  1. Rubbish. Why do you think the Arab nations are keen to do business with Israel today, and they ignore the Palestinians? #AbrahamAccords

  2.  @jesuispalestinien9108 : How can you have peace with people who call for your obliteration from the river to the sea? I'd put my money on the growing trend for Muslim-majority nations to want tourism and business relationships with Israel.

  3.  @jesuispalestinien9108 : You say "2 billion Muslims are Palestinians". What do you say about the growing trend for people to walk away from their religion?

  4. ​ @jesuispalestinien9108 : The fact that religion is losing its grip on people everywhere today is not usually considered a boring topic. I agree that things run in cycles, but we have never had access to information like we have had in the last 20 years, and evidence and facts are beginning to matter to young people more than ever before. If you believe that Muslims all have a choice in being believers or not, then I suspect you haven't lived in a country run on Sharia law where there are negative consequences to such a choice. But I guess it might feel nice to cherry-pick lines out of scripture. Israel is a legitimate nation state. It came about through the defeat and collapse of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1918. All of the Arab countries which exist on liberated Ottoman Empire Middle East land, comprising 99%+ of the area, came out of the same origins as Israel. The Jews were acknowledged in 1920 by the League of Nations as the indigenous people of historic Palestine. They were granted less than 1% of the total Ottoman Caliphate ME land on which to form their new nation state, with non-Jewish occupants being accorded equality under the law. Today we see Arab Muslim Israeli citizens participating in the highest levels of Israeli society, including government, security, education, science and technology, and they comprise 21% of the total population. Those living in historic Palestine in 1948 who did NOT accept Jewish rule, and who fled when the five surrounding Arab nations attacked Israel, would be considered 'displaced peoples'. They should long ago have been resettled in adjacent Arab lands, or in other countries. Just as the 850,000 Jews who were 'displaced' from Arab nations have been resettled in Israel or other countries today and who got on with their lives without complaining. Millions and millions of people have been 'displaced' through wars and founding of new nation states in the last 100 years. Why are the so-called 'Palestinians' the only group that still receives huge funding and publicity today? Why do Jordan, Syria and Lebanon still hold such people in 'refugee' camps? Why are Palestinians punished for selling property to Jews? Why do Palestinian people allow themselves to be weaponised as political pawns in the game of Muslims vs Jews, which we see is running out of momentum?

  5. Nonsense. She had written one article that was published, and she was a known knife-stabber. That's why she was killed.

  7.  @lssteckel242 : I am thankful for him writing this, but you speak out a lot so you deserve thanks too. I'll read more of Naveed Anjum's articles.

  8. After the collapse of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1918, the Jews were recognised as the indigenous people of historic Palestine by the League of Nations in 1920. This legalised the return of the Jews to their ancestral homeland, with non-Jews having equal rights. This is the status today and it's time you accepted that. The State of Israel is not going anywhere. Nor are the two million Arab Israelis who live under Jewish rule.

  9. ​ @Ishi79 : The British also helped liberate the Arabs from the Ottoman Turk rule: The Arab Revolt of 1916-18. The Arabs were granted 99% of the Middle East land of the dismembered Ottoman Caliphate. These Arab countries today are Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. The Jews were granted less than 1% of that land, and they still struggle to live in peace in their ancestral homeland today. One fifth of Israeli citizens are also Arabs. They have equal rights with Jews, and they participate in the highest levels of government, education, health, technology and science industries.
