Here's the Snopes analysis of the specific story

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pa...ome-israelies/

There is also a clip of the couple .. you can find a translation online.

The only thing not verified is where the Israeli/US couple, who now occupy the house, are from

when the article says

"how do you feel living in a house built on the wreckage of his house?"

this would indicate the Jewish couple are not living in the house of the Palestinians, but in a newly built house that is on the same site as the Palestinians' former house. Do we know why the Palestinian's house was demolished? The article does not say, and we both know its not a good idea to speculate in matters such as this.

I like your posts. And you, like me, are one of the oldest serving members of this board.

But I think you are in denial as to the Israeli policy of settlements which is done at the expense of Palestinians.

"the arabs have invaded israel twice in the past 60 years, and twice have had their arses handed to them on a plate. At some point they will learn not to **** with the IDF"

It's possible that they were having a bad moment but several posts now from them have been about "being aware of our own bias" or "think critically about 'evidence'" we see online, which is all very noble, but a significant change in tone. They've also spent 9 messages questioning evidence of encroachment into Palestinian land only to post that it's common knowledge in their 10th post on the subject.

Again a very noble change in direction, but what should we really be focusing on instead?

The Web Editor of Jewish News posted this yesterday: https://twitter.com/Mendelpol/status...98089231626243

Israel and Hamas have a ceasefire. The next morning, Israel reportedly storms Al Aqsa, which was the trigger for the last 11 days of brutal violence.

I honestly despair

....

I can't help but think more violence would be beneficial for Benjamin Netanyahu's bid to cling on to power - and it would probably be beneficial for Hamas too - who if they ever did have to face a PA election, have multiple wars where they have not been defeated

Ultimately, whatever the governments in Israel and Palestine think they can get out of this - there are lots of dead people who probably disagree it was worth it. Including dead children, who did nothing to deserve their fate. Time for some moral leadership..

....

I tell you what's exhausting..

The predictable knee-jerk response to this, every single time.

Who cares who started this? Israel routinely now goes onto Temple Mt enflaming tension. Worshipers routinely provoke, and are incited.

Nobody wins, regardless of 'who started it'

'Who started it'? The same people who benefit from it. Extremists.

Aa terror organisation running Gaza telling people to engage in a 'day of rage', and a maniacal PM in Israel, facing corruption charges, who wants to prolong conflict for political gain

The eyes of the world are turning to something else but they really shouldn't be. If Hamas claim the only time the plight of Palestine is paid attention to is with rockets and Israeli government say they're under threat of violence can we say either is lying? But the Israeli government responds to that threat in an oppressive and hardline way in moments of ceasefire, and progress can only be made when attention is paid in times of relative peace.
