"a group of Orthodox Jewish people from NKI, who oppose Zionism for religious reasons, and who show up at many pro-Palestine protests"

Fascinating...thanks for the link to NIIK...Will tuck into this evening. I would have thought Orthodox Jews would have been the MOST 'Zionist'

delighted to be wrong!

Um. But it is.

What an exceptional piece.

I'm not sure about best overall, but in the category of Falafel After 10PM, I vote the Falafel Guys truck right off the Astoria-Ditmars N stop, on Ditmars. Open late all year round, they often hand you an extra, free toasty falafel while you're waiting. Crisp! Impeccable service! Lovely!

I'm glad it remained peaceful, and hope that Israelis stop killing people and stealing their land.

yeah, that second to last paragraph is a pretty good summary of human history, unfortunately.

Obviously, "Greater Israel" is a horrific name choice - but, man, have you actually looked at their actual website to see what is actually there? Like a journalist usually does, one would hope? :)

This is the list of locations where these folks are selling real estate:

Jerusalem | Tel aviv | Ramat Beit Shemesh | Netanya | Raanana | Modiin | Herzliya | Haifa | Nahariya | Rishon LeZion | Carmei Gat | Ramat HaNadiv | Ramat Gan | Givat Shmuel | Ashdod | Beersheva | Ashkelon | And many more!

Now, obviously "And many more!" could be hiding shit but literally ALL the place names are within the 1967 borders. None of this is "stolen land" by any metric unless you deem the very existence of Israel as "stolen land".

I may be a bit cross but I am offering this in a friendly spirit, not as an opening salvo to a fight.

Gush Etzion AFAIK. Look at the bottom of the site.

How doesIsrael and Netanyahu have so much influence over Trump? Sell land taken from Palestenians? How does Netanyahu dogwalk Trump in war with Iran? Check the Israeli connections in this Epstein Files relationship map!
