dafhur.

    My point is one of practicality. What does a violent attack on civilians achieve for the palestinian cause?

    Say a man is in the woods with his family and they come across a wolf. The man attacks the wolf unprovoked and the wolf fights back, but the man is too strong. His only hope is that the family would tell the man to stop, or that a park ranger would notice it and intervene.

    Would the wolf attacking the mans family achieve anything in its favour? Or would that erode his support with the family and the park ranger?


  • Normal israelis used to be more sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. But regular missile attacks and air raid sirens desensitised them in recent times.

    Israelis nearly got rid of Netanyahu, but attacks like Oct 7 galvanised the public behind him.

    I lived the resistance of the ANC in the late 80s. Umkhonto weSiswe was a lot less prominent by then since the change in strategy. The remnants of that movement nearly derailed the entire process.

    What I am advocating for is that in all similar situations around the world, armed attacks on the civilians of the other side have NEVER resulted in success. Not when there is a power disparity like this. They need to be removed from the strategy.
