U.N. Votes 151-6 to disavow Israeli ties to Jerusalem :0

In their defense, it's because evil people pushed the lie upon them and, given their own antisemitic tendencies, they lapped it up like hungry dogs.

 

That would be the smart move. Unfortunately, the only supplies the other Arab (and one Persian) nations give them are guns, rockets and suicide belts. Hard to build a country on those.

 

While the nation of Palestine never existed, except as a Mandate of the British. .

 

Actually we could say that the Arab "allies" of the Palestinians seem more interested in keeping the tense in the area high than to give a state to them.

It happens I wonder how Palestinians still trust their supposed friends. But the dynamics of ME are well beyond the human capability to understand ...

 

Most Israelis are descended from Jews who Immigrated from Arab nations or Jews who have lived in Palestine for generations.

 

I did not realize that. Here is an interesting exchange on the topic:

If we pulled out then it appears that taxes could be collected from the UN and all forms of diplomatic immunity be removed.

 

IMHO, the smart Palestinians either stayed in their homes and adapted to the Israeli government or moved to other countries and made homes there. The dumb ones stayed in refugee camps on the border of Israel and were baited into believing they'd get their homes back as soon as the Jews were annihilated. That day, of course, never came and now the Palestinians have evolved into a death cult with no further ambition than to martyr themselves killing Jews.

 

I suspect a lot of people with strong ties to Israel are large contributors to American politicians in positions of power. That could have a lot to do with trump acknowledging Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

 

very true but do not mistake that as American Jews. I found and posted an article which said a poll done just a month or two ago said just 16% of American Jews agreed with Trump doing what he has just done. Of course there are the 16% but do not forget the Christian Zionists. They are who I keep finding people believe are behind this.

 

Yes, like a lot of people with strong ties to Russia are large contributors to American politicians in positions of power. Other countries too.

 

Christian Zionists? Is that the PC form of Jew-Lover for antisemitics?

 

They do when they are surrounded by Islamic Countries who vow to destroy the Jews.

 

You do not know who Christian Zionists are. I suggest you do a little search and do not come back to the forum until you have given yourself such basic education.

Well this is difficult to answer because you are right Christian Zionists are considered by most people to be antisemites. Can you explain what you are meaning by 'PC form of Jew-Lover for antisemitics?' that is a strange word you have there antisemitics. I don't think I have heard that one before.

Christian Zionists want to put all Jews in Israel and get their Armageddon and Rapture - a situation where most if not all Jews will die, depending on who is talking so most people believe Christian Zionists are antisemites.

 

I think the Arab League of nations would probably disagree. And the Muslims would rather create Islamic states.

 

Most jews of Israel are descended from Jews who immigrated from Arab nations or jews who have lived in Israel for centuries.

 

Translation: **** you. Go figure it out for yourself.

Where would I find this information, dear? On a PLO or Hamas website?

 

More correctly - if they had, the WB would possibly not be part of Israel, as it is today.
I say possibly as it is likely said Palestinian state would have been involved in any/all of the post 1948 wars and overtaken by Israel.

 

East Prussia comes to mind.

 

Right/wrong is not a popularity contest.

 

And yet, it is the only sound explanation of the near universal hatred of Israel across the Arab/Western world.

 

All the subsequent wars stemmed from the initial decision of the arabs to reject the UN compromise and drive the Jews into the sea

But you could be right

 

And there still isn't. So, make it no arab state or israeli state. Problem solved.

 

Then it would make sense to put that tiny country in the USA.
Not in the middle of its enemies.
Maybe the US can give them land next to the natives we stuck on little plots of land.


They (Israel) have nukes, they run state sponsored terrorism.

 

Completely irrelevant.

 

Ditto for Israel. Mute point on your part.
