Israel, Opinions?

Israel & Palestine Forum

The conflict is undoubtedly complicated, but I've been wondering, how is that Muslims seem to blame Israel for all of their problems when it is their Muslim brethren that refused to give them refuge after they were displaced?

Now, I understand that not all Muslims have identical beliefs, but since the nations immediately surrounding Israel are Islamic first and foremost it would seem to me that they would want to care for other Muslims and not place them in refugee camps. After all, didn't the Arab leaders declare the war in the name of Islam?

H@ts,

I don't understand why you're patronizing me. I am genuinely curious. As for the why the US doesn't take them, the US wasn't the one declaring war to push the Jews into the sea to make a land for Muslims. That doesn't mean that the US shouldn't do more to help, but as far as I can tell, it wasn't the US who messed up in the first place.

Don't you think "how is that Muslims seem to blame Israel for all of their problems" is a loaded question? What particular Muslims are you talking about? Despite your view that the Isrealis are the victims in the region, it is in fact the Palestinians who are being pushed "into the sea".

My apologies, I didn't mean to load it, I did want it to be broad enough that you would have enough flexibility to respond how you want. And if you're so confident that I'm wrong, could you enlighten me and tell me how so I won't be so ignorant in the future?

Ringtoss don’t apologize for asking an intelligent and obvious question. With that response h@ts gave you, he should be a politician himself.

So how about some facts here? The Palestinians are neither the first nor the last refugees in the history of this planet but they do indeed hold the record for being the longest. Why is that? Glad you asked.

H@ts always fade back to his patronizing persona when asked about the way Arabs are treating Palestinians. Palestinians are forbidden to live, work, go to school, used hospitals or even marry another Arab in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon or Egypt. They get their gasoline, food & humanitarian aid from Israel and the West while they get their guns, bullets and explosive vests from Arab/Muslims all over the M.E.

Now it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why Palestinians are so dependant on Israel for their survival and why they’re still in those camps today. Their plight could have been resolved decades ago by being absorbed into Jordan. After all, Jordan got ¾ of the land they screamed about Israel stealing in the first place but I forgot…..Palestinians aren’t even allowed to use the public toilet in Jordan. And this too is all Israel’s fault!!!!!

See, but this is my point! Why/how did this happen? As far as I can tell, Islam is a very peaceful religion, but it seems that they cannot come together on any one topic other than the bloodshed of Israelis and Westerners. How can we solve this? Community leaders, schools, parents and every other person that holds influence over the next generation is not preaching peace, please correct me if I'm wrong, but Palestinian schools don't teach that there is an Israel, etc.

Any ideas?

250,000 so-called "palestinians" were ejected from Kuwait (arab brothers) for their misguided, ridiculous and assinine support of saddam hussein

Israel needs to start ejecting

I think it's counter-productive to call one group "the good guys" and the other group "the bad guys."

Especially on the basis that "the good guys" are the richer and stronger ones.
