  4.  @Rabbithole8  You said, I am quoting you: > Israel presents the truth blemishes and all Yet you also say that the government doesn't. So you are either talking out both sides of your mouth, or not expressing yourself well at all. Well, when people talk about Israel, they are talking about the government and successions of government. I never once said "Israelis" as in all the individuals. You've also said you are not Israeli, if I am correct? If that's the case, why do you feel the need to Stan for them? Am I right in guessing you are Jewish, then? Listen, if you were Palestinian I bet you would have a completely different point of view and that is what people like you cannot do, you cannot put yourself in their shoes. I am completely capable of understanding how Israelis feel and sympathetic to their desires, that doesn't make those desires fair, and their belief that they are "God's Chosen" and "God gave us Israel" doesn't validate any of their claim to the land, but I so often hear it brought up. You mention 'antisemitism', but how you described Palestinians is full of an equal degree of bigotry, Palestinians just don't get a special privileged word for it. In answer to your question, I don't need to point out the corruption and cynicism of Arab leaders, because they are thoroughly covered in the west. I push back against narratives that flatter the State of Israel and the foundation of Israel, because that is what we in the west have been bombarded with all our lives. Especially with this video which is blatant Israeli government propaganda, designed to manipulate the citizenry of foreign countries. This video is produced as part of information warfare, and your initial comment completely reeks of the stench of it. Got it? Jews aren't special cases of human beings, they are equally capable of deceit, being murderous and evil as they are able to being lied about, murdered and have evil done to them.

  10. ​ @Alex3Mythical  Are you taught that you drove people from the land and homes and ethnically cleansed them? I don't care how much you won as "spoils of war", that began in 1948 by your side prior to that and taking it as part of war was a continuation of the same aims. The amount of development and achievements that Israel has done on the land doesn't change that or justify it. The British gifting something that wasn't theirs to give doesn't legitimise it. Your God did not come down from heaven to gift it to you, neither was he speaking to Ben-Guiron. I'm not Arab, I don't like Islam, yes they do have an extreme hatred of Jews which predates the formation of the state of Israel. That doesn't change the facts of how the state of Israel was established. Nothing can take away from other virtues that Israelis have accomplished, the sweat and blood of building a nation is a great thing. But please don't try to tell me that Israel doesn't lie to itself about how it came to be, just watch the documentary 'Tantura' which is made by Israeli Jews which exposes this as a lie. Don't try to say that when in the specific cases where Palestinian Arabs have the documents which prove their ownership of the land or even the very house some settlers are now living in and they won't be given it back that isn't theft. Do your teachers tell you that it was an 'ethnic cleansing' or do they refuse to use that term? Germans get a real indoctrination of the horrors that occurred during WW2, don't try to tell me Israelis get an equivalent education. Come on.
