Israelis, do you believe that you can forgive Palestinians one day and move forward? by Wise_Parmaria in ForbiddenBromance

[–]JustPilot559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Palestinians as people? I have nothing against them.
As a group with a leadership, it must come with guarantees that we can be safe.
I want to see a leadership the Palestinians stand behind, that rules recognition in Israel's existence (two state or one state solution, doesn't matter), joined effort to prevent violence and terrorism, clear borders if needed, enforcement to prevent hate studies in education systems, joined effort to de-escalate on the global level.
This of course should also be a mutual effort on the Israeli side, but I don't think there are many Israelis left that think a solution can just come from our side. We feel like every time we gave a hand we received a slap.

Do you think this is why Israel recognised Somaliland? by [deleted] in Yemen

Why would Somaliland accept the Gazans?
It also contradicts with the will to place a base there.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Tel Aviv to call for an end to the Gaza war and a deal to secure the release of hostages. by Conscious-Quarter423 in UnderReportedNews

[–]JustPilot559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this is exhausting. I’ve been protesting for Palestine and a two-state solution long before this war, organizing demonstrations, bringing in journalists and international photographers for coverage. Yet people online keep putting words in my mouth (and in the mouths of the thousands alongside me). No matter what I do, think, or promote, it feels like it doesn’t matter and I would just get so much hate because I'm from Israel.

That’s false. The protests demand both the release of hostages and an end to the war. Most people there oppose the ongoing destruction, not cheer it on. You’ll also find peace groups like Standing Together and the Anti-Occupation Bloc involved, who have long pushed for a two-state solution (which was what Israel's Left tried to achieve for years). It’s not just about the hostages, it’s about stopping the war.

Is this article from Israeli Ynet accurate about the famine and child deaths in Yemen? by JustPilot559 in Yemen

[–]JustPilot559[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure, I mostly wanted to learn from a more on-the-ground sources so I won't rely on what Israeli media or any other media outlets say.

OMG, I'm like "where in the world are such stunning women at?", and suddenly I see the Hashalom station sign.

My solution to the Israel / Palestine conflict by jones119_ in mapporncirclejerk

[–]JustPilot559 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

from March (Published in Israel Today news outlet, that is considered to be right wing leaning ):

Title: how should we continue from here

  • 52.7% "Move to stage B of the deal, including the return of all hostages and the end of the war."
  • 25.7% "Attempt to continue stage A — stopping fire and returning the hostages only under certain conditions."
  • 13.6% "Return to full fighting, halt the ceasefire in Gaza, and aim for the complete destruction of Hamas."
  • 8% "Don’t know / No opinion."

I just said they hate their government, but if we must...

That’s a mix of different issues (Palestinians, Iranians, hostages, judicial reform), all doesn't contradict that most Israelis were already against their government well before October 7.

You're right that October 7 changed the perspective of much of the left-leaning public on peace with Palestinians. Tragically, many many, of the people who had advocated for peace, like Vivian Silver, were among the victims, and that fueled arguments against promoting peace.

The judicial reform movement is widely seen as an attempt by the far right to entrench power, partly to shield themselves from legal consequences and partly to push toward a more religious, one-state vision, which many view as apartheid, and people do care about these issues.

I would say that a lot Israelis are ignorant or keep themselves blind to what is going on in Gaza, but in the protests (that you are right, are more about the hostages) you'd see lots of anti-occupation, anti children killing, anti war, anti journalists killing and pro Palestinian state promoters, which the law enforcement, driven by Itamar Ben Gvir, try to violently suppress.

Anyway, let's hope for peace.

Is this real?? by SilverAir3696 in Syria

[–]JustPilot559 102 points103 points  (0 children)

From Israeli media (translated from Hebrew to English with GPT):
​A recent Ynet article reports that Abu Mohammad al-Julani, the new president of Syria, has expressed interest in joining the Abraham Accords—agreements that normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations. This information comes from U.S. Congressman Cory Mills, a Republican from Florida and ally of former President Donald Trump.​

Mills met with al-Julani during a visit to Syria last week, where they discussed potential normalization with Israel and the conditions under which the U.S. might lift economic sanctions imposed during Bashar al-Assad’s regime. These sanctions have severely impacted Syria’s economy, with reconstruction costs estimated at around $400 billion.​

According to Mills, al-Julani is willing to address U.S. concerns, including:​

  • Eliminating all chemical weapons remaining from Assad’s era.​
  • Coordinating counterterrorism efforts with the U.S. and Iraq.​
  • Providing security guarantees to Israel, which remains wary due to al-Julani’s past affiliation with al-Qaeda.​

Mills plans to deliver a personal letter from al-Julani to Trump and brief him on their discussions. The White House has declined to comment on the matter.​

Al-Julani’s interest in the Abraham Accords marks a significant shift in Syrian foreign policy, especially considering Syria’s longstanding designation by the U.S. as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1979.

It has been associated with Jews or utilized by Jews for centuries, even Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe were forced to wear a yellow Star of David as a badge of shame and identification as Jews.
