Related, essentially, if somewhat entertainingly…

“March 28: We Had to Hide the Truth in Order to Save It”—

H/T Powerline blog. 

BTW, the anti-Bibi demos are clearly following that good ole’ “Biden” Color Revolution script. 
(Gosh! Whoda thunk THAT???)
As such, might one wonder who’s funding it?

File under: “Biden” might be gone but “his” legacy lives on. HOLD ON! “He” hasn’t gone anywhere…]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Art Deco:

Gaza and the so-called West Bank are two of its immediate neighbors - sworn to destroy it.  Egypt has nominally been at peace with Israel for decades, but it helps the Palestinians in a host of ways and was responsible for allowing the Gazans to arm and facilitated that arming.  The Egyptian population is &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt%E2%80%93Israel_relations#:~:text=According%20to%20a%202019%E2%80%932020,prevalent%20in%20the%20Egyptian%20media.&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;anti-Israel&lt;/a&gt;.  Jordan&#039;s leaders are far more friendly towards Israel than Jordan&#039;s population, which is pretty indistinguishable from the Palestinians.  Lebanon has been run by Hezbollah, pretty much, which takes its marching orders from Iran. As for &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93Syria_relations&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;Syria&lt;/a&gt;: 
&lt;blockquote&gt;  The two countries have been locked in a perpetual war since the establishment of Israel in 1948, with their most significant and direct armed engagements being in the First Arab–Israeli War in 1948–1949, the Third Arab–Israeli War in 1967, and the Fourth Arab–Israeli War in 1973. Additionally, Israeli and Syrian forces also saw relatively extensive combat against each other during the Lebanese Civil War, the 1982 Lebanon War, as well as the War of Attrition. Both states have at times signed and held armistice agreements, although all efforts to achieve complete peace have been without success. Syria has never recognized Israel as a legitimate state and does not accept Israeli passports as legally valid for entry into Syrian territory; Israel likewise regards Syria as a hostile state and generally prohibits its citizens from travelling there, with some exceptions and special accommodations being made by both countries for Druze people residing in Syria and the Golan Heights (regarded by the United Nations as Syrian territory, occupied by Israel since 1967).[1][2] Israel and Syria have never established formal diplomatic relations since the inception of both countries in the mid-20th century.

In line with the lack of diplomatic relations and continuous state of war, there have been virtually no economic or cultural ties between Israel and Syria, and a limited movement of people across the border. Syria continues to be an active participant in the Arab League&#039;s boycott of Israel.&lt;/blockquote&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;The actual position of Israelis is so dire in terms of being surrounded by so many people sworn to destroy it and its inhabitants; &lt;/i&gt;
==
Israel hasn&#039;t been at war with an Arab state since 1973.  It&#039;s enemies are paramilitary gangs, several of whom are financed by Iran.  In different ways, the capacity of Hamas and the Hezbollah to accomplish much has been severely degraded.  The Houthis are a threat to shipping; they&#039;ll learn the hard way that others can shoot back.  Al Fatah and its hangers-on have been successfully contained for nearly 20 years.  As for state actors, Syria&#039;s productive capacity in comparison with that of any other country in the Near East may be as low as it has been in the last century.  Iran is a threat.  Iran&#039;s dispositions have been frozen in amber by the remarkable longevity of its current boss, who was second in command from 1981 and in charge from 1989.  He has a life expectancy of about five years.  NB, Iran in its antagonism to Israel was never motivated by reasons of state.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Steve (retired/recovering lawyer):

I&#039;m surprised you find it so hard to understand.

The actual position of Israelis is so dire in terms of being surrounded by so many people sworn to destroy it and its inhabitants; who wouldn&#039;t be eager to think things aren&#039;t quite as bad as all that?   Acknowledging the truth is very very depressing.

Same for anti-Semitism.  Its pervasiveness over time and place and circumstance is mind-boggling and hard to acknowledge.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Please note that in the 1973 legislative elections in Israel the Labor Party, the ancestors of Meretz, and political parties who later merged with the Labor Party captured 45% of the vote.  In 2022, the Labor Party and Meretz captured shy of 7% of the vote.  The Labor Party, btw, has for nearly 60 years been rather hard-headed compared with the majority faction of the Democratic Party in the United States.  In Israel, there are nationalist parties, there are social-liberal parties, there are religious parties, there are Arab interest parties who draw from different inspirations.  What we would call &#039;the left&#039; has largely withered away; you see the same story in a number of European countries.  In Israel, the left do occupy gatekeeper positions in the legal profession and they&#039;re motivated to attend large mass demonstrations, but they account for only a small fraction of the general public.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sorry to think that these hostage family members have nothing to cling to but wishcasting.  When one looks objectively at Israel&#039;s enemies, it is impossible to believe that any kind of peace is possible, unless it is the peace of the grave.  Whether the grave is occupied by Israelis or Arabs seems to be the only real choice.  Sadly, it also appears that there are many Israelis who prefer the grave for themselves and their country.  Like the democerat left in America and its unreasoning hate for all things Trump, they are consumed by an irrational hatred for Netanyahu.  I am unable to understand such a mindset.  Self-loathing only begins to describe it.]]></description>
