God gave the land that is now Israel to the Jewish people

[GLASNOST]

Everytime he opens his mouth hitler parties.

Yes, indeed. We used to meet every Friday after sun-down at our favourite bakery just around the corner from the Birkenau brickworks. Nowadays they use microwave ovens. This generation is really much too lazy. Don't you agree?

There is also a small group of Orthodox Jews who are against the founding of the Israeli state because they believe it was not done at the right time according to religious scriptures. They often support the Palestinian cause.

Many live in New York, but it is a minority in a minority. Not super relevant in the general scheme of things (except for maybe their beliefs).

I simply posted this because I'm sick of all the radical "all Jews", "all Israelis", "all Palestinians", "all Arabs", "all Muslims" rhetoric so overwhelming these days.

Whether they are right or wrong doesn't matter. A good Jew questions and debates the scriptures. That's what the Talmud is all about and it is what makes Judaism superior to the other two "western religions" ... in my opinion. Of course, tolerance of believers in other religions also scores high in my judgment. Non-Jews are asked to follow only 10 of the commandments and still find favour after death. Unfortunately, Jews who follow those teachings are not more than "a minority in a minority", as you eloquently put it. The majority, instead, are ruthless Zionists and Hasbara trolls.

One of those was around thousands of years before the other.

You mean the Akkadian Arabs? That was long before the Canaanites or Islam

Which god?


And didn't some god give North America to the Natives?

God actually gave North America to the Jews - but Moses took a wrong turn someplace in Sinai.

 

[Richard-H]

The same 'god' that gave Canaan to the Canaanites.

Man's claim to ownership of the earth is tenuous at best, and only as God, the rightful owner, decrees or allows.

Which God?

The ancient Phoenician God of Real Estate?

This should make you proud​

An eight-year-old Palestinian girl shot dead by Israeli troops in the central Gaza Strip was killed while showing off her new school uniform to friends
Palestinian girl dies two days after an Israeli bullet to the head

Here Is another murder of a child that should make you proud
Bullets fired from the tank flew through the classroom window, hitting Mahmoud Hamad in the neck and Hisham al Habil in the head. The boys had not even been sitting by the windows but in the middle of the room.

It's time to settle this issue once and for all time!

My Uncle Harry took some magic mushrooms and had a vision from God who told him that all land in the entire world belonged to him as his family.

We wrote this down in a book. It is sacred to us.

SO....

Put on your swim trunks and get the hell off of my property!!!!

More importantly the land belongs to those who built a nation on it

A nation for all people.

Palestinians are Arabs, Arabs are immigrants, attracted to the money us Christians were spending in Israel

Arab Muslims were a majority in Palestine up until the 1930s. You're very ignorant.

Israel deceived the world in 1967, and paid the price for it in 1973

Israel pretended to be the victim during the Six-Day War, and succeeded in deceiving the world. But it failed to prepare properly for the Yom Kippur War, fearing it would be blamed for starting the next war

A majority does not make a nation

A majority seeking a dictator does not make a nation.

The vast majority of the buildings and archeological finds are NON-MOSLEM

Not before 600 AD they weren't.

Arabs were in Palestine long before Islam. Sargon2 settled four Arab tribes in Samaria during the Babylonian exile.

This article is a good read. Obviously things are not as black and white as many think. Yes Virginia, things are complicated.

---Orthodox Jews were also more likely than Jews in other denominations to say that the Israeli government was making a sincere effort to reach a peace settlement with the Palestinians and that God gave the land that is now Israel to the Jewish people. By contrast, most Jewish Americans said they did not think that either the Israeli government or Palestinian leaders were sincerely seeking peace---

U.S. Jews have widely differing views on Israel

Jewish Americans – much like the U.S. public overall – hold widely differing views on Israel and its political leadership.

God, you're stupid.

You gonna claim Arab Muslims were in Israel before 600 A.D.?

 

[elektra]

Arabs were in Palestine long before Islam. Sargon2 settled four Arab tribes in Samaria during the Babylonian exile.

Those tribes died long ago, and they did not build anything. They occupied Jewish land homes buildings
