The more I learn about October 7th, the more I understand why Israel is so determined to eliminate Hamas. My heart breaks for all those slaughtered and kidnapped by them.

Mr. Dershowitz I take umbrage with the fact that you fail to question the actions of Biden, Blinken, Giggles & Schumer. What they are doing via words & actions is detrimental to Israel & give carte blanche to the JewHaters & Israel Haters to continue their hateful rhetoric. It also encourages Hamas. Words & actions have consequences. Biden's failure to veto the U.N.resolution is straight out of the Obuma play book! This long term democrat feels that the democratic party has left me. No one with any honor or sense of decency can continue to support Biden's dysfunctional administration. I hope that No Labels offers a viable alternative.

Alan, Israel doesn't need "permission" from anybody to protect is people. Israel is a sovereign nation and became a nation so that Jews don't have to rely on the non-existent "good will" of the world for their safety.

Was the IDF working with Hamas on the Israel attack? Another rumor because Israel’s response took so long.

Israeli Jews have mutated the concept and practice of a sanctuary for Jews. Israeli Jews are now the world's foremost racists and genociders. Genocide is illegal, but they do not care. They simply deny objective reality, and continue talking in Hebrew among themselves about physically eliminating the Arab "demographic threat" by one way or another, forcing non-Jews, live or dead out of land Israel wants. Even worse, the Israeli Government owns the the American Congress and Executive Branch. Elected officials have learned to dance to the AIPAC tune and jump when they are told. Washington DC is under occupation.

This comment from Laura seems to be the standard intellectual defense of Israeli racism and genocide.. Hard to debate these people from Dershowitz down to Laura since they really show they do not know what is going on. Their POV seems to be "How dare you take an opposite standpoint from mine". Both Dershowitz and Lauras grew up in a democracy but they do not seem to have been influenced by its democratic principles. For them there is no loyalty higher than that to Israel. To paraphrase Stephen Decatur " My loyalty is to Israel Right or Wrong.". Yet since Israel always seems to be wrong these days, Dershowitz/Laura have a problem defending theJewish State based on facts. So they smear. This is what Substack gets for giving Dershowitz a platform to deliver plitical propaganda. His expertise is limigted to constitutional law. Maybe also to Jeffrey Epstein's activities. and Dershowitz's crusade to lower the Age of Sexual Consent. Why does he get to use his Substack Platform to present unbalanced Israeli propaganda, minimize Israeli atrocities and whitewash its genocide?

I’m sorry, you are disgusting me with your anti-semitism. And I am not a Jew but love the Jewish people. It is heartbreaking to hear what Alan just shared.

Israel needs to win this war and receive its refugees back, and America’s. Hamas cannot be allowed to exist, & neither can Iran.

The reputation of Judaism in israel is that it exempts its nominal adherents from all human morality, forbids empathy with people born in other ethnic groups, and deems its adherents to be Nietsche supercreatures, beyond classification of good and evil . This is not polemic. This is what Israeli Jews as a group display every single newsday by their actions. At one time Jewish prophets were among the lawgivers and framers of human morality. Ten Commandments, the Hebrew Bible. Now Israeli Jews are the Darth Vaders of bloodletting so long as they receive their American superweapons on time. Claiming to be a democratic nation, Israeli Jews, mostly of Ashkenazi Khazar Turkish origin, restrict their democracy to members of their own ethnic group. Falashas, Lubavitchers, Sephardics and Hasidics constantly complain of institutional and personal discrimination from the Ashkenazi ruling class. But this discrimination is nothing comparend to what non-Jews experience in Israel or under permanent occupation. Israel itself has become infested by a malignant cancer, mutating the Israeli state far away from the ideals of Zionism as originally presented to the world. Hertzl fictionalized Zionism as being a kind of political Woodstock where the lions and Jews would live peacefully and respectfullly with the lambs and natives and everyone would have equal rights. Apparently either the world was hoodwinked by Hertzl or Israeli leaders unconsciously followed the example of National Socialism and created the current apartheid/genocidal state with the Ashkenazis on top intent on preventing non-Jews from experiencing democracy...or even life itself unless the non-Jews accepted utter subjugation. .

I’ll begin here: the Ten Commandments were given directly by God to the Israelis. The 600+ remaining laws were given directly from God too. Having read thousands of years of Jewish and Israeli history, I prefer not to hear what you have to say. Much of it is made up.

So...just close yoiur eyes and ears to objective reality. Abort crtical thinking which those High -School teachers tried to teach you. Squelch feelings of scepticism to Israeli propaganda.. After all, you know better:. Israel is a place of equal rights for Everyone and where warfare is conducted only on armed enemies not the defenseless. Israel would never consider herding women and children into a comcentration camp and then starving them to death. And anyway, the American Democratic Party is on the side of Israel always, right? So how can israel ever do anything bad, how can allegatiions of bullyboy mass murdering Israelis be true? Live a good well-ordered life by regualating what you hear and see about Israel. But just out of self-preservation, better keep some access to those repressed feelings of scepticism in case a guy tries to sell you a bridge in Crown Heights.
