The stock market and the economy are now almost independent of each other. What we can be sure of is that the life of the average person and the stock market are in no manner connected. The stock market thrives on the pain of the public

Why would Hamas need hostages if Israel has agreed to a cease-fire...oh yes, Israel has stated publicly they will keep attacking despite any ceasefire which is an ongoing pattern

I notice you use 1947 as your starting point as this allows you to ignore the fact that settler who supported the creation of Israel bought their land from absentee Ottoman empire landlords. You also ignore the Arab uprising in the 1930's which those same settlers help the UK crush any arab resistance to settler taking their land.

I have not mentioned being Jewish as it is completely unimportant to this discussion. Israeli empire is a nationalist and imperialist which is completely independent of religion. Israel and its supporters try to conflate religion into anti-semitism as this allows them to paint opponents to government policies of ethnic cleansing and genocide as bad people

Israel gave back land they conquered...how kind they are. I said Israel, the state, faces no threat to its existence. There is no moral equivalent to a nuclear power with vast military equipment challenging men with assault rifles at best or teenagers with rocks. Israel could have settled this with favourable terms 70 years ago but benefits from empire building

Historical? You need to got back to the old testament to say those words which is just ridiculous. By that logic Italy can reclaim the Roman Empire which would include the Middle East which is just silly. The 'terra nullius' is equally foolish. The land was stolen with the help of the British or bought from absentee Ottoman Empire landlords (in the early days) or later stolen.

Yes, I agree but Mufti was tempted due to British colonialism which was bad but not as bad as the insanity of Nazism.

Yes, Israel and usa forced/bribed Egypt and Jordan to agree to peace. Gaza is not a war and Israel's leader has shown no real interest in the hostages. There is no real threat to Israel existence. The threat is to it building an empire which is which it keeps taking land

I hate to disagree but isn't that the whole history of modern Israeli military?

The Grand Mufti was wrong and saw the Nazis as another imperial power and not the horror it was. Many in Asia felt that the Japanese empire was the same as the Western empire and learned there are varying degrees of imperialism and cruelty

The small boat is such a danger to the Israeli government that they are going to attack. This is because this small boat signals that Palestinians are human which is lethal to their government policy of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
