Nationalism was not much of a factor in Central Europe before the revolutions of 1848 weakened the grip of the nobility on power.

Thereafter, nationalism based on ethnic identity became an ever stronger political force, ultimately resulting in the dismemberment of Austro-Hungary into ethnic nationalist states (abetted by Woodrow Wilson).

Could Bibi and his gang ever be satisfied with dominating a small country and not be tempted to expand its soft borders--using force if necessary--to gain more power?

and his policies. It is not an attack on Judaism. There are Jews within Israel and outside of Israel who are critical of Netanyahu and his policies.

I was simply commenting on the regular spin by people of the ADL persuasion who label criticism of ANYTHING remotely Israeli as an attack on some form of Judaism.

I am fully aware that the politicians in the Knessed do no act or think unitarilly - nor do the governed.

If you think that supporting the basic human rights of the Palestinian minority is Anti-Semitic.

And just to throw something else into the mix, sometime back there was a run of vandalism on Jewish Cemeteries. One response was a wave of social media support from members of Muslim communities. A few were military people offering to stand guard.

With everything going on in this country regarding such intense division, I am bringing up these examples of the America--and the World--that I want to live in. Maybe it isn't actually "who we are" but it is who I hope we can be. There is obviously so much work still to be done, and the Orange A-Hole may have set us back, but I still need to believe.

“Benjamin Netanyahu is a fascist bloody thirsty dirt bag” is not an anti-Semitic statement. He is a canny politician with good survival skills who manipulates the untenable situation in Israel, somehow wins and got right in bed with Trump. Same moral level only a lot smarter.

Also Hamas is a terrorist organization,

I am very curious however, why YOU brought up B'nai Brith. Please elaborate.

The 'former' Anti Defamation League of B"nai Brith were/still are expert at spinning anything they can claim is critical of Israel into a claimed slur against Jewry. It is usually very difficult to figure out which of the two or more mouths is doing the speaking.

I suspect you were aware of this but preferred to pretend some ulterior motive was present.

So they launch 1000s of missiles into the heart of cities hoping to kill as many civilians as possible.

And Israel should smile and say thank you.

whether it is Hamas or BLM. To say that to get rid of a oligarchic apartheid leader you have to get rid of those among the oppressed who are fighting back is to blame the victim and legitimize oppressive rule.

BLM supports the Palestinians - they issued a statement to that effect. They recognize the parallels.

How many Israeli civilians has Hamas actually killed?

How many Palestinian civilians has Israel actually killed?

Also, does Hamas in fact use missiles, with guidance systems? I confess that I didn't know this; I thought that they chiefly used unguided rockets, while Israel uses the absolute top-level elite military ordnance on the planet.

The provocations that led to this latest round of violence (police patrols at al Aqsa during Ramadan?!) are his desperate attempt to take attention and momentum away from the coalition that was being formed to replace him. A diabolically cynical move on his part, one which is apparently working.

It’s hard to have a both sides viewpoint when Israel is vastly superior in weaponry and created the current conditions by occupying Palestinian territory and treating them like second class people.
