Reality check.
Get out of your fucking own head.
No one cares about you.
No one cares if you stay stuck, tired, or “figuring things out.”
Everyone’s too busy fighting their own silent battles.
You’ve been waiting for the perfect moment.
It doesn’t exist.
You’ve been waiting for people to notice your potential.
They won’t until you make them.
Stop chasing validation from people who haven’t even built shit themselves.
Stop talking about what you could be.
Start showing it.
Get uncomfortable.
Go quiet.
And do the work no one will clap for
because that’s the only work that changes everything.

My take on the genocide question, at this moment in time.
* The 7/10 attack on Israel by Hamas, Islamic Jihad and thousands of Gazan civilians was genocidal in intent and practice.
* Hamas, Hezbollah and some leaders of the Palestinian Authority are genocidal toward Israelis in intent and often in practice.
* Official PA policy is not genocidal, with two notable exceptions: jihadist school curricula, and idolizing killers of Jewish civilians, also financially supporting their families.
* The statements of leading Israeli politicians (the vast majority of whom are from the coalition) and some celebrities are genocidical in intent.
* As far as I can judge from Israeli journalists, reliable analysts and people I know who fought in Gaza, the current war is ugly, dirty, includes war crimes, but it is not a genocide.
* Based on Israel’s future conduct and the availability of well-established facts, I will review my position if needed.
* The future ruling of the ICJ will probably impact my judgment, but this will also depend on the informed input of internationally recognized jurists.
* At this time, I therefore can’t and won’t agree or engage with people who take an Israeli genocide in Gaza to be a proven fact.
* Israel’s war in Gaza began as a just war (with a legal casus belli), but should and could have stopped, at least temporarily, to allow a hostage deal and far better humanitarian aid.
Deliberate starvation of civilians and plans for land grabbing are criminal and morally wrong.
* Wars are by definition horrific. This one is worse than many, and worse than it might have been. I blame Hamas first, the Israeli government second.
That’s it. I am trying to be honest with you and with my own conscience, and even this task is devilishly difficult.
Debate is welcome, trolling is not.

If you believe that the only reason a jihadist terror group (Hamas) has control of Gaza is military occupation of Palestine by Israel, then you need to look around the Middle East and ask yourself:
Why did a jihadist terror group (Houthis) also take over Yemen?
Why did a jihadist terror group (IRGC) also take over Iran/Persia?
Why did a jihadist terror group (Taliban) take over Afghanistan?
Why did a jihadist terror group (ISIS) take over large parts of Iraq and Syria?
Why did a jihadist terror group (Boko Haram) take over parts of Nigeria?
Why did a jihadist terror group (Janjaweed) take over large parts of Sudan and Chad?
Why did a jihadist terror group (Al Shabaab) take over parts of Somalia?
Why did a jihadist terror group (Hezbollah) take over large parts of Lebanon and then expand its activities and control even after Israel left Lebanon?
Seems to me like Hamas is part of a larger problem of jihadism that exists all across the Middle East.
Maybe it's time to move on from mediaeval times, and accept that jihadism and the idea of a Caliphate is a relic of the past that has no place in the modern world.

The synagogue I grew up going to, where my father still prays daily...

The attempted arson at @FederationCJA West Island and Congregation Beth Tikvah in Montreal is deeply disturbing. Antisemitism is completely unacceptable and must always be condemned – our government will continue to work with Jewish communities to combat this hatred.

"Apartheid"
Israel is being defined as an apartheid state by some because Palestinians (and their supporters) believe the entire territory is theirs. They don't view it in terms of two (or three) states, but rather as one.
Israel doesn't view itself as an apartheid state because functionally, Gaza/West Bank are basically already independent states. They do not occupy them. They see themselves as having and enforcing a border.
They view Gaza as governed by Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization, and the West Bank as an area governed by the Palestinian Authority.
An argument can be made that when Israel doesn't actively combat settlements, and Gaza relies on particular resources from Israel, there's a level of control. While the first is valid, of course, on the latter point, for some reason there's never complaints about Egypt, which also shares a border.
But I think this key difference of vision of one state vs two, is what causes some to view this as apartheid vs others being confused as to why they would use such terminology—particularly since those Palestinians or Arabs who are citizens of Israel enjoy completely equal rights.
This is in contrast with South Africa where institutionalised racial segregation existed within one entity.
