In the 21st century, anti-Zionism means anti-Semitism

[canada-man]

anti Jewish terrorist Waseem Awawdeh—who said “If I could do it again, I would” of his 2021 antisemitic attack on Joseph Borgen—pleaded guilty on Tuesday to attempted assault and criminal weapon possession.

He will be sentenced to a year-and-a-half in prison for the two crimes, a Manhattan district attorney spokesperson told Jewish Insider.



Awadeh, 23, struck Borden four times with a crutch in May 2021, which hospitalized the Jewish man. Borden had been on his way to a pro-Israel rally, in response to more than 4,000 rockets that terror groups based in the Gaza Strip fired at Israel.

“They hit me with fists, kicked me, hit me with crutches, hit me with signs,” Borgen told the New York Daily News in 2021. “They were saying, ‘You dirty Jew, [expletive] Israel, go back to your country.’ ”

Awadeh previously was to receive a lighter sentence of six months, which drew public outcries.

Why do you keep trying to claim that only Palestinian terrorism counts?
...

Wow, your usual stupidity. Even my posts this week agree that there is terrorism from militant Israeli settlers.

The question I was asking is why do you refuse to acknowledge there is such a thing as terrorism from militant Palestinians?

 

[basketcase]

If it was terrorism it should be investigated.
Take it to the ICC.
...

And the racist double standard. Condemn Israel for every random accusation you see on twitter yet refuse to criticize Palestinians unless the ICC okays it.


Why are you so desperate to avoid admitting that there are terror attacks by Palestinians on Israel's side of the Green Line. You can't even use your excuse that Jews don't belong in the West Bank so they deserve it.


It's pretty fucked up that you treat numbers heavily made up of Palestinian armed combatants as innocent victims while claiming that Jews simply being in the West Bank makes them legitimate targets. Even your source admits that half of them are fighters.


P.s. Are you going to continue your claims about peace and human rights while ignoring that more than half of Palestinians think violence is a solution and endorse killing of Israeli civilians?

“According to decades-long international agreements, known as the status quo, Al-Aqsa Mosque is an Islamic site where unsolicited visits, prayers and rituals by non-Muslims are forbidden.
...

And? That same agreement says Jews ARE ALLOWED to visit at certain times like the time that the people in the incitement were there. Just another case where you don't care about what Palestinians say because you are saying the WAQF shouldn't have allowed them to be there.

Maybe by the time you reach grade 12 they will teach you about formulating a coherent argument.

Grandpa….why can’t you produce a source? That would appear to be the most basic element of a coherent argument….is time catching up with you?

“Israeli groups, in coordination with Israeli authorities, have long violated the delicate arrangement and facilitated daily raids of the site, performing prayers and religious rituals without permission from Palestinians or Jordan, which is the custodian of Islamic and Christian sites in Jerusalem.”

Are you actually trying to equate people who violate international law by being illegal settlers living in illegal settlements and who are engaged in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians with Palestinians who are defending themselves from these illegal settlers and settlements who are working in coordination with the IDF to ethnically cleanse them?

If you are, your anti Palestinian bigotry is on full display. You sound like a relic from an old Afrikaner generation.

there is terrorism from militant Israeli settlers.

Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians by the numbers
Between 2010 and 2019, nearly 3,000 Israeli settler attacks killed at least 22 Palestinians and injured 1,258 others across the occupied West Bank.

B'tselem lists 980 settler attacks, backed by the state.

https://www.btselem.org/settler_violence_updates_list

Including 66 attacks this year alone that you identify as terrorism.
That includes calling the Pogrom on Huwarah, with over 400 settlers attacking an entire village just one single attack.

The numbers say that Israelis commit far more acts of terrorism than Palestinians.
If you are really against terrorism you should have taken a stand against these attacks and support a call for investigations leading to charges.

But you haven't.
You only seem to think Palestinian terrorism is a problem.

There are terrorist attacks from both sides, but far more are committed by Israelis.
You refuse to call for both sides to be investigated, as I do.

You are the one with a racist double standard, you admit settler attacks are terrorism but refuse to call for those to be investigated.
Instead you call for assassinations of Palestinians through IDF death squads.

Support the rule of law.
Back a call for all parties to be held equally to the law.

Every one of these attacks on Palestinian civilians has one goal…the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The Palestinians live there legally - Israel’s live in the occupied territories illegally, in violation of international law.

Only racist scum think self defence includes attacking civilians who were not engaged in acts of violence.

NOTHING justifies targeting of unarmed civilians. NOTHING. You would do well to remember that while living peacefully in Canada. Anyone who does is a fucking kook.

 

[basketcase]

There are terrorist attacks from both sides, ...

I love when you are eventually forced to admit that some Palestinians commit acts of terror. Still waiting for you to explain why you keep referring to them as "self defence".

And where do you get the idiotic idea that I don't want settler militants to be arrested? It does happen but not enough. On the other hand, I have never seen you call on the PA to arrest terror suspects, you keep condemning Israel for trying to arrest terror suspects and condemn Israel for shooting back at them.

Just more asinine double standard from you.


And why are you unwilling to condemn the more than half of Palestinians who think violence is a solution and support attacks on Israeli civilians inside Israel.

Have they not taught you how to read from your own sources son? Is it that you simply reject anything that hurts your feelings?

Jerusalem’s Status Quo Agreement: History and Challenges to Its Viability

In all initiatives and negotiations for a final and peaceful settlement between Israel and Palestine, Jerusalem has proved to be the toughest final-status issue among those that were left to be resolved in negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians following the Oslo Accords. Al-Aqsa...

BTW. Why are you so opposed to the Islamic WAQF allowing Jews to occasionally visit? And why do you think Jews should be banned from visiting their holiest site?

Ah, the wonderful endorsement of killing people because you think Jews shouldn't be allowed in the West Bank.

Interesting claim.

But considering you consider it 'terrorism' when Israeli police try and arrest suspected terrorists or when they shoot back and Palestinian gunmen....


p.s. If even the suspect 'rights' group you quote says half of the dead Palestinians are militants...

...
So far in 2023, IOF attacks killed 99 Palestinians, including 51 civilians; 16 of them were children and 1 woman, and the rest were members of the Palestinian armed groups, including 2 children, 7 killed by settlers, and one died in Israeli prisons. Meanwhile, 456 Palestinians, including 60 children, 3 women and 11 journalists, were injured.
...

Why do these armed groups even allow children to be members?

Interesting. You find it disgusting when Israeli forces shoot a a guy throwing rocks at them but celebrate when Palestinian gunmen kill a mother and her two daughters while driving down the road.

Am I critical of this shooting? Quite probably the police could have not shot. That said, it's laughable when you and franky pretend to care

Grandpa, your language is different when you are talking about Palestinians killing illegal Israeli settlers. Your anti Palestinian bigotry in black and white.

When talking about Israeli’s killing Palestinians.

Quite probably the police could have not shot.

Neither the PA, Hamas or Israel have a good track record for arrests.
That's why you should join me in supporting outside sources to investigate and/or charge as merited.
Bring in the ICC on all parties.

Interesting claim, now you call Israeli death squads 'police'.
Only problem is they mostly assassinate people and don't really do arrests.
