You sure it wasn't the Arabs undermining the two party solution?

You know, since its been on the table no less than 5 times, and each time the Arabs have rejected it... Even when Israel voted for it.

Funny how literally every written record of history agrees the Jews are the people of Israel, but the Arabs don't.

Even the Quran calls the Jews the people of Israel, written more than 1000 years after the old testament.

Weird how they claim the Quran to be the infallible word of god, but don't think the people of Israel should be in Israel.

Why do people keep bringing this up as if it matters? Every piece of land has had someone living on it for the last 10,000 years, how does it matter that some group lived there in like 500 bce then a jewish tribe came in and then later some other tribe came in and so on.


Because it's literally the only Jewish land/state.

Think of how many Arab states exist.

Now think of how many Jewish states exist.

Israel is literally the only claim to land Jews have. Have you seen the size of Israel? It's not exactly gigantic


There's no mormon land/state, or sikh, or uygur or a dozen other religions. What makes this religion so special that they should be allowed to conquer another nation to take their land for their own?


I wonder how a mosque found itself sitting on temple mount.

Its almost as if the Muslims conquered Israel to take the land for their own.


Yes?

At some moment in time, the first human built a house there, then sometime later some other people showed up then sometime later the israeli tribe conquered the land then the romans conquered it and so on until some muslim tribe conquered it and then in 1950 or whenever the current people conquered it.

Which one of those groups is supposed to have some kind extra special entitlement to live there?

Not doubting you--I'm still learning about this conflict--but source?


The is one of the best - perhaps the best - examples of the “Gish Gallop” I have ever read.


Do you think what Israel is doing is right?
