I struggle to see the point in this experiment.

By the way, I have a lot of serious criticisms of Obama which shows me to be balanced. Do you have a single serious criticism of Trump-Christ?
You will see who profitted more from being president, you can do th same for Biden too

I didnt support Trump in 2016, I didnt support Trump in 2020. Until I saw the failure of the Democrats in Bidens regime before I supported him in 2024

I fully supported Obama in 2008. I was at Grant Park where he gave his victory speech in November 2008 until I saw the left for what it is. A parade of victimhood

It is not minding your business to expand illegally into the West Bank, practice apartheid there against the Palestinians and cage the people of Gaza in an open air prison.
No. This is a lie. I was aware when Israel left Gaza in 2005 under Ariel Sharon. and what did Hamas do in Gaza? They turned it into a terror base to terrorize Israel

You know Gazans go to Israel daily for work, You know they go to Israel for medical treatment while any Israeli caught in Gaza will likely be killed

You see that facts dont care about your emotions

As per the bold the question is whether the profit is legal or illegal. Insider trading, conflict of interest and abuse of office make the profit illegal or at the minimum unethical. But if you write books about your presidency which sell millions, that is perfectly legit.

I do have issues with the left too.

Well said. The truth is that the generality of the "returnee" so called European Jews cannot be shown to be the Israelites of old. It is not surprising that most of them are noticeably white. The Israelites of old were not white.
Ignorance. They are Semitic. But do you know that someone can be biracial too, or is this concept new to you? According to you, White people living in Europe and feeling safe decided to relocate to that small land where they have to fight for their lives. 🤣

Living in Europe for aprix 1,000+ years led to:
Intermarriage to varying degrees.

adaptation to local populations
Result is wide range of appearances from very Middle Eastern-looking to European-looking.

You don't know this? Hitler was just killing white people calling them Jews?

Israel was minding its business when Palestinan thugs Hamas went to kill them on October not military target but concert goers, boys and girls who went to party were graped, killed and burned

Israel was going to get Hamas thugs who hide themselves with among Palestinian civilians, if Hamas will separate themselves from the civilians you will not see casualties

Its like you punch me, I now want to punch you back then you go hide behind your 4yr old
The conflict between Israel and Gaza did not start on that October 7.

Israel has had many murderous attacks on Palestine for over 30 years.

Who threw the first blow? The Isreali came to Palestine in 1948 to create isreal and then kept on expanding israels borders and eating Palestine land.

You are not aware of the fact that there are many rights denied even Israeli Arabs.

Learn -

--------------------
In Israel, "Israeli Arabs" (primarily identifying as Palestinian citizens of Israel) are subject to various laws and policies that human rights organizations, legal experts, and international bodies identify as discriminatory. These range from high-level constitutional definitions to specific administrative practices.

1. Constitutional and Nation-State Policies
The Jewish Nation-State Law (2018): This Basic Law (which has constitutional status) defines Israel as the "nation-state of the Jewish people," declaring that the right to national self-determination is "unique to the Jewish people." It downgraded Arabic from an official language to a "special status" and identifies Jewish settlement as a "national value" to be encouraged.

The "Nakba Law": This policy allows the government to reduce or withhold funding from public institutions (such as schools or municipalities) that commemorate the Nakba (the 1948 displacement of Palestinians) or challenge the definition of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.

2. Land, Housing, and Planning
Admissions Committees Law: This law allows hundreds of small, semi-private communities (built on state-owned land) to use "social suitability" as a criterion to vet potential residents. Critics argue this is used as a legal mechanism to prevent Arab citizens from living in Jewish-majority towns.

Inequity in Land Allocation: Approximately 93% of land in Israel is state-controlled. Historically, almost no new Arab towns have been established since 1948, while hundreds of Jewish towns have been. This has led to severe overcrowding and a lack of master plans in Arab municipalities, making "illegal" construction a necessity for many.

The Kaminitz Law: An amendment to the Planning and Building Law that significantly increased penalties and expedited demolition orders for unauthorized construction. Because Arab towns often lack approved zoning plans, they are disproportionately affected by these "administrative" demolitions.

3. Family and Citizenship
Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law: This law (renewed regularly) generally prohibits Palestinians from the West Bank or Gaza who marry Israeli citizens from receiving legal status or residency in Israel. While framed as a security measure, the UN and rights groups point out it applies almost exclusively to Arab citizens, effectively preventing them from living with their spouses in their home country.

4. Socio-Economic and Resource Disparities
Education Funding: While the gap has narrowed in recent years, significant disparities persist in per-student funding between the Arab and Jewish sectors, particularly in the "National-Religious" school tracks.

Socio-Economic Development: Arab municipalities often receive lower per-capita grants and have a smaller tax base due to a lack of industrial zones (which the state usually zones for Jewish municipalities), leading to lower-quality public services and infrastructure.

5. Criminal Justice and Freedom of Expression
Counter-Terrorism Law Application: Recent reports (2024–2025) suggest that the Counter-Terrorism Law's provisions regarding "speech-related offenses" (like "liking" posts or expressing support) are applied with a distinct standard. Data from legal aid groups like Adalah shows that the vast majority of arrests for "incitement" involve Arab citizens, while similar rhetoric from Jewish citizens often goes unprosecuted.

The "Infiltrators" Law: Though primarily targeting asylum seekers, the legal framework for "infiltrators" often overlaps with policies affecting the status of non-Jewish residents and their families.

Israel came to their ancestral home after the UN gave them the piece of land in 1948, and since then the Palestinians and other Arab nations went to war with them which they lost every time

When you go to war and lose, there are consequences, that is what happened in Golan height from Syria, Gaza, Sinai from Egypt, West Bank from Jordan

It is history book. The Bible talked about the Jews, the land, the Quran talked about the Jews the land. What the bible and the Quran never mentioned are the Palestinians.

The Jews have always been there, build the first temple, conquered, they were allowed to build the second temple.

That's not a fact. Many Jews that were exiled returned to the Jewish state that was created. Jordan is supposed to be part of Israel because that was a British mandate too.

But the Jews are okay with what they got, why do the so-called Palestinians want blood and want everything?
Wrong.

Are you saying that descendants of Canaanites and Samaritans who lived in Palestine should come back after over a 1,000 years and claim part of israel/Palestine land too?

Secondly, even Jewish lawyers will tell you that there are terms like abandonment, adverse possession and usupcatiion.

If we were to use common law, the very fact that land was left by Jews for over a 1,000 years, then they have not only abandoned it but also forfeited it to those who have had possession of it.
