I know, huh? I was thinking the same about you. That maybe you were someone who held reasonable views about the Jewish people and Israel. But then you started with what looks suspiciously like victim blaming. Is it possible I entirely mis-read your question?
Why are the Jewish people still having to defend their homeland from the people of Gaza? Why don't the people of Gaza stop attacking Israel? What are they fighting for?
Well, to start with, I didn't go down the road of "victimhood" as most zionists do...
Jewish people SHOULD have their own homeland... And they should defend it... They should NOT have a fascist ideology, they should not have expansionist ideas!
Accept what was given and make your homeland... Don't the steal other people's homeland!
It is NOT the people of Gaza that you have to defend yourselves from, it is Hamas! That needs to be made quite clear! It is NOT Islam that Israel needs to defend itself from... It is extremists... In the same way that EVERYONE... Jew, Muslim, Christian, Catholic, Black, White, yellow needs to "defend" themselves from extremism...
I have NO issue with Jews, I have issues with extremist Jews... As I have stated many times, I have Jewish friends, in Israel, in America, in Europe... I holiday every year with some of my Jewish friends, in their homes... Makes me a real "Jew hater" doesn't it... NOT! Next month I will stay with some Jewish friends in the US... Have dinner with many of their Jewish friends, party, go to clubs, the beach (I hope), discuss Israel/Palestine... And, I can tell you, there will open, constructive discussion about the positives and negatives of both! At the end of the day, we will still be friends, we will have an understanding of each others points of view, we will ALL believe that aggression is NOT the way forward!
I cannot tolerate the extremist zionist ideals that are being bandied around these days...
Jews have a homeland now, yet zionists want more, under the 'false flag' of 'security'...
Two questions...
The Israeli military consists of?
The Palestinian military consists of?
I have my 'list' of both... Perhaps you can offer her your list for both?
