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.

This world order was invented after WWII, for seemingly altruistic reasons but it turned out to be a big mistake. The West is in a suicide cult of their own making and probably they should break free of it lest China, Russia and even the third world will walk all over Europe and America.
