  3.  @mohamedali2858  Jews were the majority population in East Jerusalem at the time of the Ottoman Empire. No comparison with SA. BTW, the SA settlers were christians fleeing religious persecution in Europe at the same time as Pilgrims came to America.

  4.  @jakebhenry2228  "Displaced by war". Who started the war, 7 Arab countries. Egypt and Jordan annexed the land. 160,000 did stay and now represent 1.9 million, 21% of Israeli population. Show me the comparable in the region. The Palestinians, both Jew and Arab, fought with the British to free Palestine from the Ottoman Turk, the Jews were willing to share, the Arabs were not.

  5.  @jakebhenry2228  Thanks for the factual response. The paramilitary groups had been fighting since the early 1920s, but in November of 1947, Arab nations started sending soldiers and equipment, the 7 Arab countries declared an official war on the new nation state in May 1948. Dar Yassin happened before Israel was declared independent. Both Jews and Arabs fought with the British to free Palestine from the Turks in WW1. Both were trained and equipped by the British. The Jews were willing to share, the Arabs were not. I have proof: " Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921." - Library of Congress.

  6. 20 out of 24 battalions gone, pretty good. Where's Sinwar, ICC wants to talk to him.

  7. May 1948, Israel independence, 7 Arab countries declare war on new State. 22 Arab League countries, 450 million people, one Jewish state, less than 10 million. Some perspective.

  8.  @calliope801  Agree with one point. Before miliary attack on Gaza, Israel should have taken the media footage of 10/7 on a social media tour. Showed the babies with "censored", etc. Called for ICC to charge Sinwar, and then move into Gaza. That's the world we live in.

  11.  @robingrogan7937  IDF is made up primarily of citizen conscripts, not professionals. 100,00 active personnel (including conscripts- 60%) and about 450,000 reserves. There are 22 Arab league states, 450 million population. I'd say it's survival in a tough neighborhood. Lebanon is not all Hezbollah. Lebanon just signed agreements for gas leases off the coast. It's complicated, as you know. Free IRAN.

  21.  @hendysetiawan5508  The Khazar myth is false. The majority of modern Israelis are not from Europe anyway. 900,000 came in 1949-50 from North Africa, Egypt, Yemen, Iraq, Iran and even India. The DNA shows Eastern Mediterranean even for European Jews.

  22.  @georgegraham472  LOL, where were most of the Mamluks from who ruled over the region for hundreds of years.

  23. @GretsGarbo Turks called it Palestine because the Romans called it Palestine. The full diaspora began because of the Roman destruction of the 2nd Temple, but Jews were already living everywhere in the Roman Empire, including what would become Spain and England.

  29.  @mohamedali2858  Look, it's in the census, and Jews made up between 8-12% of the Region. The author of the Israeli Declaration of Independence was Zvi Berenson, born in Safed, 1907, his family had been there for 100s of years. The ethnic cleansing reduced the population of Jews under the Turks and Arab elites. 1896 Jerusalem Ottoman Census 8,748 Christian 8,560 Muslim 28,112 Jews 45,420 Total 62% Jews The Arab propaganda add Nablus and Acre in 1878 which reduces the number, but it does not erase the fact Jews never left. You cannot compare the region to SA or say it was a colonializations project. The Temple of Solomon is there, regardless of what Arafat said. The Taqiyya is a collusion between Pan-Arabism and the KGB project, not Zionism.

  32. @GretsGarbo ? I said that, it was part of a peace treaty agreement, Germany also ceded territory. "Hand over" sounds as if it was a "gift". LOL Arabs did not want either a Mandate or a Jewish homeland. The "resistance" began then. "During the Conference of San Remo [1920], two “A” mandates were created out of the old Ottoman province of Syria: the northern half (Syria and Lebanon) was mandated to France, the southern half (Palestine) to Great Britain. The province of Mesopotamia (Iraq) was also mandated to Great Britain. Under the terms of an “A” mandate the individual countries were deemed independent but subject to a mandatory power until they reached political maturity. When King Fayṣal of Damascus opposed the French mandate over Syria, he was expelled by the French Army." - News Service

  33.  @smulin01  The immigration laws of Israel are almost identical to those in Jordan. Why the double standard? Bibi is not "King", what he says, and doesn't say, is not law. Why does Israel "violate international law"? Easy, to survive as a nation/state surrounded by neighbors who violate international law. Other nation/states do the same. Why the double standard?

  37.  @deanl0  assassination was a lone wolf act, just like one the PLO who killed Jordan Prime Minister. The Arabs refused to share starting in 1920. Arabs fought their Muslim brothers, the Turks, with the christian British but refused to share with the Jews who also fought to free the region of Palestine.

  38. why are other Arab states "complicit"? Palestinians warred against their Muslim brothers, the Turks, then turned on Egypt and Jordan. who should be the ones to change?

  42.  @growingpakistan1225  39 Thai workers were killed on 10/7, two brothers were sent home to their father. You can watch his reaction online. The US carpet bombed North Vietnam and now work together, an envoy from the US just arrived in Hanoi. War is a crime, on both sides. I'm 69 and know what we in the US did to innocent civilians in Vietnam. I can't speak for the father who lost sons, but would say some introspection is also necessary, especially after I've seen some of the schoolbooks used in UNRWA schools.

  43.  @Lynn-i2w  When 21% of your population is Arab, when they serve on Knesset, the Supreme Court and in the IDF, that's not "apartheid". Show me an equal number of Jews in Jordan or Lebanon, were Palestinians don't have citizenship and are 2nd class. Israel has a vibrant economy, punches way above its weight in GDP, and is the only DEI nation in the region. Jordan's 7-pointed Star on its flag is Sharia, Qur'an, they have a "King" and it does not align with individual rights or democratic values. You have it backwards.

  45.  @growingpakistan1225  Ha ma s is Jihad, which dates back to the 7th century. They are not oppressed, they are in fact the oppressors, have been for centuries. Jews and Arabs fought with the British to free the Palestine region from the Ottoman Turk. Jews willing to share, Jihadists were not. Proof? Here it is: "Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress.

  48. War is a crime, this one started by Arabs over 100 years ago when they refused to share. Jews fought with the British to free the land from the Ottoman Turk.

  49.  @cncit  It was also Jewish homeland. Did they not deserve a nation/state after fighting alongside the Allied Powers in WW1? Is that not what the Hashemites did, too, fighting against their Muslim brothers alongside Christians? Many Muslims think those Arabs were traitors. In the 1900 census Jews were the majority population of East Jerusalem, and about 8-12% of the region. Jews fought with the British at Gallipoli, then established the Jewish Legion with 3 brigades in the war. Again, Jews willing to share, Arabs were not. They told Churchill they would side with Germany next time there was a war, and they did. Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, allied with the Nazis, became friends with Adolf Eichmann, and met with Hitler to discuss his "final solution". There's both photo and film evidence of these facts, even a new movie out in Egypt about it in praise of al-Husseini. "Displace Palestinians", Jews were Palestinians under the British Mandate, Golda Meir had a passport which said as much. After WW1 and WW2 there were 100s of millions of people displaced all over the world. An equal number of Jews were displaced in Arab lands like Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, and even India. Why the double standard? 160,000 Arabs stayed in the new nation/state of Israel. They are citizens, serve on the Knesset, the Supreme Court and even in the IDF. Show me the comparable in the region. Jordan is a theocracy, they even limit the number of Christians who can be in government. Again, why the double standard?

  57. Israel did not start the war, did not gain any "land". What are you talking about. Perhaps Jordan should give its land back to the Turks?

  58.  @TheNaturalust  Egypt blocaded the Straits of Tiran and moved armor into the Sinai ahead of attack. The brilliant tactical move by the IAF saved Israel from destruction by Egypt and Syria, which was proven to have been planned. Even Jordan has admitted that. Israel did not start the war in 1967. The Pan-Arabist military coup leader of Egypt, Nasser, did. The Golan Heights is a necessary military territory for defense. Has been for 1,000s of years. LOL. Israel begged Jordan not to attack in 1967, but they did, weakly, and the consequences were occupation, not by Jordan, but Israel. Most didn't want that job, but some extremists took advantage of poor choices by the Jordanians, who themselves were faced with a civil war created by the PLO, who assassinated their PM, Black September, and then kicked them out. It's time for the Arabs of the region to give up the KGB propaganda of the 1960s. It didn't work.

  59.  @TheNaturalust  H a m as/HMS took over Gaza in a military coup 14 June 2007, killing off its Fatah rival by throwing them off rooftops in Gaza City. Since then, Gaza has been a military platform for attacks against the nation/state of Israel. I've spent 50 years on this subject. Read and learned from all sides. What I now know is the "resistance" is racist and allows the racists to lie. It's called Taqiyya. If you are intellectually honest, read this from 1921. This is the group headed by Hajj Amin al-Husseini, who were complicit in the Nakba, which had really started in 1917 when the Hashemites allied with Christians to war on their Muslim brothers, the Ottoman Turk. "Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921."

  60.  @Sardarji-bq6oj  LOL, love it. You know foreskins were a kind of proof of war. A different kind of "scalping". Jews turned it into a preemptive strike, like some men shaved their heads so they wouldn't be scalped. Not a joke. Islam is a culturally appropriated belief system. There sound historic evidence in the Qur'an, and the history of battles between the Persians and Byzantines in the 6th and early 7th Century. History abhors a vacuum, and the Bedu filled it, but with the help of Jews in the Negev.

  61.  @TheNaturalust  Blockade in Tiran was an act of war, as all blockades of this sort are. "Nasser remained adamant, and on May 22, after UNEF withdrew, he announced that he would close the Straits. In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower had promised that the United States would treat the closure of the Straits as an act of war." - US Government You can debate, but my government considered Nasser's blockade an act of war. I'm in Real Estate, chain of "Title" is a very important aspect of my profession. The last title holder was by the Ottoman Turk. Both Jews and Arabs fought with the British in WW1. The Ottoman Turk ceded TITLE to that region as part of a Peace Treaty. Administrative Mandates were created, which were TEMPORARY, until autonomy was possible in the region. Jews were promised autonomy for being in the fight, were willing to share, the Arabs were not. That's AS RELEVANT as it GETS. Every "war" since 1948 has that unwillingness to share at its root. The Arabs promised unending war in a report to Churchill in 1921. They've kept their promise.
