thanks for the lecture, now please deny or agree with what I have posted, so far all you offer is "well, they aren't the only ones that hate the Jews"

I understand that, they are however, the only ones threatening and action upon threats for the destruction of Israel

I take two views on this war.

i.) We should not be overzealous with our hate for Israel considering they're merely defending themselves against repeated rocket attacks from Hamas that are deliberately targeting Jews. I can understand that their need to try and stop these actions but I do, however, disagree with the way they have done this. By equating the force displayed by Hamas would have been bad enough but with bombing missions and ground troops re-entering Gaza, Israel have gone too far. This in itself will re-introduce hatred from Palestinians who constantly need to find reasons to support the right wing parties who's objective is to wipe Israel off the planet. Similarly, it has given other Arab countries more reason to hate Jews because of the unfair battle that is now being fought with ground troops on Palestinian land.

ii.) I'm not the slightest bit anti-Semitic but I can, to a degree, understand why the Palestinians hate Israeli's so much. The amount of oppression that they have been subjected to through; occupation, road blocks, fortified walls, constant bombings throughout the years, force through tanks and troops,....bla bla, will understandably initiate some kind of right-wing hatred towards the Jews. I also find it quite demoralizing for the Palestinians that America, the "democratic superpower of the West" supports Israel, supplies them with funds to support their army yet and by doing so doesn't at all stand for democracy in the ME. It seems completely contradictory to me. I do obv, understand why America are such staunch supporters of Israel due to the massive Jewish population in America with money and power (which btw, helps support the stereotype) but how the hell is any settlement going to arise while this situation exists. Palestine aren't going to accept constantly being the underdog especially when they feel that the land was stolen from them.

Because to get their stolen country back Israel needs to be destroyed.

Its that simple lowing, they aren't rabid anti-semites wandering the world looking for jews to kill, they want their country back and if that means killing the people who stole it thats fine with them, same as you're comfortable with killing someone stealing your neighbours tv.

The fact that the people who stole their country are jews is no doubt irrelevant to them, they would fight them if they were christians, mormons or aliens from the planet zog.
Fuck Israel

So you understand that everyone hates, and wants to kill the Jews so they rocket them, and you further understand that any retaliation of those attacks by the Jews breeds hatred for them?

Yeah, actually I agree with your assessment, but am I the only one here that understands what kind of a no win situation this puts Israel in?

I guess you hit on the root reason as to why I sympathize with Israel.

I'm just trying to be slightly objective. America and Israel would argue the opposite.

I understand that to a degree but at the same time you have to remember that the majority of people will support the underdog. From past events, some of the hate displayed by Arabs is, imo, fully justifiable. From the amount of repression that Palestinians have felt at the hands of Israel I'm not surprised. For example, take what happened yesterday where the Israeli army shot and killed over 20 people hiding out in UN run schools that had been turned into evacuation centres. Israel are far too trigger happy...it seems they don't give a shit whether they kill civilians or freedom fighters(I'm sorry I had to). Situations like this perfectly illustrate, in my mind, why there is so much hatred towards the Jews. It's not fully unjustifiable tbh. Stemming from this, any retaliation is usually 10 times harder than what the Palestinians dish out. Israel is considered a developed country more or less? yes. Do we expect this kind of retaliation from a developed country who should set an example rather than mercilessly killing civilians in chases of Hamas leaders? Fuck no. Again, this is where the hate stems from and if you can't see this then maybe you need to re-evaluate the facts.

From what I can see here.
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jso … tihit.html
The mufti of Jerusalem simply didn't want Palestine taken over by the zionists.
The zionists had been agitating for Palestine to be given to them since 1919 at least, the Palestinians didn't want their country stolen from them, seems logical to ally themselves with the Germans.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amin_al-Husayni
Mohammad Amin al-Husayni (Arabic: محمد أمين الحسيني‎, properly transliterated al-Husseini,[1] 1895/1897 - July 4, 1974), a member of the al-Husayni clan of Jerusalem, was a Palestinian Arab nationalist and Muslim leader in the British Mandate of Palestine. From 1921 to 1948, he was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and played a key role in opposition to Zionism.

As early as 1920, he was active in both opposing the British in order to secure the independence of Palestine as an Arab State and opposing Jewish immigration and the establishment of their National home in Palestine. His oppositional role peaked during the 1936-1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. In 1937, wanted by the British, he fled Palestine and took refuge successively in Lebanon, Iraq, Italy and finally Nazi Germany where he met Adolf Hitler in 1941. He asked Germany to oppose, as part of the Arab struggle for independence, the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine. During the 1948 Palestine War he represented the Arab Higher Committee and opposed both to the 1947 UN Partition Plan and to King Abdullah's ambitions for expanding Jordan by capturing Palestinian territory.

After the 1948 Palestine War and Palestinian exodus, his claims to leadership were devastated and, quickly sidelined successively by the Arab Nationalist Movement and the Palestine Liberation Organization, he lost most of his remaining political influence.[2] Al-Husayni died in Beirut, Lebanon in 1974.

Historians debate to what extent his fierce opposition to Zionism was grounded in nationalism or antisemitism or a combination of both.
So its not thousands of years of anti-semitism, just a reaction to the actions of the jews themselves in attempting to steal what belongs to someone else.

Since the ME is comprised of 99.9% Arab and Islamic countries and .1% Israel. What I see is ANY land or existance by the Jews is too much. Hence no negotiation. THis hardly makes Israel the underdog as a nation seeking to merely exist.

As far as the retaliations go. I am wondering why Israel is the only country in history being condemned for trying to win a war it is engaged in.

No one before has ever been condemned for hitting back harder than they they were hit. Not sure, sounds like there is a lesson in there for those that want to start shit.

Its more complex than your simplistic one-sided view, its been tit-for-tat for 60 years, you can't argue its always the Palestinians provoking and Israel responding.

Not really.  Israel has consistently negotiated for peace, even to the point of giving up land which they now receive rocket fire from.  Hamas members have directly stated they view a cease fire as a re-arming period.  Hence the failure of this process and the need to wipe out Hamas.

Most armies would have the common sense to check before destroying every single civilian in sight.

Imagine if the Norwegian army had randomly splattered shells and bullets into a swedish hospital believed to house terrorists who want to destory Norway. That would just be rediculous. It's against the law ffs.

Israel have America on their side...my ass should they be considered the underdogs.

A war it is engaged in as a result of stealing land...not very justifiable at all.

One thing is for sure-this debate will forever remain tit for tat considering the entire history of the conflict is tit for tat.

Sorry, the Jews didn't pull a gun on anyone. The UN created Israel not the Jews. The UN also created a 2 state solution only problem is the no one else wanted it
