You seem to be unaware that at least 1 out of 2 Israelis is 100% middle eastern. And they have zero connectionsti Europe.

Meanwhile, Turkey acts like Turkey.

After Sunday's match Sagiv Jehezkel was briefly detained in the southern city of Antalya and accused of incitement.
It is unclear whether he faces prosecution if he returns to Turkey. His club, Antalyaspor, has sacked him.
Jehezkel's arrest prompted a bitter war of words between the Israeli and Turkish governments.
The 28-year-old player, who signed for Antalyaspor in September, was celebrating an equaliser in a Turkish Super Lig match when he held up his bandaged hand that read "100 days. 7/10".
More Turkey being Turkey:

It’s election time and all votes are needed, even antisemites count at the ballot box. Trade with Israel is unlike the Kuwaiti owned Starbucks not boycotted in Turkey. (Starbucks isn’t really either, but not drinking what they call coffee there is still a good idea).
ICJ orders broadly favoring SA's case. Order to punish incitement is the lowest hanging fruit, and a concrete test for both Israel and its western allies. Hope to see journos pressing ministers in EU member states for clear comments and info on planned responses to the ruling. Sadly, European journos tend to be as lazy and pathetic as the govts they cover :o

A counter-insurgency expert stating the obvious: that Israel's strategy this war never had any chance of success: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/israe...ency-trap-gaza
Not sure that's actually what he said.
Right, the whole "these conflicts last for a decade, the terrorists are impossible to eliminate, there was no serious plan for what happens after the invasion" definitely don't mean this had no chance of success.
Yeah, I don't have time to argue this. But I think your definition of success is not congruent with Israel's. The author appropriately highlighted the urgency with which Israel should be planning for the day after, but his predictions for the future were not retrospective.
Israel's explicitly stated objective is to destroy Hamas. Are you now claiming that Israel is lying? Or are we redefining "destroy" to mean "kill a bunch of them"?
Netanyahu's objective is to stay in power, and Israel's objective is to clear Gaza—of Palestinian life, Palestinian memory.
Nah man, there's no way a counter-insurgency campaign in the middle-east could ever turn into a quagmire.
Netanyahu shanked a high-level hostage-exchange proposal:

Update on the world's most moral army:
https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-relea...ations-against
Frankly, active membership in the IDF should be grounds for travel bans, and both IDF and its individual leaders should be hit with sanctions.
Eh, a vast majority of Jewish Israelis are legally required to serve in the IDF.
That's inconsistent with even how Wehrmacht soldiers were treated. Legal punishment requires committing an illegal act. Membership in a country's legal armed forces, especially when it is required by law, is basically collective punishment and certainly wouldn't stand up in any court.
Countries often bar individuals from entering on the basis of undesirable behavior that doesn't cross the threshold for crime. Travel bans don't constitute legal punishments in and of themselves, and don't require specific targets to commit any specific illegal acts.
