Rabbi Shmuley Boteach seems to, the out spoken old pervert who writes kosher sex guides and whose daughter runs a multimillion dollar Kosher marital aid company.
He's been doing the rounds of the British media spewing Propaganda worthy of a Minister for enlightenment too

Preaching to the choir is pretty much what Trump does every day.

@Flyingsaucesir Yes he is a classic example.

What exactly has the Arab & Persian countries got to do with what is done to the Palestinians?

Israel wants WAY more than a small sliver of land. They want all of Gaza for more settlers. I have Jewish blood on my mothers side, so I feel I can speak frankly here.

Bibi has for decades kept this situation from a solution because he wants ALL of the land and to force Palestinians out completely. He was the one that brought Hamas into being, and paid them to keep control of the Palestinians. Israel created Hamas to use for their benefit.

The history of the region has always been filled with more lies than truth, unfortunately, on both sides. However, I take great issue with Israel, which has done everything to make matters worse, and a solution unattainable.

Here are a few quotes I found about Israeli intention.

"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas.”

– Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Milejkowski) at Likud party meeting (2019)

“In the visible dimension Hamas is an enemy, in the hidden dimension it is an ally.”

– IDF Major General Gershon Hacohen (2019)

“Israel started Hamas. It was a project of Shin Bet.”

– Charles Freeman, US diplomat and ambassador (2006)

“I helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement [Hamas]”

– Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, Israeli military governor in Gaza

“Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation.”

• Avner Cohen, a former Israeli religious affairs official

“The Palestinian Authority is a burden, and Hamas is an asset.”

• Bezalel Smotrich

@Redheadedgammy Apparently Netanyahu funded Hamas, yes. To what degree? I don't know. But I think it's fair to say Hamas is, at least in part, a creature of the Israeli government. However, as far as I can tell, the membership and leadership of Hamas is Palestinian. Isn't that right?

@Flyingsaucesir Yes, primarily Palestinians who are in league with Israel. Remember, Israel has kept them in power with money, and they worked together to control the Palestinian people. There appears to be no problem for some people to sell out their own people for money and control.

@Redheadedgammy Does accepting money from someone necessarily mean the recipient is "in league" with the donor? Might the two parties just be using one another? Isn't that more likely in this case?

@Flyingsaucesir What would you call "using one another"?

There are both positve and negative meanings of "in leage" of course. My understanding of "in leage" in this instance is that it means people are working secretly together.

Hamas and Israel/IDF are working secretly together to keep things as they are. No two state solution and Hamas can stay in power and keep getting money, and Israel gets what it wants, no Palestinian state.

@Redheadedgammy I think what you described fits the definition of "using one another." The fact of all-out war between the two parties does not, to my mind, indicate their being "in league."

@Flyingsaucesir We will have to agree to disagree on the definition of "in league". They may be at war with one another, but too many of the so called leaders of each side are in cahoots, in league with each other.
