Jews for Middle Eastern people are the Hebrew tribe, Sephardic Jews, Middle Eastern Jews .. they Hebrew tribe
Ashkenazim are Europeans who took Judaism as a "religion".
As said before, HP an Atheist and looks at religion as a "hobby", respects it as long as it does not interfere with other people's lives.
Natanyahu and his friends, tried to take advantage of Holocaust credit, to empty Palestine of their original inhabitants (Arabs, Jews and Christians) and replace them with Russian and other "free loaders" .. West looked the other way, but now realizes that this can lead to a disaster for West, already happening.
The credit goes to Iran and mad mullahs.

Netanyahu represents the Khazarian oligarchs working out of Israel. They lost Kazakstan then the Ukraine. Crushing losses.
Likud is moving for control of world shipping and McKinder’s world island. The overlooked part is Israel fomenting sedition in Ethiopia through Falasha synagogues in Somalia/Somaliland.

Did not know about McKinder, so thank you for that.Nonc Hilaire wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 8:38 pm McKinder’s world island thesis. This is accepted geopolitical strategy since McKinder invented geopolitics as an academic discipline.
Seems a bit dated, to say the least. Also, not how events unfolded.Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland;
who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island;
who rules the World-Island commands the world.
— Mackinder, Democratic Ideals and Reality [1919], p. 150
A.F.K. Organski was more focused in his criticism. Those who have ruled East Europe, he wrote, have not commanded the world. "Extremists like Mackinder have gone too far."
I know of H.G. Wells as a writer of science-fiction.Jerusalem is the key. Has been since HG Wells wrote “The New World Order”.
Well, a second canal to the Red Sea is a very good idea as it would effectively double the volume of ships that could make use of the Red Sea shortcut past Africa.Would Israel plan on controlling world shipping? Has been announced with port in Gaza.

Would Israel need control of bab el-mandeb? Yes.
Well, better the Americans and Israelis securing freedom of navigation than having commercial shipping being held hostage by a bunch of Yahoos, pardon me, Houthis.Would a US attack on Yemen and Israeli corruption in the Red Sea help? Yes, indeed.

this puts the angry right wing into isolation mode and leaves us without projected power.
they are then double lucky that Trump is lots of things but he isnt actually a make things happen fascist.
he doesnt have the raw machismo, the drive, the charisma , to pick an angry country up and point at something with vengence.
if one of those pops up in europe or america, shits going to change real fast.

One of the harshest critics of H.G. Wells's world state idea was the British author George Orwell.[8] Whilst both writers considered socialist alternatives to their shared political climate, Orwell complained that Wells had no interest in the realities of politics.[53] Orwell derides Wells's idealism in his essay Wells, Hitler and the World State,[54] saying that, ‘what is the use in pointing out that a world state is desirable? What matters is that not one of the five great military powers would think of submitting to such a thing’.[55] Another point of contention for Orwell was the role of science in Wells's world state. Orwell argued that Wells confused scientific advancement with progress in societal values.[56] For Orwell, this flaw in thinking made it hard for Wells to reconcile the order, planning and scientific encouragement found within Nazi Germany and his vision of a world state run by a scientific elite.[57]
One only need to look at the nonsense emanating from the ruling classes in Europe, Canada, and the US.What I most disliked about Harvard was that smug assumptions were too often treated as substitutes for evidence or logic.
The idea seemed to be that if we bright and good fellows all believed something, it must be true.

On the hand, you keeps posting links to text and videos by various politicians, think tank hacks, journalists, and NGO useful idiots all of whom hold strong opinions with regards to the current war in Gaza, while at the same time having nothing at risk - I think that the American expression is "having no skin in the game".
So as far as I'm concerned, their opinions on "what Israel should do" are worth exactly bupkes.
A group of Jewish leaders has sent a letter to Harvard defending criticism of Israel from scholars and supporting the embattled co-chair of the school's task force on antisemitism ..
More than 60 Jewish leaders from across the country backed Penslar in a letter arguing that attacks on scholars like Penslar posed dangers.
The Jewish leaders called Penslar "a distinguished historian and a leading scholar of Jewish and Israel studies" who "provides valuable expertise."
In the letter to Harvard, the Jewish leaders said Penslar's knowledge about antisemitism was "unparalleled," and his perspective on Israel would help students have thoughtful conversations.
"We are deeply concerned about recent efforts limiting open Israel debate on college campuses. These initiatives conflate disagreement with Israel's policies with antisemitism."
U.S. President Joe Biden issued an executive order on Thursday that aims to punish Jewish settlers who attack Palestinians in the occupied West Bank following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel.
Biden's order establishes a system for imposing financial sanctions and visa restrictions against individuals who are found to have attacked or intimidated Palestinians or seized their property, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement.
The order freezes any U.S. assets of those targeted and generally bars Americans from dealing with them. The State Department on Thursday also planned to announce the first four individuals hit by the order, two senior Biden administration officials told reporters.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, head of the far-right pro-settlement party Religious Zionism, was defiant in a statement on the Biden order :
"The 'settler violence' campaign is an antisemitic lie that enemies of Israel disseminate with the goal of smearing the pioneering settlers and settlement enterprise, and to harm them and thus smear the entire State of Israel," Smotrich said.
PARIS, Nov 16 (Reuters) - France on Thursday condemned violence by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, calling it a "policy of terror" aimed at displacing Palestinians and urging Israeli authorities to protect Palestinians from the violence.
U.N. figures show that daily settler attacks have more than doubled, since the Hamas attacks on Israel on Oct. 7 and the ensuing assault on the Palestinian enclave of Gaza.
"Concerning the West Bank, I'd like to express the strongest condemnation by France of the violence carried out by the settlers against the Palestinians," foreign ministry spokesperson Anne-Claire Legendre told a press conference.
.. Biden administration’s stance has apparently changed and the Saudis are emphasizing a pathway to a Palestinian state as a precondition for normalization.
A senior U.S. official told Axios that some inside the Biden administration believe that unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state should be the first step in talks to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict instead of the last.
