Rockets have been fired from Gaza "across southern and central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and the infiltration of Hamas militants."

Over 100 Israelis have died and more than 900 were injured after rockets were fired from Gaza by Hamas militants, Israeli officials said Saturday.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said 198 were killed in Gaza and at least 1,610 were injured Saturday in retaliatory attacks from Israel.

“We are at war. We will win,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday.

The Israeli Defense Forces earlier declared “a state of alert for war,” according to a statement issued by the IDF.

“Over the past hour, the Hamas terrorist organization launched massive barrages of rockets from Gaza into Israel, and its terrorist operatives have infiltrated into Israel in a number of different locations in the south,” the IDF said early Saturday.

    The 1914 deportations were of Russian Jewish people.

    This sounds like you’re defending ethnic deportation. It doesn’t matter which passport the Jews held. They were expelled.

    Only 1/3 of the population that was deported in 1917 were Jewish.

    I am clearly and specifically talking about the Jews, not the Muslims or Christians.

    Under British rule all the people deported in 1917 were allowed to return.

    But they were not given their land and houses back. They were displaced, just like some Palestinians in 1948.

    I’m struggling to believe you could argue the ways the Jews were treated is better. If anything, it was much worse. The Palestinians have never been wholesale deported, only displaced within the same nation.
