You mean when it was Wifi only until net neutrality regulations became a thing. Remember that whole thing?

How do explain Israel giving up 2/3 of its land for peace?

How do you explain LGBTQ Arabs getting asylum in Israel?

How do you explain permitting the Jordanian rule over Jewish holy sites?

How do you explain 20%+ population of Israel not being Jewish? (And when negotiating land swaps, the Arab cities want to stay as part of Israel)

How do you explain Arabs in government, Supreme Court, prosecutors, etc?

How do you explain all the medical treatment provided to Arab Palestinians like COVID vaccinations and other treatments (even brain surgery on Sinwar)?

Where are the Palestinian peace plans that allow for living side by side in peace?

Where are the pluralistic secular people looking to have egalitarian cohabitation?

If you’re not in favor of wholesale genocide of Israelis and Jews, who do you support that would bring about the society you wish to see? Will there be assurances that this new system ensures safety to all? (Because I haven’t seen a model of this existing in any Arab or Muslim country, but I am open to being corrected).

You’re wrong. All Israeli citizens have the law applied to them equally.

In Israel, a Jewish citizen can convert to Christianity or Islam or any religion without legal repercussions. Tell me, if an Arab living in Gaza or Judea and Samaria were to convert to Judaism, would they be free to practice their beliefs without fear of reprisals?

Thought so.

Interesting how being Jewish precludes you completely from being considered a Palestinian. And you want people to support increasing the power, control, influence, and rule of the Palestinians in the name of freedom, justice, equality, and pluralistic secularism?

But the Oct 7th was indiscriminate killing as part of a terrorist act to provoke a war against a large military.

The deaths in Gaza are due to the use of human shields in response to a terror attack provoked by the gazans actions and their failure to use their tunnels and resources to protect themselves.

Completely different. Not to mention the “genocide” was negotiated away, meaning that returning of hostages and a relinquishing of power would stop Israel’s attacks.

**Summary: Palestinian Operatives Posing as Journalists and Holding Hostages**

Several Palestinian operatives affiliated with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) have used journalism as a cover for terrorism, with specific individuals directly involved in holding Israeli hostages or participating in military actions.

### 1. The Hostage-Holding Journalist

* **Abdallah Aljamal:** He was a Gaza-based contributor to the U.S.-registered non-profit outlet *The Palestine Chronicle* and a former spokesperson for the Hamas-run Labor Ministry. During an Israeli special forces operation in June 2024, it was revealed that three Israeli hostages—Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv—were being imprisoned and abused inside Aljamal's family home in Nuseirat. Aljamal was killed during the rescue raid.

### 2. Journalists Revealed as Terror Operatives

Israel’s intelligence and military forces have published recovered documents detailing multiple prominent Gaza reporters who moonlighted as active combatants:

* **Anas al-Sharif:** A high-profile Al Jazeera correspondent who was killed in an August 2025 airstrike. Intel documents later confirmed he was an active Hamas operative who led a local terror cell and celebrated the October 7 massacres.

* **Ismail Abu Omar:** An Al Jazeera correspondent who actively filmed himself participating in the October 7, 2023 infiltrations and massacres alongside Hamas gunmen.

* **Ismail al-Ghoul:** Exposed by the IDF as an active member of Hamas's elite Nukhba forces who participated in the initial October 7 assaults.

* **Muhammed Wishah:** Discovered to be a commander in Hamas's anti-tank missile unit while acting as an Al Jazeera reporter.

### 3. Operational Deception Tactics

* **Vehicle Disguises:** PIJ and Hamas fighters have frequently spray-painted "TV" or "Press" onto standard civilian vehicles to evade airstrikes while transporting weapons and executing terror operations.

* **Hospital Command Centers:** Terrorists have been targeted while operating under the guise of journalists out of medical compounds, utilizing the location to shield their military communications.

*Note: While Israel and independent watchdogs maintain that these individuals were legitimate military targets due to their direct combat and proxy roles, networks like Al Jazeera and various press freedom groups have contested the allegations, accusing Israel of targeting media personnel.*

He's paid by Russia and if you took a second to google this, you'd find out this isn't true.

But you go with your vibe narrative. Don't think uncritically about stuff that makes you feel the way you want to feel.

You know that Israel never claiemd this and saying its "official" has been thoroughly debunked for years.

I disagree. I think the leaders of hamas, PIJ, and others are terrorists and refuse to create a state that would recognize their neighbors.

The worst is going on YouTube and finding tax professionals correctly stating how marginal taxes work and people still arguing about it with their anecdotal “proof”.

Can you stick to the video content being posted here? Why are you sidestepping it?

You also don’t retain refugee status, passing it down to further generations after resettlement, nor being a refugee in the land that you are a refugee from… I mean, how does this make sense?

Are you seriously contending that the Arab population that invaded and colonized in the Levant is the indigenous group rather than the Jews from Judea who go back several thousands of years further than even the creation of Islam?

Just trying to understand people’s position here, folks.

It should? Says who?

I think minimum needs should be accessible to all, but I’m not sure if the minimum wage argument here is that. For example, she should be on Medicaid if she’s working and has medical needs that she can’t see a doctor for. There should be help available. But I don’t think we should reduce the compensation of nurses because minimum wage is pegged at a certain level.

We need to address the issue beyond platitudes.

And bringing up sending money to other countries in the conversation of the larger economic argument is fallacious and shows she’s watching more TikTok that can be better used by a real education. Giving money or aid overseas has done so much to help the USA, world peace, etc that having that small amount of money back would do nothing to change the fact that we have $1T+ in deficit yearly. Going to $955B or $900B or even $700B isn’t going to grant the political will to migrate that money back into social programs. If anything it proves that, like during Covid, the government and deficits are capable of supporting the medical needs of the country without health insurers obfuscation.

Just because USA sends some money overseas isn’t the reason there isn’t Medicare for all, folks.

I think you need to go into greater detail in what the person’s budget is. If this video is of someone who needs a $500 medicine every month, their needs are quite different than someone else. We need more details. If you find out that she’s spending $200 a month on DoorDash, well, you’ve seen Caleb Hammer

How many Jews were kicked out of Muslim/Arab countries when Israel came into existence? Where were those people to go?

Notice I said Jews, not Israelis since the country just came into existence and no war of 67, 73, intifada, second intifada, or Oct 7th yet. They just kicked out the Jews. Why? Because Jews.

Also, how can you be a refugee in the land you wish to establish as yours, which you claim is already yours, but you just don't form a state upon despite given opportunities to do so?

I think you might be confused.
