You're still assuming their gender.

Not really, I looked at her posting history. Why do you think her well thought out post was aimed at you?

‘The Muslims’ hate ‘the Jews’?

At least Feedback won’t feel so alone!

Jon, when I originally answered this post I did so genuinely, but after re-reading it and in the light of other posts it occurred to me that you were implying/suggesting that I am Islamiphobic
I cam promise you that nothing could be further from the truth. In fact if you knew me you'd know that the mere idea is ridiculous.

I certainly did. I just saw an antisemitic term which is offensive to most Jewish people, from someone who was accusing other posters of 'Jew-bashing', although that has been the only antisemitic slur on this otherwise sensibly debated thread.

It will be interesting in a number of ways. He is the longest serving Israeli president and embodies modern Israel for a lot of Israelis. However, if he and Likud are ousted from power, I wouldn't expect to see any radical changes in the country.

Lapid's party Yesh Atid is more centrist than Likud but they will have to work in coalition with Naftali Bennett and some other right-wing pro-annexation nationalists with unlikely chances of bringing greater calm to the region. People have been too optimistic too many times.

Whoever is in charge with the current neighbours strategy to wipe then form the face of the earth they will remain defiant and in a few more years they will blow up those very same tunnels and buildings that threaten them and on we go and go and go .

That's a very ignorant view of the situation. It's far more complex than that and there are many Israeli citizens, as I've mentioned above, who do not see the conflict in such polarised terms.

Just a small point of order Mr Chairman. He is not the President, he's the Prime Minister

I'm sorry, yes, I do know that. Slip of the finger.

Re: Palestine Israel

On Sunday, Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, voted on a new government that ended the 12-year rule of Benjamin Netanyahu, the longest-serving prime minister in Israeli history, The Guardian reports. The new government will be sworn in on Sunday after the coalition won a confidence vote. Naftali Bennett, the leader of the right-wing Yamina Party, will assume the position of prime minister until August 2023, after which Yair Lapid, a centrist opposition leader, would take over until 2025. The New York Times reports. Netanyahu faces corruption charges, and Israel has held four elections since 2019, according to The Associated Press

Official then. Very small hope of progress after 2023 but very small as for reasons already stated.
