I am. It’s kinda insane. More regular people who learn about the war are turning against Israel, but the government and this weird diehard Zionist sect does not care about any crime that is committed. You’re lucky to see a politician who says “both sides” let alone isn’t completely for Palestinian genocide.Israel has no right to exist. It’s a white settler colonial state. All its people are European Jews who decided they somehow have the right to lands on another continent. The UN (which was just Europe and the U.S. for half its existence) simply let it take place as people like Arthur Balfour were anti-semites and wanted Jews out of Europe. If you wanted true justice, you’d either stand your ground and make sure Jews can live in their true ancestral homes for the last millennium, or carve out a Jewish state in Germany to teach THEM a lesson.
Yeaaah basically. More Palestinian children died in this was in Gaza than both Arab and Israeli casualties in all major Arab Israeli wars, the two intifadas, and multiple years of general violence combined.
Really disappointed in you to spew antisemitic nonsense like that. Blocking and reporting you. Here’s some little facts for you. Not propaganda, but facts.- Jews have been living in Israel/Palestine (formerly Judæa) for their entire existence. That’s where Judaism (and later Christianity) was born. Nearly all Jews lived in the region until Muslim caliphs conquested the region and forced most Jews to convert to Islam or flee to Europe.
- Most Jews support the idea of a two-state solution, where both Israelis and Palestinians would be able to live in peace. Jerusalem would be a neutral city, meaning Jews, Muslims, and anyone else would be able to worship there. We are also generally in favor of a single multireligious, multicultural state. Most Palestinians, in the other hand, refuse both ideas and want to take over the entire region, displacing all Israeli Jews in the process.
- There are, of course, some Israeli ultranationalists who want to take over the entire region and displace the Palestinians, just like there are some Palestinian ultranationalists who want to do the same to Israelis (which is what you seem to be). However, EVERY country has ultranationalist groups like this, be they racists, neo-nazis, homophobes, or whatever other bigots there are. EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY.
- Israel is not an apartheid state. Israel’s mission is not to commit genocide, or ethnic cleansing, or assimilation, or any of that antisemitic nonsense. Our mission is to defend our country and protect ALL of our citizens, not just Jews. Did you know that 20% of Israel’s citizens are Arab? Arabs have complete equality with Jews in Israel, they are able to vote, hold government offices, go to school with Jews, and become any profession they want. Do Jews in Palestine have these same freedoms?
- Hamas is an internationally recognized terrorist organization, not a resistance movement. It’s goal is the defeat of Israel and the removal of all Jews from the region. It literally says so in their charter. Hamas doesn’t care about the well-being of Palestinians. It uses civilians as human shields to protect their terrorists as well as building terrorist shelters beneath homes and public facilities such as hospitals. Many Palestinians hate Hamas but cannot speak out against them because Hamas runs Gaza like a police state.
This is a funny one. Calling me an Anti-Semite when I am a Semitic person is a fun one.
1. Indeed, they have been living for millenniums. And those Jews stayed after the Islamic conquests, though most became Muslims. Those same Jews were expelled a thousand years later from their own homes. Jews almost certainly did NOT flee to Europe. Forced conversion is haram and if done was not an Islamic act. Some acts did take place historically, but not on a large scale, and definitely not in this era. The vast majority of Jews remained and converted, especially because at this time there weren’t really many organized states for Jews to flee to. Persia? Muslims. Spain? Muslim. Byzantium? Possibly… although 2/3 were now Muslim. It’s too bad I could find literally no source on Jews fleeing the Rashidun conquest en masse.
The Islamic world was a safe haven for Jews during the Middle Ages. Jews even fled there and were given asylum by the Ottomans and Mamluks during the Spanish Inquisition and genocide of non-Catholics in Iberia. There were some massacres and persecution, indeed, however these were far less numerous, extreme, common or systemic as in Europe
Unlike Europe, with its disgusting ghettos and mass slaughters of Jews, Palestine during Islamic control was significantly more harmonious. Communities of Jews in Morocco, Palestine, and other parts of Dar al-Islam lived rather peacefully with and among Muslims. After the overthrow of the (admittedly genocidal) Fatimids by the Ayyubids, Saladin would in fact guarantee Jewish rights. When the crusaders came and took Jerusalem, they committed a mass slaughter. Jews, Muslims, even Christians were murdered. When Saladin retook Jerusalem and various other cities, he in fact did much the opposite, sparing the vast majority of civilians. Christians in the Arab world, like in Syria or the Copts of Egypt completely supported the Sultan for this reason…
2. Two state solution? Seriously? The government literally voted against it in the UN and official statements outright reject the plan. Jerusalem was exactly that- a place of worship for all faiths before the creation of Israel. The formation of the state and its takeover of the city destroyed this. Furthermore, polls show that only 28% of Israeli Jews support the two state solution. You straight up lied there, Israelis do not support the two state solutions, through the majority of Arab Israelis do.
3. I never said anything about displacement. But yes, like Rhodesia and Apratheid South Africa, the state of Israel as we know it must cease to exist. And just like in those nations, white people would have the full right to remain, but must accept “native” rule. As for your own ultranationalists… they seem to have literal governmental control! And you ALREADY displaced and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocents. There are countless stories of Palestinian civilians being massacred, raped and shot for merely attempting to return home after being kicked out of their own houses.
4. This is pretty hilarious. Israel already committed mass ethnic cleansing. It’s bombing tens of thousands of civilians, majority of the dead are women and children when, if you are correct, Hamas is hiding in the tunnels! Of course, burning olive trees, farms, villages, in the past and present was all an act to protect your people!
Arab Israelis. This argument. Yet you forget the fact that Arab Israelis are among the poorest citizens in the nation. They are constantly profiled, harassed and shadowed by the state. It’s similar to Jim Crowe America. Legally, black and white Americans were seemingly equal, yet in actuality, the system directly persecuted them. Let’s not also forget the fact that Israel has been described as committing apartheid by the UN, human rights groups, and even current and former members of the IDF. If the Israeli government thinks Arabs are equal, then why were Palestinians exiled from their homeland? Why does Israel call itself “the Jewish state?” Palestine was never just the “Islamic” or “Arab” state/province. Jews, Christians and Muslims lived there together for centuries, we’ve b with nations like the Fatimids or Christian crusaders brutally attacking this society.
Jews in Palestine “don’t” have rights because they don’t exist. Why? After centuries of peaceful coexistence, they either migrated, expelled, or were compelled to immigrate from their homelands. Indeed, part of this was straight up racism, as the horrors of the Nakba bred idiotic ideologies. However, there was also a campaign by the Israeli government to bring as many Jews into the country, no matter where. I should note that antisemitism also rose as a result of European (even some Nazi) influence. Disgusting and unjustifiable, nevertheless.
Oh, and by the way, if you would have read the Palestinian constitution, you would know that they do have equal rights for all, including Jews.
If a New Yorker who does not even practice his faith can come and receive citizenship, than why not do the same for a Palestinian in Jordan, who are Muslims who can trace their own ancestry to this land, and not thousands, but tens of years ago (or just a few months?
