Simply amazing how many wrong historical facts one can put in so many paragraphs.Well I've done some of that already and you rejected it because it doesn't meet with your agenda.
You have brought up unrelated topics in order to confuse and conflate the issue. You have shown absolutely nothing to indicate that Israel is deliberately destroying Palestinian history -- which is the topic of the thread.
Ah, and see here you make a subtle shift in your argument. Its not really about the camps or the loss of culture. Its about ethnic cleansing.If you recall I mentioned the camps, moving Muslims out of Israeli territory etc.
Okay. Gotcha. Ethnic cleansing is a method of destroying history. Let's look at that.
How many Arabs are there in Israel? How many Arabs visit the Temple Mount each year?
How many Jews are in Gaza? The 'West Bank'? Jordan? The remaining nations of the ME? How many Jews are permitted to visit the Temple Mount annually?
Who is actually destroying culture here?
Further, let's look at where the Arab Palestinians are. The vast majority of them are still in Palestine. They haven't been removed from their country.
No, I brought up different views of other topics that you did not want to address because it goes away from your agenda.
As for the rest, I'm not in the mood for your semantics right now.
Oh, give me a break, I have addressed every one of your posts with lengthy responses.
You wanted to talk about how cleansing people from their homeland removes their culture. Let's talk about that.
Why aren't the Jewish people permitted to pray at their own most Holy site? Why, the few who are permitted to access the holy site, must they remove all cultural symbols? Why must they make their culture invisible to the usurpers of their holy site?
Further, you wanted to talk about the return of the Arab Palestinians to their homeland -- including the part under the sovereignty of Israel. Are you also willing to allow the return of the Jewish people to their homeland in Judea and Samaria? Why or why not?
If the Arabs are to return to Israel, perhaps in a one State solution, how will the Jewish culture be preserved in that environment? What evidences do you have that the Arabs will permit the Jewish culture to exist, let alone thrive? What guarantees would you give the Jewish people?
Let's talk about the subject matter. Or did you just want to find reasons to bash Israel?
Yes, you could have written a lengthy response about the 1789 Super Bowl, that doesn't mean that it's necessarily relevant.
What you're telling me is either that I stick to the parts of the topic you want to talk about or else I'm off topic. Which would basically mean that I'm not allowed to disagree with the whole premise of your view of the topic.
Why can't Jews go to their most Holy Site and pray?
Well, the Jews came into the region with all guns blazing and kicked out a large number of the local inhabitants and put a lot of them into camps. I'd say the locals are pretty pissed off, wouldn't you say?
Pissed off enough to try anything to get their own back? And it's not like Israel doesn't provoke at every given opportunity. Palestinian homes being destroyed, new Jewish homes being built all the time.
If you want to live side by side peacefully, you're going to have to act in a different way. I'm not saying it's possible, the animosity over the last 70 years is immense and might take two generations or more to put right, and certainly the politicians to put it right aren't in power.
You say I want to talk about the return of Arab Palestinians to their homeland. Er.. I don't ever remember talking about that with you.. so..... what?
Ah, you think I'm just here to bash Israel. You're just trying to stick my views in a convenient little box that you can understand simply. Sorry dude, my views don't fit in any of your boxes. I'm saying what I'm saying, don't make assumptions about what I'm not saying, it annoys the hell out of me. I've had so many debates on here where people start assuming I think something I don't think.
I already told you once, I'm not pro-Palestinian, I'm not pro-Israeli. I think the right wing Israeli govt is full of fuckheads who are using the situation for their own political purposes, and I think Hamas is full of fuckheads who are using the situation for their own political purposes.
But you have done it.
Congratulations.
Is there anything you can provide for the discussion about the destruction of Jewish History?
No?
Not the thread for you, then.
So long![]()
So what historical facts are wrong then?
No, I doubt any thread where there are a bunch of people who make it their goal to prevent the topic from going in a direction they're not happy with is my kind of thread. You lot want to keep slapping each other's backs and telling yourself how right you are because no one can tell you have wrong you are.
