I agree with #2. My Israeli friends call him Crime Minister Netanyahu. Before Oct 7 millions of them were in the streets protesting against his authoritarian assault on the judiciary.

I, and they, never agreed with his "mow the grass" boost Hamas strategy.

After #3: often.

Texas synagogue: sampling error.

Watch https://palwatch.org and The Ask Project interviews with ordinary Palestinians. From the river to the sea gets near unanimous support. All polls show the same. Hamas would win any fair election in the West Bank, which is why there aren't any since 2005. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/palestinian-poll-finds-strong-support-for-hamas-oct-7-attacks-river-to-the-sea-state/ar-AA1k6mEx

Memri just translates what the Arabs say in Arabic when they think we're not listening. So listen.

"gentiles will be our slaves"--Israeli Arabs who identify with the state of Israel and defend obviously don't see most Israelis this way. Listen to Muslim Dimona-born TV presenter Lucy Ahrish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LIcd7wHlCE

None would want to live under the PA instead of the Israeli government.

Conversely, the majority of Palestinians deny Jewish sovereignty and want a return to what they see as natural order, hierarchy and justice: dhimmitude for Jews. Again, listen to the Ask Project interviews.

God's light: As a prosciutto-loving Jewish atheist who's read four books by Richard Dawkins, not a chance. I hate no people, but I do hate the Islamist jihadi death cult ideas of the authoritarian collectivist misogynist homophobic shame-honor culture that prevails in most of the Arab world. Like the Khmer Rouge mix of nationalism and 1950s French PCF Stalinism, it's a toxic mix of Muslim supremacy and the 20th century totalitarianism of Nazism and Stalinism. Here's the historical background, should you care to look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO2jw6N58HU
