Jews are people of the book and are not forbidden from living in the Middle East. They made great contributions to human civilization during the Golden Age of Islam when the Caliphate resided in Baghdad. Jews and Arabs are brothers, sons of Abraham.

This hate and mass stupidity is a fairly recent event.

While were on stupid ideas, maybe we could just give the entire Middle East back to the Turks, have a new Sultan and be done with it.

It takes far more heart, honor and courage to resist non violently than with violence.

The South Africans and the Indians were oppressed and persecuted, but peace brought them out of oppression.

The Palestinians can do what they have done. All they need is real leadership.

This isn't about being sheep or being silent. It is far from cowardice. It is the most honorable and virtuous thing to do. Real martyrdom comes not from death in battle but sacrificing one's life in peaceful resistance.

The Christians brought down the most powerful empire, the Roman Empire, on the face of the earth over 1500 years ago. Not by the sword but through peaceful resistance and martyrdom.

The Palestinian people can follow history's examples and with determined will they will have the liberty they seek.

The path of violence will only lead to more violence.

That path must be abandoned.

I don't hate people but evil ideas and what people do. Hate the sin not the sinner.

As for the Palestinians, it is their prerogative to despise Israel and everything it stands for.

You are correct about the Islamic caliphate, Jews were protected subjects and those Jews that were purged out of Europe were given sanctuary. Glad to see a zionist admit this.

This hate you speak of is new and a product of Israel. That is why all this is not about anti Judaism but is about anti Israel.

The idea of the pathological hatred of Jews is a European concept born of the crucifixion of Jesus by the Pharisees and completely alien to the Arab mind. Nevertheless, zionist throw about this allegation for their advantage with Western audiences.

Arabs and Muslims couldn't give a toss about someone being a Jew. It does not matter and it is irrelevant. Only because the biggest pushers of Jew hatred are Jews that this has entered discourse amongst supporters of Palestinian patriotism in the Middle East.

If most Palestinians are not to blame, why do they not take matters into their own hands and stop the insanity they bring on themselves? They are their own worst enemy. They bring all the suffering on themselves.



Why should Palestinians cut their noses to spite their faces. Odd that you think Palestinians should do Israel's job. It is real chutzpah and a liberty that you expect that they should stop their defenders.

Bizarre, narrow minded and narcissistic.

You can forget about the Iranians and lay the blame on the Palestinians. They are the puppeteers behind the scenes. Sometimes I wish Tehran and Washington would leave the Holy Land out of their games. Iraq is a big enough playing field for these ambitious powers surely?

Amen to that, Palestinian's have been at Israel for centuries. They've used nothing but ammunition and explosive's to try and deal with Israel. You wonder why Israel attacks back; well they've tried repeatedly to talk things out with the Palestinian's but the Palestinian's won't listen. They have a burning hatred for the Jew's.

Sure they ceasefire when asked to, but it's for show; they do it to try and make themselves not look like the bad guys. Every attack Israel has launched on Palestine has been in retaliation to some sort of hostility coming from that country.

You guys say that Israel kill's innocent civilians, so does Palestine. So does the US, and The EU, and Canada. Anyone who is engaged in war hurts civilians, its the reality of things.

You make it seem like it is a fair fight. The Palestinians are the smaller party and got dragged into this mess. The lived there until these strange Europeans landed on the shores in huge numbers by the ship load.

The rest of the Middle East uses the Palestinians as pawns. They hate Israel and will use any one too help destroy Israel.

They do use the Palestinians as pawns. First among them Iran. Iran sees itself as the friend of the Palestinian. Not sure if this is so good for Iran and the Palestinian. If Israel has enough of Iran and its nuclear game what will happen in Gaza? Big question for Palestinians.

What have the Palestinians tried so far? Outright war, intifada, suicide bombings, rocket launchings, etc. What have they not tried so far? Complete cessation of violence by all Palestinian groups and a meaningful dialogue with the Israelis. If Palestine truly wishes to survive, they will have to make some basic concessions to the Israelis. That is the sad truth - the underdog simply will not get everything that they want.


But I thought that is what they originally did and in the mean while, immigrants, settlers and the Israeli occupation forces moved in and decanted them from their villages and towns.

I think you are putting the the cart before the horse. In action by the Palestinians means loss of their homes so why should they quietly go?


GamerGal

As for being pawns, not true but what of it if it serves their interests? Your concerns over Palestinian abuse is disingenuous.
