Is Israeli society addicted to war?
Apr 12th, 2026 at 11:29pm
 
This edition of Al Jazeera Inside Story was so fascinating. I really enjoyed watching it and the panelists responses.

Especially Gideon Levy, who is an Israeli who said "Israelis are ADDICTED to wars".

Essentially, they all agree Israel is in a permanent state of war and that it'll be its undoing.





Has Israeli society become conditioned to permanent war?


12 April 2026

AL JAZEERA

A negative political and public reaction in Israel to the ceasefire with Iran, despite the respite it brings. No pause for Israel's army, however, or its victims. Hundreds have been killed in Lebanon, with more dead in Gaza. Is Israel a society effectively on a permanent war footing?

The Muslim-Jew problem is a religious war that has been going on for 1400 years.

I can't see it ending anytime soon muslims have a religious duty to slaughter the jews.

Islamic imperialists have been killing Jews for 1,400 years. That is the precedent Muhammad set with the Jewish tribes of Arabia. Western observers must stop blaming #Israel for the atrocities of #Hamas. Their hatred of Jews is religious in nature, as their clerics openly admit.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

The Muslim(Arab)-Jew problem is a religio-ethnic war that has been going on since the mid-20th century.

It is predicated on Ze'ev Jabotinsky's version of Zionism, which he outlined in his 'The Iron Wall' in the early 1920s.

Since the mid-20th century, Arabs believed they had a duty to resist by any means possible the perceived invasion by foreigners (largely European Jews) of Palestine, which Arabs believe had been taken from them by foreign invaders.

Historically, for most of the last 2000 years, it has been European Christians who believed they had a religious duty to persecute and slaughter the jews.

Muslims want a global Ummah, the entire world to submit to Islam or be killed.
Muslims come to the West and demand that the locals assimilate to them. They want to plant the black flag of Islam everywhere. They fly plans into buildings, drive cars into crowds, bomb and machine gun concerts, theatres and schools, trains, buses, picnics for Allah and Islam all over the world.
Even you would have noticed it.

YES, they are.

Proof ?

1,400 years of history.





The ISLAMISTS are fighting a propaganda war [i.e. a verbal/communication war.....based in lies and misconceptions].

The propaganda war....
It is a tactic...to enable the ISLAMISTS to weaken the resolve....of those whom the ISLAMISTS are assailed against.

The ISLAMISTS have been fighting this very same propaganda war, for 1,400 years.

[i.e. the ISLAMISTS do have a successful 'play book'.
TO WIN, all the ISLAMISTS must do....is follow the learned principles,
of their own WARFARE 'PLAY BOOK'.
]


It is a propaganda war which involves....sophistry and blatant deceit.

And......if you [a secular 'tribe'] choose-to be 'overcome' by the sofistry and the blatant deceit of the ISLAMISTS,
it will be, because you choose to attribute fairness to your enemy [the ISLAMISTS].

And, in the end, the secular 'tribe' will get tired, of this constant 'friction'.....and say;
'What is the point of fighting an enemy, who is virtuous and fair ?'


That is, and has been the battle strategy of the ISLAMISTS for 1,400 years.

And ISLAMISTS in those 1,400 years, have defeated many enemies,
and then overwhelmed them.

And........only after the secular 'tribe' have been defeated.....do the secular 'tribe' come to realise,
that when the ISLAMISTS said 'We want peace, and fairness'.......
what the ISLAMISTS really meant was.......
that PEACE [and justice], comes only from submission to ISLAM....and submission to ISLAMIC law.......


Dictionary,
sophistry = = the use of fallacious arguments, especially to deceive.

ISLAM, moslems, define 'peace' as submission to ISLAM.

Iran's Regime Is Not Iran:
The War the West Refuses to Understand


by Pierre Rehov
April 19, 2026

One of the most persistent and dangerous misreadings of the confrontation with Iran is the stubborn confusion between a brutal ideological regime and the people it has oppressed for nearly five decades.



.....In January 2026, the Iranian regime launched one of the deadliest crackdowns in its modern history, with protests met by a "shoot-to-kill" order "by any means necessary," issued by the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on January 9.

       [Recently 10,000's of Iranian citizens....were slaughtered
because they   OPENLY   challenged the legitimacy of ISLAMIC authority, inside Iran - YADDA.......]
Estimates vary, but internal health data and independent investigations suggest that between 30,000 and 36,500 protesters were killed in just two days, and tens of thousands more wounded or arrested in January alone.

The idea that Iran's beleaguered people will suddenly, somehow, with no weapons whatsoever, magically rise up and take back their country from a regime armed to the teeth and
with a rich record of mass-murder
is beyond delusional.
The result would be equivalent to the Warsaw Ghetto, whose last few hundred inhabitants tried to take on the German army, or the US resistance at the Alamo: heroic but predictably headed to defeat.

.......
The worst result would be for the Trump Administration to throw Iran's desperate citizens from a ruthless clerical frying pan into a ruthless militaristic fire.
The brutality would be the same, just secular instead of religious -- a predatory system whose power rests on projecting strength at home while playing the victim abroad.

The Iranian people have shown repeatedly that they do not identify with the rulers who claim to speak for them.


This is a population held hostage, not a nation united behind its regime.



Western critics who call a military approach – even one that has offered the regime many off-ramps – reckless should answer a simple question: what is the alternative?
More rounds of negotiations with a regime that has violated every agreement it ever signed?
Passive acceptance while thousands more Iranians are jailed, tortured, or executed?
Moral grandstanding without consequences?
That is not a policy — it is abdication.

"Iran is a 47-year-old war crime." — US Senator John Fetterman (D-PA).

The real Iran — the one that protests, resists, and yearns for normal life — has been the victim of a war its leaders have waged on it for decades.

The real tragedy would be to prolong any part of it.

Until this strategic distinction is understood, debates about Iran will remain trapped in the same sterile cycle of confusion and fear — the very environment in which the West has enabled the regime not only to thrive, but to prevail.

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/22452/understanding-iran-regime

[the whole article is just a click away.]



When will secularists, in this world, in 2026, come to accept......that we [secularists] cannot reason with an ISLAMIST.

Why so ?

Because.....it is not ISLAMICALLY LAWFUL for a devout ISLAMIST, to construct and agree to,
any arrangement,
where a devout ISLAMIST agrees to permanently cede [civil] 'authority',
to a [majority supported] secular [and un-ISLAMIC] political authority.

That circumstance....is always.....HARAM.



+++


[FROM MY ARCHIVE....]
ISLAM REJECTS SHARING POLITICAL AUTHORITY,
WITH ANY un-ISLAMIC POLITICAL AUTHORITY


Jahiliyya = = the un-ISLAMIC lifestyle, e.g. a society which embraces political pluralism.




Quote:

"THE RIGHT TO JUDGE"
"It is not the function of Islam to compromise
with the concepts of Jahiliyya which are current in the world
or to co-exist
in the same land together with a jahili system........"



SAYYID QUTB - ISLAMIC scholar
http://www.islamworld.net/justice.html

or, WWW search;
"THE RIGHT TO JUDGE" SAYYID QUTB



i.e.
"The 'Jahiliyya' lifestyle is totally incompatible with ISLAM."

And in fact, to devout moslems, the mere existence of non-moslem communities/states
is viewed as insulting to the authority of Allah.
...because you see, ISLAMIC religious doctrine.....teaches, that moslems 'deserve' to have 'authority', to rule the whole world.....for Allah.



Jahiliyya is a result of the lack of Sharia [ISLAMIC Law]...

Quote:

"....Jahiliyya is a result of the lack of Sharia law, without which Islam cannot exist;"
"...true Islam is a complete system with no room for any element of Jahiliyya"
"...all aspects of Jahiliyya...are "evil and corrupt" "

The Israeli people are just as sick of war as anyone else would be in that situation, except the Muslims perhaps. They are addicted to war. Israel has had war thrust upon it at every step, a lot of it funded by Iran. They were probably hoping they could put a stop to that.

Remember Abu Rashid? An Aussie Muslim convert here on our forum. He had no personal link to or interest in Israel. But he was in favour of ongoing war with Israel, even if Muslims lose every single one of them. He was motivated by Islam to support ongoing war, the primary result of which is the suffering of Muslims. That is what addiction to war looks like.

Israel is condemned to war all the time, of its own making.

Its mission to build greater Israel requires that it must capture more territory and expel or harass out the majority of its non-Jewish population, including Muslims and Christians.

The last Israeli PM who advocated territory-surrender for peace was assassinated by a Jew.

Both Israel and the Iranians have an Armageddon feel to them.

Israel celebrates as hero's the Israelis who died to the last man defending some castle against the Romans or the Muslims, I forget which.

And the Iranian leadership have a definite flavour of going out in a blaze of glory.

Donny himself gives me the vibe that he would rather go out in a cataclysmic event then drooling ice cream in a nursing home like Joe.

All in all, these forces of destruction are very attracted to each other.

Just like some angry people are always getting into fights.

It's all about the vibes.

Donny is probably going to decide if the war goes full beast mode.

Ironic that the future safety and comfort of billions of entitled chodes rests with the big fella.

They are powerless to stop him ending their entitlement.

And still they think they are so smart making fun of him

I find their naivety breath takingly ignorant  Wink

Israel only ever hands back territory on the orders of its arbiter overlord - the US.

In 1956, when Israel joined a military adventure with Britain and France, its expected prize was the Sinai. When the Eisenhower administration ordered all three to hand back Egyptian territory, they all bent the knee and submitted.

Israel's seizure of the Sinai,
came as a result of the 1967, SIX DAY WAR.

YES, they are.

Proof ?

He [this opinion] is correct [in the YT below].


But few members of the political class, within Western nations, are willing to accept his argument or listen to his sound reasoning.



Why so ?

Because accepting this information [accepting this premise, about a deceitful and malevolent ISLAM] would be,
antithetical to almost all of the political agendas....which of ALL of those 'liberal' and WOKE politicians have embraced.

antithetical = = mutually incompatible.


And i say........God damn them all.   [......they altogether, absolutely,
refuse to embrace what is true.]

ISLAMIC oppression of [and warfare against] 'the infidel'.....is HOLY, its SUPPORT is mandatory [for every follower of ISLAM],
and warfare against 'the infidel', is sanctioned and encouraged by Allah, in the HOLY Koran.....

Promoting and encouraging violent and unlawful acts is illegal.

We live in a country in which the people supposedly respect the rule of law.

Without widespread respect for the law of the land, we [our Australian society] would descend into being like Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Somalia, etc, etc - which is exactly what moslems are trying to achieve.

Moslems want to destroy the efficacy of all [non-ISLAMIC] civic institutions in Australia, which help to maintain a peaceful and functioning society.


SUGGESTION;
If you live in Australia and you don't like what ISLAM promotes then you should contact your federal parliamentary representative - EXPLAIN TO HIM/HER WHY YOU DO NOT LIKE ISLAM AND MOSLEMS - and encourage your federal parliamentary representative to try to get ISLAM lawfully declared a proscribed [banned] group in Australia.

Act within the law.


Otherwise we are no better than moslems.

Israel returned the whole Sinai to Egypt [in 1982],

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_occupation_of_the_Sinai_Peninsula




The Sinai Peninsula was militarily occupied by Israel twice since the beginning of the Arab–Israeli conflict: the first occupation lasted from October 1956 to March 1957, when Israeli troops withdrew from Egypt due to US international pressure.

After the 1967 capture of the Sinai, the US applied diplomatic pressure for Israel to enter peace negotiations with Egypt and to offer the Sinai in return. The Carter administration intensified that pressure and brokered the peace deal, which resulted in the Sinai's return to Egypt and a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.

So Israel has been attacked multiple times by multiple Muslim countries, for no other reason that they are Jewish. It has won every single time. And every single time, it has handed back all the territory, remaining a very small nation. Yet someone in the minds of the Jew haters, this becomes an even more sinister Jewish conspiracy to take over the world.

On the one hand we have frothing-at-the-mouth Muslim extremists who openly admit they hate Jews and want to wipe out Israel, and want the war to continue, no matter how absurd their losses. On the other hand we have democratic, free Israel, with a population that is tired of war and tired of being attacked, that is still a tiny little outpost of freedom and democracy in one of the most backwards and oppressive places on earth. But still it is the cunning, scheming Jews that are the problem.

I'm impressed by your capacity to hold your ludicrous views, despite having been schooled via historical facts, and your self-flattery that you follow the evidence.

The Muslim incentive to attack Israel and Jews is because Jews (read Zionists) are considered invaders... It was Europeans who, historically and over multiple centuries, persecuted and murdered Jews en masse for being Jews, and this is the primary reason for the mass exodus of European Jews to Palestine/ Israel.

When Israel embarked on a military adventure in 1956 with Britain and France, it captured the Sinai Peninsula, which it handed back on the orders of the US.

Israel has won all wars waged against it with the crucial assistance of the US since at least 1967.

Israel returns territory only on the insistence of the US. It has not handed back significant portions of the territory it captured in 1967, nor East Jerusalem, nor the Golan Heights.

It's because they are considered Jews, and Muslims believe the land is "owned" by Islam and must therefor be ruled by Islam. Most of them are either locals or were forced out of neighbouring Muslim countries. It is not the "invasion" they have a problem with, but their lack of submission to Islam. You are projecting your own views onto this, but you only need to listen to what Muslims say.

We had Muslim converts right here on this forum, with absolutely no historical attachment to the region, who insisted the war against Israel must continue, regardless of the cost, because Allah has ordained inevitable victory over non-Muslims. Not just in Israel, but in Spain which is also "owned" by Islam. This has nothing to do with who invaded what. The Spanish are no more invaders in Spain than the Jews are in Israel. It is the historical Muslim conquest that justifies conquest. It is all about religion. If Israel had come into existence without a single Jew immigrating to the area, the Muslims would still be frothing at the mouth with fury over the insult to their religion.

The Muslims are addicted to war, because they believe that war and victory are ordained for them by Allah. The Israelis have established a liberal democracy in one of the most backwards and oppressive places on earth. Despite being attacked multiple times and winning every time, they handed back the massive territory they won. Because they are not addicted to war.

I have never heard a Muslim complain about the Jews invading, but if that is what you actually heard, you misunderstood and thought the invasion bit was the problem. It isn't. It is the Jewish part. Muslims have been fighting each other ever since Muhammad died. Pretty much every nation and every border in the Muslim world was created by the west. Muslims don't care, because Muslims are in charge. When one of these nations invades the other, Muslims in the rest of the world don't care, unless one is Shite and one is Sunni. Muslims have actually been assisting the invasion of Muslim lands by non-Muslims for the entire history of Islam, in the form of the Islamic slave trade. Again, they don't care, because it is ordained by Islam, governed by Islam and dominated by Islam, and they get to pretty much forcibly convert the slaves to Islam.

At least, they don't care as much as they do about Israel. But when ISIS promised to re-establish the Caliphate and slaughtered their way across the middle east, Muslims from around the world leant their support, the same way they do in the effort to slaughter Jews. Not because they were fighting off an invasion, but because they were fighting for Islamic rule. It is not enough to have Muslims in charge, it has to be a proper Islamic state.

You do not understand this, so you project your own western view in order to come up with an explanation that you do understand. Stop expecting their actions to make sense to you. They only have to make sense to Islam, because Islam is what motivates them.

Another good example of your ability to resist schooling with historical facts and evidence.

About 25% of Israelis are estimated to be descended from locals or exiles from neighbouring Middle Eastern countries before 1948.

Israel's independence declaration in 1948, and the ethnic cleansing by Zionist militants of Arabs immediately before that, were the impetus for Jewish expulsion from neighbouring Middle Eastern countries.

If you're going to refer to Islamic religious tradition, you need to include Jewish religious tradition, which has Yahweh commanding the same thing.

Your lack of awareness of ancient religious traditions, which has the gods warring among each other and having their dominance proved by their human followers, is obvious.

On handing back territory, Israel returns territory only on the insistence of the US. It has not handed back significant portions of the territory it captured in 1967, nor East Jerusalem, nor the Golan Heights.

When Israel embarked on a military adventure in 1956 with Britain and France, it captured the Sinai Peninsula for the first time, which it handed back a few months later on the orders of the US.

After the 1967 capture of the Sinai, it was the US, not Israel, that crafted the peace negotiations with Egypt, with Sinai on the table.

Now you are just demonstrating your gullibility. Nearly half the Jewish population comes from the Muslim heartland - Israel, the middle east and north Africa. Plus, 20 to 25% of Israel's population is Arab Muslim. And so what? Even the "outsiders" have been there for generations, are of mixed parentage, and have no links back to wherever their ancestors came from. No-one, not even the Muslims, want to send the "invaders" back, because they don't want the Jews to go back to the middle eastern and north african countries they came from. They want to kill them. They have ethnically cleansed the rest of the middle east and north Africa of Jews, and now they want to finish he job.

Muslims do not froth at the mouth over the 1/3 or so of Israel's population that are "outsiders". They froth at the mouth because they are Jewish and are not being ruled by Islam, and are on land that is "owned" by Islam. That is why Aussie Muslim converts with absolutely no real link to the conflict want the war and death to continue - they are motivated by religion to believe that a glorious Muslim victory is both necessary and inevitable.

Israel is a sovereign nation and can have whatever immigration policy it wants. You are projecting your invasion crap onto Muslims, because you cannot understand, or do not want to accept, what Muslims actually say and what Muslims believe.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

That was pure luck. Muslims just weren't focusing as much as they should've been. Internal struggles within the Umayyad and later Ottoman societies diverted their attention from Europe. They took large swathes of it though, and will do so again, insha'allah.

Your inclusion of North Africa is your hedge... the countries of which are not neighbouring countries.

Morocco is a good example of Jewish migration from North Africa. Very large numbers of Moroccan Jews migrated to Israel between 1948 and 1971... so after the creation of Israel.

The next task in your educational progress: You need to come to terms with the fact that at least 75% of Jewish migration from the Middle East and North Africa to Palestine/Israel occurred after Israel declared independence.

It is one thing to sign a peace treaty, another thing to surrender. We have seen what happens to those who made the mistake of surrender.

History shows us that many wars have looked lost before they swung the other way. The USSR looked lost in 1941 when the Nazis were on the outskirts of Moscow. Just over three years later Soviet troops had captured Berlin.

It looked like the merciless Crusaders were firmly entrenched in the Palestine when Saladin became leader of Egypt in 1167. 20 years later Saladin had managed to unify the muslims in the region and expel the Christian invaders from Jerusalem. The Crusader occuaption of jerusalem last for 99 years. The Balfour Zionist occupation of Jerusalem has lasted 94 years.

In recent years Muslim have freed Sinai, Gaza and southern Lebanon from the Zionist occupation.

Since 2000 muslims have managed to force Israel to withdraw from Gaza and southern Lebanon. Full victory is just around the corner by the Grace of God Almighty.

Well, that was a quick regression! You're bask to "Most" from "Nearly half"...

It's not hard to research these figures. Pre-1948 Jewish migration to Palestine from Middle Eastern countries is estimated st about 25%.

How about you think about this... why would Jews residing in Middle Eastern Muslim regions migrate to pre-1948 Palestine, another Muslim region, before they could be confident of protection by the ruling state?

Before 1948, the UN's support for Jewish enclaves was not assured.

US and European backing for them was not assured.

Convincing militant Zionist victories over Arabs in Palestine had not been achieved.

Israel did not yet exist.

The region was exploding in violence, the outcome of which was unknown.

You need to research what you're talking about before you post.

In 1948, after Israel declared independence and after its pre-independence ethnic cleansing of the region in 1947, the region exploded into the Arab-Jewish war. Its Jewish inhabitants were mostly European Jews, having survived the Holocaust - the last European persecution of Jews.

Israel did not fully establish itself as a functioning state with enacted migration laws until 1950.

Throwing in the 80% is your latest deflection. That was, of course, not the case in 1948... Naturally, decades later, the vast majority of Jews living in the region were born in what is now Israel.

I'm not asking Israelis to go anywhere... I'm stating the facts as they were at Israel's beginnings and the few decades before that, which is where you will find the root causes of the current and ongoing conflict.

The root cause is Islam. It has 1400 years of history, all telling the same story.

Islam is why they hate Jews. Islam is why they want to destroy Israel. No other explanation is necessary. It would make absolutely no difference what the history was. Even if 100% of the Jews in Israel were local born and could trace their ancestry in Israel back to Adam and Eve, Muslims would still want to kill them. Because they are Jews.

The opinions of whoever these posters were is your evidence?

Descent from Middle Eastern/West Asian countries, excluding North Africa, is about 20-25% of Jewish Israelis.

The vast majority of Jews migrating into Palestine pre-1948 and soon after were from western and eastern Europe, with others from the US.

European Jews had lost everything and nothing to lose... Middle Eastern Jews had everything to lose before 1948.

As an exercise and as research for you extends only to other posters on this site, use your 'common sense' approach, but apply honesty as a novelty for you, to consider this.

Why would Jews residing in Middle Eastern Muslim regions migrate to pre-1948 Palestine, another Muslim region, before they could be confident of protection by the ruling state?

Before 1948, the UN's support for Jewish enclaves was not assured.

US and European backing for them was not assured.

Convincing militant Zionist victories over Arabs in Palestine had not been achieved.

Israel did not yet exist.

The region was exploding in violence, the outcome of which was unknown.

Would you have moved your family from relative peace and from a people you at least knew into a dangerous war zone?

European Jews had lost everything and nothing to lose... Middle Eastern Jews had everything to lose before 1948.

Add to that the fact that British Mandate forces were actively, and even violently, discouraging Jewish migration into Palestine.

The only Jews determined to migrate to Israel during this period were European Jews who were being ferried by militant Zionists from European ports by their tens of thousands, having lost everything, most having lost their entire families, let alone everything they owned.

The two primary factors that ultimately ensured Israel would exist as a UN-recognised state were (a) the masterful efforts of Australia's Herbert Vere 'Doc' Evatt, who skillfully manoeuvred the UN members of the UN Special Committee on Palestine and the Truman administration towards supporting partition - even though at the time partition was the weaker proposition, and (b) collective European guilt over the causes of the Holocaust.

But the creation of greater Israel, that includes the formal and recognised inclusion of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and perhaps some of the Sinai, Jordan and Lebanon, requires war.

If they're not addicted to it, by pursuing the greater Israel cause, they're definitely condemning themselves and the region to it.

Also, given the idea of greater Israel has a world religious component to it, maybe Israel would be condemning us all to it.

Similar to the Indians, Chinese or Southeast Asians, Arabs are not a unified people with a single socio-cultural origin; they are tribal and have lived within their tribal regions across the Middle East for millennia. The idea that they could migrate to regions not associated with their direct socio-cultural roots is ludicrous.

No, but, like the Arabs, they are not socio-culturally or religiously united. As neither are Africans nor Europeans, for that matter.

Throwing in the 80% is your latest deflection.


It is an effort to get you to make a point. What is your point Meister?

If they were not Jews, would you and all your fellow deluded Jew haters be insisting that a country having it's own immigration policy is some kind of crime against humanity?

I have given you examples of Aussie Muslim converts right here in this forum, supporting ongoing war, because the glorious Muslim victory over the Jews is necessary and inevitable. On the other hand Israel has created a beacon freedom and democracy in one of the most backwards and oppressive places on earth. After being slaughtered in Europe and ethnically cleansed from the middle east and north africa, they now give the large Arab Muslim population of Israel more rights and freedoms, and more say in the governance of the country, than in any other middle eastern or north african country. So which group do you think is actually addicted to war?

The opinions of whoever these posters were is your evidence?

Descent from Middle Eastern/West Asian countries, excluding North Africa, is about 20-25% of Jewish Israelis.

The vast majority of Jews migrating into Palestine pre-1948 and soon after were from western and eastern Europe, with others from the US.


Sure. Muslims stating clearly that they are motivated to support war in the name of Islam is evidence that Muslims are motivated by Islam to support war. What do you think it is evidence of? Or do you prefer to tell Muslims what they think?

What do you think motivated so many Muslims from Australia to travel to ISIS, or attempt to travel there, to support that war? And to send money to support it? Islam, or those cunning Jews scheming to take over the world again?

Not sure why this one is so hard for you Meister: Other than the fact that they are Jewish, what makes you and all the other deluded Jew haters think that the sovereign nation of Israel setting it's own immigration policy is the root cause of the conflict? When every other nation, including Australia, gets to do the same thing without it being the root cause of 2 billion religious ideologues, as well as a large number of other random deluded people, wanting them dead?

No - we have mass uncontrolled immigration.

Israel doesn't.

You've driven yourself off the rails already... there's not much point in deflecting and misrepresenting to mask that...

The root of the conflict began long before Israel became a functioning state operating by enacted laws...

It began in earnest when, after the UNSCOP partition recommendation to the UN in 1947 and before the UN vote on partition in 1948, Israel had a window of 6 months to ethnically cleanse the region before it went beyond, what became UN Resolution 181, and declared independence, intending to seize land well beyond the partition boundaries... and it took to the task with zeal, removing as many Arabs as possible before it could be sanctioned as a state by the UN for having committed an international crime.

And, to save you researching this site for a poster's old opinion, ethnic cleansing does not count as an internationally recognised immigration policy.

Arabs and Muslims alike saw common cause in this overlap of historical fact and possession by religious tradition...

For their part, so did Jews... The historical fact of their military victory, with their cause's justification underwritten by the religious tradition that a Bronze Age god had 'promised' the land to his Bronze Age followers.

And in a step towards atonement for centuries of guilt over the rampant persecution and murder of Jews, Europeans largely fell silent... After all, it wasn't European land that was claimed.

Even the Pope begged god for forgiveness.

If you don't think that Israel setting it's own immigration policy is the root cause of the problem, why did you insist that you were telling us about the root cause of the problem when you started bitching about Jews immigrating to Israel after it declared independence? Have you changed your mind yet again about what point you are trying to make?

If that is not the root cause of the problem, would you like to tell us what is? Or did you decide to start telling us what the root cause is before figuring out what the root cause is?

Is it something to do with them insisting on being alive, and Jewish? Given that the west recently created every single border in the middle east and north africa, why do you think it is the line around Israel that makes Muslims froth at the mouth?

Do you think it might have the same root cause as what motivated so many Aussie Muslims to join ISIS and rape and pillage their way across the middle east in the name of Islam, despite having no historical or traditional connection to the place?

Or are you going to be really clever and refuse to tell us now?

Aye, but the Jews had to go somewhere, despite the hopes of Muslims that they would just crawl away and die.

I will highlight this post so you can see it.

My focus has always been on immigration into Palestine before it became a state in 1948, when other states could no longer restrict immigration into the region.

It did not remove as many as possible.

Your "focus" changes with the wind.

And why do you think that immigration is the root cause of the conflict? Is it only Jews that become the root cause of conflict by immigrating? How many wars has Australia had whose root cause is all the foreigners immigrating?

You can spew all the historical details you want. But you cannot make sense.

Now, a brief timeline of the root cause:

1880s-90s: Zionism is established as a Jewish movement.

Early 1900s: European Jews begin migrating to Palestine.

1922: Ze'ev Jabotinsky calls for militant Zionism.

1925: Some Zionists heed Jabotinsky's call and form so-called Revisionist Zionism.

1929: After clashes with Arabs, Revisionists become radicalised.

1933: First assassination of a Labor Zionist leader (Haim Arlosoroff) by Revisionists.

1935: Revisionists break away from the World Zionist Organisation

1937-39: Revisionists drop defensive-only military strategy and adopt an offensive military policy against Arabs.

!946-1947: Revisionist Zionists attack British Mandate and Arabs  in Palestine.

Nov 1947 – May 1948:  Following the UNSCOP partition plan, Zionist violence escalated. Its forces moved from defensive actions to offensive operations designed to secure territory, including areas designated for a future Arab state. Specific incidents, including the  Deir Yassin massacre on April 9, 1948, in which over 100 villagers were killed.

Plan Dalet (April 1948): Zionist leaders implemented Plan Dalet, a systematic military campaign to control the territory allotted to them, which resulted in the destruction of Arab villages, mass expulsions, and the seizure of homes.

Between 1945 and April 1948, Zionist paramilitary organisations -primarily the Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi (Stern Gang) - conducted a series of attacks against Arab civilians and armed groups in Mandatory Palestine, accelerating after the UN partition vote in November 1947. This period culminated in the 1948 Palestinian exodus, known as the Nakba, which saw the expulsion or flight of approximately 750,000 Palestinians.

Yes, you farted that meme out before:

Of course, you haven't bothered to check who did the expelling, when and why.

I did. I will repost it.

Arab states responding to Zionist/Israeli actions in Israel and undeclared (occupied) Palestine

Egypt - 1956
Syria - 1948
Iran - 1979 (after the Iranian Revolution)
Iraq - 1950
Lebanon - 1948
Morocco - 1948 (A French and Spanish Protectorate until 1956)
Yemen - 1949 (After a coup in 1948)
Algeria - 1962
Libya - 1945 (under British and French military occupation until 1951)
Tunisia - 1956 (under France until March 1956)
Gaza - 2005 (when Israel forcibly removed Jewish settlers in Gaza)

Two year-dates feature prominently -1948 (as discussed) and 1956, the year of the Suez Canal crisis, when Britain, France and Israel allied to attempt to seize control of the Suez Canal.

Nearly all the other dates are non-Muslim Western overlords expelling Jews.

Poor blind FD: the UN in it's wisdom - not - invited Jews to form a state on confiscated Muslim land, against the will of the inhabitants who were doubly outraged because Jews  are considered infidels.....

Talk about incapable of figuring something out...

It's a pity Trump is so ignorant; he has the power to implement UN res 181 today, no ifs or buts, guaranteeing security between Palestine and Israel - the whole world except the extreme Jewish Right (and what's left of Hamas militants) would be on board. 

So - a few thousand suicidal ideologues to be rounded up and imprisoned for life, allowing the ME to achieve peace accepted by everyone. 

But the OT's prophets are a vengeful lot; it's painful to read the endless blood-curdling vengence promised by 'God' .....I had the misfortune to read some Ezekiel recently.....

Sustenance for the Jewish Right, no doubt.

There was no 'Palestinian Liberation Movement' against the Ottomans or the various Islamic caliphates before them or against the Byzantines.
Nor against Egypt in Gaza or Jordan in the WB before 1967.


The unabating bellyache is about the Jews, not foreign rule as such. It is a slap in the face of Islam, Mohammed and the Koran that the Jews re-conquered a previously Muslim-conquered and occupied area.

Once Muslim, always Muslim. That's why Muslims believe that Southern Spain, Al Aldaluse, is rightfully still  theirs.
As is Lakemba and Greenacre, insh'allah.

It is via religious tradition that Jews insist gives them sovereignty over the region in perpetuity... a god from the Iron Age 'promising' land to his Iron Age followers.

Almost no Muslim country expelled Jews before 1948.

And most of those that did were occupied/ruled at the time by imperial powers like Britain and France.

You have completely detached from reality Meister. None of your arguments or "root causes" stand up to inspection. They all disappear in a puff of long winded hot air. Now you don't even have the balls to say what your "root cause" is. Just hint at it, because you are afraid to admit that you think being Jewish is all the explanation that is needed. Every good thing the Jews have done gets attributed to you by foreign, non-Jewish pressure on the Jews. At the same time, you can make up any Nazi-esque conspiracy you want about the Jews, and it does not need to reflect reality, because again you can put that down to foreign non-Jewish intervention, or a simple lack of ability of the Jews to do whatever "real agenda" you project on them - despite fighting off multi-nation armies from the outset.

The reality is that they have created a wealthy, liberal democracy in one of the most backwards and oppressive places on earth. They did this straight after the holocaust, and while middle eastern and north african countries were having their own final solution, and while neighbouring Arab Mulim nations were trying to slaughter them. They granted local Arab Muslims more rights and freedoms, and more say in the governance of the country, than any other middle eastern or north african country. This is the reality. This is the fruit that tells you the true nature of the tree.

Meanwhile, not only are the actions of Muslims consistent with Islam as the root cause, their words are too. Even when Aussie Muslim converts with no grievance or link to the area come on here and explain to you in plain English why they support ongoing war and that Islam is their motivation, you insist that is somehow not even evidence. But again, you didn't have the balls to follow through with that one. Your ability to filter out overwhelming evidence to suit your hatred of Jews is phenomenal.

...

Why is it that only Jews become the "root cause" of efforts to wipe them out by doing that same thing that millions of others have done?

Easy to identify your errors as usual.


1. Palestine was part of the Ottoman empire, the last islamic empire since the conquest of Byzantine Palistina by the Arabs at the beginning of the Muslim global conquest. 

Palestinians had no need of a 'Palestinian Liberation Movement', even if they didn't like their Ottoman overlords. 

(Re Lawrences's promises to the Arabs:

(google)

"T.E. Lawrence ("Lawrence of Arabia") did not personally promise Palestine to the Arabs, but he acted as an agent for the British government, which made ambiguous and conflicting promises. While encouraging the Arab Revolt, Lawrence intended for Arab independence, but Palestine was later excluded from this arrangement to satisfy British and Zionist interests.

2. The bellyache is about infidel Jews forcefully occupying Palestine, when the UN had no capacity to ensure security between Israel and Palestine.

3. The Jews in Byzantine Palistina welcomed the Arab conquest because they hated  oppressive Byzantine rule.

4. 'Once Israel always Israel?...even after 2 millennia?   

Spain of course was reconquered  by Christians - which Muslims have accepted without ongoing "terrorism" to restore Spain for islam ; whereas Israel was merely proclaimned by the UN, beginning the endless war.

We need an intelligent US administration to finally end the war, by implemeting UN res 181; most of the Arab world would welcome it after the chaos of the last 80 years.

Wrong: the root cause is the confiscation of land by an 'infidel' invader, made possible for the first time in history by an international body - the UN.

Not only do they stand up to inspection, but they are also directly transcribed from documented historical facts.

Not only do I have the balls to say what that root cause is, But I have posted them here:

Revisionist Zionism, greatly bolstered and emboldened by early 20th-century European persecution and murders (stratospherically after the Holocaust) of Jews, determined that a Jewish homeland would be established by all means necessary, regardless of the brutal means needed to cleanse the region of its current inhabitants, including forced expulsion or murder.

The root cause, to boil it down to a few words, is:

The European mass murder of Jews... Not only the Holocaust as the worst example, but 2000 years of it, culminating in the Holocaust.

Not only do they stand up to inspection, but they are also directly transcribed from documented historical facts.

Not only do I have the balls to say what that root cause is, But I have posted them here:

Revisionist Zionism, greatly bolstered and emboldened by early 20th-century European persecution and murders (stratospherically after the Holocaust) of Jews, determined that a Jewish homeland would be established by all means necessary, regardless of the brutal means needed to cleanse the region of its current inhabitants, including forced expulsion or murder.

Had the Holocaust not happened, most (if not all) of the German- Polish-Jewish former Polish/ German ex-military would not have bolstered and commanded the Revisionist Zionists, giving it the overwhelming and lethal edge that it had.

Had these German and Polish Jews become national heroes in Germany and Poland for their military actions and courage against the Soviets, they would not have been incentivised to give up European life for a piece of desert in the first place.

To rephrase the question, Is Israeli society addicted to war?

Is the price of Revisionist Zionist success in 1948, the condemnation of all Israeli citizens to war all the time?

I think that Net N Yahoo certainly is.

I think that their terrorist Group the IDF certaainly is.

But the general population I suspect are just normal people who hate what is happening.

Israel is Jewish

Judea is Jewish
Jesus, Paul, John, Mark, Luke, all Jews. David, Saul, Jews.

Jews, Jews, Jews.

Conqured by Romans, Byzantines, Crusaders, Abbasids, Ottomans - all gone. Jews still going.

If the Jews can't be at home in Judea, where CAN they be at home?

The Muslim claim of 'once Muslim always Muslim' is insufficient. They are conquering blow-ins with no better claim than that they are the last conquering invaders.

The Jews were the first (of still existing conquerors). 
Israel is a case of RE-conquista. The Muslims have no valid claim to Israel.

I'll help you out Meister. This is what being open and honest about what you think the root cause is looks like:

The root cause is Islam.


Wrong: the root cause is the confiscation of land by an 'infidel' invader,


If the root cause has nothing to do with Islam, why do you use the word 'infidel' when telling us what the real root cause is?

Or is infidel just your polite word for Jew? You are allowed to call them Jews. They don't consider it offensive.

Meister, have you worked up the courage to tell us what the root cause is?

Are you being so coy about it because you are trying to figure out the polite way to say that you feel compelled to gun down Jew on the streets of Sydney because they fled Europe during the holocaust?

Palestinian Christians are being pushed out from the West Bank, especially through settler violence, land seizure, demolitions, movement restrictions, economic strangulation, and intimidation.

What was the root cause of Jewish uprisings and revolts against Rome?

Was it (a) Judaism, (b) Polytheism, (c) Other?

You are peddling idiocies, pal. If the root cause of murdering News on Bondi Beach is the behaviour of Jews in the WB, then we can and should also say that the Muslims of ISIS are the same as the Muslims of Lakemba.


Or maybe you ARE right. The Jews are all the same,Muslims are all the same,  Catholics, Buddhists, all the same.

The common reference is the lack of comprehension of the term 'root cause'.

The root cause of the Arab-Israeli conflict was perceived foreign invasion by a persecuted people abandoning their European host countries en masse for the ancient former homeland of their religious culture.

Even Jabotinsky, the father of Revisionist (militant) Zionism and its direct descendant - the Likud Party, acknowledged the justice and merit in the resistance of the Arabs to this invasion... his solution? 'If we're going to be invaders, then don't offer the would-be vanquished our duplicitous words, our deceitful handshakes and our false promises of submission to their culture and laws... act as invaders - with bombs and steel.'

The ghost of Jabotinsky will haunt (some may say plague) Israeli society for all time... His cold and brutal point was: if Zionism is to progress to its conclusion, then it must proceed via the fastest route available, which necessarily includes offensive military action - to take the land from its current inhabitants, who will otherwise never. by negotiation, vacate their homes and cede them to usurpers... otherwise, Zionism must stop.

My question to you is:

Do you have what it takes to support Israel and yet accept the historical facts of the Arab-Israeli conflict without descending into teenage rants?

Do you have what it takes to support Israel and yet accept the historical facts of the Arab-Israeli conflict without descending into teenage rants?



You make Jabotinsky and his views the root cause.

But as every schoolboy knows, where there are three Jews there are four opinions/views. So you need to raise your eyes to a wider horizon than Jabotinsky.

The Palestinians could have created a country for themselves the same day the Jews did. They chose war instead.
Then they had another 5-6 chances to create a country for themselves in the next 8 decades and each time chose jihad instead.

Two to tango, what?

Not only do they stand up to inspection, but they are also directly transcribed from documented historical facts.

Not only do I have the balls to say what that root cause is, But I have posted them here:

Revisionist Zionism, greatly bolstered and emboldened by early 20th-century European persecution and murders (stratospherically after the Holocaust) of Jews, determined that a Jewish homeland would be established by all means necessary, regardless of the brutal means needed to cleanse the region of its current inhabitants, including forced expulsion or murder.

The ghost of Jabotinsky will haunt (some may say plague) Israeli society for all time... His cold and brutal point was: if Zionism is to progress to its conclusion, then it must proceed via the fastest route available, which necessarily includes offensive military action - to take the land from its current inhabitants, who will otherwise never. by negotiation, vacate their homes and cede them to usurpers... otherwise, Zionism must stop.

The same spurious argument could be levelled at Ukrainians. They had multiple chances to sue for peace with Russia by ceding land... instead, they are determined to defend all their land, and now including Crimea... enduring all the sacrifice and suffering that a prolonged major war entails.

As Jabotinsky warned the Zionists, Arabs are not fools... they're not taken in by lies about peaceful coexistence within a part of Palestine... they too had read Zionist manifestos and had interacted with the most zealous of Zionists. They were under no illusion about the aim of Zionism...

He advocated for not treating the Arabs like fools and doing what must be done to achieve Zionism's ultimate aim, and let the Arabs do what they must: Resist Zionism with all they had... he expected nothing less from the Arabs as honourable people but to attack the invaders with all they had...

The YouTube presentation has been removed.

The questionnaire does not disprove Palestinian peoplehood.

It relies on an anachronistic standard: 'show me an ancient nation-state with a capital, currency and temples, or you do not exist.'

By that standard, many real modern nations would fail.

A question for simpering religious nutjobs: What is their take on Israeli harassment and removal of Christians from the occupied West Bank?

How many Christian-against-Christian nations and people have fought bloody wars of destruction?

Could you apply that highlighted comment to yourself about support for the actions of the Christchurch killer?

Revisionist Zionism's founder insisted pre-1948 that Jewish military actions against the current owners of the land not only would, but should lead to violence... as he reasoned, 'what people would not resist their expulsion from their home and lands?

But you still can't come to terms with the root cause.

Of course you can't... That would take bearing a moral burden that Jabotinsky advised the Zionists of his day was unavoidable.

'If we are to be colonisers, then we must do what colonisers must do: displace the local people by force..

Similar to the current actions in the West Bank to remove non-Jews, including Christians.

What support? I am not saying he did it because Jews migrated to Palestine before 1948. This is your logic I am asking you to explain. Or is your logic inexplicable?

If you were to meet a Jew and discover that their great-grandparents, or earlier ancestors, migrated to Australia prior to 1948, how much difficulty would you have refraining from killing them?

I told you what the root cause is. Islam. I even quoted some Muslims openly admitting that Islam motivates them to support ongoing violence, and not just in Israel. You have been tiptoeing around some other root cause, but I am yet to see you clearly state what it is. Are you afraid of what people will think of you?

The root cause of the Arab-Israeli conflict is pre-1948 Jewish mass migration into Palestine and Revisionist Zionism’s military actions to support it.

That it went on to trigger a religious cultural war well beyond the region as a result is, as it turned out, a toxic consequence of the conflict, similar, though much greater, than the IRA’s internationalising of the Northern Ireland conflict.

In that conflict, the Catholic Irish in the likes of Australia and the US gave largely financial support to the IRA.

When you say "actions", do you mean Jewish conspiracies that never actually transpired? Because so far you have given us a lot of conspiracies, and a lot of excuses for why the reality is pretty much the opposite of the picture you try to paint.

When you say "Revisionist Zionism" are you referring to actual people, or is this another way of referring to Jewish conspiracies?

If the migrants had not been Jews, would they have been the root cause of violence?

Why is only the pre-1948 migration the root cause of ongoing violence, when most of it happened after 1948? In fact, from 48 to the early 50's more Jews migrated in than lived in Israel prior to 48.

Why do you think that the establishment of the state of Israel itself is not a cause? Do you think that all the Muslims who want to wipe out Israel don't actually care about the existence of the state of Israel, it's creation in 1948, or the Jews that migrated there, largely from Arab countries, after 1948?

I suspect Meister's 8 page tap dance routine is an elaborate effort at turd polishing. He wants to legitimise killing Jews and all the Islamic Jew-hating propaganda that goes along with it. So we can't have Muslims being motivated to kill them just because they are Jewish, or because they are ideologically opposed to the existence of a state called Israel run by Jews, or because all the Jews cleansed from Arab countries ended up in Israel rather than crawling off and dying somewhere quietly, or because they migrated to Israel when it was an independent nation and permitted by Meister to have its own immigration policy, or because they oppose fellow Muslims having their minds poisoned in the liberal democracy that Israel has created, or, worst of all, because Muhammad told them to kill Jews.

So Muslims are only allowed to want to kill Jews for reasons that Meister considers legitimate. Which is why Meister is so busy collecting every illegal or immoral thing done by Jews and pretending that is the only part of the story that gets the Muslims wound up.

He doesn't "think" this is the root cause, he merely "prefers" it to be the root cause, because it allows him to blame Jew killing entirely on Jews and absolve Islam and Muslims, to the extent possible, from responsibility for their own actions.

As I’ve said, your knowledge is world politics and political history is woeful… about that of a 15-year-old.

Revisionist Zionism and its militant activities are well documented, including Menachim Begin’s very public showdown with David Ben Gurion on Tel Aviv beach. Begin was the Revisionist leader at the time and was shipping in Zionist militants against the will of the fledgling Israeli leftist labor-Zionist leaning government.

The ship was sunk in the showdown.

Why have you not googled or AI’d revisionist Zionism before posting? You’ll find that two former Israeli PMs, Begin and Shamir, we’re both Revisionists and deemed international terrorists before being elected as PMs. Both were responsible for violent attacks on the British and Arabs.

After 1948, Israel claimed the right to manage its own affairs, so immigration into Israel once it was a recognised state was an internal matter.

Israel’s creation was a direct result of mass Jewish immigration.

80% of Jews were migrating from Europe into Palestine, after centuries of Europeans murdering Jews for being Jews, culminating in the holocaust. After israel’s creation, the Arab response in many Arab states was to expel jews… and again in 1956 when Israel joined Britain and France and captured the Sinai.

Given freedivers reversion to the same debunked drivel, I suspect his is a psychological or a developmental disorder.

And, of course, a coward.

Accepting the burden of the moral consequences of supporting Israel takes maturity… so… that’s freediver out.

This burden was warned of by Jabotinsky… Either zionists create a state in place of Palestine by all means necessary, or Zionism itself must cease.

Europe being collectively and exponentially responsible for the multitude of mass murders of Jews (just for being Jews), has largely shuttered itself in silence from guilt about pre-1948 Zionist actions…

Until recently, for over 75 years, Israeli actions have been largely off limits to criticism by European governments.

Most Israelis were either locals or were forced out of neighbouring Muslim countries.




Forced out by whom?

Jews in the middle east and North Africa liked living there so much Zionists had to force them out:


For many centuries Morocco (Al-Maghrib) had large prosperous Jewish communities, known as Mizrahi Jews, who lived peacefully with their Moslem Arab neighbors. This peaceful coexistence encouraged Spanish Jews (Sephardim) to escape to Morocco during the Spanish Reconquista period when Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand recaptured Spain in the 13 th century, and ordered the Jews to either convert to Christianity or leave the country. After 781 years of flourishing existence under the Islamic Caliphate rule, many Spanish Jews escaped Christian persecution to the more welcoming Islamic Morocco.

The Jewish virtual library confesses that Mizrahi and Sephardim Jews of Morocco enjoyed greater equality with Muslims. Many of them gained important positions in the government administration as officials and in courts of law as judges. The Jews had their own quarters in the main cities, where they had their own schools, their own synagogues, and even their own courts and judges. They comprised a large section of the middle class, who played large roles in the economy, trade, industry and educational system of the kingdom.

All this was changed with the invention of the Israeli state, especially after Zionist leaders had sent their agents to encourage and to bribe Moroccan Jews, among many other Arab Jews, to immigrate to occupied Palestine...

Many other Moroccan Jewish historians had written about the Mossad's terrorist crimes against Moroccan Jews to cause such mass immigration. Among them Michel Knafo, who published his book “Le Mossad et les Secrets du Reseau Juif au Maroc” describing Mossad's plot to smuggle Moroccan Jews to Israel. He documented eye-witness life stories of the smuggling operation.

Michael M. Laskier documents in his book “North African Jewry in the Twentieth Century: The Jews of Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria” the life of North African Arab Jews, their peaceful coexistence with the Muslims, their social status, and the role of the Zionist organizations, including the Mossad's secret operations of militarizing the young Jews, the Mossad's terrorist attacks against local Jews, and the illegal immigration from the beginning of the twentieth century.

Agnes Bensimon is a French writer originally from Moroccan Jewish descent. She exposed in her book “ Hassan II et Les Juifs; Historie d'une emigration secrete” the secret bribery dealings between Mossad agents and King Hassan II regarding the Moroccan Jewish immigration.

One may ask, here, the logical question of why would Zionists terrorize Arab Jews when Zionists' main objective is to unite Jews in  Israel. David Hirst, a former Middle East correspondent for the Guardian, explains in his book “The Gun and The Olive Branch” (1977, Future Publication) that Zionism had less appeal to Oriental Jews (Arab Jews). The reason for their indifference was that, historically, they, unlike persecuted European Jews, did not suffer persecution and discrimination in the Arab countries. Although some prejudice existed the Arab Jews lived, on the whole, comfortable life and had deep roots in the land. They enjoyed equal privileges and many of them gained high governmental positions. They enjoyed a sense of security and belonging they would not abandon for ambiguous militaristic life in Israel surrounded by many hostile Arab countries.

Zionist crimes against Arab Jews, in particular, is an open secret very well known to Arabs as well as to Arab Jews. Zionist terror against Moroccan Jews is just one example of other terrorist attacks against well-established and peacefully coexisting Arab Jewish communities in all Arab countries; including Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, in order to persuade them to immigrate to Israel. The case of transferring over 100 thousand Iraqi Jews from Iraq is the most well-documented open secret plotted together by the newly formed Israeli government under Ben-Gurion and Nuri as-Said; the British puppet ruler of Iraq in late 1950s. Mossad agents testified to having planted bombs within the Jewish community in order to spread hatred and fear to provoke Jewish flight from Iraq.

Naeim Giladi , an Iraqi Jew, was an Israeli agent, who is very well familiar with the Israeli terrorist attacks against Iraqi Jewish communities. He stated “… that Jews  from Islamic lands did not immigrate willingly to Israel; that, to force them to leave, Jews killed Jews.” In his book “Ben Gurion's Scandals: How the Haganah & the Mossad Eliminated Jews” he documented that Operation Ezra & Nehemiah, also known as Operation Ali Baba, was the airlift of more than 120 thousand Iraqi Jews from Iraq to Israel as a result of Israeli agents' terrorist attacks against Iraqi Jews.

Just because you can invent an elaborate conspiracy theory to blame the Jews for everything, including ethnic cleansing of Jews, does not mean you should, or that it is true, or that it even makes sense.

When you say "actions", do you mean Jewish conspiracies that never actually transpired? Because so far you have given us a lot of conspiracies, and a lot of excuses for why the reality is pretty much the opposite of the picture you try to paint.

When you say "Revisionist Zionism" are you referring to actual people, or is this another way of referring to Jewish conspiracies?

If the migrants had not been Jews, would they have been the root cause of violence?

Why is only the pre-1948 migration the root cause of ongoing violence, when most of it happened after 1948? In fact, from 48 to the early 50's more Jews migrated in than lived in Israel prior to 48.

Why do you think that the establishment of the state of Israel itself is not a cause? Do you think that all the Muslims who want to wipe out Israel don't actually care about the existence of the state of Israel, it's creation in 1948, or the Jews that migrated there, largely from Arab countries, after 1948?

As I’ve said, your knowledge is world politics and political history is woeful… about that of a 15-year-old.

Revisionist Zionism and its militant activities are well documented, including Menachim Begin’s very public showdown with David Ben Gurion on Tel Aviv beach. Begin was the Revisionist leader at the time and was shipping in Zionist militants against the will of the fledgling Israeli leftist labor-Zionist leaning government.

I didn't google it because, believe it or not, google doesn't base it's answers around your Jew hating conspiracy theories. It does not even start it's answers with "Meister Eckart is so confused because...". Only you can reveal that.

Quote:

This is a good example of why I cannot google why you are so confused. I did not ask you whether Israel had the "right" to set its own immigration policy after 1948. I asked you why you think that only pre 1948 immigration is the root cause of the ongoing violence. Are you suggesting that all the Muslim suicide bombers are blowing themselves up in support of British migration rules from early last century? British governance was so wonderful that Muslims have been compelled to slaughter Jews ever since in an effort to recreate it?

Or just polishing the turd?

Quote:
I suspect Meister's 8 page tap dance routine is an elaborate effort at turd polishing. He wants to legitimise killing Jews and all the Islamic Jew-hating propaganda that goes along with it. So we can't have Muslims being motivated to kill them just because they are Jewish, or because they are ideologically opposed to the existence of a state called Israel run by Jews, or because all the Jews cleansed from Arab countries ended up in Israel rather than crawling off and dying somewhere quietly, or because they migrated to Israel when it was an independent nation and permitted by Meister to have its own immigration policy, or because they oppose fellow Muslims having their minds poisoned in the liberal democracy that Israel has created, or, worst of all, because Muhammad told them to kill Jews.

So Muslims are only allowed to want to kill Jews for reasons that Meister considers legitimate. Which is why Meister is so busy collecting every illegal or immoral thing done by Jews and pretending that is the only part of the story that gets the Muslims wound up.

He doesn't "think" this is the root cause, he merely "prefers" it to be the root cause, because it allows him to blame Jew killing entirely on Jews and absolve Islam and Muslims, to the extent possible, from responsibility for their own actions.


Is this a reasonable explanation for your tapdancing Meister? Just like with the Chinese car thread, you have a "preferred" explanation, one that does not involve Islam or communism or explanations that are consistent with global trends, but instead lays the blame at the Jews and the Chinese, on an ad hoc basis, using whatever random factoids you can dig up? Rather than the explanation being guided by the truth, you bend the truth to fit an explanation that by your own admission, you simply "prefer", and just happens to be racist in both cases?

Meister, have you ever met a Muslim who said they have no problem with the establishment of Israel, or Israel providing a home for all the Jews that were ethnically cleansed from Arab lands in the years following 1948, or all the other Jewish immigration to Israel after 1948, but they want to kill Jews only because of all the holocaust survivors that fled to Israel prior to 1948, and only on the basis that the British overlords didn't approve?

Do you think the Muslim world is nothing more than an extension of the legal pedantry going on in your head, and all the hatred is nothing more than some kind of box-ticking failure?

Or are you just desperately trying to paint Jew killing in the best possible light by only acknowledging causes that you approve of?

You’ve been schooled about that meme twice before.

There were almost no expulsions of Jews from ME countries before 1948. Those who expelled Jews before that were imperial powers - Britain, France and Spain. 1948 triggered reciprocal expulsions as did 1956.

As a European coward, you take the easy option of assuming that establishing a majority Jewish state was just a matter of peacefully turning up and enduring unjustified attacks by the locals.

Try reading Jabotinsky’s essays, particularly ‘the Iron Wall’… he states it in black and white… a Jew with the balls to tell it like it was… ‘if we don’t take the land by force, it will never be just handed to us’… that ‘Arabs are not fools and are not deceived by lies of living peacefully within enclaves’… that ‘Arabs are an honourable people who will fight - as they will, should and must’.

How many of your ancestors do you think could have murdered or taken part in the murders of Jews for being Jews? That’s a question Israelis would like Europeans to consider.

You embarrass ourself…

Your answers to everything is one word answers - communism and Islam.

Even when you admit that Chinese communism declined in 1979… even if it’s more like 2000… that’s 26 years of capitalism and Chinese cost cutting under the cultural phenomenon chabuduo… but you’ve probably never left Australia.

Now it’s Islam that caused the Arab-Israeli conflict… that makes it easy for your European cowardice to avoid bearing a heavier burden.

A couple of points...

The existence of the state of Israel is irreversible. Even the vast majority of Arab and other Middle Eastern states acknowledge this, despite the rhetoric, and neither would they want it.

Jabotinsky, the founder of Revisionist Zionism, and his contemporaries were writing decades before the Holocaust, which is an indication of the severity of European persecutory and murderous tendencies towards Jews, just for being Jews, long before the Nazis. Even the Catholic and Protestant churches were in on it.

This thread title is.....
"Is Israeli society addicted to war?"




2026-May-02  Sat,  7:22 am
I was just watching Al Jazeera, on early morning SBS.

And the Al Jazeera news service was reporting on Israels 'constant' attacks in southern Lebanon,
despite the current ceasefire, still being in effect.

Israel.....is still.....bombarding places in southern Lebanon.

And this is being reported.....on Al Jazeera.

And the presenter, was repeating the phrase.....
"Israel's war...."
"Israel's war...."
"Israel's war...."

......causing destruction and death, in many places in Lebanon.

Yeah, don't yah know......that Israel is conducting a war,
"Israel's war....",
in, and against Lebanon.

Q.
Why are those aggressors, Israel, busy conducting a war......against Lebanon ?

I couldn't work it out.
/sarc off


Another question;
Why isn't Israel bombarding places inside Jordan, and Egypt ?

After all......Jordan, and Egypt are ALSO neighbouring states to Israel ?

And we all know.....that Israel is bombarding places all over southern Lebanon,
and killing some people too !

So.......why is Israel NOT also bombarding places within Jordan, and Egypt too ?

I just can't work it out.
/sarc off



Unequal.


OBSERVATION;
On the Al Jazeera news service, i have never, ever,
heard any criticism of any of the unilateral actions that have [often]
been conducted by Hezbollah, against northern Israel.

Why is that ?


unequal = = not equal in quantity, size, or value.     not fair, evenly balanced, or having equal advantage.

unilateral = = performed by or affecting only one person, group, etc.



.


KJV

Exodus 20:13
Thou shalt not kill.
     [i.e. 'Thou shalt do no murder...' Matthew 19:18
     And the sanction in God's law, for a killer, was for him to lose HIS OWN LIFE.
     And......in God's law, our own self defence, is lawful. Exodus 22:2]


Proverbs 28:4
They that forsake the law praise the wicked:
but such as keep the law contend with them.
5  Evil men understand not judgment:
but they that seek the LORD understand all things.


Isaiah 53:6
All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep;
seek thy servant;
for I do not forget thy commandments.

.. and the cause is rooted ...

Here's another little thing I wrote - love it or leave it:- 


"Because many people who are persuaded they are (insert ideology) are not simply content to live as they are and behave physically as they are built, but want to totally change who and what they are and all around them.  That speaks of far deeper issues in most cases than ‘(insert ideology)’.

Often they are marginal - sometimes borderline - people who are simply desperately seeking somewhere to plant their flag and say “I Exist”! You get the same with many who adhere to frankly insane ideologies such as Gangstahism, Gazaism, Iranism, Neo-Nazism, Neo-Islamism (converts) and ALL the other CREATED -isms - INCLUDING those who adhere rabidly to ‘political divides’.

Anywhere to hoist your flag and say - “look at me” - I’m ‘different’, and ‘noble’, and somehow instead of being on the lowest rungs of society - I am ‘better’ than most!

It’s a sad part of human nature in many ways and leads to many often dreadful things, and it is often made worse by what is becoming known as Digital Dementia, Digital Dysphoria, Internet Dementia and so forth - all created by far too much use of social media of many kinds, that seeps into the mind and distorts reality.

Not least of these influences are those that sell violence in any form, and once AI Terminators are daily fare preaching the New Truths their Masters want them to push until accepted as truth - it will only get worse, since ANY idea or ideology can be pushed without limit on what is already an uncontrolled media and social media interspace.

The battle for the future begins tonight… you must be stronger than you ever knew yourself capable of being…. the future nd your future depends on it - and I don’t mean your future as a (insert ideology)person…. but as a Human."

I'll help you out Meister. This is what being open and honest about what you think the root cause is looks like:

The root cause is Islam.


Wrong: the root cause is the confiscation of land by an 'infidel' invader,


If the root cause has nothing to do with Islam, why do you use the word 'infidel' when telling us what the real root cause is?

Or is infidel just your polite word for Jew? You are allowed to call them Jews. They don't consider it offensive.


Obviously the scripture-based element of the conflict - namely, Jews are considered 'infidels' in Islam -  is additional  to the territorial-based element of the conflict, namely, the disputed confiscation of territory (in this case, enabled by vote in an international organisation for the first time in history).

There have been vastly greater population movements across the world in the 20th centure alone, both in terns of territory and people.

Why especially since it has been the Palestinians and Muslim Arabs around them, who have responded with war to the initial UN settlement and then with more wars in response to every effort of peaceful settlement.


I point out the bleedding obvious: had the Paĺlos formed their own state when the Jews did, the WB and Gaza would now be parts of a sovereign country, and not mere occupied teritories (first by Arabs and now by Jews).

And the Kurds, most of the tribes and ethnic groups of Africa, the Ukrainians, the Indians with the Chinese, the Basques, the Catalans, the Armenians vs the Azerbaijanis...

As Jabotinski warned, no people willingly cede territory to invaders or colonisers, as neither would Australians.

Would we Australians willingly cede land and redraw Australia's territory if, say, Indonesia seized parts of northern Australia, claiming an ancient link to the land?

The Revisionist Zionists pre-1948 were not kindly European-Jewish jewellers and bagel bakers; their leaders were all battle-hardened Eastern Europeans and Russians who weren't f~cking around with niceties, diplomacy and conciliation towards the Arab inhabitants. They had one military aim: to seize the land and create a Jewish state in line with ancient Jewish borders.

Those Jews who fought under the Revisionist command were not meek European Jews; they were either ex-soldiers or survivors of European depravity that had cost them everything, including their entire families.

How about the Czech Republic to Germany's reclaiming of the Sudetenland?

It's because they are considered Jews, and Muslims believe the land is "owned" by Islam and must therefor be ruled by Islam. Most of them are either locals or were forced out of neighbouring Muslim countries. It is not the "invasion" they have a problem with, but their lack of submission to Islam. You are projecting your own views onto this, but you only need to listen to what Muslims say.

We had Muslim converts right here on this forum, with absolutely no historical attachment to the region, who insisted the war against Israel must continue, regardless of the cost, because Allah has ordained inevitable victory over non-Muslims. Not just in Israel, but in Spain which is also "owned" by Islam. This has nothing to do with who invaded what. The Spanish are no more invaders in Spain than the Jews are in Israel. It is the historical Muslim conquest that justifies conquest. It is all about religion. If Israel had come into existence without a single Jew immigrating to the area, the Muslims would still be frothing at the mouth with fury over the insult to their religion.

The Muslims are addicted to war, because they believe that war and victory are ordained for them by Allah. The Israelis have established a liberal democracy in one of the most backwards and oppressive places on earth. Despite being attacked multiple times and winning every time, they handed back the massive territory they won. Because they are not addicted to war.

I have never heard a Muslim complain about the Jews invading, but if that is what you actually heard, you misunderstood and thought the invasion bit was the problem. It isn't. It is the Jewish part. Muslims have been fighting each other ever since Muhammad died. Pretty much every nation and every border in the Muslim world was created by the west. Muslims don't care, because Muslims are in charge. When one of these nations invades the other, Muslims in the rest of the world don't care, unless one is Shite and one is Sunni. Muslims have actually been assisting the invasion of Muslim lands by non-Muslims for the entire history of Islam, in the form of the Islamic slave trade. Again, they don't care, because it is ordained by Islam, governed by Islam and dominated by Islam, and they get to pretty much forcibly convert the slaves to Islam.

At least, they don't care as much as they do about Israel. But when ISIS promised to re-establish the Caliphate and slaughtered their way across the middle east, Muslims from around the world leant their support, the same way they do in the effort to slaughter Jews. Not because they were fighting off an invasion, but because they were fighting for Islamic rule. It is not enough to have Muslims in charge, it has to be a proper Islamic state.

You do not understand this, so you project your own western view in order to come up with an explanation that you do understand. Stop expecting their actions to make sense to you. They only have to make sense to Islam, because Islam is what motivates them.

If does. It absolutely does.

That is why it happened as it did. If was accepted everywhere else except by Islam because it is contrary to Islamic doctrine.
That is the long and the short of it. Jews taking Muslim "land" is anathema.  Muslim lands were carved up in all sorts of ways. They only carry on about the Jews coming home.

The Muslims have conquered the Roman Empire. If they were really serious about everyone having their old territories back they should clear the *uck out of North Africa, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakiland et al - all conquered by bloody Muslim invaders.

Now they kvetch when the Jews take some tiny part of that vast bloody conquest back, WITH UN approval.

Islam - *ucking height of hyoocrisy and idiocy.

They got UN approval for partition within defined borders... those borders were breached before UN recognition of Israeli statehood, but recognition went ahead anyway on Israel's promise to withdraw back to them.

Before UN partition approval, the Revisionist Zionists took on the British via the kidnapping, torture and murder of British soldiers and civilians. They murdered Lord Moyne, the British Minister Resident in the Middle East. They attempted to murder Clement Attlee, the British Prime Minister.

By 1948, the British thought better of full retaliation. The US was against it and the risk of creating headlines, e.g., 'Allies Gun Down Jewish Holocaust Survivors'  after they'd survived one of Europe's most depraved acts of European Jew hate.

Europe, for its part, was generally comfortable with the mass exodus of Jews from Europe, as Jew hate there was too ingrained into the European psyche to be eliminated overnight... and it worsened the further east they lived.

Although the still-ruling Stalin despised Jews, he was more inclined to see them exiled to his gulags in the east than just let them leave... He'd planned a region as far east of the Soviet Union as he could get and had retitled the region simply as 'Jewish' as a dumping ground for the Soviet Union's surviving Jews.

Killing anything up to 100,000 Innocent people has no relationship to self defence. There is no justification or excuse for the actions of the IDF or NetNYahoo. I doubt that this is supported by the bulk of their people.

How many times you gotta be told? The 'tiny part' is just the beginning. They want all the land from the Nile to the Euphrates, because they believe that's what their god promised them (Genesis 15:18), and as what was admitted by US Ambassador Huckabee a few months ago.

WITH UN approval.


Yet the UN admitted it was violating its own charter by 'giving' a minority group the majority of the land.

"UNGA resolution 181 simply did not partition Palestine. It was in fact, a partition plan, which was to be seen as a recommendation, and that the issue should be transferred to the Security Council. But don’t take our word for it, we encourage you to read the actual resolution and see if you arrive at the same conclusions. The resolution does not in any way obligate the people of Palestine to accept it, especially considering the non-binding nature of UNGA resolutions.

"For its part, the Security Council attempted to find a resolution based on the UNGA recommendation, but could not arrive at a consensus. Many arrived at the conclusion that the plan could not be enforced. Israel was unilaterally declared by Zionist leadership by force while the Security Council was still trying to arrive at a conclusion. The plan was never implemented."

It was a testament to the steeled resolve of the militant ZIonists who were prepared to take on the British Imperial establishment and the UN if they stood in the way of their plans for Israeli statehood.

They'd sent the British a cold-blooded message for their concessions towards displaced Arabs.

Bernadotte's objectives to make Jerusalem an international city and to allow displaced Palestinians to return to their homes marked him for death in the minds of the Zionists.

The murder was planned and executed by Zionist leaders, including later Prime Minister, Yitzhak Shamir, to send the UN the same message they'd sent the British if it involved itself in the region.

At least two former militant Zionist murderers later became Israeli Prime Ministers: Menachim Begin and Yitzhak Shamir.

This edition of Al Jazeera Inside Story was so fascinating. I really enjoyed watching it and the panelists responses.

Especially Gideon Levy, who is an Israeli who said "Israelis are ADDICTED to wars".

Essentially, they all agree Israel is in a permanent state of war and that it'll be its undoing.





Has Israeli society become conditioned to permanent war?


12 April 2026

AL JAZEERA

A negative political and public reaction in Israel to the ceasefire with Iran, despite the respite it brings. No pause for Israel's army, however, or its victims. Hundreds have been killed in Lebanon, with more dead in Gaza. Is Israel a society effectively on a permanent war footing?

Presenter: Tom McRae
Guests:
Ilan Pappe - a historian and professor at Exeter University
Gideon Levy - a columnist at Haaretz newspaper in Tel Aviv
Haim Bresheeth - professor at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London


The zionist jews and christians are war mongers the only way to stop them is to put them down they are as radical as any soni group like isis etc.

It seems they learnt well from that little man with a moustache.

I would be somewhat more sympathetic to Muslims if they could do something like this, stuff that assimilated, acculturated Jews have been doing so well for centuries for the benefit of all mankind.

Islam is the death of music, literature, art, resarch, enquiry, human dignity, female dignity, conviviality.

Islam already rules over far more people than its idiotic doctrins would merit. It is a deadly and deadening cancer on human creativity and dignity.

Stolen from the Indians.
Islam is inhuman, antithetical to anything dignified, artistic, humane.

It murders the human spirit at every turn. 

Submission. *uck that. YOU submit.

Why are you so forgetful?

I showed you this some time ago:

"From coffee to cheques and the three-course meal, the Muslim world has given us many innovations that we take for granted in daily life... Paul Vallely nominates 20 of the most influential - and identifies the men of genius behind them"

Israel IS a country.


The PLO and Hamas, Hezb'allah are not. They are terrorist organisations funded by an Islamic terrorist state.

A country has every right and duty to defend itself from terrorists. That is all Israel is doing.


You morons would be on Israel's side if it wasnt Jewish.

So *uck orff. You are just upset about the Jews not going along with another holocaust.

More forced to defend all the time:-

https://quadrant.org.au/news-opinions/their-abc/their-abcs-gaza-fantasyland/?fbc...

Escerpts:-

“On September 2 last year, the ABC reported that “the world’s leading genocide scholars” condemned Israel for genocide in Gaza.”

“As Israel’s conduct in Gaza comes under greater and greater scrutiny, the world’s leading association of genocide scholars has backed a resolution saying its conduct in the strip has met the legal criteria to be considered a genocide. Of the 500 members voting on the resolution, 86 per cent backed it, saying that the threshold has been met, meeting the criteria of the Geneva Convention.”

“Concerning the ABC-respected International Association of Genocide Scholars, the research group demonstrates that it is nothing more than an anti-Israel lobby group.
Anyone can become a member on payment of $US30.”
“membership has ballooned from 144 to about 500. The 500 registered members include, improbably, “Adolf Hitler”, Cookie Monster, and someone calling themselves “Sheev Palpatine”, referencing the evil alien Emperor from Star Wars. About 15% of the so-called ‘genocide scholars’ live in Iraq.”

“Those of us who opposed the resolution attempted to submit our concerns for discussion but were blocked by the leadership.“

“The ICC actually found merely that Palestinians had a plausible right to be protected from genocide. The ICC President Joan E. Donoghue explicitly clarified this mild finding.”

“These [genocide] claims have no factual basis. However, the scale of this propaganda has created an environment that contributed to social radicalisation and the escalation of militant antisemitism across Australia. The normalisation of unproven genocide allegations has created an environment in which Jews who support Israel are routinely demonised and marginalised.”

Which was created by terrorism. Hey, Zionist Jews even committed acts of terrorism against Jews in neighbouring countries to make then panic and flee, thereby solving, at least in part, a major problem Zionists had - populating Palestine where Jews were a minority.

The ones you call terrorists are simply defending their land, as they are entitled to do under international law.

Quote:
A country has every right and duty to defend itself from terrorists. That is all Israel is doing.


Like I said, you are clueless about international law. You cannot distinguish between attacks on a sovereign state by another sovereign state and attacks on an occupying state by the people it illegally occupies.

Here's some reading for you. Try and learn something for a change:

https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2023/11/the-right-of-self-defence/

https://mondoweiss.net/2024/09/no-israel-does-not-have-a-right-to-defend-itself-...

And Francesca Albanese, UN special rapporteur on Palestine, says Israel’s assault on Gaza is without legal merit as ‘self-defense cannot apply in a context of military occupation’

Since you've repeatedly failed to back up your claim of 'bollocks' let's take a closer look:

The Independent: "2 The ancient Greeks thought our eyes emitted rays, like a laser, which enabled us to see. The first person to realise that light enters the eye, rather than leaving it, was the 10th-century Muslim mathematician, astronomer and physicist Ibn al-Haitham."

What do other sources say?

"Ibn al-Haytham (born c. 965, Basra, Iraq—died c. 1040, Cairo, Egypt) was a mathematician and astronomer who made significant contributions to the principles of optics and the use of scientific experiments... Ibn al-Haytham’s most important work is Kitāb al-manāẓir (which) contains the correct model of vision: the passive reception by the eyes of light rays reflected from objects, not an active emanation of light rays from the eyes."
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ibn-al-Haytham

And if you think the Encyclopedia Britannica is not a reliable and trustworthy source you are a moron.

The Independent: "4 A thousand years before the Wright brothers a Muslim poet, astronomer, musician and engineer named Abbas ibn Firnas made several attempts to construct a flying machine...Baghdad international airport and a crater on the Moon are named after him."

What do other sources say?

"Abbas ibn Firnas (c. 810–887 CE) was an Andalusian polymath of Berber origin, celebrated as an inventor, engineer, chemist, physician, astronomer, poet, and musician during the Islamic Golden Age in Al-Andalus.[1] Best known for pioneering aviation technology, he constructed and piloted one of the world's earliest recorded attempts at heavier-than-air flight in 875 CE, using a winged glider made from wood, silk, and feathers, which allowed him to glide for several minutes before a rough landing that inspired later designs with stabilizing tails... Firnas's aviation endeavors, detailed in an 11th-century historical manuscript, involved observing birds and constructing a winged glider launched from a hill near Córdoba, achieving a flight witnessed by contemporaries but ending in injury due to the absence of a tail mechanism for controlled descent.[2] His innovations influenced subsequent inventors and earned posthumous recognition, including a crater on the Moon named in his honor by the International Astronomical Union in 1976."
https://grokipedia.com/page/Abbas_ibn_Firnas

The Independent: "7 The crank-shaft is a device which translates rotary into linear motion and is central to much of the machinery in the modern world, not least the internal combustion engine. One of the most important mechanical inventions in the history of humankind, it was created by an ingenious Muslim engineer called al-Jazari to raise water for irrigation. His 1206 Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices shows he also invented or refined the use of valves and pistons, devised some of the first mechanical clocks driven by water and weights, and was the father of robotics. Among his 50 other inventions was the combination lock."

What do other sources say?

"al-Jazarī was a Muslim inventor. He is remembered for his automaton designs, including water-operated automatons... Leonardo da Vinci is said to have been influenced by the classic automatons of al-Jazarī."
https://www.britannica.com/biography/al-Jazari

The Independent: "10 Many modern surgical instruments are of exactly the same design as those devised in the 10th century by a Muslim surgeon called al-Zahrawi. His scalpels, bone saws, forceps, fine scissors for eye surgery and many of the 200 instruments he devised are recognisable to a modern surgeon. It was he who discovered that catgut used for internal stitches dissolves away naturally (a discovery he made when his monkey ate his lute strings) and that it can be also used to make medicine capsules. In the 13th century, another Muslim medic named Ibn Nafis described the circulation of the blood, 300 years before William Harvey discovered it. Muslims doctors also invented anaesthetics of opium and alcohol mixes and developed hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes in a technique still used today."

What do other sources say?

"Abū al-Qāsim al-Zahrāwī and Al-Taṣrīf li-man ʿajaz ʿan al-taʾālīf (c. 1000 ce): Abū al-Qāsim al-Zahrāwī, a medieval surgeon of Andalusian Spain, compiled a comprehensive medical encyclopedia, Al-Taṣrīf (“The Method”), which contained a section dedicated to surgery. The work detailed procedures such as tonsillectomy and tracheostomy and described surgical instruments, including scalpels and forceps. Abū al-Qāsim also pioneered the use of catgut for internal stitching and cauterization for the treatment of hemorrhage (bleeding)."
https://www.britannica.com/science/History-of-Surgery-A-Timeline

Again, if you think the Encyclopedia Britannica is not a reliable and trustworthy source you are a moron.

So there's just a few which vindicate The Independent.

The Encyclopedia Britannica uses glowing terms like, "significant contributions to the principles of optics"; "one of the most important mechanical inventions in the history of humankind" and "central to much of the machinery in the modern world"


I could go on.

Now what are you going to say?

Problems In Middle East Blamed On The 0.3% Of It That Isn’t An Islamic Dictatorship



AMMAN — As experts and diplomats continue to search for the solution to the generations-long conflict in the region, one surprising study has concluded that problems in the Middle East should definitely be blamed on the 0.3% of it that isn't an Islamic dictatorship.

Though opinions on the conflict have been divided over the decades, a consensus was reached that all of the problems flow from the minute portion of the region that isn't ruled by bloodthirsty, murderous terrorists who want to conquer the entire world.

"It's definitely all Israel's fault," said analyst Ibrahim Hamzi of the Institute for Blaming Jews in Jordan. "We have looked closely at all of the evidence accumulated over the last century and have come to the conclusion that none of the issues that arise in the Middle East can be blamed on the multiple Islamic dictatorships that have caused oppression, rape, murder, and terrorism around the world. Yes, the West lives in fear of Islamic extremists carrying out deadly attacks on heavily populated areas, but that's not the problem. No, it's Israel. Totally Israel."

The scientific study was controversial in some circles but received support from experts in other parts of the world as well. "I concur with the findings," said Professor Mohammed al Muhamad in London. "Even here in the unbiased United Kingdom, we can confidently state that the nation of Israel is solely to blame for the problems in the Middle East. Not the other dozen countries ruled by crazy Muslims."

At publishing time, an impartial coalition of Middle Eastern countries that are Islamic dictatorships presented a solution to solve tensions in the region by wiping Israel off the map.

“These [genocide] claims have no factual basis. However, the scale of this propaganda has created an environment that contributed to social radicalisation and the escalation of militant antisemitism across Australia. The normalisation of unproven genocide allegations has created an environment in which Jews who support Israel are routinely demonised and marginalised.”


All that disregards what Israel's leaders themselves have said:


"Israel has descended to a whole new level of criminality that clearly meets the definition of genocide under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide: “acts intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the Palestinian national, racial and ethnic group.”

"... the statements of senior Israeli officials demonstrating genocidal intent ... (proves) that Israel is deliberately fighting a war against the entire Palestinian population of Gaza...

"Prime Minister Netanyahu: invoking the Biblical story of the total destruction of the Amalek by the Israelites, which Biblical passage reads in relevant part: “Spare no one, but kill alike men and women, infants and sucklings, oxen and sheep, camels and asses.”

President Herzog: “It’s an entire nation out there that is responsible. It’s not true this rhetoric about civilians not aware not involved. It’s absolutely not true.”

Minister of Defense Gallant:  Israel is “imposing a complete siege on Gaza. No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

“Gaza won’t return to what it was before. We will eliminate everything. If it doesn’t take one day, it will take a week. It will take weeks or even months, we will reach all places.”

Minister for National Security Ben-Gvir: “[t]o be clear, when we say that Hamas should be destroyed, it also means those who celebrate, those who support, and those who hand out candy — they’re all terrorists, and they should also be destroyed.”

Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Katz: “All the civilian population in Gaza is ordered to leave immediately. We will win. They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world.”

Minister of Finance Smotrich: “We need to deal a blow that hasn’t been seen in 50 years and take down Gaza.”

Minister of Agriculture Dichter: “We are now actually rolling out the Gaza Nakba.”

Knesset Deputy Speaker and Foreign Affairs and Security Committee Member Vaturi: “Now we all have one common goal — erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth.”

"Israeli military officials have echoed their political leaders’ calls to genocide: Israeli Reservist Major General and adviser to the Defense Minister Eiland: “This is what Israel has begun to do — we cut the supply of energy, water and diesel to the Strip . . . But it’s not enough. In order to make the siege effective, we have to prevent others from giving assistance to Gaza . . . The people should be told that they have two choices; to stay and to starve, or to leave. If Egypt and other countries prefer that these people will perish in Gaza, this is their choice.”

"Ninety-five-year-old Ezra Yachin, a veteran of the Deir Yassin massacre during the 1948 Nakba, called up for reserve duty as a motivational speaker to “boost morale” among Israeli troops ahead of the ground invasion, said to social media while being driven around in an Israeli army vehicle, in IDF fatigues:  “Be triumphant and finish them off and don’t leave anyone behind. Erase the memory of them. Erase them, their families, mothers and children. These animals can no longer live . . . Every Jew with a weapon should go out and kill them. If you have an Arab neighbour, don’t wait, go to his home and shoot him . . . We want to invade, not like before, we want to enter and destroy what’s in front of us, and destroy houses, then destroy the one after it. With all of our forces, complete destruction, enter and destroy. As you can see, we will witness things we’ve never dreamed of. Let them drop bombs on them and erase them.”

..."the only possible conclusion:

"The above statements by Israeli decision-makers and military officials indicate in and of themselves a clear intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza as a group “as such.” They also constitute clear direct and public incitement to genocide, which has gone unchecked and unpunished. The clear inference from the acts of the Israeli army on the ground — including from the vast number of civilians killed and injured, and the scale of displacement, destruction and devastation wrought in Gaza — is that those genocidal statements and directives are being implemented against the Palestinian people."

Not at all.

The claim of Islamic positive impact on the world is total bollocks.

Islam is a negative in all encounters with it, evil more often than not. When not, it is laughably stupid. 

You walk around Australia and look at its adherents. They look, act, sound stupid. It appeals to, and therefore attracts, the basest, stupidest people.

If you are a grown up and haven't left Islam you are a moron.

Like I said, you can't face facts.

And if you want to see evil, look at the actions of the racist genocidal state of Israel.
