Life is wow!

Why can't Jews have a homeland, and now they have it but why are people trying to destroy it?

Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists all have their own nation. So why can't Jews have one??? And now they have it but their neighbours are trying to destroy it!! They say it does not exist!! You can't say that because Israel is recognized internationally and is on the map!!

Ms.Miche
Well hello there ♥A Suomalainen for PEACE NOW♥,

What a lovely name you have. Welcome to the Israel Category. I am sure you already read some of the hateful posts to your question. Those are written by angry and shameful people who have poison in their hearts.

The good news is that they help us prove exactly why Israel exists. We must have a Jewish state because of all the anti Semitism that exists in this world. We have had to deal with anti Semitism throughout the ages. If there was no anti Semitism, there would have been no need for Israel in the first place. Those who oppose Israel make Israel a necessary state for the Jewish people.

I for one would never feel comfortable living in another country where people who live there would call me "Zionist", "the jew" or claim that Israel does not exist. Hence it is precisely their opposition that brought on that which they now deny - ISRAEL.

They are trying to convince you that small groups like Satmars are against Israel. The reason those groups are against Israel is because they are the most recognizable Jews because of the way they dress. During WWII they were some of the first to be sent to concentration camps and gas chambers. It was easy to single them out because of there appearance. Today, those recognizable Jews live their lives in fear, particularly when they live outside of Israel. They worry that if someday anti Semtisim becomes a fatal threat, they will be able to say: "Please don't kill us, remember, we oppose Israel and even wrote books about it." They think this will save their lives. Unfortunately, the joke is on them, for they will be murdered just for being Jewish, having nothing to do with their political views. Likewise, the Jews who were turned into Nazi's police in Jewish concentration camps were murdered by Nazis after they had served their purpose.

By the way, notice those who deny the name Israel and it's existence on the map. That is a sure sign of an impostor.

The desire for the destruction of Israel comes from anti Semitism, hate, anger and jealousy. It is as simple as that. Her existence are for the exact same reasons.

Thank you for your love and caring - it is very much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Ms. Miche ; })

I agree with you that they have the right for a home land !
But why dont they go find an emty spot on this earth and live there instead of kicking Millions of native people out of their lands ( Without mentioning other crimes )

The danger of this virus ( Israel ) Is that it is trying to spread and it is creating desease in whole middle east not just in Palestine!!!

Why can't Jews have a homeland ? I wouldn't say Jews but Zionists or radical Israelis...
That is because they dont really belong to this planet anymore and all they want is distruction of human kind!!!

Israel nationally recognized and its on the map !!!
By who ? This world system that recognise this racist country is falling so it wont be recognized...

Almost all nations today are multicultural and it hurts them not; the only official "ethnic states" are Iceland ("Nordic") and yours ("Jewish"). America has seven million jews who prosper; Canada 500,000; similarly France,Australia and Great Britain. There is no credibility to the fundamentally bigoted idea that jews require a "just for jews" social environment for themselves,still less that they have any right to displace the indigenous population ( which Iceland did not),what to speak of seizing the most religiously sensitive place on earth,namely Palestine or The Holy Land as it is also known to Christians and Muslims alike. Nor is it 'their neighbors" who are trying to "destroy" it; it is the scourge of human-rights activists and progressives generally throughout the world and as far "destroying" it I assume you are pretending to conflate the dismantling of a rogue state with genocide. Yugoslavia was dismantled with minimal loss of life; it exists no longer,but the people have survived.
As to being "recognized" 75% of the territory it claims is deemed as illegal occupation by every nation of earth and yes,you will find that indicated most clearly in any atlas.
As to the neighbors,as I understand it the good people of Lebanon would also prefer a different government in Palestine since it is undesirable to be incessantly invaded and carpet-bombed. Syria would appreciate the return of the Golan Heights and they also dislike air attacks,I guess they're just sensitive that way.
I hope I have answered your question,the tone of which was I thought rather hysterical and the content more propaganda that question.

You must try to undestand the mind set of groups like Hamas, Hezbul and Iran. With no education and leaders of terror to guide them they know only the murder of innocents.

I think that Jews deserve a homeland.


zion no more
Jews don't want their own homeland. It is the zionists that claim to want one. It is just an excess for war though. Read some of the history around ersatz israel, and keep an eye on their newspapers. You will learn what is happening then.


dalia
Ok dear somalian friend,if you are so troubled and sad about the negativity towards jews,take them to somalia,let them have a homeland at your land,and we will see how your people will reacte.

Ok...people are bashing Palestinians for being greedy, but stop and think for just a minute. Where is Palestine? If there is no Palestine then why are you calling them Palestinians. These people had a country and now they don't have a home. Why don't you feel sorry for them? Everything got stripped from them. They fought and won the country fair and square. Then the U.S. gives it to the Jewish people. The Palestinians did exactly what American did to the Native Americans. The United States belonged to the Native Americans and we came in and brutally took it away from them. Several years later we are one of the strongest countries. How would we feel if another country gave our homes back to the Native Americans and were told to leave our land or that we would be given no rights to live there? We wouldn't be too happy about that because we feel like this is now our land and we would rather share it than to have it taken away. Palestinians and Jews should both be able to split up Israel so that Palestinians can have a home too. It's the Jews who are being greedy.

The Israeli leaders have no peace plan for Israel. The only plan they are allowed to have is to destroy Israel.

Jews do deserve a homeland, but what you need to realize is that their current homeland was stolen. There were people who lived there who did not agree with the UN announcing that their land would be sliced in half. Furthermore, Israel has taken land from neighboring countries. Both of these naturally antagonize their neighbors--particularly the millions left homeless.


John E
I do not think that there is anyone on this planet that thinks that the Jews must not have a place to call Home.
It's only that this home of theirs, it was chosen by the wrong leaders , the wrong time at the most wrong place ever.
To me the States would sound more like the land of milk and honey.
or the Promised Land.
Israel doesn't stand a chance to be a free and peaceful country.
Not in 1000 years I am afraid.
Money and Fanaticism don't buy a "home".
Only peace and good neighboring relations do.

No reason you can't have a homeland however nobody has the right to deprive one people a home for another.

It's like you have a right to own a home but you don't have the right to kick someone out of his house for yourself.

Jews have a right to a home but so do the palestinians its not right at all to force the Palestinians to leave their legit homeworld


Παλαιστίνη ღ2023
they don't have the right to steal our land , if they took your home ! would you be happy then , think like that !!!!!

its called greed and jealousy.the "palestinians" believe that israel belongs to them, but as everyone knows it belongs to the jewish people.the palestinians mostly come from jordan.The term "Palestine" is believed to be derived from the Philistines, an Aegean people who, in the 12th Century B.C.E., settled along the Mediterranean coastal plain of what are now Israel and the Gaza Strip. In the second century C.E., after crushing the last Jewish revolt, the Romans first applied the name Palaestina to Judea (the southern portion of what is now called the West Bank) in an attempt to minimize Jewish identification with the land of Israel. The Arabic word "Filastin" is derived from this Latin name.3

The Hebrews entered the Land of Israel about 1300 B.C.E., living under a tribal confederation until being united under the first monarch, King Saul. The second king, David, established Jerusalem as the capital around 1000 B.C.E. David's son, Solomon built the Temple soon thereafter and consolidated the military, administrative and religious functions of the kingdom. The nation was divided under Solomon's son, with the northern kingdom (Israel) lasting until 722 B.C.E., when the Assyrians destroyed it, and the southern kingdom (Judah) surviving until the Babylonian conquest in 586 B.C.E. The Jewish people enjoyed brief periods of sovereignty afterward before most Jews were finally driven from their homeland in 135 C.E.

Jewish independence in the Land of Israel lasted for more than 400 years. This is much longer than Americans have enjoyed independence in what has become known as the United States.4 In fact, if not for foreign conquerors, Israel would be 3,000 years old today.

Palestine was never an exclusively Arab country, although Arabic gradually became the language of most the population after the Muslim invasions of the seventh century. No independent Arab or Palestinian state ever existed in Palestine. When the distinguished Arab-American historian, Princeton University Prof. Philip Hitti, testified against partition before the Anglo-American Committee in 1946, he said: "There is no such thing as 'Palestine' in history, absolutely not."5

Prior to partition, Palestinian Arabs did not view themselves as having a separate identity. When the First Congress of Muslim-Christian Associations met in Jerusalem in February 1919 to choose Palestinian representatives for the Paris Peace Conference, the following resolution was adopted:

We consider Palestine as part of Arab Syria, as it has never been separated from it at any time. We are connected with it by national, religious, linguistic, natural, economic and geographical bonds.6

In 1937, a local Arab leader, Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, told the Peel Commission, which ultimately suggested the partition of Palestine: "There is no such country [as Palestine]! 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria."7

The representative of the Arab Higher Committee to the United Nations submitted a statement to the General Assembly in May 1947 that said "Palestine was part of the Province of Syria" and that, "politically, the Arabs of Palestine were not independent in the sense of forming a separate political entity." A few years later, Ahmed Shuqeiri, later the chairman of the PLO, told the Security Council: "It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria."8

Palestinian Arab nationalism is largely a post-World War I phenomenon that did not become a significant political movement until after the 1967 Six-Day War and Israel's capture of the West Bank.

Muslims don't realize where their religion comes from! Moreover, they cannot tolerate being anything but the rulers over somebody else--if you really understand Islam!

It's because they stole the land from the Palestinians, kicked them out, and are now forcing them to live in a tiny strip of land, and preventing them from recieving aids. That's why we want Israel gone, because we want the Palestinians to get their land back.


freegirl23
There is no country for Muslims only,Israels neighboring countries actually have a lot of Christan's in it and the only reason we don't accept Israel with us is because it has no rights to come in and destroy,scare, kill, and threaten the people. of Palestine.Israel is a stolen land and it's not there country what do you want with it!Get your own country let America give you one.You know your big brother that's giving you weapons to kill some more people who want there rights back.You want to stay in the middle east your welcome to as long as your living in Palestine not Israel and you don't murder.

As a Christian, I also don't know. Personally, I think the Arab nations are doing it for the sake of land resources. C'mon, land isn't pretty cheap you know.

But seriously, I agree with you. Israel is already recognized worldwide and they've defeated every attempt so far to have their land taken back from them, I only wonder how long they hold for the future.


J Q Public
They have one,don't be afraid of the non existent people. If they don't exist they can't harm Israel and if Israel don't exist they can't bother anyone either. It seems both sides are worried about something that don't exist. How are people dying from non existent threats?


ismail b
they deserv but not by stealing it from others that s not their place thats why is hard for them to be in peace


Qazy Wabit
Zionism is an international political movement . It is not Judaism. Nobody supports Zionism.
The Holy land was given to the Jewish people on the condition that they observe the Torah & its commandments. When they failed to do this , their sovereignty over the land was taken from them & they went into exile. From that time they are prohibited by the Torah to establish a Jewish independent sovereignty in the Holy land or anywhere throughout the world.
Suomalainen...even Jewish groups oppose "Israel", like Neturei Karta & Satma Hasidim. Read Vayoel Moshe by Satmar Rebbe Joel Teitelbaum. It asserts that zionism is forbidden in Judaism based on an aggadic passage in the Talmud , tractate Ketubot 111a.
None of their neighbours like them . They have to play football in the European Cup & sing in the Euro vision song contest !.. They are not even European.. ! Europeans dont treat their minorities with the inhumanity the zionist do.
Not even the zionist know where their borders are . Denying their existance is just commonsense . Buy a map from anywhere in half the world & " Israel" is not on it . Dont let the zionist tell you otherwise.
