Quote:The contemptible 'chosen people ' and 'promised land' mythology is as responsible for the failure to achieve a peace settlement as any Muslim fundamentalism.
The Muslims are ideologically committed to destroying Israel. But not vice versa. In fact, Israel has created a beacon of freedom and democracy in one of the most backwards and hostile places on earth. In doing so, they have granted local Arab Muslims, roughly 20% of their population, more rights and freedoms than in any other middle eastern or north african country. They would happily live side by side with free, democratic, prosperous Muslim-majority nations. But when those Muslims were given a vote, they voted for war.
That's why even Muslim leaders are now blaming Hamas for the ongoing conflict, not Israel.
NOT vice versa?
Bombing of civilians in Gaza
Killing of West Bank arabs and theft of their land?
How much of Israel is Arab land stolen from the inhabitants who were driven into the Gaza strip or elsewhere?
Even “Exodus” by Leon Uris, a propaganda tract for Israel, states Palestinians were driven or scared from their homes? Israel is a pirate state.
Zionism = fascism
I am part Jewish but I REALLY hate fascism and that is what I see in action in Gaza AND the West Bank!
I have nothing but admiration for a people kicked out of their land by the Romans who kept their identity and faith for 2000 years. I like stiff-necked bastards, admire them!
