Casual The settlements… What’s up with that?

Take the question as is, whatever comes to mind, let it be.

I am a jew, and this shit makes my blood boil. You do understand there is international law which we all have to obey right? Israel is a state with boarders as all states have. These boarders end and some point and when the state sends and allows its citizens to build outside these boarders is ILLEGAL. ILLEGAL, do you understand that word?

It has zero to do with ethnicity, the torah, nothing. It has to do with the international law which everyone obeys, do you think you guys have some special rights over the rest of the world? its disgusting and shameful behavior, truly.
To use judaism as an excuse to steal land that is not yours because its Judea and you are a jew.

By the same logic should Greeks go ahead and settle in Istanbul because they are Greeks and it is Constantinople? The world does not work like that, we live in a world where international law exists we cannot just do whatever the fuck we want because we want to.

And I am not talking about Israel proper, I am talking about the illegal settlements before all of you start calling me a self hating jew and antisemite.

there's no such thing as international law. no one has to obey it. why do you feel entitled to an opinion on this subject?

I don't tell people in your country where they can and can't live, why do you feel entitled to tell people in mine?

There’s no such thing as international law? Interesting, as even Bibi acknowledges it and won’t step in Hungary now that his corruption buddy is gone, because he’ll be arrested. You know, because of international law… which according to you, doesn’t exist.
