Zionism is independent of being religious or secular.
Zionism is independent of being religious or secular.
Together they contain more than 80% of Jews.
Recent Jewish population dynamics are characterized by continued steady increase in Israeli Jewry and flat or declining numbers in other countries (the diaspora)
Also antisemtic
The highest result for the NSDAP in elections was 43%.
Comparing Jews to Nazis is Antisemitic.
Let’s embrace Palestinian ultranationalist Islamist blood and soil ideology and demand ethnic cleansing of the Jews back to Europe instead.
This survey shows a majority of American Jews are Zionists. The percentage of Zionists is much higher among Jews living in Israel. That gives you a solid majority for Zionism among Jews.

Show me a post where I expressed joy over suffering.
I don’t enjoy anybody‘s suffering or want anyone to suffer.
Why do you do that to yourself? It’s unhealthy.
Blockchain Socialist? What a clown.
What incident are you referring to?
Do you have any evidence?
I don’t think Lebanese police is a combatant in the current war. If police participated in combat operations, they would be combatants.
There are independent investigations from the 2006 Lebanon war documenting similar cases. You can also find this for previous wars in Gaza and the West Bank.
Treating wounded is never a war crime.
If a combatant is hors de combat, no longer able to fight, then they are no longer a valid military objective.
If the IDF shuttles soldiers ready to fight to the front using an ambulance, it’s a war crime. Shuttling injured soldiers from the front to the back is not a war crime.
Hezbollah and also Palestinian militant groups have been observed to use ambulances to do the former.
Specific ambulances are only attacked if there’s intelligence like surveillance that says it’s being used to transport combatants or weapons. If all ambulances were systematically targeted, all ambulances would camouflage as civilian vehicles.
You are correct that persons hors de combat are protected.
Evidence in war zones is always difficult, especially when combatants don’t wear uniforms. You can easily make a combatant look like a civilian, by removing the weapons from the scene. Making civilians look like combatants just takes putting a weapon next to their body. Independent neutral investigators will rarely arrive at a scene before one of the belligerent forces.
I looked up the event you’re probably referring to. It was in area A, so even if it was a police unit, these should be considered combatants and international conflict. Operating in area A is a breach of the Oslo accords for Israeli forces.
The squad executing the targeted killing of one militant in the hospital were clothed in different civilian clothes (men, women) as you can see in the video. Only a minority of them wore medical uniforms.
The article doesn’t say, but I remember reading somewhere that it was a border police operation. The IDF and Israeli police forces have special units that specialize in undercover work and blending in with the Palestinian Arab population.
One could argue that covert infiltration and targeted killing avoided civilian casualties that would have occurred using a uniformed frontal assault.
Under IHL these Israeli operatives would be classified as spies and not get protections reserved to prisoners of war.
During the 2006 war there were documented cases of Hezbollah abusing ambulances for military transport.
Emotionally attached means they want it to continue existing. That’s Zionism.
