Comments by "Sandy Tatham" (@sandytatham3592) on ""In both cases, it's the same": Palestinian ambassador to the UK comments on Israel's elections" video.
"Why did they [right wing parties] pop up?" Because Israelis are clearly sick and tired of the increasing terrorism from Palestinians. Actions have consequences!!! Israel is here to stay and I'm happy if they come down much harder on all of the jihadi terror groups.

@Laliऽa-m8r : Do you have any evidence for this idea of "Greater Israel"? I'm living in the Sinai Peninsula which was once under Israeli control. They gave it back to Egypt for peace, which so far has worked. They also gave Gaza back to the so-called 'Palestinians' for peace, but that's been an absolute disaster. Israel will one day extend sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, land which historically belonged to the indigenous Jewish people and which is vital for security from attacks from Jordan. Israel's claim for part of the Golan Heights is also ethical because it's critical for their security, having been attacked numerous times by Syria.

@Laliऽa-m8r : Israel was founded legitimately through the 1947 United Nations Resolution. The fact that most Arabs rejected the partition plan and attacked Israel doesn't change the legitimacy of Israel. And today we see more and more Islamic nations, not just Jordan and Egypt, forming partnerships with Israel. This will continue to grow due to what Israel offers the Muslim world in the way of advancements in the fields of technology, science, health and agriculture, etc. The other problem with your prediction is that Islam is growing weaker. The ex-Muslim movement is growing exponentially and in the Arab world (with the exception of Yemen and Palestine) the trend is for people to move away from religion. The Palestinian people will cease to be used as geopolitical weapons against Israel because even the Muslim claim for Jerusalem being 'holy' is losing strength. Israel has great strategic and ideological value for the West and it will always be protected.

@Laliऽa-m8r : I can be confident because I have evidence to base my findings on. For example, you say "that land belongs to Muslims" but this contradicts the historical and archaeological evidence. There is also an international legal process which supports the legality of Israel. The Jews have been recognised as indigenous to the land of historic Palestine. What the majority of Muslims feel is not relevant to me, because they act on emotions, not the reality on the ground. I'm happy that the Jewish people are once again the caretakers of the Holy Land. When Muslims are in charge, they do not support basic freedoms. They are not peaceful and tolerant towards non-Muslims (kaffirs). Their ideology obligates the implementation of sharia which treats minorities as second or third class. They have laws against #blasphemy and #apostasy which I cannot support because they are against the human rights that the majority of the world follows today.
