business to wade into political waters, and especially issues as complicated as the middle east
and it's sometimes risky for people to point fingers

(4,293 posts)now its gotten to a point of absolute nonsense and ridiculousness.
The Jerusalem Post is a Right wing English newspaper .
The headlines call them " Jewish Students " then they clarify them as " Israeli " .
Would have been more honest to clarify them as ......Over 1,000 religious Right wing Israeli university students who support the settlers and the occupation of the West Bank that they call Judea and Samaria.
To me its a cry of desperation Mosby ......and its laughable .

(17,448 posts)The students or whatever you want to call them are making a legit point, many US citizens live on stolen land, unlike Israel, where Jews have been living for millenia.
The desperation is coming from Israel haters who just can't seem to destroy one of the oldest democracies in the world.
Yeah, Israel is number 20:

(4,293 posts)what are they so worried about ????
How long do you think we will remain a democracy if those that support the settlers have their way
and we annex what I call the West Bank and you prefer to call Judea and Samaria ?????????????????????
I guess you also call Ben and Jerry self hating Jews
Mosby
(17,448 posts)So who exactly is going to annex Judea and Samaria?
Israeli
(4,293 posts)most defiantly NOT those of us that call it The West Bank

(17,448 posts)It had a name already יהודה and שומרון. For thousands of years.
lets discard the " "slave name" created by Jordan " and go to the other option .
The Occupied Territories.
Here in Israel we prefer the " "slave name" created by Jordan " , dafka it sounds better .
Never feals good being reminded that we are occupiers .
Our religious right wing love to go back thousands of years ........us we prefer the more recent
past .....with facts to back us up .
