Not all are Jewish? |
That’s a false assumption. They hate us because we blindly support Israel and they believe Israel massacres Palestinians . They wouldn’t even immigrate to the US or Europe if we just left them alone and didn’t cause wars . They were perfectly fine in their region of the world and they were actually the peaceful region during WW1 and WW2 . Once a certain country was formed there, the region went haywire over loyalty for the Palestinian deaths |

Ok, fair enough. My apologies. |
Egypt and Jordan said straight out they will not take in Palestinians. Did you not know about that, or do you just want to speculate about what Israel would do, like you are deciding on which move to make in a video game? |
No, it’s pretty true, actually. It’s membership is mostly non-Jews, and they have Jewish in their title to excuse some of the antisemitic nature of some of the rhetoric used by its members. I don’t like like AIPAC because they skew Republican, but think of JVP as the flip side of AIPAC - there is a place whether the radical right and the radical left meet. |
This. Our one sided, heavy handed policy in the ME has led to complete disaster. The 20 year Iraq-Afg war accomplished nothing. The two countries are still in complete shambles and the Taliban is in power. We sank billions and, more importantly, lost thousands of Iraqi, Afghan, and US lives. Iran? Iranians overthrew the Shah and installed a Swiss educated lawyer, political, and writer who wanted to take their oil fields back. Not unreasonable given the US/UK were essentially stealing resources from an impoverished country. We staged a coups, removed Mosaddegh and put the widely unpopular Shah back in so he could continue to starve people while playing the role of Marie Antoinette. People got ANGRY and then came the revolution - which was FAR worse than anything Mosaddegh would've brought. And then we sheltered the Shah and we've had terrible relations with Iran ever since. And the same scenario plays out in every ME country. We support Israel and their - let's face it - serious mistreatment of the Palestinian peoples which only breeds resentment and hate. The environments that our policies have fostered in the ME have been disastrous. And we haven't learned. I did appreciate Obama trying to call out Israel for its HR violations, stop illegal settlements, etc. And boy did they turn on us quickly. They are not as strong of an ally as they like to pretend. As long as we support them 100% and keep sending money, they'll keep up the rouse but it is fragile. Israel is poorly placed in the region. I'm not going to argue rights to exist. It does exist, and it fits unnaturally in the ME. It will spend the next 200 years at war with its larger and more populous neighbors if policy does not change. |
They were massacring Jews in that part of the world long before Israel. I get you don’t like Jews, but rewriting history doesn’t really help your argument. |
Let me guess, you're a "queers for Palestine" type who thinks that if Israel just ceased to exist the whole world would get along. |
Oh my God. I never said Israel should cease to exist but as a tax payer I have a right to criticize where my taxes are being spent and I don’t want it being spent on indiscriminately bombing and traumatizing civilians whether it’s in Palestine, Iraq, or Afghanistan . That doesn’t make me a terror or Hamas sympathiser. It makes me a human being with a heart and a conscience for anyone especially children that die. |
And Jews were massacring Palestinians in 1948 not even five years after the Holocaust. The accusation of anti semitism is trite and is always the defense mechanism for AIPAC stalwarts -even against other Jews. |
People like you actually make me, a Jew, fantasize about us being wiped off the planet, just to imagine the moment when you realize how f--cked you are that you got what you wished for. |
Hamas was called out by Fatah as being a terrorist organization in 2007.
Urged Gaza residents to overthrow Hamas as they were terrorizing Gaza residents back then. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2007/nov/16/israel |
