Quote from IShopAtPublix:
Israel is not soviet union, and if palestinians/arab(muslim) world behaved properly they would enjoy the benefits of a modern state. You would be hard pressed to explain why infant mortality in Israel is lower than any arab nation and even lower than in the US.
And you come in here bragging about your well rounded knowledge of the conflict.
You are correct! Israel is not the Soviet Union; Israel is more like Nazi Germany. All one has to do is to do an HONEST review of their actions against the Gaza Ghetto and compare it to the Warsaw Ghetto. Only then well that person is able to see the shocking compression.
Soviet Union did not ethnically cleanse East Germans, did not steal their land and did not use genocidal methods against them. Matter of fact, rather than ethnically cleans them, it made sure to keep them in. As we are speaking, Jerusalem is being emptied out from its Christian and Muslim inhabitant and there will come a day when the Al Aqsa mosque will collapse due to the Israeli infrastructure destruction below it and the Holly city's churches will be turned into Museums and night clubs like many other places of warship in the land that the state of Israel stole.
On the Issue of infant mortality in Israel, let me add that Israel's infant mortality is lower than the US thanks to the generous bribe money it receives from the US. Let me also add that Israel's percentage of people living under the poverty line is way lower than that of the US due to the heavy subsidies given by the US to every citizen living in Israel.
Germany was a great power before both world wars, dominant in science and technology with no ifs and buts. I used the example of WWII to show that if you have the right stuff losing a war will not necessarily preclude you from greatness. Palestinians and arab world in general don't amount to a hill of beans outside of oil production. That is what you need to understand first and foremost.
Again, you are making two mistakes!
1- You are combining Palestinians and Arabs in one category to paint a dark picture. I have proved to you that when Palestinians were given a chance, they excelled in every field but you seem to ignore that and resort to your regular rant.
And
2- Even after the Treaty of Versailles, Germany continued in being intact and its population never been decimated. As a matter of fact, Roosevelt insisted in allowing Germany's capabilities intact.
You need to go to the West Bank and see with your own eyes the effect of Israel's policies on the Palestinians. There is an intentional attempt to make the Palestinian population in the occupied territories desperate and destitute. There is an intentional attempt by Israel to destroy every viable mean of allowing the Palestinians to develop their own capability.
I am fully aware of the situation in palestine. Since I live in a free country I can access all kinds of info. I can go to amazon.com and order Mein Kampf or books on "evils of Israel Lobby", Jimmy Carters books, sites of David Duke, etc. "Zionists" don't prevent me from having access to info that criticizes Israel. In China, for example, Tiananmen Square protests don't exist as far as the state is concerned. They have been erased from history and if you go to google china you will not see a single reference to the topic, firewalls prevent all kinds of info critical of chinese government from being accessed on the internet. If you go and start trying to explain to people what happened in tiananmen you will be taken into a black car never to be seen again. THAT IS WHAT CONTROL OF INFORMATION IS. Let's see how much freedom one would have in Cairo going on the street and saying that Nasser was a pompous fool. Many people in that region believe that arabs actually "won" 1973 war (including you)
Even though you are not making sense, I will still tell you that all one has to do is to look at your one sided writing. As a matter of fact, all I hear from you is the exact false Zionist propaganda (to the tee), laced with concealed white supremacist and colonial views.
All you remind me of is the European settlers who arrived at the shores of New England and claimed that land was theirs because god gave them this holy land...Ring a bell??
You would not understand it because you don't live in north america.
Silly assumption.
Palestinian issue seems like a super important thing to you. But to people in the developed world it is but one of cases of people living a miserable existence. In essence, "take a number".
Exactly! Yet Israel's well being, a country which happened to be thousands of miles away from you, is front and center in any American foreign policy. Why is that IShop?
Nobody "lectured me". Objective reality is, Israel is a modern state and arab states without oil are hopeless and those with oil are temporarily buoyed but still backward. That infant mortality statistic I showed earlier is quite telling.
Here you go again with the broken record as if you are trying to repeat this argument so many times in hope of selling it.
If your argument holds true, Nazi Germany and South Africa were also modern states like Israel and the three of them carried or still carry Fascists atrocities. Yet you swallowed hook and sinker the evilness of Nazi Germany and S. Africa but managed somehow to justify Israel's crimes by its supposed modernity. Why is that IShop?
Israel exists and will continue to do so, regardless of people on the arab street think.
That is what the white supremacists in S. Africa and the French in Algeria thought.
Hamas and Hezbollah can huff and puff all they want but they won't destroy Israel. Arabs tried to destroy Israel in several wars and failed every time. Starting and losing 3 wars has consequences.
None squatter! Resistance groups are not there to win a war in one decisive battle, hence the name, and the Arabs did not really fight according to many Jewish historians.
Israel is a more advanced country than arab states (plus non arab persian Iran)
No doubt! That does not discount the fact that it is an identical copy of Nazi Germany and the Afrikaner Regime of S. Africa, in its atrocities and in its colonization policies. Both Nazi Germany and S. Africa were âMore Advancedâ.
There will be no 2 state solution. Israel is not going to give up Jerusalem, there will be no "right of return".
Not with the present, expired, Palestinian so called government in Ramallah it won't but time will tell.
Gaza is a trash can and hopelessly economically depressed.
So was the Warsaw Ghetto after Nazi Germany carried the same exact tactics that Israel carries against Gaza.
Neither Hamas nor Hezbollah is capable of actually leading palestinians to something productive.
Resistance does not have a name and could come in very different forms. We are still at the beginning of the journey if you want to compare is to other people's struggle.
Palestinian "arab brothers" don't want to extend real help. Paying families of suicide bombers is not considered real help.
Thank you! Then why do you insist in drawing a comparison between them and us.
Any smart person would have recognized that launching rockets from lebanon is juvenile and is a road to nowhere. Also saying how hezbollah kicked israel's ass in lebanon is a bit misleading. Israel did not accomplish its goals and lost men and tanks, but considerable portion of lebanese infrastructure (including airport) was destroyed.
And re-built! Now let me see if the fourth strongest army on earth will dare touch Lebanon again.
A smart palestinian would do either 1 of 2 things: Get the hell out
Dream on!
2) try to integrate with Israel.
That concept is adamantly refused by your Zionist Brethrens.
Nobody in the right mind would want "to have a right of return". Because of people like arafat that wanted sovereignty we have the current situation.
Dream on!
