Troops fired warning shots, and direct fire in some cases, at the suspects who approached the area. There are several Lebanese people dead and wounded in the incidents. Four Hezbollah operatives were also detained today.

    Against my better judgement, I’ll take a crack at this.

    American racism, as displayed in the Family Guy meme, is based on skin color. In Israel/Palestine, racism is not based on skin color. Jews aren’t all light skinned, and Arabs aren’t all dark skinned.

        Wait until you find out how Bedouins in the Negev treat Bedouins with African ancestors.

      Yep - a lot of westerners fail to understand that a majority of Israelis have middle-eastern or north-African ancestry, even if excluding the large arab Israeli demographic. Depicting the people of Israel as a monolith is a very crude oversimplification

          That is simply incorrect. I suggest that you educate yourself further on the topic and refrain from making similarly uninformed statements on related topics in the future.

          Here is the wikipedia page of all current members of knesset:

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_members_of_the_twenty-fifth_Knesset

          Going from the top of the list of current knesset members, we have Likud party members (the current ruling party).

          No. 4 on the list is Amir Ohana, current speaker of the Knesset. He is the child of two moroccan jews, and also happens to be gay.

          No. 7 Shlomo Karhi, minister of Communications, Tunisian heritage.

          No. 8 David Bitan - born in Morocco.

          Q.E.D, feel free to find more examples on your own, there are plenty.

            Knesset has 0 power in this state. This state is a settler colonial authoritarian terrorist state that has zero democracy. The terrorist state of Israel has none of the pillars of democracy.
