  1.  @muhammadedwards8425 : Muhammed, you have to remember that wars have consequences. The Ottoman Empire was DEFEATED in 1918. They didn't get to decide who got what land, but 99% of their broken-up Middle East empire was given to Arabs for self-rule (today's Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Jordan). The British Mandate of Palestine was granted to the #indigenous Jews to reconstitute their ancestral homeland, so long as they gave equal rights and freedom of religion to the other occupants of the land at that time. Today Israeli Arab citizens make up 21% of the population of Israel, and they have equal rights and freedom of worship. They are Arabs whose families accepted life under Jewish rule. Those Arabs who sided with the Arab armies which attacked Israel, hoping to massacre the Jews, made an extremely bad choice.

  2. They don’t seem to have been taught their history either. The Arabs of Palestine and Ottoman Turks were defeated in 1918. The Ottoman Caliphate ceded its land to the Allies, the British, French, etc. Wars have consequences🙄. Two million Arabs are Israeli citizens today because their families accepted life in the Jewish state of Israel in 1948. They have equal rights and freedom of religion. This nonsense of ‘right of return’ should never have been allowed to fester and grow. Arabs displaced by war should within a year or two have been absorbed by those Arab countries which attacked Israel. Stop funding this perpetual refugee status. It doesn’t help the children of the next displaced generations. #OneJewishState is the answer. Offer the Arabs “permanent residence status” in Israel. Israel 🇮🇱 extends sovereignty over all of the land ‘from the river to the sea’. The Arabs would then have equal civil rights with Israeli citizens, and autonomy in their own cities.

  4. Corey is educating the world on what these TikTok generation Arabs really think.

  5. Very well said🙏. But the Arabs have an “honour-shame” culture so they are more easily manipulated by their emotions and their corrupt leaders. There’s less chance of them being pragmatic like other cultures, sadly.

  6. I don't see 'peace' happening while Palestinian Muslims still believe in scriptures like this: Qur'an Surah al-Baqarah: 2:191 "Kill them wherever you find them, and DRIVE THEM OUT [the Jews] from where they drove you out..." However, Islam appears to be losing power in the Arab world. Give it a few decades and I think we will see peaceful co-existence. A young Egyptian Muslim told me recently that after they had driven all the Jews out from Palestine, they will drive all the Christians out from Al-Andalous [Spain] and it will become part of the Islamic Caliphate once again. Is this #MuslimBrotherhood thinking?

  7. Israel still has a legal claim to ALL of the land. It was granted to them after the Arabs of Palestine and Ottoman Turks were defeated in 1918. In 1922 the Ottoman Middle East land was carved up by the League of Nations. The Hejazi Arabs, who fought with the British, were given 99% of the land, today's Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. The Jewish people also fought with the British and they were given the legal right to reconstitute THEIR ancestral homeland on the land 'from the river to the sea'. One-fifth of Israeli citizens today are Arabs whose families accepted life in the Jewish state of Israel in 1948. Stop keeping these displaced Arabs in perpetual refugee status. They should be offered "permanent residence status" in Israel and given equal civil rights. Those who reject that offer should be resettled by UNHCR in another more suitable country.

  8. The Arabs of Palestine and Ottoman Turks were defeated in 1918. The Ottoman Caliphate ceded its land to the Allies, the British, French, etc. Wars have consequences🙄. Don’t they get that? Two million Arabs are Israeli citizens today because their families accepted life in the Jewish state of Israel in 1948. They have equal rights and freedom of religion. This nonsense of ‘right of return’ should never have been allowed to fester and grow. Arabs who were displaced by the 1948 war should have been absorbed by those Arab countries which attacked Israel. Stop funding this perpetual refugee status. It is not helping the children of the next displaced generations (as this video of the TikTok generation clearly shows). #OneJewishState is the answer as proposed by former Ambassador David Friedman. Offer the Arabs “permanent residence status” in Israel. Israel 🇮🇱 extends sovereignty over all of the land ‘from the river to the sea’. The Arabs would then have equal civil rights with Israeli citizens, and autonomy in their own cities.

  9.  @muhammadedwards8425 : What's your definition of indigenous peoples? There must be a continuous connection to the land. The Jewish people have been connected to their land for over 3500 years through their kings, coins, burial places of ancestors, artefacts, place names like Judea, archaeological evidence of Jewish life, the unique Hebrew language, spiritual symbols of plants such as olives, figs, pomegranates, etc. grown in that land, and religious practices which focus on that land, ie. "next year in Jerusalem". It doesn't matter whether the people were displaced or not. They just have to show that the connection has been maintained, and this is very clear in the case of the Jewish people. They are an "indigenous rights" success story. The Arabs invaded in the 7th century and created a narrative about Al-Aqsa Mosque which is clearly false and just a political symbol of conquest built on top of the holiest Jewish site. There is nothing to indicate that Arab Muslims are indigenous to the Holy Land. The British did not "force" the Jews to return. They were given the right to reconstitute their ancestral home there by a unanimous vote in the League of Nations in 1920. The British, French and Allies WON the war and the Holy Land has great strategic and religious value to the Judeo-Christian world, so it was natural to want the Jews being back in control in their homeland. Arabs living in Palestine started attacking the Jews as soon as they realised they would lose the region to the Jews. The Hebron massacre in 1929 is just one example. The majority of Arabs arrived in Palestine only AFTER the Ottoman Empire was defeated and the Jews and British had improved the land and created economic opportunities for migrants. The sad thing was that the Arab nations closed their doors to those Arabs who were displaced from 1948 onwards. The Arab League still uses the Palestinians as #weapons against the Jewish people, but it's all changing now with the Abraham Accords, and the cold peace which Israel has had for decades with Egypt and Jordan.

  10.  @incogb6696 : I'm just repeating what devout Muslims tell me. Why does this make for an "obsession"?

  11. They say "there's no compulsion in Islam" yet the children of a Christian mother and Muslim father would be Muslim because in Islam the father's religion takes precedence. And in Muslim countries it's noted on your official ID so you can't get away from it. I wish you'd asked those guys who said they would marry a Christian woman "would you be happy if your children were also Christian?" I think they'd be horrified, as if you insult their manhood. Muslim men are known to practice 'love jihad' to marry Christian and Jewish women because that grows the numbers in Islam.
