“Now, should you come at me or my family and community with intent to harm, we will have a problem between us, and I will not hesitate to defend us by any means necessary. Are we clear?”
================================

I am glad that you, “nefesh” the “‘ifish,” wrote the statement above. Perhaps, per chance, by reflecting on your own words you can understand, unless you’re blind, dumb and deaf, why the Palestinians have all the right to fight Israel by all means possible, since terrorist Israel came to the Palestinian land with intend to kill, terrorize dispossess and steal the land that belonged to the Palestinians. This was the intend and this has been the case of your little terrorist Israel for over sixty years now!

Are they deporting them in cattle trucks?

In your blind hatred for the truths about your evil, terrorist, apartheid, colonial,
illegitimate entity called Israel, you focus your hatred on an informed and
sincere messenger like Hedges who is even not mentioned in this piece you’re
commenting on, let alone being its author.

Well, I never thought I’d say this, but you actually are correct about one thing: I
segued from the Hedges article to this Al Guardian article and attributed the
smear job to Hedges. He gets a pass on this one, but not Al Guardian.
=======================

I can tell that you you have concurring nightmares called “Chris
Hedges.” Now, you will have another nightmare called “Arabian Sinbad” who
happened to be a surviving victim of the Israeli terrorism.

Yes, any CONCURRING with Hedges would be a nightmare, but I am thankful I
never have. Don’t hold your breath on that one. 

Congrats on your survival, Sinbad. I hope you do something constructive with
your life, and no, working to destroy Israel is not a constructive endeavour, by
definition and by any moral or ethical code.  Rest assured I am not worried
about nor afraid of you, and you do not disturb my sleep in any way. Now,
should you come at me or my family and community with intent to harm, we
will have a problem between us, and I will not hesitate to defend us by any
means necessary. Are we clear?

“Hedges is no longer a journalist. He is now making a living as a bigoted advocate for the destruction (read: genocide) of the Jewish national homeland.”

Your headline suggests that there are to be 400 children who will be deported
but they are to be deported ALONG WITH THEIR PARENTS not by themselves as
your headline implies, so the reader would conclude (without all the facts) that
Israel is tossing out orphaned children.

Try to keep the facts straight and be neutral in keeping with a journalist’s
integrity otherwise you could be accused of inciting hatred just to get someone
to read your article.

Hedges is no longer a journalist. He is now making a living as a bigoted
advocate for the destruction (read: genocide) of the Jewish national homeland.
Expecting truth in one of his screeds is a waste of time. The outrage expressed
about this issue is motivated by the same hypocritical protests about anything
Israel does to defend her citizens - the attempt to de-legitimize Israel’s
sovereignty by denying her the right according any other independent nation.
Hedges and his Jew-baiting chorus on these pages will lie until they get what
they want. Too bad for them it’s not going to happen the way they think. Unless
they are prepared to slaughter the 6.5 million Jews of Israel, they will never
“win”. If only Hedges had the balls to come out and say what he wants
explicitly. No matter; anyone with half a brain can see through the code and
euphemisms.

Another interesting parallel between the cruelty and the inhumane treatment of immigrant families in both Israel and the USA!

In the US they deport the illegal parents of an American-born child, thus breaking up families, creating agonies for both children and parents, and dashing off hopes after they have been given.

In Israel, if we were to believe bpawk, they deport the children along with the immigrant workers after they have sucked out the blood of the working parents, or they deport the children while continue to suck up the blood of their needy parents before discarding them like pieces of trash, if we were to believe the contents of this piece. And the end result in this case is again breaking up families and creating agony and unnecessary stress to both parents and children.

In my humanistic and socialistic way of thinking, both these practices are cruel and uncivilized, and they reflect a crude colonial mentality that treats certain groups of human beings as exploitable when they are needed and easily discarded after exploiting their sweat and blood.

When you stolen a whole country, what’s the big deal with kicking out a few poor kids?

According to the United States Conference of Mayors,  the main cause of homelessness in the U.S. is the lack of affordable housing.

The three next primary causes are:

  * mental illness or the lack of needed services,
  * substance abuse and lack of needed services.
  * low-paying jobs <—————-!

Oy, what’s a poor Jewish state to do? Surely there must be Jewish welfare
recipients and prisoners who could do the work these immigrants are doing.
And what happened to the early Zionist glorification of manual labor?

What your inflammatory article fails to point out is that many foreign workers stay long after their visas have expired thus residing illegally in Israel and therefore breaking the law (not to mention taxing the health/education system) of the host country. Legal citizens are required to obey the law, why shouldn’t they?

Your headline suggests that there are to be 400 children who will be deported but they are to be deported ALONG WITH THEIR PARENTS not by themselves as your headline implies, so the reader would conclude (without all the facts) that Israel is tossing out orphaned children.

If “ensuring the Jewish character of the state of Israel” is apartheid then the world should boycott Israel as it did South Africa.

So what will Israel do with this one—the “only democratic state in the Middle East”??

Fear feeds on the human soul—here, there and everywhere.
