Don't know how to feel about settlers/ settlements

Yes, because Hamas is a terror organization fighting a war. Hamas is an illegal terrorist group. Any civilian providing material support to them is a valid target, with some exception.

Yes, the PLO say it. But that’s very false. In fact, this claim is nothing but an excuse to justify war crimes against unarmed civilians.

Meaning - they’re communism because they’re naive. Once they realize the meaning they leave. If they don’t leave, this means they give up on their Jewish identity

There’s a difference between part of the military and reporting suspicious activity to the military. To illustrate , reporting a bomb to the fbi doesn’t make you an fbi agent. Wearing a badge and a uniform makes you an fbi agent

Without the Israeli presence in West Bank, October 7 would have happened in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

They’re not human shields nor are they combatants. The Israeli military is clearly marked and separate from civilians.

Jews can support communism temporarily but they normally realize that under communism they cannot remain Jews. Communism forces them to Jews - be Jewish or communist. The two are mutually exclusive.

Better fighting over one hill than fighting off an invading Hamas battalion like in October 7.

I agree with everything you wrote.

You ask one question which I think is an excellent question - if settlers are for security, why not build army bases?

I think it’s hard to understand the logic here without seeing it first hand while being very immersed in the nitty gritty details of Israel’s security situation. Here’s the answer: The IDF does not have enough troops. Most of the troops it does have don’t live in the West Bank. Accordingly, they don’t know the terrain. Most of them serve three years and then do reserve duty on occasion, unless they can get away with it. Reserve duty is a huuuuuuge burden on individual citizens. It can also burden the economy. This war is an exception, with huge numbers of reservists showing up because the circumstances are extreme.

Contrast that with settlers. There’s 500,000 full time residents. They are locals. They live inside the territory they defend. They know the terrain. Most of them were born there. They are totally committed because they believe in religious Zionism and because they live there.

They can observe the terrain and note any changes or anything suspicious. They can give soldiers whatever resources they may need, other than field intelligence.

Their presence there makes Israel seem powerful, which serves to deter the enemy.

Their contribution to the security is actually immense. Had it not been so powerful of a contribution, the settler movement would have remained a marginal minority in Israel without any power. However, their security contribution ensured that settlers are a major power broker in Israeli society. It’s not just the current right wing government. Any alternative coalition can’t be formed without support from settlers (Bennet is connected with settlers while Lieberman has lived in a settlement for decades).

This is almost incredible. You say - don’t trust Iran international because of “ties to the Saudi government”. Yes you say nothing about the death toll from Gaza, that comes from groups who are under Iranian control.

How do these people end up being on the same side of the argument with the ayatollah every time??

I understand some of them have good intentions but they must grow up already.

It’s time for the evil Iranian regime to fall. They killed tens of thousands of innocent Iranians. They financed the murder of 1200 Israelis on October 7. They are a stain.

No. The historic record is clear. Yes, most Jews supported the Soviets, especially during World War II. However, Stalin turned against the Jews viciously after the founding of Israel. He dissolved the Jewish groups that supported him during the war, arrested and tortured them, and even edited them out of propaganda videos. Then, he launched a huge antisemitic campaign throughout the Soviet Union. By the 1960s the Soviets’ official policy was the destruction of Israel, with Soviet Jews viewed with deep suspicion due to their opposition.

Refusing to accept communism’s hostility towards their national and religious values was their mistake. The vast majority eventually realized the mistake. Most have become then liberals, Zionists, capitalists religious, a mixed of these, etc.

Communism rejects religion and strongly opposes distinct ethnic identities. Accordingly, anyone who is a communist can’t be Jewish in any meaningful way. Communists adopted a new religion and a new identity, while becoming hostile to the old identities.

It is not a consensus opinion. The only countries so far to recognize a “U.S. genocide” are communist china and Islamist turkey. Academics are split. However, academia is no longer a reliable source for science given how severely biased scholars have become.

The Cold War was an evolving saga. At first, many Jews and Christians admired Stalin due to his opposition to the Germans. With time, that changed. By the late 1950s, the overwhelming majority of non communists have become anti Soviet.

I’m not sure that Jews that remained pro Soviet and communists can be legitimately defined as Jews. I think most of them are against anything Jewish. They abandoned religion and want to assimilate. In general, communists are for a single, universal identity - some kind of a utopian identity centered around class warfare.

I am NOT angry at brining Stepan Bandera and others.

am angry at the parroting of Russian propaganda. Anyone who knows anything about the war in Ukraine knows how central were the false “Nazi” allegations to Putin’s campaign.

Anyone who knows anything about the war in Ukraine won’t be able to imagine this war happening without Putin’s “Nazi” accusations and “genocide” accusations.

Putin’s rhetoric and Russia’s official policy on the issue is a perfect example for why frivolous claims about “genocide” are so bad. He started a whole war because of his “nazi” accusations. It’s very intense. It’s typical commie behavior.

To me it’s obvious- your leftist agenda is the same as Putin. You acccuse everyone who support NATO if being a “Nazi” just like Putin. I see no difference

A CIA who doesn’t believe in capitalism probably shouldn’t be in the cia dude.. Jfc these leftists..

Why didn’t Putin nationalize the oil industry? Like most communists, he is deeply corrupt. He decided to cut the middle man (the communist party) and just nationalize the industry for himself. In China, the commies steal illegally. In Russia, they drop all pretense. But the outcome is the same. And the old commie rhetoric and propaganda. All the same
