As a non-Jew I can impartially state that no ethnic group has accomplished as much intellectually. Preserving Israel is in the interests of all of humanity.
What a load of rubbish. Just because Jews have had it rough does not mean that the State of Israel is allowed to commit war crimes in Gaza. Israel has indiscriminately killed 1000s of innocents and razed the entire region, a response entirely disproportionate to the atrocities of Oct 7. It's another 9/11 scenario where everything goes just because the other side had the audacity to attack us. There's a reason Israel is hated & if the author of this Substack wasn't Jewish, I doubt this issue would be discussed to such length in a blog which used to be about Canadian Natives.
Blair, please remember my warning at the top of all these REAL Israel & Palestine posts:
"Subscribers who don’t want to receive posts about this issue can unsubscribe from this new section in either of two ways: ..."
I freely admit that I wanted to tap into my existing list of subscribers when I developed this new section of my newsletter -- instead of starting from scratch with no subscribers if I had created an entirely new site for the REAL Israel & Palestine posts -- but decided instead to make it clear that no existing subscriber would be forced to receive any of its posts, if they opted out.
Still, my REAL Israel & and Palestine posts are far and few between so my site has always been is mainly about Canadian indigenous issues.
Yep, absolutely will unsubscribe. I find these posts very one-sided and intellectually dishonest. Israel is committing war crimes and you're part of the apology crew helping to cover it up.
The theme of the article is built upon false ideas about ownership of land. I tried some time ago to point out the errors in an essay titled "The Contest Over Land". Oh-oh: file is lost.
In a nutshell, it said that land is not owned, it is held. So, Palestine is controlled by the group strong enough to hold it against challengers.

Great article, thank you !
I stand with Israel.
Great article. Love reading your posts
Ultra orthodox jews reject the israel and zionism (jewish nationalism) because it is a materialistic concept.

I enjoy your journalism but I don’t support Israel. The correct side is actually just the UN and international law.
Your arguments are incoherent on other issues? Why not apply the same principle to them?
