the Jewish solution seems to mean shooting people in a barrel.

It is an Israeli solution to "the Palestinian problem." Jews outside Israel are not enthralled.

"they are not true jews" or "they are not real jews"
it's not like they walk out of israel to their homeland, maybe that is why israel was designated to keep this "killing in the name of" to an area.
they have resources and their export is?? a tablet?
it isn't what i have heard told to me that the world owes me something.

Iran launched the drones..

Israel has hours to shoot em down...

there is nothing wrong with judaism.

but israel has become a threat to world peace.

case in point- they bomb the embassy of the odious iranians in damascus. nobody sheds tears for iran, or should.

but now the united states is backing israel for its assault on a diplomatic mission in a third country. it will suit the israelis just fine if the US goes to war on their behalf in the middle east and escalates the conflict with US big guns in their support.

i see no other reason for them to have bombed the iranian embassy except to make the whole thing worse and suck in their big brother to defend them.

maybe bobby jindal can run for prime minister of israel.

now cruise missiles in the air from iran,
Israel has a functional defense

[none]

now back to killing Palestinians.

israel has escalated tensions. now tehran says it will retaliate directly against israel if it is attacked again.

biden has announced the only intelligent policy he has pursued in this mess, which is to tell israel he wont attack iran for them.

we ll see whether israel behaves.

[Shnozzola]

The wisdom of how stupid "an eye for an eye" is, but the world keeps on practicing it, hoping for a new outcome.

(Iran/Israel thinks, "Oh, if we pay them back, they'll stop")

You can substitute anything from criminals to nations.

Edit:  and you see Biden today asking Bibi to not retaliate, but the middle east cultures love "an eye for an eye".  Not to mention American Redneck pseudo Christian culture that screams  "we hate the weakling Biden, turn the desert to glass" every chance they get.

Columbia University faces full-blown crisis as rabbi calls for Jewish students to 'return home'

CNN  —

Columbia University is facing a full-blown crisis heading into Passover as a rabbi linked to the Ivy League school urged Jewish students to stay home and tense confrontations on campus sparked condemnation from the White House and New York officials.

The atmosphere is so charged that Columbia officials announced students can attend classes and even possibly take exams virtually starting Monday – the first day of Passover, a major Jewish holiday set to begin in the evening.

Tensions at Columbia, and many universities, have been high ever since the October 7 terror attack on Israel by Hamas. However, the situation at Columbia escalated in recent days after university officials testified before Congress last week about antisemitism on campus and pro-Palestinian protests on and near campus surged.

Since this thread is under "Religious News", here is a Seder address delivered among the tents at Columbia University by Naomi Klein.

We need an exodus from Zionism
This Passover, Jews don't need or want the false idol of Zionism. We want freedom from the project that commits genocide in our name

I've been thinking about Moses, and his rage when he came down from the mount to find the Israelites worshipping a golden calf.

The ecofeminist in me was always uneasy about this story: what kind of God is jealous of animals? What kind of God wants to hoard all the sacredness of the Earth for himself?

But there is a less literal way of understanding this story. It is about false idols. About the human tendency to worship the profane and shiny, to look to the small and material rather than the large and transcendent.

What I want to say to you tonight at this revolutionary and historic Seder in the Streets is that too many of our people are worshipping a false idol once again. They are enraptured by it. Drunk on it. Profaned by it.

That false idol is called Zionism.
••••
Zionism is a false idol that has taken the idea of the promised land and turned it into a deed of sale for a militaristic ethnostate
••••
[a lot of stuff left out here, but it it's worth reading -k]
••••
We, in these streets for months and months, are the exodus. The exodus from Zionism.

[none]

militaristic ethnostate
yeah and all we have to do to be good Christians nationalists is believe
and there in zion it isn't really a choice it is compulsory...
be proud of ethnicity, race is different...

That is accurate. But there is more to it, she knows. The children have seen dogs eating the bodies. A human leg lying by a fence. So yes they are scared. But revolted too, and uncomprehending. The children who once had a home, went to school, lived according to the established rhythms of their family and community, are now refugees in a place that reeks of death.

Hell is here on earth,...theological 'hell' is to artificial as a concept to really impress.

But i will stop here, i simply cannot understand why humans do this to one another. 
I do know who is making a truckload of money as we speak.
Our whole society sucks from top to bottom,....civilization is just a thin layer if chrome upon a huge pile of rust.
