Excellent article.

No discussion on Israel murdering unarmed protesters and journalists this week? Cool.

Oh, great! You're back! Can't wait for you to start spewing blood libels and demented murder fantasies again!

Can't wait for Ray to call the sun, moon and stars antisemitic for existing.

Statistics about birth rates in Israel are always iffy because they are so politically charged, but I found this article to be quite informative. It's definitely not just Arabs and Haredim (whose birthrate has actually declined over the previous decades, rapidly in the first case).

tl;dr Arab stats of course lie but Israeli stats of course don't; the government funds endless fertility treatment and unlike in silly Europe, Israel can take land from other countries if they run out.

It is indeed clear that you "dr" it if you think this is what the article said; either that, or your reading comprehension skills are incredibly poor. It is especially amazing how you claim I (or the article) says that "Israeli stats of course don't [lie]" when I point out in my own post that "statistics about birth rates in Israel are always iffy." Obviously the last part of your post is a blatant lie too, but don't let facts get in the way of your antisemitism I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You're such a joke

So David, how would you feel if certain towns in the Netherlands prohibited you from living there because despite being a Dutch citizen, you weren't actually Dutch?

He thinks his Judaism makes him special, he'd cry bigotry in Holland while supporting the exact same thing in Israel. This is why I wonder if he's actually a Jew, or some kind of troll job intentionally using every negative Jewish stereotype to prove some kind of point. The hypocrisy is mind boggling.

I mean, I had this thought a while ago- me and my current boyfriend will give, together, 12 years of service to the country. 12 years. And yet, the elected government believes we're inferior and unfit to be parents. Well, **** them. I don't really feel like defending them anymore.

This seems to be an unrelated issue, though. On which I completely agree with you: high time for Israel to give gay couples equal rights.

You have long defended elements like united torah and shas and ultra-nationalists. they will never allow equality to occur. ever. they are fanatics.

Likud needs to grow a spine and start supporting the Diaspora again. This jewish state bill being hijacked by the haredis is disgraceful.

I get you support nationalism but you can't ignore democracy or the diaspora. when hasbara activists like me are fuming over the state of things thats when people need to stop and ask what the hell is going on.

What? I've defended quite a lot of things and parties -- but I've never defended Shas and UTJ. Corrupt idiots.

And yeah, the diaspora absolutely needs to be ignored. They are the ones who need to change, not Israel. Most of the diaspora does not deserve to be heard when it comes to policymaking in Israel.

And most Israelis don't deserve to be heard when it comes to policymaking here, so why are they?
