Alikado is correct. I didn’t accuse this person of anything. I stated that in my opinion, he should have been questioned as to whether or not he’s been complicit in any war crimes.
Rather apt considering the ICC is considering the imminent issuing of arrest warrants for Netanyahu and some of his cronies.
And about time too.

You have already proved discrimination against Jewish people now Israeli's coming to this Country.
Who next?
FYI and the resident Hamas and PIJ PR man- ICC arrest warrants are also imminent for Hamas leaders war crimes.
An ill fated attempt to stop the war between both sides.
As I have made clear before it is fair that any Israeli who has recently visited "the area" is fair game to be stopped as Palestinian students would face the same scrutiny.
No problem to read Jewish Israeli's and Bedouin and Arab Israeli's to be questioned on whether they served in the IDF.
Really no problem on Palestinian visitors questioned on whether complicit in war crimes of rape or kidnap or fought for Hamas,PIJ, or funding terrorism.

It would be an "unprecedented hate crime" for the International Criminal Court to issue arrest warrants against top Israeli political and military leaders, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday.
"Branding Israel's leaders andsoldiers as war criminals will pour jet fuel on the fires of antisemitism," Netanyahu said in an English language video: "those fires that are already raging on the campuses of America and across capitals around the world."

Prime Minister Netanyahu wishes to deflect responsibility for deplorable spike in hostility directed at Jewish people away from himself and his colleagues and onto the International Criminal Court and assorted other international institutions. It is a regrettable, recurring tactic deployed by uncompromising Zionist ideologues in their unending campaign of self-justification. |

Hamas are not so stupid at all. They knew that Israel would take revenge for the massacre of 1400 people ..
They knew, that the reprisals would cause the suffering of the civilians of Gaza. Which would draw world sympathies.
Hamas are now playing a game of cat and mouse with Israel, hoping that the communities of the West will step up.
Proposals for a ceasefire, have today been put on the table ..Hamas have yet to agree to the ceasefire.
Both sides will lose a lot if this agreement will fail.
Israel will go into Rafah and it will be a bloodbath for both sides.
In the meantime Hizbollah are having a grand time. Lobbing rockets and those bomb loaded UAVs into Northern Israel.this is happening everyday and some rockets are a few miles from Haifa.
What a crazy world.

The only good news today is that some other Arab States are supporting our allies.
I expect their tolerance for Hamas and PIJ will be less than Western Governments.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House passed legislation Wednesday that would establish a broader definition of antisemitism for the Department of Education to enforce anti-discrimination laws, the latest response from lawmakers to a nationwide student protest movement over the Israel-Hamas war.
The proposal, which passed 320-91 with some bipartisan support, would codify the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a federal anti-discrimination law that bars discrimination based on shared ancestry, ethnic characteristics or national origin. It now goes to the Senate where its fate is uncertain.
Action on the bill was just the latest reverberation in Congress from the protest movement that has swept university campuses. Republicans in Congress have denounced the protests and demanded action to stop them, thrusting university officials into the center of the charged political debate over Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza. More than 33,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war was launched in October, after Hamas staged a deadly terrorist attack against Israeli civilians.
If passed by the Senate and signed into law, the bill would broaden the legal definition of antisemitism to include the “targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity.” Critics say the move would have a chilling effect on free speech throughout college campuses.
“Speech that is critical of Israel alone does not constitute unlawful discrimination,” Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said during a hearing Tuesday. “By encompassing purely political speech about Israel into Title VI’s ambit, the bill sweeps too broadly.”
…
Among the questions campus leaders have struggled to answer is whether phrases like “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” should be considered under the definition of antisemitism.
The proposed definition faced strong opposition from several Democratic lawmakers, Jewish organizations as well as free speech advocates.
In a letter sent to lawmakers Friday, the American Civil Liberties Union urged members to vote against the legislation, saying federal law already prohibits antisemitic discrimination and harassment.
“H.R. 6090 is therefore not needed to protect against antisemitic discrimination; instead, it would likely chill free speech of students on college campuses by incorrectly equating criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism,” the letter stated.
Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of the centrist pro-Israel group J Street, said his organization opposes the bipartisan proposal because he sees it as an “unserious” effort led by Republicans “to continually force votes that divide the Democratic caucus on an issue that shouldn’t be turned into a political football.”

_____________
WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (IL-09) released the following statement after voting against H.R.6090:
"As a proud Jewish Member of Congress representing a large and diverse Jewish community, I take very seriously the widespread and growing threat of antisemitism, particularly following the October 7th terrorist attacks on Israel. I strongly condemn Hamas’s brutal attacks and recognize the urgent need to address the rising antisemitic incidents against Jewish communities both in the U.S. and abroad.
"Unfortunately, H.R. 6090, the Antisemitism Awareness Act, does absolutely nothing to counter antisemitism and is another Republican attempt to pit the Jewish community and Democrats against each other. This problematic bill would codify the overly broad International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism and chill free speech - including legitimate criticism of the Israeli government. Enshrining this working definition into law would do more harm than good, and IHRA’s own documentation states that it is intended to be non-legally binding guidance for education and training purposes only. I have long held that we should not codify any definition of “antisemitism” and should instead consult multiple definitions and examples when we carry out this important work – just as we have not codified a formal definition of racism, sexism, or other forms of discrimination. The Jewish community itself has yet to reach a consensus on the definition of antisemitism or what constitutes antisemitic speech, and it is inappropriate for Congress to step in.
…
"I will never stop fighting to end antisemitism. Together, we can build a safer and more accepting world for all."

The Union of Jewish Students (UJS) issued a statement on Thursday in which they said Jewish students are angry, tired and hurt by “the continuous torrent of antisemitic hatred on campus” since the 7 October attacks by Hamas.
Representing 9,000 Jewish students in the UK and Ireland, the UJS said: “While students have a right to protest, these encampments create a hostile and toxic atmosphere on campus for Jewish students.”
…
Speaking in the Commons, the Conservative former minister Sir Michael Ellis asked for a debate on antisemitism at UK universities. “There are reports in today’s press that some groups wish to actually replicate American-style protests where we’ve seen rioting and criminal damage.”
He said “terrorist slogans” had been chanted and “Hamas headbands” worn at the US protests, adding: “We don’t want this type of terrorist-supporting delinquency in this country at UK universities.”
…
Universities UK, which represents 142 institutions, said members were monitoring the latest news on campus protests in the US and Canada. “As with any high-profile issue, universities work hard to strike the right balance between ensuring the safety of all students and staff, including preventing harassment, and supporting lawful free speech on campus. We continue to meet regularly to discuss the latest position with university leaders.”

Gaza has been under blockade by Israel and Egypt since Hamas’ 2007 takeover, putting tight controls on what enters and exits the territory. Even before the war, it faced “hyper-unemployment” of 45%, reaching nearly 63% among younger workers.
According to the report, the U.N. Human Development Index – which measures key issues for a long and healthy life, for gaining knowledge and for achieving a decent standard of living – has been pushed back more than 20 years in Gaza.
The “productive basis of the economy has been destroyed,” the report said, with sectors experiencing losses of more than 90%. It estimated that the GDP of Gaza could decrease by 51% in 2024.
“The scope and scale of damages have been unprecedented and still mounting as the war still rages on,” it said.
At least 370,000 housing units in Gaza have been damaged, including 79,000 destroyed completely, the report said, along with commercial buildings.

"Pro-Palestinian protesters who have taken over US campuses this week have been invited by the Houthis to study in Yemen’s Sana’a University
"Sana’a University, which is run by the Iran-backed Houthis, issued a statement on Friday applauding the “humanitarian” position of students in the US who have occupied university campuses.
The statement included an email address for any students who wished to enquire about transferring.
“We are serious about welcoming students that have been suspended from US universities for supporting Palestinians,” an official at Sana’a University said.
“We are fighting this battle with Palestine in every way we can,” the official added."

I wonder if the invitation will extend to any of the racist Law breaking mob in the UK?

What people don’t seem to realize is that this is a war.
Houses and buildings have been demolished because most of those buildings had rocket launchers on the top ..after civilians were asked to go south, many of those buildings had snipers who entered the buildings through the network of tunnels
This war could have finished months ago had HAMAS agreed to a ceasefire
By holding on to the Israeli hostages and using not only the Palestinians to gain world sympathies, they have started psychological warfare against the grieving familles, by posting clips of young hostage women and more recently a young chap who had his arm blown off by a hand grenade while sheltering in a bomb shelter ..they dragged him back to Gaza …
Still 134 Israeli hostages being held in Gaza by Hamas.
Regarding the report by Hamas controlled spokesman, that 33 thousand killed ..this could be a true fact, but Hamas have always exaggerated , but I suspect that the majority were Hamas fighters.
What a waste of life on both sides ..

US: No opposition to statehood
US Deputy Representative Robert Wood said that as a permanent member of the Security Council, his country has a special responsibility to ensure that its actions further the cause of international peace and security in addition to being consistent with the UN Charter.
He said the report by the Committee on the Admission of New Members reflected that there was not unanimity among members as to whether the applicant met the criteria for membership as set out in Article IV of the UN Charter, including questions around whether it meets the requirements to be considered a State.
In this regard, he said the US has long called on the Palestinian Authority to undertake necessary reforms, noting that “Hamas, a terrorist organisation, is currently exerting power and influence in Gaza, an integral part of the State envisioned in this resolution.”
Reiterating that Washington continues to strongly support a two-State solution between Israelis and Palestinians, he said the vote “does not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood, but instead is an acknowledgment that it will only come from direct negotiations between the parties”.
