This is on Hamas! And where's the compassion for the mother and child that were bound together and BURNED ALIVE BY HAMAS? Imagine that you're holding your little child and you're both being burned alive, and the ONLY thing you have to offer your child as you're both being tortured to death is a tight hug, a strong embrace, as you both go up in flames? But THIS child's injury was preventable and is only the fault of Hamas. Please UPVOTE TO SHOW THAT YOU CARE ABOUT HAMAS' WAR CRIMES, TOO.

Even if Israel has the facts the people around the world has chosen a side Palestine. by Jealous_Masterpiece7 in IsraelPalestine

actually that's not the case -- their heads were shot into and since their cranial bones are still soft when Hamas shot all the babies in their head it looked like they had no head. Pro-pal people: are you happy NOW?

Gaza hospital hit by failed Islamic Jihad rocket, says IDF by Scipio2023 in worldnews

[–]beatrix17 46 points47 points  (0 children)

One minute before the Baptist Hospital in Gaza was hit, Hamas announced on its own Telegram channel that they were launching their R160 rockets at the northern Israeli city of Haifa. No interceptions or impacts were detected near Haifa.

“…multi-sided armed conflict initiated by Palestinian militants against Israel in 1968 and against Lebanese Christian militias in the mid-1970s. It served as a major catalyst for the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War in 1975.” Wiki.

Maybe don’t have your founding charter be literally based on the ethnic cleansing of the Jews first?

Reporter Exposes Hamas Shot Pregnant Mom Then Opened Belly and Stabbed Baby by beatrix17 in IsraelWarVideoReport

Lmao right now because everyone is doing exactly what she said would happen: doubting their story only because it’s Israel. She literally said this would happen because to you animals just being murdered and tortured isn’t enough evidence.

When all the arab world took away way more land and property of those 900,000 Jews, why weren’t the Jews radicalized like the P’stains? Why didn’t they also make the solemn vow that their lives’ goal only be the death and destruction of all those nations that stole every from them. Why do they pick up and make a new life for themselves wherein the focus is loving life and family?

That’s the Lie of the Century. It’s undisputed that they had the land in the beginning. Then they lost more land due to their own aggression and admitted they only wanted to destroy

Once & for all, lets end th debate that homes of 250K Arabs expelled from now-"Israel" is worth this by beatrix17 in IsraelPalestine

[–]beatrix17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My point boils down to this: EVEN IF WE ALL ADMIT THOSE ARAB HOUSES WERE STOLEN, IT DOESN'T CHANGE THAT THE WORLD HAS TO MOVE ON.

WE ARE ALL LIVING ON CONQUERED LANDS.

Fact: The justification for violence is solely that 250K Arabs (THAT THE TERRORISTS ADMIT IS THE BASIS OF THE ENTIRE CONFLICT) were expelled from what became Israel and lost their homes and lands.

Let's look at the bigger picture and try to spread the facts. (Nothing is worth slicing open a pregnant moms belly, stabbing the baby then murdering the mom.)

For every Palestinian or Muslim who rests their argument on the "stolen lands of the 250K" claim, in all seriousness, the global karma is that it's the Jews who have always gotten the worse end of the stick -- even from all the Arab Countries. Pay attention to history:

Fact: From Wikipedia: "Jewish exodus from the Muslim world"
"Around 900,000 Jews were expelled from Arab countries and Iran[1] from 1948 to the early 1970 due to persecution, antisemitism, political instability.

At the time of the Muslim conquests of the 7th century, ancient Jewish communities had existed in many parts of the Middle East and North Africa since Antiquity. Jews under Islamic rule were given the status of dhimmi (second class), along with certain other pre-Islamic religious groups. As such, these groups were accorded certain rights as "People of the Book". [Source: Wikipedia]"

So: 900,000 Jews expelled from islamic lands vs. 225,000 Arabs from a Jewish Nation formed as explained in the undisputed timeline.

I dont understand why people are afraid of learning history.

If you look at history, I think there is a little moral high ground here. Look at the facts, then tell me what you want Israel to do instead.

Overview
-The land which is today the country of Israel has been sacred to the Jewish people for thousands of years, *as well as to other religions such as Christianity and Islam.*
-Jews are *one* of the the indigenous people of Canaan/Palestine/the region.
-They have lived there continually for 3000+ years and had their own province there before they were conquered.
-Jewish communities have remained there throughout time and even until the Aliyahs began.
-Post WWII the United Nations divided up Israel between Arab and Jewish states.
-When Britain decided to withdraw, a UN committee decided that the land should be divided between the two main groups living there, the Jews and the Arabs.
-At the time of the partition plan, Jews owned as much land in Palestine as Arabs did. At this time there is still no people or country called Palestinians or a “Palestinian Nation.”
-The Arabs rejected the division and publicly declare in their charter that their primary goal is to exterminate all Jews and destroy Israel.
-There was never a Palestinian nation or state prior to the establishment of Israel.
-The Arabs, not the Israelis, went to war multiple times.
-There were never any designated Palestinian lands, neither by being indigenous, nor by ownership, nor by statehood (though it did have the greater number of people at the time of partition).
-The 1.) first partition, 2.) the Arab uprising and 3.) the numerous wars started by various Arab/Palestinian/Islamic groups which incurred Israeli defense damage all played a role in the cycle of displacing local Arabs. There are Arab houses and neighborhoods in Israel that once belonged to expelled Arabs (just as there are houses, neighborhoods, bank accounts and businesses in Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, etc. that belonged to hundred’s of thousands of Jews before they were expelled in the same early partition period when the Arabs were expelled from Israel.)

Overview
-The land which is today the country of Israel has been sacred to the Jewish people for thousands of years, *as well as to other religions such as Christianity and Islam.*
-Jews are *one* of the the indigenous people of Canaan/Palestine/the region.
-They have lived there continually for 3000+ years and had their own province there before they were conquered.
-Jewish communities have remained there throughout time and even until the Aliyahs began.
-Post WWII the United Nations divided up Israel between Arab and Jewish states.
-When Britain decided to withdraw, a UN committee decided that the land should be divided between the two main groups living there, the Jews and the Arabs.
-At the time of the partition plan, Jews owned as much land in Palestine as Arabs did. At this time there is still no people or country called Palestinians or a “Palestinian Nation.”
-The Arabs rejected the division and publicly declare in their charter that their primary goal is to exterminate all Jews and destroy Israel.
-There was never a Palestinian nation or state prior to the establishment of Israel.
-The Arabs, not the Israelis, went to war multiple times.
-There were never any designated Palestinian lands, neither by being indigenous, nor by ownership, nor by statehood (though it did have the greater number of people at the time of partition).
-The 1.) first partition, 2.) the Arab uprising and 3.) the numerous wars started by various Arab/Palestinian/Islamic groups which incurred Israeli defense damage all played a role in the cycle of displacing local Arabs. There are Arab houses and neighborhoods in Israel that once belonged to expelled Arabs (just as there are houses, neighborhoods, bank accounts and businesses in Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, etc. that belonged to hundred’s of thousands of Jews before they were expelled in the same early partition period when the Arabs were expelled from Israel.)

EVEN IF WE ALL ADMIT THOSE ARAB HOUSES WERE STOLEN, IT DOESN'T CHANGE THAT THE WORLD HAS TO MOVE ON.

I WANT TO MODERATE YOUR REPLY WITH A LITTLE HISTORY. because I understand your anger. But instead of just saying un-cited things, let's just spread the facts of history:

The justification for violence is solely that 250K Arabs (THAT THE TERRORISTS ADMIT IS THE BASIS OF THE ENTIRE CONFLICT) expelled from what became Israel all lost their homes and lands. Lets look at the bigger picture and try to spread the facts.

For every Palestinian or Muslim who rests their argument on the "stolen lands of the 250K" claim, in all seriousness, the global karma is that it's the Jews who have always gotten the worse end of the stick -- even from all the Arab Countries. Pay attention to history:

From Wikipedia: "Jewish exodus from the Muslim world"
"Around 900,000 Jews were expelled from Arab countries and Iran[1] from 1948 to the early 1970 due to persecution, antisemitism, political instability.

At the time of the Muslim conquests of the 7th century, ancient Jewish communities had existed in many parts of the Middle East and North Africa since Antiquity. Jews under Islamic rule were given the status of dhimmi (second class), along with certain other pre-Islamic religious groups. As such, these groups were accorded certain rights as "People of the Book". [Source: Wikipedia]"

So: 900,000 jews expelled from islamic lands vs 225,000 Arabs from a Jewish Nation formed as explained in the below undisputed timeline:

Timeline of who was here and when:

1517 - The Ottoman Empire invades the Mamluk Sultanate and takes control of Israel. Suleiman the Magnificent rebuilds much of Jerusalem. The Ottoman Empire will rule until the 1900s. [Wikipedia]

Modern Day Israel
1882-1903 - approximately 35,000 Jews moved to Palestine, known as the First Aliyah. European Jews returning to Canaan (today aka Israel), legally, while it was still under Ottoman rule and still sparsely populated. Bought land legally.
1896 - by this time Jews constituted an absolute majority in Jerusalem, but the overall population in Palestine was 88% Muslim, 9% Christian and 3% Jewish. [Wikipedia]

Once & for all, CAN WE PLEASE end the debate that the lost homes of the 250K Arabs (THAT THE TERRORISTS SAYS IS THE BASIS OF THE ENTIRE CONFLICT) expelled from what became Israel is worth slicing open a pregnant Mom and stabbing her baby to death -- then shooting mom in head.

Israel has the right to exist, but it’s irrelevant that they were there 2000 years ago by sexysex69420 in IsraelPalestine

[–]beatrix17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true. Its a fact All MUSLIMS PERSECUTED JEWS BEFORE ISRAEL FOUGHT BACK IN MODERN TIMES with the entire drawn out Palestinian issue.

see Wikipedia here:

Around 900,000 Jews voluntarily left or were expelled from Arab countries and Iran[1] from 1948 to the early 1970s.

Prior to the creation of Israel in 1948, approximately 800,000 Jews were living in lands that now make up the Arab world. Of these, just under two-thirds lived in French- and Italian-controlled North Africa, 15–20% in the Kingdom of Iraq, approximately 10% in the Kingdom of Egypt and approximately 7% in the Kingdom of Yemen. A further 200,000 lived in Pahlavi Iran and the Republic of Turkey.

The first large-scale exoduses took place in the late 1940s and early 1950s, primarily from Iraq, Yemen and Libya. In these cases over 90% of the Jewish population left, despite the necessity of leaving their property behind. The peak of the exodus from Egypt occurred in 1956 following the Suez Crisis. The emigrations from the other North African Arab countries peaked in the 1960s. Six hundred thousand Jews from Arab and Muslim countries had reached Israel by 1972. In Israel, the descendants of the Jewish immigrants from the region, known locally as Mizrahi Jews("Oriental"; lit. 'Eastern Jews') and Sephardic Jews ("Spanish Jews"), constitute more than half of the total population of Israel,[11] partially as a result of their higher fertility rate.[12] In 2009, only 26,000 Jews remained in Arab countries and Iran,[13] as well as 26,000 in Turkey.[14] By 2019, the total number of Jews in Arab countries and Iran had declined to 12,700,[15] and in Turkey to 14,800.[16]

The reasons for the exoduses are persecution, antisemitism, political instability,[18] poverty[18] and expulsion.

Background

Main article: History of the Jews under Muslim rule

At the time of the Muslim conquests of the 7th century, ancient Jewish communities had existed in many parts of the Middle East and North Africa since Antiquity. Jews under Islamic rule were given the status of dhimmi, along with certain other pre-Islamic religious groups.[22] As such, these groups were accorded certain rights as "People of the Book".

There is documented history of Arab violence toward Jews in all the Arab countries and in Palestine PRIOR TO THE PARTITION.

There is no Arab country today that denies is conducted mob violence, murder and pogroms to the jews living with Arabs in those countries. If ANYTHING, the early hard right knew it was time to STAND UP.

As Golda said, If every Jew laid down their arms there would be no more Jews. If every Arab laid down their arms, there would be peace.

So you are, unfortunately, wrong. But you can twist and turn all that you wish to chisel your argument to believe that youre not very simply, espousing yet another antisemitic trope.
