I believe you meant to write "SEEKING WORK", not "SEEKING FREELANCER".

And indeed, most "nations" have their own homeland. That's exactly what happened in the 19th and 20th century - a new nationalism was taking hold in the world, and many nations created a national homeland - hence the creation

I think that's a valid question. The answer is - no, I wouldn't want Jews being a minority in Israel; I think Jews need at least one homeland where they are a majority, especially given how Jews have been treated throughout hist

I don't think I'm framing Haaretz based on the current administration. I'm a leftist - I identify far more with what Haaretz is doing than most other news orgs. I'm personally very angry that other orgs, even ones that a

No, you're wrong in multiple ways: 1. You call it "The Israeli PM who pushed for a two state solution" (referring to Rabin), but actually there were other PMs who were negotiating a two state solution with the Palestinians an

Just for the record, this is almost certainly wrong in the sense you mean it. Haaretz is a (far?) left, anti-current-government newspaper. It's not outside the mainstream or anything - it is considered largely credible, and its article

I'll provide context too - I'm a Jewish Israeli. I'd probably be considered left (or even far-left) by Israeli standards, but I'm in the "pro-Israeli" camp as conventionally understood online. This Haaretz arti

I just want to point out something important about that article - it's not just talking about children, it's specifically talking about pre-teen children. Hamas recruits many "children" in the sense of under-18s to fight

There are many protesting this government as we speak, as well.

I disagree that there are two driving ideologies here that are diametrically opposed. Hamas's ideology is certainly opposed to Israel existing, but they are not the only Palestinians, and other ideologies can take hold and be supported

I agree, that argument seemed fairly wrong to me. It's some people, but a minority, I'm fairly certain.

The Gazan government is a declared enemy of Israel, wanting its destruction. It has used hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to build its militant group to fight Israel. Given the circumstances, Gaza's neighbors blockade it to keep

(An Israeli and Egyptian blockade) Yes, I do think it had an effect, but less of one than their governing body did, hence my saying so. Either way, unless you think the blockade itself is "Israel treating Gazans as sub-human", the
