Israel has approved the largest land grab in decades, about 4.9 sq. miles of the Jordan valley. Obviously their govt isn't bothered by either a conscience or the opinion of other countries.

Seems even a number of jews don't support their zionist government.
I don't think he's going to stop unfortunately.

They have lots of ultra orthodox Jews & most tend to be very right wing so it seems unlikely that he'll stop, despite the protests from those opposed to their govt.

It is about Zionism, which is an ideology far more radical than many are aware of. Opposition to it is often mistaken for and mislabeled as anti Semitism, which it is most definitely not.

I don't know much about Zionism, apart from them believing that they're entitled to Israel as their ancestral home country but even I can manage to understand that disliking/disagreeing with Zionism isn't at all the same as anti semitism.
And I do have to wonder whether claiming anti semitism isn't a convenient claim to make, just now.

We really aren't a very nice species sometimes.
As well as being nuts - I remain unconvinced that Earth isn't actually the insane asylum for the universe.
