Israel launches 'significant' military operation in West Bank; at least 9 Palestinians killed

The State of Israel has crossed too many lines. Get yer nukes ready cos ya gonna need em

Trump supports the Jewish settlers who have attacked Palestinians.

There is no future in war.

The Palestinians should agree to the two-state solution (the Arab state of Palestine, and the state of Israel - a refuge for Jews and for Judaism, but at the same time a mixed home for both Jews and Arabs).

Israel must stay out of the West Bank!

""We are acting systematically and resolutely against the Iranian axis wherever it extends its arms – in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Judea and Samaria," Netanyahu said. Judea and Samaria are terms Israel uses for the occupied West Bank.""

Israel will never live in peace for as long as it continues ignoring the rights of the Palestinians living in Israel and the West Bank.

Occupation SUCKS.

""There is no future in war.

WOW,

What happened !??

A change of Heart? LOL

Hardline pro-settler Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who has responsibility for large parts of Israeli policy in the West Bank, said the operation was the start of a "strong and ongoing campaign" against militant groups "for the protection of settlements and settlers".

Again, illegal colonies. Not "settlements". The fact that the media adopts the same terminology as an extremist like Smotrich should be a warning sign. Stop using Israeli double speak to obfuscate facts.

They are illegal Jewish colonies built on stolen Palestinian land.

He said he looked forward to cooperating with the new U.S. administration in expanding settlements, which most countries consider to be in violation of international law.

There is no country or international body on the planet that considers Israel's colonies to be legal. Even Israel's own supreme court rules them illegal.

All countries consider to be in violation of international law.

Did anyone actually expect the Scofflaw regime to abide by the ceasefire deal?

Does anybody actually expect that when the murders, rapes, kidnappings, thefts, starvation etc the Scofflaw regime becomes too much for Palestinians to passively accept, and there's another Uprising, that Japan Today will point to that as the cause of the Uprising, rather than claim the Uprising is to blame for the Scofflaw regime's brutality towards Palestinians?

The "ceasefire deal" refers to Hamas and Gaza, not the Westbank.

 the murders, rapes, kidnappings, thefts, starvation etc the Scofflaw regime

By "scofflaw regime" you mean Hamas? They have been doing all of those. In the West Bank, you have the PA which is turning a blind eye to islamist fanatics.

Zaphod....even Jewish /Israeli Human Rights groups }Betsalem }excuse spelling , keep accounts of Israeli ,IDF, settlers violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

Read something outside the stuff you seem to be spoonfed...hasbara...I think it is called.

The toll is heavily against the Palestinians.

I wont mention the various international human rights groups ,MSF, the United Nations because they are all anti semitic arent they.

WOW, What happened !?? A change of Heart? LOL

My standpoint is very consistent. The other day I wrote as follows:

"There are two nations between the river and the sea, namely the Arabic Palestinian nation and the Israeli Jewish nation. Both nations deserve to live and to exist. The state of Israel and the state of Palestine should exist side by side."

There is no future in war - only death and destruction, for the sake of what? The Palestinian pseudo-religious insistence on committing genocide to Jews is madness, and is in fact counter-religious. The two nations could have been living side by side and could have been cooperating and enjoying prosperity, modernity, wealth and mutual cultural enrichment for 78 years already.

NB....nice thoughts....read all about Israel's intransigence in books like !0 Myths about Israel.

Do you really think a Zionist enterprise to reclaim land they say "God promised them 2500 years ago " is going to listen to anothers point of view.

This crap started in the 1850,s , even earlier, with various Jewish Congress meetings and the gradual buying up of land from absentee Arab owners until a "critical mass " was attained in the 1930,s , Palestinians run out of their lands , then 1948, with Armed Jewish terror groups murdering and expelling Palestinians.

The UN has records on this.If this was "peaceful " why are there hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees. Many of theses FORCED into Gaza.

Dont kid yourself....Jews want a "greater Israel " and

wont be satisfied until they get it.

To add balance, many OrthoDox Jews oppose the idea of a Jewish homeland and even those that support it are actively working to get justice for Palestinians.

NB....just read more about how this "justification " is taking place.

Expulsion of Palestinians from homes, land, employment.

Palestinians not eligible to serve in the IDF....guess what, 70% of Israeli employment restricts non IDF people from working .

Two tier system of law...military for Palestinian, civil for Israeli.

An Israeli soldier of the lowest rank can arrest without charge and imprison a Palestinian without recourse to any Court

A Palestinian child throwing a stone at a Israeli tank can be held as a terrorist

There are tens of thousands of Palestinians , men,women,children held like this.

There are records of torture committed on these prisoners who have ZERO convictions made against them.

I regret your reading on this omits facts that EVERY HUMAN RIGHTS GROUP ON THE PLANET calls an egregious breach of peoples rights.

Russian gulags were better.

Why does Israel get a free pass ?
