Israeli Firms Are Working Overtime to Sell Stolen Palestinian Land to US Jews
Israeli Firms Are Working Overtime to Sell Stolen Palestinian Land to US Jews
The real estate events peddling land in Israeli settlements in the West Bank appear to flout US and international law.
If you needed proof the Gazan war was anything but a blatant land grab.
This is in the West Bank. Imagine all the real estate that will be available once the Gazans are eliminated.
Here's a 2-minute video Rich Seigel, a brave Jewish man from New Jersey. In that video he protested what he called the illegal property sale (perhaps one of the ones mentioned in the article) of Western Bank homes in a racially-restricted event. He also succinctly describes how the March 10th event broke both US and international law and why he refuses to let ethnicity = justification. "As Jews, we don't get to fly under the radar and break the law and hide it in a synagogue."
Not a single self-proclaimed "liberal" politician in the West ever complains about how, by trying to pass itself as "The Jewish Nation", Israel has been slandering the image of all Jews, including those Humanists who happen to be Jews, a large part of them being highly educated Westerners who are very much the opposite of the old-style ultra-racist religious supremacists that dominate in Israel.
If there is one thing this whole situation has made painfully clear is that if indeed it's all about "shared values" as we've been hearing from Western politicians for decades, then the values they share must be those of racial supremacism, as they're clearly not Humanist values.
Unsurprising you see the likes of Germany choosing "good jews" from "bad jews" (like how recently a german university revoked and invitation to an American Jew professor because he had criticised the acts of Israel in Gaza), same as in the old days.
Yes, I've noticed a lot of No True Scotsman fallacy as well, where dissenting voices are determined to be "not true Jews" or "antisemitic, self-hating Jews". In December the US Congress passed a law that explicitly states anti-Zionism = antisemitism, even over the objections of many members (mostly Democrats) including Jewish member Jerry Nadler. Here's a short video of Nadler calling the bill "either intellectually disingenuous or factually wrong" and explaining how Jews he has represented oppose Israeli policy without being antisemitic. Netanyahu has stated multiple times that anti-Zionism (in context = opposition to his policies) is the exact same thing as antisemitism.
There is an official, governmental, international battle to standardize what Jews are allowed to think. It completely disregards the fact that Jews are like any other ethnicity in that they represent a huge spectrum of beliefs and moralities, from saints to villains and everything in between. It's been proven time and again that judging people based on genetics or birthplace/residence only leads to injustice and suffering.

There was a CBC/frontburner episode on this, a real estate firm going around Canadian synagogues showing development projects on stolen land, its disgusting.
Yeah, and then there's the guy who fired a nail gun at pro-Palestine protesters at one of the events. "Hate was a factor in alleged nail gun assault on pro-Palestinian protesters in Vaughan: police"
It's disgusting.
And even if you go out of your way and dismiss morals, ethics, and international law, who in their right mind thinks that's a good investment? These properties, the whole region, is rife for conflicts and terrorism for... decades. Now more than ever.
so was the american west.
Now guess how much that land is worth
This is a really shitty time to be Jewish.
That's a very understandable thought for many really awful reasons. For what it's worth though, there are some folks who judge based on actions - not ethnicity or where a person was born/resides. I have a lot of admiration for Jews who are willing to speak up in support of human rights and ethical treatment. Especially since I have a Jewish friend who was shunned by their family in a cruel way for daring to speak and act with their conscience instead of according to pressure.
It's a worse time being a Palestinian, but of course most people can't overcome their internal racism to recognize or articulate it.
One bad thing does not negate another bad thing just because it's worse.
I like to think that the people who are Humanists and thus are the most intenselly against the way Israel is acting because of how much it goes against their Humanist Principles (you know, "though shall not mass murder people because of their etnicity"), are also the most likelly to not judge people badly just because of their religion, including in this situation people who are Jews and who given their own Principles are against the actions of Israel.
The problem as usual are the racists, the entire range of them, including those who are Jews, those who are anti-semite and those who whilst being non-Jews support Zionist supremacism or are simply Islamophobic.
For me the single most shocking thing in all this is how all the closet racists came out and we're seing things like Germany rabbidly defending Genocide with no other argument than the race of the aggressors, the very way of thinking as the supposedly "never again" old days.
That said, as others pointed out, the pain of Humanist Jews is nothing compared to what Palestinians are suffering at the hands of ultra-racist Jews and the racists supporting them in the West, so the Humanist Principle of "Minimizing Pain" would dictate that the pain of such Jews is far far behind in the order of priority of things to address than stopping the continued massacre of Palestinians.
Humanist Jews
By definition, there are no humanist jews
that's "disaster capitalism (read N. Klein for full understanding of what that entails) mixed with a real sh#tty situation in Gaza that was brewing for a long time. For all I can tell selected elite (on both sides) lines their pockets nicely while people are bring brainwashed and dying on both sides. On some days I really despise humanity...

FYI: medium credibility source Factual Reporting; mixed [mediabias link] (https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/truth-out/) Any other source available?
added: being downvoted for pointing this out won't change the source and it's info, though. Just shows you are very biased.
Read the article that you linked. 1 low credibility article in the past 2 decades.
A self-proclaimed media bias fact checker, which itself is not independently checked, is a perfect central point for a state actor to control the narrative by marking critical news sources as "untrustworthy" so as to reduce their impact-
You couldn't think of a better Propaganda Op for a state actor in the modern Internet age than setting up a centralized "media facts checker" that makes sure media sources who go along with the Propaganda are trusted and those who are criticial of it are distrusted.
(If you know about the concept of Chains Of Trust from IT/General Security it's pretty easy to see how this is nothing more than another link that adds no actual trust because it in itself is not supported by a chain going back to a trusted entity, by which point you might wonder why exactly such a fake "trusted" link has been set-up and who would gain from it)

But I could, I could simply write articles which are simply based on half truth and publish them for a wider public. Which is happening already on a huge scale.
So, I was asking for a better source, and then you are suggesting that I'm the one advocating state sponsored propaganda?
So, I wonder, out of curiosity, how would you objectively review news sources?
Here's another media factchecker: groundnews: mixed factuality rating. Also the credibility score is handed out by an external party Pointer Institute for Fact Checking , and I wasn't talking about the political left or right bias.
Land-grab has been ongoing for decades. (link guardian
This has been the most successful land-grab strategy since 1967,” said Yehuda Shaul, a prominent activist who is director of the Israeli Center for Public Affairs thinktank, and a founder of Breaking the Silence, an NGO that exposes military abuses in occupied areas.
Over the last year alone, 110,000 dunams, or 110 sq km (42 sq miles), was effectively annexed by settlers on herding outposts, he said. All the built-up settlement areas constructed since 1967 cover only 80 sq km.
It was also the biggest displacement of Palestinian Bedouins since 1972, when at least 5,000 – and perhaps as many as 20,000 – people were moved from the northern Sinai to make way for settlements, Shaul added.
if the name "truth out" wasn't telling enough already.
I really wonder why so many people seem to fall so easily for propaganda? It's so obvious? Like, I'm not talking about the well-made ones, the convincing ones, but these simple populist ones.
You published one biased story about GMOs 8 years ago, now we can't trust ANYTHING you say!!!
Great logic there
