Fact: the UN - a creation of the victorious Western allies of WW2, in its wisdom, decided to create Israel out of Arab lands, at a time when indeed Islam was backward, in those lands.
Hence the origins of the conflict.
The Arab-Jew massacres since the collapse of the ottoman empire up to the creation of Israel show this conflict isn't about land.
This Arab-Jew problem has been going on for 1400 years.

Your analysis is flawed from the start,
1. the Ottoman empire only existed from the 15th century on.
2. Islam only existed from the 7th century - and conquered the Levant from the Byzantines at that time (when Israel had long ceased to exist).
3. Christians mounted Crusades against Muslim-controlled Jerusalem in the Middle Ages, but Moslems reasserted control, in the end.
Quote:Islamic imperialists have been killing Jews for 1,400 years.
Wrong; those Christians and Jews who submitted to Islam were pemitted to live.
Quote: That is the precedent Muhammad set with the Jewish tribes of Arabia.
Wrong again; only Jews who sided with the 'infidels' in Arabia were put to the sword. Islam recognized the Jewish OT Prophets.
Quote:Western observers must stop blaming #Israel for the atrocities of #Hamas. Their hatred of Jews is religious in nature, as their clerics openly admit.
Wrong again, Hamas is a reaction to the creation of Israel by the UN, and the failure of the UN to create the proposed Palestinian state.
Quote: Religious fanatics are everywhere; recall the police murders in Queensland, promoted by a US Christian nut-job.
Quote:Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

Nonsense, the Arab world has largely moved on from a literalist view of the Koran.
Quote:Pakistan was created around the same time as Israel because the Hindus and muslims were fighting. If you oppose creation of Israel then you must also oppose creation of Pakistan.
I'm with Gandhi, who opposed the partition of British India (and paid with his life, at the hands of a Hindu fanatic...). The teeming uneducated masses of India were not a fertile field for religious rationalism....
