Basically I love this attitude, no matter who says it, but with Muslims I always have to doubt their honesty. It seems to me that Mr. Muhammed is thinking very carefully about how the text was again.

I don't agree sometimes it's just simple manipulation. "Jewish state means the culture of the state is culturally Jewish". That's not true. Jewish state means if a citizen is Arab and Muslim his family can't immigrate from Jordan though they have roots there, whereas a Jewish citizen of Israel can welcome his distant family from New York and the state will extend them citizenship. The more he talks during the interview, the more propagandized and leading it becomes.

​@@EvanCarrollTheGreat There is much more history behind what you bring up as your objection. This is not that conversation. There are certainly good reasons for the way things are in Israel. Some Muslim people are friends; and many more (especially, outside the land) are not!

Doesn't matter who are friends and who are not friends. It matters that there are objectively three sets of laws, one for Jews, one for non-Jews that have been offered citizenship contingent to them accepting second class citizenship, and one for non-citizens which fled when fascist militias pushed for recognition (occupied people). @@freeto9139

It does every year...

@@segevkrespi8609 love the idea of it.

No other country does that although they have a multitude of religions or nationalities.

I really think that in cases like these they should go with a musical anthem or a hummed anthem. It's like the idea of putting all religious symbols on the flag. Just don't put any.

As an Israeli I don't think there's room to compare Czechoslovakia. I see little to no bad blood between the two countries aside from them being forced to be one entity when they were obviously split between 2. Israel and Palestine is so much messier and bloodier, and breaking off of Gaza changed nothing.

Exactly what I thought when I heard that question. The only issue might be which would come first. The Czech part was always played before the Slovak part, not sure if the Slovaks were ok with that

In Canada, we have a French and English version (the original was actually in French) and we mix them up depending on the occasion.

@@nitzan3782 As an Indian Tamil, I think it is the fact that both the Czechs and the Slovaks had their own anthems that made even the split bloodless. Not to mention that the split was initiated by the dominating ie Czech side on a economical reason and the languages are almost dialects of each other in a way. Sri Lanka on the other hand tried to impose Sinhalese on the minority Tamils, stripped the Tamils out of government jobs etc after the British left and the result was a 30 year civil war. It is still not healed though one of the newer attempts is autonomy to both sides as well as the national anthem being sung in both languages. The Indian anthem on the other hand is in a language which no modern Indian speaks and hence no one feels favoured or left out. While people from my region do feel angry at the frequent attempt to impose Hindi as the national language, as of today, it is not and hence I feel equal as an Indian from any other region. IMO, Israel should think of a form of the Czechoslovak or Indian way. Else, the current system will fall as soon as the US looses interest in the region. Considering that there are enough Jews now in Israel, and that there is no longer an existential crisis for Jews in the world, it would make sense to only allow Jews who feel discriminated to immigrate to Israel and not everyone who is a Jew. Currently, it does not seem much different from Australian "white only" immigration policies which were till the 70s. As of now, it seems that Arab Israelis have to apologise to their Palestinian counterparts for having a "privilege". If Arab Israelis have to be ashamed of their identity, it won't last long.

@@monocle8868 great lie

What do other Muslim majority countries have to do with this country(Israel)? This is what I can never understand. Many supporters of Israel argue that they don’t understand why Muslims and Christians want to be acknowledged. The argument is that this is the only Jewish state and there are many other Muslim and Christian countries and the Jewish people only have 1. But what I can’t understand for the life of me what one has to do with the other. That’s like asking Egypt to become a Jewish/Muslim state would Israel then convert to a Jewish/Muslim state? No right? Cause what does Egypt have to do with Israel? Same goes for any other Muslim majority country...what is the connection with Israel? Nothing. But the reason they want to be acknowledged is for one -they were there before the Jews migrated. Yes a war was won and now the Jewish people are a majority. I get that. so why can’t it just be a country. Why does it have to be a “Jewish country” Judaism is just a religion. Just like Islam and Christianity and Hinduism and Buddhism and all the hundreds of religions of the world. Countries have names not religions.

@@razannassar So what happened to the Jewish population of all of those Arab counties you mention? 850,000 of them. They were all forced out after 1947? Where did they go? Where could they go? Who would take them in? Israel. And where did the majority of Arabs who live in Israel and the territories come from? In the last 25 years before the partition the Arab population doubled. That’s immigration baby. In the 19th century Jews were the majority in Jerusalem and a minority elsewhere in the land. Arabs and Jews are native to the land. Arabs and Jews are immigrants to the land. The partition gave less than half to the Jews and none of the historically important areas of the Jewish people was given to the Jews. Half of the land was given to the Arabs including East Jerusalem where all the Jewish holy sites are. But the Jews accepted and the Arabs didn’t and they went to war to take it away. 5 giant Arab countries against one tiny Jewish one. Had the Arabs won the Jews would be dead. We won, you lost, get over it. Make peace, have your country and leave the Jews in peace.

​@@monocle8868 That's bullshit. Muslims are conquered. Also, they aren't secular. In a long shot they are not secular in any means.

I can't quite imagine how it is that you don't speak the majority language of the state even with reservations. When Jews lived in Arab countries they all spoke Arabic, though often with French, as well as Ladino (whatever it was called locally), and other world or local languages, such as Berber.

Καπτεν Χαρλοκ What are your impressions so far?

Well, let's see. Everyone wants to live a normal life.That's for sure. But what normal means for each one of us is ahh... different. Apart from that and speaking extremely generally i'm pro-Jewish for a number of reasons.

Yes but the pro-Arab stand is changing in the last decades, especially from 2000 and on. But to be sincere many Greeks are anti-Semites like many Europeans. That is because of the church. There are also many (like myself) who really want to see a decisive alliance between the two countries as we believe Israel is the only light in a dark world(middle east).

Excellent question ! From those who are pro-Israel 70% is only for strategic reasons. The rest 30%(including me) is really pro-Israel no matter what.

I prefer a Democracy with disadvantages(Israel) than any Islamic state. For me Islam is not only a religion but a dictatorial way of life.

@@DasZuckerhaus Israeli-Arabs do have a right of return though... Any Israeli-Arab and their children living outside of Israel have the full right to return to Israel whenever they want.

@@deans5086 Bullshit. What about their relatives, can they bring in their relatives? No!!! But a Lithuanian Jew can show up tomorrow with all his extended family and become a citizen. Meanwhile, Palestinians who fled it in 1948, languish in neighbouring countries. That's the one thing that make Israel really abnormal. Not the weird establishment of it as a home for a certain ethnicity, as to it credit it included those who lived in the land as citizens. But the return laws are just nonsensical today. Of Israel admitted any oppressed Jewish groups as refugees and made them citizens, that will make more sense than giving a wealthy jew American citizenship on demand, just because he's a jew. ••• I don't care about calling it Jewish or bullshit. I don't care. A country like Syria call it self "Syrian Arab Republic", but it's Arabic culturally while different ethnicities live in it. No specific laws to naturalized specific ethnicity. I hope you got my point. It's known that Israel operates as Jewish state since day one. It doesn't make a difference to officially call it as such.

@@mrmbendol it’s an interview when you ask questions and let people express their opinion without intervening. When you start challenging their response while obviously stating your opinion in the questions and remarks it becomes a debate.

You use the word "Arab" as if it were equivalent to "Muslim." Apart from the only real Arabs -- the ones who live in the peninsula called "Arabia" (the clue is in the name!) - most so-called "Arabs" are united only by speaking a dialect of the Arab language. Their ancestors were a diverse collection of ethnic groups who (prior to the influx of Islam) spoke various Semitic languages such as Egyptian, Aramaic, Assyrian, etc. To this day, there are millions of Arabic speakers who are not Muslims but Christians, mainly in Egypt and the Lebanon.

@@DieFlabbergast I am well aware that not all Arabs are Muslim, and that many Arabs of today are descended from other peoples. Note that in the context of Israel (and much of history) the word "Jew" is not simply a religious indicator, but also a marker of ethnicity or nationality. Arabs today, including Muslims and Christians, are called Arabs not necessarily because they are genetically from Arabia, but because they speak the Arabic language and identify with the Arab nation. In that respect, "Arab" could be comparable to "Turk" or "Greek". Indeed, the locus of Arab nationalism has for the most part been Iraq and the Levant, with Egypt in particular promoting both pan-Arabism and a distinct Egyptian nationalism.

@@DieFlabbergast wow !! Good stuff...

@Starhopper classic smearing

Read the Israel "Nation State Law". The Israeli State defines itself as a Jewish country, despite the fact that the 20% "Arab Israeli" minority is indigenous to that land for thousands of years... no respect. And it is expanding into the West Bank without any qualms whatsoever continuing to steal water, land, and property from the indigenous people, meanwhile inviting people from Brooklyn to come over and take those houses while Palestinians become homeless. The Germans of 1940 would be proud to see such a racist strategy, not to mention what you are achieving in Gaza.

Let's ask Ethiopian jews their opinion.

Muslims in the EU are 1.8% of the population and come from many countries. They do not speak one language and apart from some suburbs in big cities they do not form a majority anywhere else. In countries like Albania or Kosovo where Muslims are the majority, they are from the same ethnic group with non-muslims so their language is the state language. In Russia Muslims have their own republics actually, where their language is co-official along with Russian and learnt at schools. No country in Europe has similarities with the history and the complexity of the population changes and movements in Israel/Palestine of the 20th century, so your argument about European countries is completely irrelevant.

I'm sorry but you are incredibly ignorant. The Arab (Palestinian) Israeli citizens are Palestinian, they are indigenous to that land for thousands of years.... Whereas the Jews came in the last 100 years from all over, and are in terms of DNA only partially related to the land (in terms of having DNA from there). DNA studies show that Palestinian DNA is 90% the same as people from Canaan in 1700BC. And the Jewish DNA in the Jews is that same DNA but about 50% mixed in with European and Russian DNA. What the Zionists did to the Palestinians continues to be probably the greatest injustice the West has ever committed to a single population group on this Earth in the last 125 years. I would say you should be ashamed but you wouldn't have the least idea what you've done wrong, and no doubt see the Palestinians as subhuman, as most Israelis do.

It's different... Israel occupied that land, it went from having 10% Jews to 80% Jews. Claiming it is a Jewish state is very unfair and erasing history from less then a century ago. ALSO, you can be an Arab jew... just like you can be an Arab christian and an Arab Muslim - stop claiming Judisim as a race rather then a religion ... no one is pure blood and people may have converted in and out of a religion through out history- is an Ethiopian jew racially the same as Russian jew?

Befroe the 12 tribes of Israel there was independent cnanists city kingdoms not a Palestinian state 20. Actually, in this piece of land there has been everything EXCEPT A PALESTINIAN STATE. The land of Israel has been populated by the Jewish people since 2000 BC. Here's the timeline, in case you didn't realize that its there homeland, . 2000BC Abraham chosen as the father of the Jewish nation 1900 BC: Isaac, rules over Israel. 1850 BC: Jacob, son of Issac, rules over Israel. 1400 BC: Moses leads the people back to Israel. 1010 BC: King David unites the 12 tribes into one nation. 970 BC: King Solomon, son of David, builds the first temple structure in Jerusalem 930 BC: Israel is divided into two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah. 800s BC: The rise of the prophets 722 BC: Kingdom of Israel is conquered by Assyrians. 605 BC: Kingdom Judah is conquered by the Babylonians. 586 BC: Solomon's Temple is destroyed by the Babylonians. 539 BC: Persians conquer the Babylonians and take control of Israel. 538 BC: The Jews return to Israel from exile. 520 BC: The Temple is rebuilt. 450 BC: Reforms made by Ezra and Nehemiah. 433 BC: Malachi is the end of the prophetic age. 432 BC: The last group of Jews return from exile. 333 BC: The Greeks conquer the Persian empire. 323 BC: The Egyptian and Syrian empire take over Israel. 167 BC: Hasmonean's recapture Israel, and the Jews are ruled independently. 70 BC: Romans conquer Israel. 20 BC: King Herod builds the "second" temple 6 BC: Jesus Christ is born in Bethlehem 70 AD: Romans destroy the temple After that, the people were captives to the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Crusaders. Through all of these events, the Jewish people continued to live in Israel. There were more or less of them, depending on the centuries, but there was never a time when the Jews didn't live in the land. They stayed, they built their communities, they raised their families, practiced their faith and they suffered at the hands of many outside rulers, but they always kept their faith. It is what sustains them, even now. In 1948, the UN established the State of Israel, the nation of Jews. Don't buy the Palestinian lies that they are entitled to the land. It simply is not true. ERETZ-ISRAEL [(Hebrew) - the Land of Israel] was the birthplace of the Jewish people. Here their spiritual, religious and political identity was shaped. Here they first attained to statehood, created cultural values of national and universal significance jews always lived in the land there wasn't a time where they didn't live there and lot of jews do dna tests and it's show that they are originally from Israel example: Are you serious? Based on DNA analysis, my family originated southern Israel and the migrated to Syria at about the conclusion of the Roman conquest. From there, they migrated to Spain and Portugal and then to Russia. In Russia, their names changed and they immigrated to the US in the mid-1800s. It has been common that Jews changed their last names in an effort to fight antisemitism. Jews originally trace their ancestry to a confederation of Iron Age Semitic-speaking tribes known as the Israelites that inhabited a part of Canaan during the tribal and monarchic periods. Modern Jews are named after and also descended from the Israelite Kingdom of Judah Jews are originated from Judea Modern Jews descended from the ancient Canaanites. Hebrew originated from the Canaanite language modern Jewish groups show more then half of their ancestry as Canaanite there was never Palestinenian state Since 1964, they have been referred to as Palestinians the Palestinenians come from Jordan, syria, Egypt, Lebanon and more countries tell the arab occupiers to go back to there original countries!!!! Palestine has never been a state, a nation or a country. It was a geographical area belonging to the Turkish Ottoman empire before 1918. The Turks lost in WW1 and the League of Nations gave it as a protectorate to Britain as part of the British Mandate for Palestine. Britain handed the responsibility to the UN in 1947. The UN suggested a partition plan (UN Resolution 181) that separated the region into a Jewish homeland and an Arab land The Jews accepted and created Israel. The Arabs refused, declared war on Israel and have been waging war on Israel and refusing any offers of their own nation The word Palestinian is Latin for Philistine and actually means “Invader to the land” That makes as much sense as renaming a house Burglarland and the Burglar claiming the home he was robing now belongs to him and the original owners are occupying it. You are basically saying the word thief means new owner plisthim come from Crete Greece and they extinct The Palestinenians come from the middle east but you all are pretending it’s solely from one specific country in the Middle East which just isn’t true as your own DNA test even shows (primarily Egyptian and Jordanian, as is expected). Interestingly enough tons of Jewish DNA tests have also shown Middle Eastern (directly from the area of Israel in southern Levant) ancestry despite being Ashkenazi (and obviously Sephardic and Mizrahi) yet I hear lots of people claiming the same, that ties to the area are questionable and should "go back to Europe" If you’re going to downvote at least explain which part you feel is wrong other than “this went against my narrative

he did some other interviews where he asked Palestinians some questions and most answers were anti-zionist and he chooses to not say anything, and when he was talking to Israeli settlers he did comment some stuff (and I think he was right)... obviously he has an opinion but its somewhere in between.

@@mayasidi2134 "anti-zionist" well if someone takes your home and kills your kids. What do you except them to say let's be brothers? Anyway FREE PALESTINE!

@@laraelkilani8472 first of all, was just saying you were wrong about him having a side in the conflict. but if you insist on talking about that, let's talk some facts: Hamas- targets 3000+ missles at civilians (NOT IDF). IDF- targets at Hamas activists, informes the people surrounding to stay back. and most israelis dont support settlers. tbh honest I dont even know 1 person who supports the settlers. I'm so sorry the innocent Palestinians have to go through all of this, because they are just civilians. but you have to understand that this conflict is not just another trend, it's a 73 year old complicated conflict.

@@mayasidi2134 I'm a Palestinian myself and I know that this is not a trend since my brothers and sisters in Palestine have been killed and are being killed by the IDF.

@@mayasidi2134 if you want to talk about numbers just in the year 2018, 31, 588 thousands of Palestinians were killed, murdered by Israel. In comparison to 130 lives that Isreal civilians that died for stealing a land that it is not there's.

Literally

Heartman2013 she just doesnt like the way thinks are cause its state ruled by a jewish majority These guys have a probleme everywhere they are or go as long as islam and arabs dont rule. Same in europe

Actually statistically you can find many ways Palestinian citizens are discriminated against. For example Palestinian Israeli communities receive far less government funds than Jewish Israelis. 53 percent of the poor families of Israel are Palestinian. Not to mention discrimination at airports, by certain bosses etc.

@@abdallaha92 Well no shit. They don't even consider themselves to *be* Isreali citizens and want to take over the nation. The fact that they are even getting funding is weird in my mind.

@@abdallaha92 if they're Palestinians they aren't citizens. Do you mean Arabs with Israeli citizenship? Because they're Israeli

It’s not about educated in those places it’s more about situation. Of course, Palestinians in Gaza would be the least sympathetic, look at their situation.

The title says Israeli Arabs. Those in Ramallah and Gaza aren't Israeli.

No shit? Their situation is completely different of course you'll hear different answers

I mean, a woman with a loving husband and a woman who was raped by several men would have different opinions on men for example

@@mediterraneanmapping9657 Like when Safiyyah was raped by Mohammed after her husband was tortured and killed by his fellow Muslims?

What?!

There are many Christians who are against colonialism,by the way George Nicola Habash was Christian and he was one of the founder of the popular front for the liberation of Palastine.

I mean yeah? So what? What is the arguement.

but in the 1910s, the whole land was like 90% Arab. What happened?

@Sunny Fruit Were they dropping barrel bombs on the poor, benighted residents?

@wownouser That's as Racist as saying that there should be no Jews in a future Palestinian state (alongside Israel).

​@@hannabard5455you being a Zionist is racist in of itself lmao.

Half of the population of Israel came from Arab and Muslim countries. Egypt has over 10 million Christians, and Syria still has 1-2 million Christians. Morocco still has a sizable community of Jews.

@@hansfrankfurter2903 so what's your point?

The gulf Arab states don't give the nationality even to other Arab muslims not just to Pakistanis simply because they don't have an immigration law. However, citizens in those countries are equally represented. Israel, on the other hand, represents only Jews, whether they're Jews that originally immigrated from Arab or European countries.

Bruh the Arabs had been there before any of the Jews had migrated to Palestine, so they are de-facto natives while Pakistani expats have no connection to the gulf states do you see the difference? Did these Pakistanis inhabit the gulf states before formation no? did the Arabs inhabit Palestine before zionsit incursion? yes?

no you re not

of course you are morrocan... since you bow down to zionists who else you would be ?

There are many curbs to freedom of speech. One of them in incitement to hatred, and most specifically to racial hatred.

Ah, you don't understand! You see, Jeremy supports Hamas and Hezbollah because they are mostly brown-skinned people, and therefore automatically oppressed heroes. I'm afraid most Israelis are just TOO WHITE. This is what the left has come to.

They won't be a minority if the ones who fled in 1948 are allowed to return.. millions and millions of Palestinians are refugees to this day all around the world

Migrating to a land enmasse in order to have an advantage in numbers does not give you the right to take over. My neighbor has a family of two. Do you think it would be reasonable for me to take over their home if I go there? After all, my family consists of five individuals.

@nikolai bahtin You are spewing Zionist propaganda my friend. If you spend more than 5 minutes around Syrians, Jordanians, Egyptians and Palestinians you would know the differences. I happen to be Syrian myself and I probably know a thing or two about that more than you

@R B J learn history, people took the land from jewish people. And now they reclaimed it. It's easy to attack and criticize jews, because they were never been known for being violent people. Go ask sweden or any other european country with a cross on it to change their flag to make it more "bi cultural", or maybe the natives in the US need to ask to change the flag and anthem, to make it more "bi cultural". Let's see how they will response. It's easy to criticize Israel and jews, even when the land is rightfully theirs.

R B J Israel is the land that’s a core part of Judaism. The Tanakh mentions Jerusalem 667 times. Jews have a right of self-determination as everyone else does, especially when it’s based on historical facts

Well, I mean Hebrew barely has any semitic sounds unlike Arabic, and there's the fact that it borrowed a lot of vocabulary from Arabic. So Arabic is actually a better option for a national anthem than Hebrew

Except "peaceful" minorities.

That is saying all Americans are Christians. It's a religion not a race.

@@chadsmith2281 The Jewish religion in spite of other religion's is also a race

@@chadsmith2281 so that you understand what is being said. Jews for millennia have referred to ourselves as "People of Israel." We call Judaism - "the faith of Israel." The land, and that is not the same as the borders of the state, but along the Biblical borders - "the Land of Israel." And the official name of Israel (the state) is actually "the State of Israel." So, whatever you imagine, clearly this designation goes beyond only religion.

Israel is the name of Jacob. Jacob is a prophet we respect in Islam. There are Muslim men called Israel. But you seem not know many things about Muslim communities.

@@aliabdullahalhamo3641 the purpose of the name is to show that the land belongs to the descendants of jacobs, which are the jews(according to the tradition). So the name Israel means the land of the jews, not muslims or arabs.

@@Dndyrvnz I agree but not on top of each other so u not able to read any

In most of those countries Jewish population is less than even 1 percent of the total population. I guess it must be very different, having a fourth of your citizens as minority from if your minority population isn't even 1 percent. Most countries that are ethnicly diverse like Israel shouldn't really have a preference among their ethnicities, otherwise they become an apartheid state that Israel is now.

@@soniahemmati2372 wow, so many contradictions in your response, I almost don’t know where to start. Firstly, Israel isn’t an apartheid state, but definition nor what’s played out in reality. It’s so not like an apartheid state that the Arab population has grown unlike the rest of the Middle East where the Jewish demographic has shrunk, some to almost zero population…so where’s the apartheid here? The Middle East is in fact so diverse that, using your argument, no flag should have the crescent and stars on its flag. Lebanon, Iran, Iraq etc are so diverse that their minorities including their religions aren’t included in the national flag.

@@larosadesierta9146 @Inge Esther You're right about Lebanon, which does have a significant Christian population. But Iraq and Iran are more than 98% Muslim. But yes they are ethnically very diverse. And unlike with Israel, I have never heard Iranian regime leaders for example, saying that it's not the country of all its ethnic groups and that Iranian Arabs or Iranian turks or Kurds, don't really belong here. Also apartheid doesn't only mean separation between ethnicities, but a system that discriminates against one ethnicity to the benefit of another group. Israel being an apartheid state is according to many world renowned human rights groups, including Israeli human rights groups, not my personal opinion. Iran and Iraq and Lebanon and all other countries in the middle east Don't have separate roads for different ethnicities as far as I know. Also, What's the contradiction exactly in my previous comment? I Meant to say that if a minority is exertemely small in terms of number, eventhough it should obviously have full equal rights, it is not always necessary to have them represented officially all the time. But 25-26 percent is actually a very high percentage of a minority citizens.

@@soniahemmati2372 again, Israel is NOT an apartheid state. Everybody has equal rights. There are those with an anti Israel narrative but their claim is baseless and politically motivated. As a citizen of Israel who does live here, I know personally plenty of Arabs both Muslim and Christian who have said on many occasion that they enjoy living in the Jewish state and its democratic system and could not imagine living in a Muslim majority, dysfunctional state. Israel. Is 80% Jewish so a flag with the star of David does not signify a disenfranchised minority especially if you compare it to other nearby countries who have repressed ethnic and religious minority groups, again everybody here has equal rights. Which means it is not an apartheid state. Everybody has the right to practice openly their religion and carry out their lives as they see fit.

@@larosadesierta9146What you are saying would be true, if the Palestinians in the west bank, who live under Israeli military control were either given full equal rights as citizens or a state of their own, and Israel doesn't want to and won't allow any of them to happen.

Hardly any. They stay quiet. How many are left in the middle east out of Israel?x

ScreamToASigh Literally tens of millions I’m 100% certain that the Christian population of the Middle East in totality dwarfs the Muslim population of Israel.

Not Palestinians ,not gazasn, bot the west Bank

Two wrongs make a right ?

The person who submitted the question had Corey ask about their opinions on the Jewish identity of Israel, not whether they recognize Israel's legitimacy. Comparing it to the US is a bad analogy because we do not have a Basic Law which defines as white or Christian state - even though most Americans are both - (and yes, I know the law in Israel is mostly symbolic), and our national anthem is not specifically religious or in favor of a specific ethnic group. (p.s. they're Native Americans, not Indians, and many American Jews are vocal opponents of their treatment. Likewise in Canada in regard to their indigenous peoples) (p.p.s. you can have more than one indigenous people to a land)

@@harrydamour7564 definitely not but it's called hypocrisy when the perpetrator is actually the one lecturing the TRUE indigenous people of the land (but that's besides the point)

@Starhopper I was referring to the Jews of course the Arabs are Intruders.

@Starhopper You come to land full of Arab muslims & simply expell them to build your racist state in their land then you want peace?

It is a very strange comparison

Lol what a weird suggestion

Well Greg, me - my mother and my grandmother were born in Switzerland. That’s as much as native as the Arab to Israel, since most of them immigrated between 1890 and 1930 from Egypt, Jordan and Syria....

@Greg: as i sad, most Arabs immigrated between 18890 and 1930 from neighboring countries. The Land of Israel/Palestine wasn’t fruitful and life was harsh. (only a few cities like Jerusalem, Nazharet, Akko, Zefat or Betlehem had some sort of native people. (Jews, Christians, Druze and Muslims a like) With the start of the Kibbutz movement the Land got more and more fruitful and they needed more workforce to work the Lands. So yes, its similar to my situation. We do not have to agree Greg. But at least we can agree on, that in no Arab countries people have the quality of life as in Israel? (Health care, Social Security, Freedom, democratic rights, civilized values, public transportation, not cencorsed internet, and so on....)

Supremacy culture of the majority controlling the middle east.

@@roymor1766 Roy you seem to negate the fact that the land mass was called Palestine. Which had all three religions in the area for thousands of years. To even suggest Arabs are immigrants to the land exposes your racist view of your neighbors. If you were born in Switzerland, you have no claim to the land. The biggest flaw with Israeli logic is they conflate "Democracy" with an ethno-state. You cannot claim to be a democracy but claim to be a "Jewish only state" they would get much more achieved with showing and reflecting a neutral stance which was what Palestine provided! Unfortunately, the current Zionist state is reflecting a Nazism style regime.

@@roymor1766 you also fail to recognize the wrath of Hadrian and the Romans when they leveled Judea and replaced it with syria-palaestina. This was in 135 CE mind you.

thank you :D You are great

but i hate israel

You killed all copts.
