Didnt read all of the above. One thing is for sure, those who call themselves Israelis are immigrants, they should go back where they came from. It seems Europeans and Americans don't like Jews so they want to dump them all in the land of Palestine, that is not a smart thing to do, because since day one there has been conflict, that is what is bound to happen, its common sense, use your brain Zionists!
I'm having problems categorizing you and you intelligent reply . Should I call you differently abled ? Should I consider you a troll ? Maybe you are selectively perceptive ? Could you please argue your point of view ?
Hmmm... so are most Americans and Australians? not to mention all of the Muslims who live in the western world?
They came from all over the world, this is fact, how can a people from all over the world decide to go to a land which is already occupied, plus demolish homes there, kick out their residents and make it their home, use your brain, that type of behavior is asking for retaliation and long lasting conflict. As for the Muslims living in the west, then they are there legally, its called immigration, people emigrate all the time, there is no problem with that as long it is legal. The Zionists don't like peaceful immigration, they like to come, take over, demolish homes, kill people, steal resources and wealth and turn Palestinians into refugees. I think you get the point.
Muslims have the highest rate of violence in the EU and most of the rioters in France where Muslim . Should we kick you guys out and machine gun you ? Perhaps even nuke a couple of places like Algeria , Morocco , Pakistan or India ? Should we ? Huh ?
You obviously lack mental well being to communicate in a proper fashion, I no longer converse with individuals like you, please do not address me again. Thank You
Lol m8 the population of Palestine was about 500,000 when the Zionist movement started, whilst the population of Vienna, where Thedore Herzl lived, was about three times that. No one got kicked out of their homes until the Arabs started a war. You're also seemingly a hypocrit on immigrants. Why was Jewish immigration starting in the 1800's to Palestine illegal but Muslim immigration to the West legal?
So are the Muslims in the west. Escaping the misery poverty bigotry and ignorance in their countries from all over the world. So are the Muslims in the west, coming to lands which are already occupied. So are the Muslims in the west, want to make Sharia law, import their inferior culture into a supreme liberal western culture, and brutalize anybody who criticizes their ridiculous religion. use your brain. In Palestine, on the other hand, no one was kicked out before the Palestinians decided to attack, and lost. Of course. The Zionists immigrated legally as well. Have you heard of the Balfour Declaration? check out wikipedia. If the point is that you can't think, then certainly I got the point.
The fact is that Zionists are immigrants no matter how you try to sugar coat it, no one can argue against this. To also say Muslims are immigrants in other lands is irrelevant since we are not even talking about Muslims, this just shows your ignorance, Palestinians consist of not just Muslims but Christians and Jews too. Nevertheless, I maintain that Muslims are living legally in other countries, there is no problem in going to another country as long you go there and abide by the law. And the fact that you try to sugar coat all the criminal activities of the Zionists raises questions as to why you are so supportive of them. Do you hate Jews? Do you want to dump them all in the land of Palestine? I think that is what it is.
The ones who immigrated to Palestine/Israel were immigrants, obviously-it's in the name. Not the ones who were born there. So did European Zionists before Israel was created. They migrated to Palestine and started buying up land from Arabs. Then they got attacked. Why are you being a hypocrit? Why was Jewish immigration starting in the 1800's to Palestine illegal but Muslim immigration to the West legal?
@Darpie, I have no idea what your talking about sir. Now, this behavior of going to someone else land, committing genocide, demolish homes and steal wealth is not new, does the annihilation of the Indians in America and the aboriginals in Australia ring any bells? Every time people commit crimes they always make up excuses and launch propaganda. Do what is right, think for yourself, do not blind follow others just because they share the same skin color or are from the same country, be a man enough to say the truth. Reminder: Zionists go to palestine > They Kill people > They Steal Land > And eventually create a state > Now they are crying that freedom fighters are retaliating.
Keep up the attitude num nuts and deny any attempt at peace in another 50 years of conflict the Merkavas would have crushed you completely .
Right. Most Palestinians were immigrated as well. The Brittons needed people to build railroads, bridges, buildings. etc'. Funny how the Muslims remember that the Palestinians are not only Muslims only when its convenient There were also Christian zionists, and still today many Christian zionists exists. Additionally, in the Israeli Army u'll find Christians, Druze, Beduoin, and even Muslim Arabs too, such as my friend. The jews who came to Palestine abide the law and were invited by the British. The Arabs were the first to attack, and pay the price. Because if we look at the middle east today, Israel is the only point of enlightenment, scientific excellence, gay rights, women rights, progress, and tolerance. And its neighbors are barbaric middle-ages countries. This is why I support Israel, I support my kind - the progressive and intellectual, and I don't support the primitive, barbaric and bloodthirsty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udDXUZEYUIc enjoy the barbarism. This is simply historically wrong.
Its a very well-known fact that the so-called "Israelis" today are made up of communities of immigrants from Eastern Europe, Ethiopia and various parts of the Middle East.
So called Israelis huh ? You know I've never seen an differently abled person saying that Jew ain't Jews . But I guess there's always a first when it comes to stupidity .
