One of the more tone-deaf talking points of Israel and its supporters is to accuse neighboring Arab states of being cruel to the Palestinians because they refuse to accept them as refugees. Setting aside the fact that countries like Egypt and Jordan already have millions of Palestinian exiles from previous wars, Israel is tacitly admitting that they are trying to impose ethnic cleansing against Palestinians. Like Germany before World War II, which demanded that other countries accept Jews, Israel wants to turn Arab states into collaborators.

Add Lebanon to “Egypt and Jordan already have millions of Palestinian exiles from previous wars.”
Tone-deafness is an essential quality of fundamentalist religiosity … in this instance “sincerely”
held by (?, %) of the European settlers of Jewish ancestry (albeit from 2 millennia, thus about 100
generations) given “official,” mass access to Palestine 75 year ago. The perpetrators of the current
phase of Palestinian cleansing/genocide wouldn’t know Yahweh from the back of their ample,
collective ass BUT said perps do know how to manipulate fundamentalists … and supremely well.
Note re fundamentalist manipulation (and tone-deafness) on the other side of the Atlantic:
the US government assistance of Israel, in major part, is “mandated” by pressure from its own
Christian Zionists (CZs) who, by definition, actively & vehemently renounce any such Yahweh,
Judaism and Jews. The CZs “support” is based in it own religious delusion that foresees destruction
of the Jews at the “end times,” … presumably to be hastened by the presence of several US navy
aircraft carrier groups in the eastern Mediterranean, Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.
Recent quote: “Israel’s (total) dependence on the United States was stated bluntly by retired IDF
Maj. General Yitzhak Brick in an interview earlier this week. All of our missiles, the ammunition,
the precision-guided bombs, all the airplanes and bombs, it’s all from the U.S. The minute they
turn off the tap, you can’t keep fighting. You have no capability. … Everyone understands that
we can’t fight this war without the United States. Period’.” Link: tinyurl.com/bdh5rshn
