Rainbow please tell me :wtf: Arab collaboration with the Nazis sixty years ago has to do with their right to live peacefully now?
Blanca, the Arabs have been trying to kill the Jews since before WWII. The whole issue of "Palestine" is simply an Arab propaganda tool. The people who lived in that region prior to the formation of the State of Israel were considered to be either Syrians or Jordanians. There is no such country as "Palestine", nor is there an historic, ethnically distinct people known as "Palestinians".
A quote from Walid Shoebat: "
As I lived in Palestine, everyone I knew could trace their heritage back to the original country their great grandparents came from. Everyone knew their origin was not from the Canaanites, but ironically, this is the kind of stuff our education in the Middle East included. The fact is that today's Palestinians are immigrants from the surrounding nations! I grew up well knowing the history and origins of today's Palestinians as being from Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Christians from Greece, muslim Sherkas from Russia, muslims from Bosnia, and the Jordanians next door. ".
“Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a Palestinian?”
“We did not particularly mind Jordanian rule. The teaching of the destruction of Israel was a definite part of the curriculum, but we considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Palestinians - they removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had a Palestinian flag”.
And this:
"It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity... yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel".
- Zuhair Muhsin, military commander of the PLO and member of the PLO Executive Council
Or this:
"There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent (valley of Jezreel, Galilea); not for thirty miles in either direction... One may ride ten miles hereabouts and not see ten human beings. For the sort of solitude to make one dreary, come to Galilee... Nazareth is forlorn... Jericho lies a mouldering ruin... Bethlehem and Bethany, in their poverty and humiliation... untenanted by any living creature... A desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds... a silent, mournful expanse... a desolation... We never saw a human being on the whole route... Hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive tree and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil had almost deserted the country... Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes... desolate and unlovely...".

The point being that the lands that currently constitute Israel were largely lived in by a mere handful of itinerant Arabs, not permanent settlers.
The few Arabs who actually lived there either abandoned the land when Israel was formed, or sold it to the Jews...but now they and their descendants are demanding that it be returned to them! - Too bad!
The Arab nations around Israel, particularly Jordan, have more than enough land and money to take in the so-called "Palestinians" and give them a place within their own society. But they don't want to because it serves their interests to have a poor, ill-educated, violent and angry group of people to use as anti-Israeli propaganda.
As for them siding with the Nazis, well, if you choose the side of evil, which they did, then you and your children will reap what you have sown...and it is entirely
your own fault. If these "Palestinian" leaders would be honest with themselves, they might come to the conclusion that they have brought all of this on their own heads.
At the end of the day, this is entirely a religious matter. - Islam vs Judaism. Now, I've never seen Jews beheading people/bombing churches/holding schoolchildren hostage/flying jetliners into buildings, and calling for the establishment of a worldwide Judaic State...but I have seen the Islamists doing this. I have also never heard the Israelis saying that they want to "Wipe 'Palestine' off the map", but I
have heard the "Palestinians" saying that about Israel.
Israel is 1/10th of 1% of all of the land in the Middle East...yet the Arabs can't give up some of
their land to their "Muslim brothers". Israel is
not the problem here.
I agree that Israel isn't perfect...but if 6 million of your relatives had been murdered simply because of their religion, you too might take a fairly hard-line attitude toward your survival.
Israel is the sole democracy within the Middle East. Israeli Muslims have the same rights as all other citizens, are allowed to vote and be represented within the Knesset. - How many Jews have those same rights within Arab countries?
Israel is more than happy to let those people live in peace...but those people don't
want to live in peace. It is as simple as that.
I support Israel now and always, and don't apologise for it.
