David Friedman
@DavidM_Friedman · Americká administrativa a vyslanci
David Friedman je bývalý velvyslanec USA v Izraeli, za jehož působení se americké velvyslanectví přestěhovalo do Jeruzaléma.
Dnes ráno jsem si vychutnal šálek kávy s Amisavem Meletem. To je ten člověk, kterého se obyvatelé Tur Massiya pokusili vykreslit jako teroristu, a přitom jen řídil bezpečnostní hlídku a nikoho neobtěžoval. Amisav je vegan, pacifista a zemědělec. Nechce nic jiného než obdělávat půdu, kterou Bůh přislíbil židovskému lidu. Říká, že necítí žádnou nenávist vůči Palestincům, přestože jeden Palestinec zavraždil jeho bratra teprve před šesti týdny. Nenávistníci Židů si budou muset najít jinou tvář kampaně „násilí osadníků“. Tato tvář fungovat nebude (stejně jako žádná jiná).
Přeloženo z jazyka angličtinaLoni zemřeli v důsledku „násilí osadníků“ celkem jen čtyři Palestinci a většinu, pokud ne všechny z těch, kteří zemřeli, zabili Židé v sebeobraně. Spojené království tedy uvaluje sankce na Izrael. Možná by nejprve mělo uvalit sankce samo na sebe za to, že nedokázalo ochránit své židovské občany před násilím islámských radikálů, než se začne vměšovat do místního prosazování práva svého zahraničního spojence.
Přeloženo z jazyka angličtinaIzrael vede válku — válku, kterou nechtěl, a válku, kterou nezačal. Válku vyhrává, ale vítězství má velmi daleko ke genocidě nebo, jak zní nejnovější pomluva, k etnickým čistkám. Všechny ty západní demokracie, které dávají okázale najevo svou morální nadřazenost a tvrdí, že by se bránily jinak, jsou jen pokrytci.
Přeloženo z jazyka angličtinaThe ultimate colonial power, the UK has been screwing up the Middle East for a Century. The White Paper of 1939, which condemned Jewish immigrants to Israel to death by the Nazis, was its low point. This boycott may not be there, but it’s still very wrong. https://t.co/cDq5SI9WMn
Flat out lie here from an obsessive compulsive Israel-hater.
Incredible how a few Palestinians who happen to be American citizens are wrapping themselves in the American flag in their attempt to vilify Jewish residents. Their efforts are entirely performative — their attempt at victimization crumbles under the weight of the hundreds of American Jews murdered by Palestinians.
To my dear friend Mike Huckabee, No one doubts where your heart is. Your support for Israel is unwavering and historic. There is violence in Judea and Samaria — there has been for many years. But Jews don’t wake up in the morning saying “I’m going to go kill a Palestinian today.” The opposite, of course, is not true — hundreds and hundreds of Jewish residents of J&S have been murdered by Palestinian terrorists. Most Palestinian residents of J&S cheered 9/11, 10/7, support Hamas and want to push the Jews out of all of Israel, not just J&S. So of course there is violence between Jews and Arabs in Judea and Samaria. But the two questions are 1) why does it exist, and 2) how is it being used by Israel’s enemies? It exists for the reasons described above — Jews need to defend themselves. Some acts of defense are debatable, some may be inappropriate. But they are acts of defense nonetheless against ruthless thugs that simply refuse to live in peace on any terms with their Jewish neighbors. The “settler violence” libel is being used, as you recognize, as part of a coordinated PR effort by the same people who falsely accuse Israel of genocide. The Palestinian-Americans who had no difficulty building beautiful houses in the area are now draping American flags on their houses so that attacks against them — which they instigate — can be filmed as attacks against America. It’s all a cynical campaign and its roots go back more than a century. Of course I agree that settler violence hurts Israel’s “standing” in the world, but it hurts less than giving Palestinian terrorists free rein to kill more Jews. Unfortunately, labeling the Jews who fight back as “terrorists” is a win for the anti-Israel PR machine who then create a moral equivalency between both sides. Your correct observation that the Jews committing acts of violence are a tiny fraction of the total Jewish population is a distinction entirely lost on the media, who have a false narrative to uphold.
I’m sorry, I must have missed the part where Hamas gives up its weapons and surrenders control of Gaza. When did that happen? Oh right, never!
Bernie wants to impose conditions on Israel that no other nation would be expected to accept. He singles out for punishment the one and only Jewish state. Of course he’s a Jew-hater. That he claims to be Jewish is irrelevant.
No surprise here — @TuckerCarlson gushing over @AbdulElSayed , the guy who jumped the gun and accused Israel of genocide even before it responded to the atrocities of 10/7. Tucker is fully anti-Trump, anti-Republican and anti-American.
Here’s all you need to know about @AbdulElSayed : Before Israel even responded to the barbaric atrocities of 10/7/23, he already was accusing Israel of genocide. The false PR campaign was in place and funded in advance and this guy was in the lead.
So disappointing that second rate Jewish “entertainers” will turn on Israel to promote their careers. More than 180 Jewish entertainers rally behind actor Mark Ruffalo in protest letter - Fox News https://t.co/k2e34jwAs7
You can say this big lie one thousand times but the numbers don’t lie. The Arab population in Israeli-controlled territories, including Gaza, has risen ten-fold since Israel’s independence. (And the large Jewish populations in Arab countries have been reduced to zero during the same period).
Such an important point. A Palestinian state would leave Israel with indefensible borders. Reagan recognized this in 1982 and the geography hasn’t changed. And the risks have only grown. Everyone knows this but the world insists that Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) remain frozen in time to facilitate a diplomatic outcome that will never come. The vacuum creates chaos and the victims are those who live there — Arab and Jew alike. It’s time for the world to abandon this pipe dream and move forward with One Jewish State.
For those keeping score, here’s where we are today: Israel-haters have squeezed just about all the juice they can from the fake Gaza narrative. Gaza is no longer a daily news item and all the allegations about famine and genocide have been disproven quantifiably. So they have pivoted to the latest blood libel - “settler violence.” Palestinians provoke Israelis living in Judea and Samaria and then start the cameras rolling when they respond. Because the context-free videos look disturbing, even Israeli officials are forced to condemn it. The Democratic Party is almost giddy with this new Jew-hating issue, because it doesn’t necessarily implicate the October 7 atrocities committed by Palestinians against Israelis. It just looks and feels like pure Jewish aggression, even though it is not. Stay tuned for more of this on the run up to the midterms. As I have said many times, a responsible sovereign over Judea and Samaria (Israel) will mitigate these conditions.
Important to understand the mindset of those living on the frontiers of Judea and Samaria. They understand, personally and first hand, the commitment of Palestinians to destroy the Jewish State, and they are legitimately frustrated by international efforts to ignore that reality and create a second Palestinian state (after Jordan) that will leave Israel with indefensible borders. Equally important to know that while most Israelis do not speak with this stridency, there is broad agreement within Israel that another Palestinian state between Israel and Jordan will jeopardize Israel’s very existence.
Do you folks care about Palestinian terror attacks against Jews in Judea and Samaria, rock throwing against moving windshields, poisoning livestock, stabbing etc? I guess not. In life, there are causes and there are effects (we could also call them actions and reactions). In which category do you suppose “settler violence” falls?
Here’s the other side of the “settler violence” headlines from yesterday. The Jews seem to have been attacked on Shabbat so the Palestinians could get ahead of the media. When the Jews push back the cameras start to roll. If you think this was not encouraged, and even caused, by the 45 Democratic senators publicly condemning “settler violence,” you don’t understand the Middle East. Again, political vacuums generally are not filled well. Time for One Jewish State.
45 Democratic US Senators just sent a letter to the Prime Minister of Israel demanding an end to “settler violence.” In particular, many claimed they were outraged by the “siege” of Qusra. None of these senators were on the ground. None are eyewitnesses to the facts. Are they right? The answer is no. Qusra is not under siege, and Palestinian attacks against Israelis living in Judea and Samaria far outweigh Israeli attacks against Palestinians (which almost always are in retaliation) both in number and in scope. But left wing media predominates, as does the carefully orchestrated PR campaign around places like Qusra. The “house” allegedly under siege, is brand new and generally unoccupied. But whenever a media opportunity presents, Palestinian activists, including the American Palestinian who built the house, appear to tell a highly sympathetic but generally false narrative. But Israel is not blameless. For 59 years it has failed to define its Eastern Border, paying lip service to the eternal rights of the Jewish people to their Biblical homeland, but instead creating a vacuum that delivers too much chaos. The Land of Israel is too important for strategic sections to be sublet to 17 year old kids. Watch @samschub ‘s reporting and decide for yourself what’s true and what’s not. Personally, I vote for One Jewish State with fixed borders and an upgrade in the standard of living for Jews and Palestinians alike.
It’s not a pro-Israel “bias.” It’s a pro-Israel position born of the recognition that Israel’s side is meritorious.
UNRWA is a terror organization. Why do you support it?
The fact that you make everything about Israel just demonstrates how bankrupt you are in having positive policies to help Americans.
You and your disgusting nephew are 24/7 anti-Israel false propaganda machines. And you have the balls to complain about other platforms?!?!
The IDF does not accept private donations imbecile.
If we are going to use misguided public statements by secondary politicians as the litmus test, how about the literally hundreds of Muslim clerics who speak of wiping Jews and Christians off the map and replacing the West with Sharia Law? If that’s the test, there is no genocide that comes close to Muslim sponsored genocide. Watch the actions not the words, and count the numbers not the narratives. There is no genocide by Israel against Palestinians.
