  1. Sorry, but that's just rubbish. The Palestinians are responsible for their own predicament, their own disasters. One fifth of Israeli citizens today are Arabs who accepted the Jewish State of Israel. They are the lucky ones.

  2. Very well said, especially your conclusion. Thank you...🙏

  3. Neither the Israelis nor Palestinians have been happy with the media coverage. And we've also seen desecration of al-Aqsa mosque by Muslims, haven't we? Don't hold your breath for a "South Africa moment". The Palestinian cause seems to be losing momentum.

  4. My thoughts too...🙏

  5. Why won't the Palestinian Authority allow for an independent investigation of the bullet and Shireen's helmet? Those who avoid investigations are almost always guilty. There is a video of a female Palestine journalist saying that Palestinian shabaab snipers were also close by.

  6.  @remo2118 : How can there be action when the evidence is being withheld by the Palestinian Authority? Doesn't that make you suspicious? Do you live in Palestine?

  7.  @remo2118 : There is NO apartheid. That's just a lie. It's propaganda, which you seem to have fallen for. But there is a huge security problem in Israel which necessitates VERY strict security measures. More than one-fifth of Israeli citizens are Arab Muslims who live with EQUAL rights under Israeli law. Arab Muslims participate in Israel's parliament, judiciary, and even in their security forces. That does NOT happen where apartheid is practised. Apartheid is present, however, in the Palestinian territories. Can an Arab sell property to a Jew without the threat of losing his life? Can Jews live in any Palestinian territory? I stand with Israel. I also stand with those Islamic nations which are today normalising ties with Israel.

  8. Well said. People seem to ignore the fact that one fifth of Israeli citizens are Arabs. They have equality under the law, and they participate in all levels of society, including sitting in the Knesset and being appointed to the Supreme Court. Those Muslims who are HOSTILE to Israel should find a way to leave.

  9. Exactly. Millions of people have been displaced in the last 100 years due to wars and the creation of new nation states. Today it's only the Palestine 'cause' that gets such publicity and which has a UN human rights council #UNRWA dedicated to perpetuating their status of living in limbo. Those other 'displaced' people have accepted what happened, and are now doing quite well in their new countries.

  10.  @karimb972 : I guess it depends on what you believe a mosque is to be used for? It's not disrespecting or desecrating a sacred place if that place is also designated as a gathering place for violence and for storing weapons. My favourite poem quoted by President Erdogan: "The minarets are our bayonets, the mosques are our barracks, the believers are our soldiers". As for your statement that "Palestine will win and Israel will lose", I wouldn't hold your breath. Arab nations are now normalising ties with Israel so I think it's clear that Israel is here to stay. There is also a growing trend towards apostasy from Islam that you can't ignore. #EndTimes

  12.  @redpoppy4816 : That's probably one of the most ridiculous statements that I've ever heard. Are you a child? The ARMIES of FIVE ARAB COUNTRIES attacked the newly formed State of Israel. Those Palestinians who FLED, hoping that the Jews would be massacred, are the ones who are responsible for their OWN downfall. They backed the LOSERS. Israel is here to stay. Get used to that fact and stop talking such nonsense.

  13. The Ottoman Caliphate joined Germany in its war of aggression against the British French & Allies. To be assured of Jewish support, the British declared the Jews would have sovereignty over their ancestral homeland if the Ottoman Caliphate was defeated. Wars have consequences. The LOSERS did not get to decide what happens with the land they lost in 1918. The Arabs were granted sovereignty over 99% of the collapsed Ottoman Empire Middle East land. Do you also complain about them? Those Arabs who are still HOSTILE to Israel should move to one of the 22 Arab nations.

  14. Arab nations are now normalising ties with Israel so I think it's very clear that Israel is here to stay. There is also a growing trend towards apostasy from Islam that you can't ignore. #EndTimes

  15. The Ottoman Caliphate went to war against the British French & Allies and LOST in 1918. Out of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the new nation states of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Saudi Arabia were formed on 99% of the Middle East land. Did the Arabs also steal land? If you don't think Israel is legitimate, then are those other countries also NOT legitimate? Why hold Israel to a different standard?

  16. The current leaders were elected by the Palestinians...🙄

  18.  @remo2118 : So far it has been "trial by media". That's called #propaganda. My position is always 'innocent until proven guilty'. It could also have been just a tragic accident...🙏

  19. ​ @remo2118 : "Zionist media" is the kind of nonsense that I hear a lot in the Muslim-majority world. Why not analyse the facts?

  20.  @remo2118 : That's a surprise, a Hindu from India who stands for Palestine!!! Thanks for letting me know. It helps me to understand your perspective. The bullet and helmet worn by the journalist (evidence) are still with the Palestinian Authority. They have not yet allowed for an independent investigation. That's very suspicious, however we know that the goal is for them to attempt to win in the 'public arena' by spreading propaganda for their cause. If it was found to be Palestinian snipers who shot Shireen, they would get very bad publicity. If the PA leadership was confident that the militant gunmen in Jenin did not shoot in the direction of the press on that morning, then they would allow for an independent analysis. No matter who shot her, it could just have been a tragic accident but they are politicising her death to get more publicity and more funding. Do you support the corrupt leadership of Fatah in the Palestinian Authority and Hamas in Gaza? They were elected by the Palestinian people and they have continuously refused all peace negotiations with Israel. Their goal is to remove the Jews altogether from 'historic Palestine', the ancestral homeland of the Jews. Many Arab nations have lost interest in the Palestinian 'cause' and are now rapidly normalising relations with Israel.

  21.  @remo2118 : I feel the need to add, for your education, that the Jews have been ethnically cleansed from pretty much ALL Arab nations, and from wherever Jordan occupied 'historic' Palestine in the last century. Does that bother you at all? Around 850,000 Jews were expelled from their generational homes in the Middle East and North Africa last century. But are they still complaining and whining today? Did those Jews go to war against anyone? Did they stand, like the Palestinians did, on the side of the Arab nations who went to war against the newly founded state of Israel? I'm in Egypt right now. In 1948 there used to be close to 80,000 Jews living here. Today there are less than THREE Jews permanently residing in Egypt. They lost their property and fled for their lives, mostly to Israel. Do you support that kind of cleansing?
