  1. The only apartheid is in Muslim lands. How many Jews live in Muslim countries? Most of them have killed or expelled all their Jews, while some - such as Lebanon and Saudi Arabia - do not allow Jews on their soil, even as visitors, to this very day. 1.8 million Arabs live in Israel as full Israeli citizens, where they serve in the Israeli Knesset (Parliament), on the Israeli Supreme Court, in the Israeli Defense Forces, as EMTs, doctors, lawyers, police officers, judges, businessmen, CEOs, and everything else, working side-by-side with Israeli Jews. There are more Arab than Jewish doctors per capita in Israel. The biggest bank in Israel has an Arab as its CEO. An Arab judge put a former Israeli president into prison after convicting him of a crime. If you really want to find out the facts, then open your mind and learn, please.

  3.  @Y_Santana  If Gaza is an open air concentration camp, why don't the Gazans leave through the rear door to Egypt? Why won't any of the 55 Muslim countries let them in? Why have numerous countries - Jordan, Lebanon, and Kuwait come to mind instantly - thrown them out? Why did Israel not erect a fence until Gazans begam sending suicide bombers to blow up passenger buses?

  5.  @hoofroodat  Any other facts you want to deny? Lebanon and Saudi Arabia do not allow Jews into the country. Why are you denying that fact?

  7.  @rxw101  Israel is not occupying anything. Israel was never and has never been indigenous Arab land. Look at a map of Arabia; Israel is not there. The term "Palestinian" is false, recently made up for political purposes. The PLO invented the term "Palestinian" in the 1960s. It is utterly bogus. Walid Shoebat, a former Muslim terrorist who at that time lived in the area that became known as the "West Bank," (another invented term) said "how can I go to bed as a Jordanian one day, and wake up the next day as a Palestinian?" Then-PLO Executive Committee member Zahir Muhsein, in a 1977 interview, said: "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality there is no difference between Jordanians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for our political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since the Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people,’ to oppose Zionism.” There are many, many more quotes like that. 60 years ago, there was no term "Palestinian" to refer to Arabs living in Israel. Jews have been living in Israel for thousands of years continuously. When the British mandate was rolling to a close early in the 20th century, they sought to give land to both Jews and Arabs. The Jews accepted every offer. The Arabs turned down every one. The day that Israel began on its own rather small part of the British mandate area, and only on the part given to Israel, they were attacked by six Arabs countries who swore to push them into the sea. That failed. Five Arab countries tried again in 1967. That failed spectacularly. Then an Egyptian-led coalition of five countries in 1973 that initially succeeded, but ultimately failed. Every attempt at handing an Arab state to the so-called "Palestinians" has been turned down by the "Palestinians". That includes several before 1948, again in 1948, and again in 1998, and 2000, and 2008. Every time the "Palestinians" say no, demanding every inch of Israel, and the end of the Jews - at a minimum those living in Israel, although some call for the death of every Jew worldwide. Israel offered Gaza to Egypt many times in the past. Egypt refuses to take it. Israel left Gaza completely in 2005, and pushed to help establish it at as a peaceful home for the Gazans, aid included. Instead Hamas took over, and turned it into a terrorist nest, attacking civilians mostly in Israel, but also in Egypt. That is when both Egypt and Israel erected a separation for the protection of their own respective civilians. Note that Egypt and Jordan were among the countries that had previously declared war against and attacked Israel. Israel has always offered peace to any Arab or Muslim country that wanted it. Egypt accepted in 1978/1979, and Israel gave back the entire Sinai desert, captured from Egypt five years earlier. Israel and Egypt currently have a very good working relationship. Jordan accepted a peace deal in 1994. Since then they have a cold peace with Israel, but peace it still is. Note that Israel made peace three years ago with Bahrain, Oman, and the UAE, and was coming very close to making peace with Saudi Arabia, a country which had attacked Israel many times (1948, 1967, and 1973). It was this outbreak of peace with the Sunni world (85% of Muslims) that caused Iran-backed Hamas (all of whom are Shia) to attack Israel. Also note that the "Palestinians" have been in and out of many Muslim countries over the years, and have fomented upheaval and war in all of them, leading to their expulsion. They nearly overthrew Jordan, so Jordan killed 2,000 and expelled 30,000 "Palestinians". Beirut was once called the "Paris of the Middle East", until 1975 that is, when the "Palestinians" turned it into a civil-war torn hellhole. Kuwait recently kicked out over 100,000 "Palestinians". The Syrian civil war has been about Assad (truly an evil man) trying to get rid of his "Palestinian" problem. Asaad has killed hindreds of thousands of them; the world pays no attention. #FactsMatter

  8.  @nizara4168  See, you wrote utter falsehoods, because you can't handle the truth. Israel has never been indigenous Arab land - do you own a map? Look at Arabia, then look at Israel. Israel is not in Arabia. There have been Jews in Israel continuously for thousands of years. All the lies you repeat excusing the evil done by Hamas doesn't change the actual facts, which is that Israel has sought peace from the beginning, while your side has insisted upon terrorism and war.

  9.  @nizara4168  There is essentially no genetic overlap between Jews and Arabs at any time between 3500 years ago and 50 years ago. Israel is historically Jewish land. "Jerusalem" is mentioned 669 times in the Jewish Tanakh written thousands of years ago. It is not mentioned once in the Koran. "Israel" is mentioned in the Tanakh over 2500 times. In the Quran? The land of Israel is never mentioned, but the term "Israel" is used 41 times to refer to the Jewish people, the "sons of Israel". Israel does not commit war crimes, period. According to British commander Richard Kemp, Israel has "the most moral army in the world". The fact is proven by Hamas hiding behind civilian shields. Why bother if Israel targeted civilians indiscriminately? It wouldn't make sense. You know, maybe they shouldn't have brutally attacked Israel, then decided to hide behind their own civilians. Or do you want to have a new rule: "Any terrorist group can kill as many babies and rape as many women as they want, but if they hide behind their own civilians then they get away with it." Whaddya think? I think that would be a terrible idea.
