Israel and US relations?
Just a few questions... 1. With Israel selling technology to the United State's rival (China), are they trying to break ties with the US? I understand that Israel doesn't want to be dependent on any country, but why are they stabbing the US in the back with this? I don't mean to offend anyone but most Americans are starting to think the US-Israel alliance is coming to an end because of this. 2. Has Israel asked for US military support? I know the WB and Gaza is not a war zone like Iraq or Afghanastan but I heard surrounding nations are attacking Israel, I don't know it seems like if they were actually fighting they would call for support. 3. What are Israel's relations to other US allies, UK, South Korea, Australia, etc? It's just I've always heard the US and Israel paired together and not any other nation. 4. Does Israel even like the US? There's a lot of mixed opinions in the states but what do the Israelis feel towards America. These questions might seem kind of offensive to Israelis but it's not my intent. I'm actually a big Israel supporter and believe in not "giving up" the West Bank or Gaza Strip. If I messed up on any facts or anything please don't be too harsh I'm no expert, just a high school student obsessed with politics.
What countries have publicly condemned Israeli terror attacks against Palestine?
Only Islamic countries have condemned Israel for terrorism. While it is true that many countries - all of them, to be honest - have expressed outrage over Israel's actions in Gaza, describing them as "disproportionate", it is only the Islamic countries that use the word "terrorism" (and the communist dictatorships) to describe these actions. The reason for this is their religion and societal views. Arab societies value religion over rights, logic, education, politics, etc. The most prominent and common denominator of the countries which have called Israel a terrorist state is that they are authoritarian regimes, if not outright dictatorships.
Why isn't the Western world condemning Israel after the "Breaking the Silence" report released by IDF soldiers details the Army's targeting of civilians?
Because Israel operates a systematic hounding of anyone who speaks out against Israel’s brutal policies and occupation. In the UK, Israel had operatives (Shai Masot etal) who were tasked to bring down any politicians that weren’t sympathetic to Israel or who criticised Israel in any way. This particular incident was highlighted in a documentary ‘The Lobby’ - after which Masot was sent back to Israel. The recent changes to the definition of ‘anti-Semitism’ includes criticism of Israel - again to smear anyone in public office who dares to speak out to condemn Israel’s state sanctioned murders. The reason the Labour Party in the UK is being targeted by pro-Israeli organisations nd labelled as being ‘anti-Semitic’ is because its leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has been a long time supporter of Palestinian human rights and Israel is trying to prevent Labour gaining power in the UK.The Shai Masot affair is only one of many such operations. Israel currently pays students to spread Israeli propaganda on social media: Students offered grants if they tweet pro-Israeli propaganda. Israel has an official ‘hasbara’ (propaganda) department but also an ‘anti-BDS’ department - both with substantial budgets.
Do you think Israel is occupier?
It;s not about what any of us THINK, Hon..it's about FACTS. And Israel is currently the only nation in the world that is being allowed to occupy another peoples' land. Look on any current map or globe: the West Bank is depicted as a shaded area indicating that it's "occupied". Colonization is strictly prohibited by United Nations mandates, but Israel is constructing new settlements in the West Bank as we speak. Israel may not be "occupying" Gaza, per se, but it has complete control over Gaza's imports, exports, utilities and shore. Israel is EVIL personified, and the sooner that people realize it, the sooner the world can and will be at peace. Ignore "Mistyblue"...she's an imposter and a fake, NOT to be confused with the REAL "Misty Blue".
Why is Japan so anti-Israel?
Is it true that GOD still loves with an everlasting love, Israel? and, defends Israel. Read this: "Significance of Japan's March 11, 2010, statements about Israel and their-Japan's disaster. Many it seems were very surprised by the intensity of Japan's statements on March 11, 2010, about Jerusalem, the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and Jewish home construction. The Japanese statements of last year about Israel-one year later to the day: Tragedies hit Japan: earthquake, tsunami and nuclear plants and their economy is severely hurt. Coincidence? Japan's financial gifts to the Palestinians were not spoken of in the media. It seems God was watching, though-nothing is hidden from His view. God doesn't lie, his faithfulness to Israel is everlasting. To the Jew first then the Gentile. The Japanese's strong and specific words about Israel's land: Japan deplores construction by Jews in East Jerusalem and the West Bank; Japan condemns Jewish home building in East Jerusalem; Japan does not recognize the annexations of East Jerusalem by Israel; Japan urges Israel to refrain from unilateral acts that change the current situation in East Jerusalem, etc. The Japanese are supposed to be friends of Israel but, these statements about Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria were strong statements. Additionally, many were surprised Japan made these statements independently rather than letting the Quartet speaking for it around the time of Joe Biden's visit to Israel last March. Twelve months to the day after Japan made its first major statement on March 11, 2010, the fourth strongest earthquake ever recorded struck in Japan (on March 11, 2010). One year earlier to the very day, of the 9.1 earthquake and tsunami, Japan made this declaration: “The Government of Japan deplores the decisions of the Government of Israel to give permission for the construction of 1,600 housing units in East Jerusalem in addition to 112 units in West Bank,” (Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs March 11, 2010). God says those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. After Japan “deplores” Israel building houses, many thousands of homes are destroyed in Japan. For the past year, Japan had increased its anti-Israel rhetoric. Should we soberly consider the connection?
Why does the UK censure Israel while still occupying Ireland?
As a forner British soldier of some service I can assure that Britain does not ‘occupy’ Ireland in any way, shape or form.The province of Northern Ireland, the six counties of Ulster, is British territory.Of course you may know that there are in fact nine counties of Ulster but three of those were ceded to the ‘Irish Free State’ when Ireland was given its Independance; Monaghan, Cavan and Donegal. Ulster is the area that was strongly opposed to being ruled by the ‘'Free State” as this is where the greatest of the ‘plantations’ occured. This was the influx of Protestant settlers ‘planted’ into Ireland to settle there during the 16/17th centuries.So Northern Ireland is British territory. The other twenty-six counties belong to the Republic of Ireland. The Republic is an Independant country and is not in anyway occupied by Britain. So Ireland is not occupied by Britain. The island of Ireland has a British presence, but that is British territory as previously agreed. So Ireland is still not occupied by Britain.As for the plantations? Morally wrong? A very different time and era. Nowadays it is deemed not acceptable, times gone by, no one cared.As for Israel, I personally have no issue with Israel or the Israelly occupation of territory that previously belonged to their assailants. As for Britains objection, Britain has become a whinging, whining state that seems to get off on moralising at others about utopian neo-liberalistic values that have no place in the real world. Or so I believe.For all the ‘knockers’ out there, everything here is from memory and not researched facts so there may be omissions.
What is Britain offering in the Arab-Israeli conflict?
The situation with Britain is complicated and it is effected by the Brexit.In the one hand, UK doesnt want to spoil the relationship with the EU. UK wants to withdraw with good agreements.In the other hand, UK knows that in the post-EU era, europe will think twice by helping UK. So Britain searches for other allies.First Russia- the closest european country which doesnt part of the EU, can help with the gas supply. In the Russian eyes, UK condemns Israel.Second USA- the closest ally in its history (the Special Relationship). In the American eyes, UK supports Israel.Third Israel- this country is gaining power year by year. UK wants its gas also because they dont want to depend only on Russian gas. In the Israeli eyes, UK is pro-Israel and saying out and loud that Israel has the right to protect it self, not like the other european countries.
14 countries voted against Israeli settlements when the UN conferenced. Which countries voted to condemn Israel for their settlements?
Let's be perfectly clear here. No country condemned Israel for there settlements, 14 countries chose to criticise Israel for its settlements as it is illegal under the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, which “prohibits any occupying power from transferring its own people to conquered territory” and abandonment of the two-state solution, as it has been the bedrock of peace negotiations for decades.Let’s be clear, nations are criticised by the UN regularly, from Australia’s detention of refugees to the Russian involvement in Ukraine. Bibi’s temper tantrum since the resolution has won him no friends, he considers countries votes criticising Israel to be “declarations of war”. And removed embassy staff. This resolution won't change anything, settlements will be built and probably have a trump hottin the middle, the US embassy will be moved to Jerusalem. And Palestinians will lose all hope of a homeland. And donald will ask in 3 years time: why are they so angry and upset?Life goes on, here is the country's requestedFor:AngolaChinaEgyptFranceJapanMalaysiaNew ZealandRussiaSenegalSpainUkraineUruguayVenezuelaUnited KingdomAbstainedUnited States
