Holy crap, I can't even begin imagining the grief and anger that they must have felt.


Didn't stop them from executing the Nakba against the inhabitants of Palestine already in 1948[0].

On top of that, the irony of poisoning the water supply is thick, since Jews had been accused of poisoning wells for hundreds of years at that point[1].

-Not the same people

-They didn't care at that point


> Not the same people

(Not) funny fact: statements "not the same people" and "the same people" are considered both true at the same time.

What are these, alternative facts? Pray tell us who lived in Palestine before the British seized control and declared their intention to establish a Jewish homeland. Europeans persecuted Jews for centuries and finally decided to deal with the Jewish question by displacing Arabs.

The overwhelming majority of Palestinian Arabs were displaced before the Israeli Declaration of Independence. The Nakba was not a reaction to the invasion.

I will refrain from eating fish next time I'm in France.


That panic was unfortunate…


Soon to be a major motion picture ?


There is this relatively recent German movie called Plan A from 2021[0].

You clearly only read the title


Can you explain what you are referring to? What has contrasting the military capabilities of Germany and Israel have to do with the subject of the article?


What I meant was this. What was described was an unofficial, non-state, conspiracy by Jewish partisans to right a wrong or take revenge, in their eyes. It was apparently somewhere between a flop and a fantasy.

Meanwhile, the Jewish STATE took action, resulting in a two-decade development program, where, IRONICALLY, they became more powerful militarily than the German state.

IRONICALLY. NOTHING was meant to be construed as hostility or potential retribution by Israel against Germany.

I had thought people would have come to these conclusions automatically, but now I realize I have to be more explicit in explaining these comments.
