[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My argument with modern Zionism i that it seeks to establish an *exclusively* Jewish state at the expense of all others. [/quote]

Do you have a problem with all the Muslim countries that have exclusively Muslim countries at the expense of all others, exepcially Jews? How about the Palestinians who murder their own for selling land to Jews or wanting peace with Israelis? Herein lies a double standard.[/quote]

yes! however if you look at historical patterns you find that this is a western backed pattern- there were no Muslim first countries in the world before, and nor are their any Muslim first countries comparable to Israel's Jewish first legal system.  they were always heterogeneous and no modern muslim state has the medieval systems of diimmi or whatever.  the United States has backed religious muslim fanatics and also pursued friendship with Saudi Arabia which is a state that erodes Muslim liberalism from the Caucasus to Malaysia.  Many muslims are incredibly upset at the US money and US arms that have been propping religious extremism- Ive already described this in the screed like comment I posted previously.  You also have to keep in mind that Israel worked very hard to make the jewish minorities feel uncomfortable and unwelcome in their erstwhile homes- the historical record shows that Israeli officials went so far as to bomb movie theaters in Iraq and blame the Iraqi jews in order to inflame anti Jewish sentiment.

Historically Muslims have not  suffered from ethnic obsessive hatred of their jewish peers, It was the Balfour declaration that started anti-jewish violence and it was not directed against Arab- jews, it was anti european jews and honestly where were european people living in the world that they werent hated and despised in the early 20th century?  Noone wanted white people- the Indians wanted them gone, mexicans, South America, Kenya, , Ghana, Nigeria, Burma, China never wanted them in the first place, why should Arabs have been any different just b/c these particular europeans were jews instead of christians- they still spoke German, French, polish and German -hebrew hybrid (Yiddish)  as their native languages and ate weird russian/germanic foods and wore weird clothes.  The Arab jews spoke arabic or Ladino, ate the same foods, wore the same clothing, conformed to similar social mores and norms, I'd like to point out that this was bad tine for a set of european emigres to move towards any non-settler colonial state b/c the colonized world was in its death throes.
