So outside of Israel and the US there are very few Jewish people in the world.

Contrast that with the Muslims are the majority in 49 countries, and who make up 24.1% of the world's population, with an estimated total of approximately 1.9 billion.

In reality it's the Jews that are the underdogs, and the Muslims are not even prepared to let the Jews have a tiny piece of land, which is about the size of the state of New Jersey.

The Centre of the Islamic faith and the Holiest Islamic city is also not in Israel it's at Mecca the capital of Mecca Province in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia.

The fact that the Muslims can't stand the Jews having a piece of land the size of New Jersey and the fact that they constantly chant about them being eradicated and removed from the river to the sea speaks volumes as to who the real bullies are.
That is a factual statement. These protestors don’t care about facts. They see Jews as oppressors of Palestinians. They don’t know the history of the region, other than what their muslim students and professors as well as their ultra leftist infidel professors have told them.

Israeli military stands before the enemy to protect Israeli citizens, Hamas hides behind its people to use as human shields to protect themselves and to increase the body count for the sympathetic press to cover in a propaganda war.

The funding should have been made available 6 months ago, they are short on ammunition. What did they gain by waiting until April, this is not a game lives are at stake.

You are exactly right, and in terms of the reality of the situation it's very different to what is often presented by certain groups and individuals on the left.

I totally agree and the very liberal response by authorities in certain US states has allowed protesters to do as they please without any threat of real accountability or legal consequences.

As a result you have ever increasing civil disorder and a complete disregard and contempt for law and order.

No one with a brain believes that war can be waged without civilian casualties. Hamas started this, and Israel will end it. All the hand-wringing by the anti-semites towards Israel bemoaning the loss of "innocent Palestinians" is just them showing their true hatred of Jews, no matter how much they squeal otherwise. How do we know this? The people worked up about civilian casualties in the Gaza war couldn't care less about civilian casualties in the Ukrainian war or a hundred other war zones. They never complain about those civilian deaths, they just want to complain about deaths they can pin on Jews.

I’ve often said that parents or grandparents of high school or college students should take the time to get the student to put down the phone/tablet and ask them US history and government questions they feel these students should know by now. For example, what decade did WW1 happen? What decade did WW2 happen? Who were our enemies and main Allie’s in WW2? What decade did the Korean War happen? What decade did the Vietnam war start? Who fought in the Revolutionary War and what time did it take place (century decade)? Who fought in the Civil a war and what time period (century decade) did it take place? Name the three branches of government. Name the two houses of Congress. Why does the two houses of congress have different number of elected members? Were they ever taught about the US Bill of Rights and did they ever read those rights? It’s sometimes scary what they don’t know even after graduating with honors.
