Difference between being anti-Israel and being anti-Semetic - interview by Evan Davis

Mark Regev said, in all innocence, "What is it about the Jewish state that is so offensive?"

PLEASE!  Get Jeremy Bowen, on PM, to answer Mark's question or, to speculate, from his decades of reporting from the Middle East.  His great book from 2022 is 'The Making of the Modern Middle East'.  Essential reading for all, especially for dear Mark Regev.

LITTLE, HARMLESS, INOFFENSIVE ISRAEL!

Last week, on Radio 4 'PM', Mark Regev said, "What is it about the Jewish state that is so offensive?"

Short answer:

Because it IS so offensive in attacking and being aggressive and annexing more Palestinian land - two years of collective punishment, war crimes and "acts of genocide".  Bibi and former Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant are wanted for war crimes!

My answer:

Your State of Israel, Mark, was born out of terrorism from 1945 to 1948 with funding from American taxes to help arm the three terrorist gangs.  For one example, only: one gang blew up the King David Hotel in 1946, with 91 killed.

The British were mandated to rule Palestine but the terrorists (one, the Haganah gang, became the IDF) sent the British packing from whence they came.

In other words, contrary to international law, aggression was rewarded.

It has been like this ever since.  Israel and the West has won every war against the Arabs.

The 1956 Suez Crisis, courtesy of Israel and the West, was immoral and illegal.  A war crime.

My taxes, my government, my country has murdered over 70,000 Palestinians in over two years.

Tens of thousands more were injured by indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks by the IDF using American and German weapons, Elbit military products and drones made in factories in England.

Only a small minority of the 70,000 slaughtered would have been Hamas fighters who had every right to defend their country under international law.

In effect, my country stole the land of Palestine and gave it to the Jews after our side murdered six million of them between 1933 and 1945.  'Our side' because Germany was part of the European Christian West when the Nazis came to power in 1933.
