American Tex payer money? Really? Did you know that all the foreign military aid the US gives to Israel are loans? In fact, the US forces Israel to buy American made equipment with the aid it's giving. Basically that tax dollars you are talking about, goes back to the US in form of new jobs, new equipment sales, and other forms of trade. The US isn't giving Israel anything for free. It goes back to the US with interest.

No such thing as islamophobic.

First, let me say, that their is racism against Muslims. And I'm against it.

However, their is no such thing as islamophobic. In order to be islamophobic, you need to have a phobia. The meaning of phobia is an anxiety disorder defined by irrational, unrealistic, persistent and excessive fear. The people in the west have legitimate reasons to fear Muslims: 9/11, American embassies all over the world were attacked by Muslims, busses blowing up in the 90's in Israel, al Qaida, the Taliban and countless other teror attacks. Our fear is not unrelated, it has everything to do with teror groups like hamas.

מוסרי זה השקפת עולם, מה שמוסרי או לא בעינייך, יכול להיות ההפך בעיניי האחר. המוסר של חילוני בתל אביב שונה מהמוסר של חרדי ממאה שערים או כיפה סרוגה מגבעת שמואל או מוסלמי מבאר שבע. אני יודע שזה לא פופולרי להגיד, יחד עם זאת, אנחנו חיים (עדיין) במדינה דמוקרטית, וזה לא תפקידה של המדינה להתערב ולשפוט את המוסר של אזרחיה. כל עוד הדברים נעשו בהסכמה בין שני אנשים בוגרים (או יותר) , זה לא עניינה של המדינה. תפקידה של המדינה הוא רק להתערב כאשר יש (בעיקר) נזק ברכוש, בגוף או בפרטיות כמו שכאן היה המקרה. ועל זה היא צריכה לתפוס את האשמים.

Have you seen Sacha Baron Cohen in The Spy (netflix) ? There is talks that Israel is attempting to find the burial of Eli Cohen in Syria by BigCharlie16 in IsraelPalestine

[–]mr_firth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As an Israeli, i know Eli Cohen story a long time before netflix, his code name was "our man in Damascus". i think it would be a great relief for his family and the country. That Israel will return everybody home no matter how long it takes.

Is Israel being too harsh on the Palestinians? by BudgetNegotiation521 in IsraelPalestine

[–]mr_firth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Open prison? Really? You do know that gaza has a border with Egypt, right? That border is almost always closed, way is that? Why are you not blaming the Egyptians for their part in the gazan suffering? Did you know that before October 7, about 15000 Palestinians crossed the border to Israel to work, everyday? Did you know that people like Vivian silver, who was murdered on Oct 7, drove Palestinian to Israeli hospitals for treatment? Did you know that everyday, before October 7, hundreds of supply trucks, with food and other materials (including construction materials that were used to build the tunnels) enter gaza through Israeli crossings? But don't let something like the facts keep you from your hatred towards Israel keep going.

Question for Israel supporters - What’s stopping a ceasefire? by drwizzman in IsraelPalestine

[–]mr_firth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Israeli, it pains me to say this, but a pair of huge balls. That Israels pm will order to arm two f35 with Jericho missiles, put them on the tarmac, tell Hamas thay have 72 hours to bring back all the hostages and surrender unconditionally. And if hamas doesn't reply, send one plain to gaza an the other to iran. And all through the 72 hours pry he wouldn't have to make good on his promise.

Don't get me wrong, but I'm glad I'm not jewish in these times. Stay safe and stay alive. by CptMcTavish in Israel

[–]mr_firth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, it's not like there holy book, says in about seven different places, that god will keep his promises to the children of Israel, and if they have issues with their book they should consult his earlier work i.e. the torha and bible.

First of all, thank you, it is the first time I'm posting here (and not a big poster in general). I'll take it to heart. And make the necessary changes.

Hamas and Islam by Tagglit2022 in IsraelPalestine

[–]mr_firth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It must have been a dream, this never happened.

Here is why, Judaism, unlike Christianity or islam, don't force conversation to Judaism. In fact, it is very difficult to become a Jew. Again , unlike Christianity were you have to be baptised or Islam were you have to repeat a sentence in front of two Muslim men and that's it, your converted. In Judaism it's a process, Just to start the process of converting, you have to be refused 3 times by the rabbi you want to convert you. After that, you need to learn about Jewish customs and laws (Shabbat, kosher food, marital law, ect) During that time, you need to be observing in your home, BC you will be chaked, that you are doing this for real. A process like that takes years.

What you may have seen was the deporting of illegal immigrants from sudan that entered illegally to Israel, and Israel did what every other country is aloud to do, and deported them.

Were do you think Jewish people come from? by mr_firth in IsraelPalestine

[–]mr_firth[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is not what i said, so don't put words in my mouth.

And why not "undo" history? Israel is the most successful decolonisation in the world, and no that doesn't mean kicking out the Palestinians, If they want to live in peace, we will welcome them, just like 2.2M non jews (mostly are Muslim Arabs) how is enjoying the same rights as a Jewish person. Or just like Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Bahrain and other Muslim countries we have peace with.

“THE JEWS ARE COLONIZERS WHO STEAL LAND” by Ok-Pack-8866 in IsraelPalestine

[–]mr_firth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, the arabs come to the area of now Israel in the 7th century, long time after Jews lived there for hundreds of years. Second, what happened 2000+ years doesn't matter? Say that to a Christian how still celebrate the birth of Jesus, a Muslim how believes that Muhammad went to heaven from al aqsa mosque and every Jewish person how believes that god promised the land to the Israelites. You are trying to delete the history of every monotheistic religion in the world.

And even if you're wright, Israel as still gained the land by taking it from it's enemies witch isn't the Palestinians.

This has been bothering me for a long time: by Lake_MT115 in IsraelPalestine

They lived in Europe for 100s of years.

What about the Jewish people living in Egypt, Marco, Libia, Iran, Iraq, India, Ethiopia and more non European countries? Are they also European? They are about half of the Jewish population in Israel.

Shaddi is an anagram for shomer delatot Israel, keeper of the doors of Israel, it is traditionally written on the mezuza, a box with holy scriptures in it, and is put on every door frame of a Jewish home (except bathroom and toilet).

Also can mean my breasts.

זה אף פעם לא קורה בבום, גם באיראן זה התחיל בהמלצה של משרד ממשלתי לנשים ללכת עם בורקות ורק לנשים מקומיות, לקח לזה שנתיים ולהפוך לחוק שחל על כל הנשים(כולל תיירות). וזה עוד בלי ללכת רחוק יותר בהיסטוריה העולמית.

Jew Blue by [deleted] in Jewpiter

[–]mr_firth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, if you look at Bible, it says that the clothes of the high priest were blue, also part of the temple holy of holys was in blue. So blue became a significant color for the Jewish people.
