NPR Says Those Blaming Israel for Attack ‘Highlighted’ Israel’s Behavior, Downplays ‘From the River to the Sea’ Chant
UK Daily Mail ^ | October 11 2023 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 10/11/2023 7:25:39 AM PDT by knighthawk

On Tuesday’s “Morning Edition,” co-host Michel Martin stated that activists who blamed Israel for the Hamas attacks on it, “highlighted Israel’s ongoing treatment of Palestinians in the generations-old conflict over land” while National Desk Correspondent Brian Mann characterized the “From the river to the sea” chant as one that, “by some interpretations, calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state with borders that could effectively erase Israel from the map.”

Martin said that “some Americans also marched in support of Palestinians or issued statements blaming Israel. These activists highlighted Israel’s ongoing treatment of Palestinians in the generations-old conflict over land.”

Evan Newsmax is downplaying the chants. The other day, they showed an Arab mob in Australia chanting, “gas the Jews!” but they bleeped out “gas.”

“Martin said that “some Americans also marched in support of Palestinians or issued statements blaming Israel. These activists highlighted Israel’s ongoing treatment of Palestinians in the generations-old conflict over land.”

There is a simple answer to the folks like Martin, which is in the form of a question: Just how is it you are supposed to treat people whose political leaders openly say they want to destroy you???

Whenever Israel retaliates the Palestinians photograph the dead bodies (or not dead, just staged). It’s these photos the propagandists are using to malign the Jews. In some cases they are the bodies of those killed by the Hamas rockets.

I think these monsters should be thrown into the sea with a millstone wrapped around their necks.

Here’s a fact the BBC and others always fail to tell you:

There’s hundreds of thousands of Arab Muslims that live in Israel, vote, serve in the Armed Forces, and some even are members of the Knesset.

The best country for an Arab Muslim to live is Israel, and it’s not even close.

Yup.

It’s like the Left insisting black Americans get their own country.

Sure.

They (the Anglo/British) are the culprits responsible for this disaster over 100 years ago.

I'm not sure they can come clean now.

“From the river to the sea” chant as one that, “by some interpretations, calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state with borders that could effectively erase Israel from the map.”

"By some interpretations"? How could that be interpreted to mean anything else.

No it's not!

Nothing can justify the sub-human events Hamas launched against the Isralies.

But, the Palestinians have a logical argument that dates back to the Brits carving up the Middle East 100 years ago and then sending the Jews to Israel and encouraging other countries to do the same. The Jews went.

You know, like our country is being changed by millions of illegal immigrants. The only difference is we are still in the majority -- at least for now.

There is not a simple, lasting solution to this huge problem, probably short of Armageddon. But one thing is certain, there is hate and plenty of it -- and more is being created every day.

This will not end well.

I disagree with everything except the last sentence.

Most of the Arabs in Palestine came from Egypt after the Jews did and worked on the farms. Before that much was wilderness.

The land was Jewish, then Roman, then Chrisitan, then Muslim, then Christian again, and then Muslim, Turkish, and finally British then Jewish.

Actually, we may agree more than we disagree.

I was going back to modern times (early part of the 20th century) when the British drew up the borders and made promises to everybody for their help in the war, knowing there was no way those promises could be kept -- after the war and after drawing up the Middle East borders to suit themselves.

I know. To the victors go the spoils -- but there just may be ongoing maintenance and a price for those spoils. I would argue we are paying the price now.

I certainly don't dispute going back a few millennia.

I guess one could do the same for the ole' USA. Who was here before we arrived, and who fought for the land we live on?

Anyway, there must be a solution, and I hope it is not the annihilation of one or the other -- or even you and me ('cause there is a path to the "you and me" outcome).
