I am equating it with Nazism; it probably started as a reaction to Nazism but it's still a fundamentalist racist ideology; their actions from the very start prove this.

Definitely, Israel is by far the most racist of all of the so called 'developed democracies'. Check out the video I posted in the Bedouin and Iron Dome thread regarding how they treat African refugees.

They hate anyone that isn't Jewish, except Americans. They know what side their bread is buttered on.


The Palestinians are Caucasian (nothing to do with complexion), mostly and also Semitic like Jews. Judaism is not a race, either. That has been disproved many times.

Both Jewish and Arab cultures have issues with racism, and bigotry. Ask the Berber, and Ethiopian Jews.
Theres tension between muslim groups as well in the middle east like the sunnis and shiats. To sum it up in the middle east everyone hates eachother and wants to blow eachother up and steal land from eachother its been going on for thousands of years and its stupid.


BS! No more than europeans did to themselves
In the past yeah but it still goes on over there although the US bombing those places is like kicking a fire ants nest and stirring up more chaos than there already is. In the past I guess when it comes to Europe its like the tension between the British the French and the Celts.

You could find a professor anywhere that has a messed up opinion.

That is messed up and a stupid idea, becuase the idea of "rape of our daughters" is something that has been used warning or propaganda by extremist group in the region. It would merely feed the flames.

Denial will get you nowhere. The west is constantly being accused of "escalating tensions" between different groups and middle east, etc. How can escalate something that doesn't exist?. Same story in central Asia.

Take responsibility, instead of covering your ears and eyes.

In fact the majority of the problems in the middle east come down to this. The Ottoman's couldn't solve this, the French couldn't solve this, the British could solve this. Then they wonder why they have such terribly oppressive governments. They have have such government becuase paranoia, and mutual hatred requires total domination either by minorities trying to protect their own interests (generally Baathism), or majorities (generally the Sheiks and Ayatollahs). In lieu of actually facing up to the sectarian culture, thy are face with these oppressive system because of mutual fear.

This exactly a symptom of neurosis, being so caught up in the whirlwind of destructive behavior it always someone else's fault never your own.

I actually want them to come out the other side. But they need to learn to get out of of this destructive cycle first and not such everyone else in to it either.

Here is one of them:


Quote:
The Simon Wiesenthal Center today denounced the anti-Semitic canards spouted by Professor Johan Galtung, a respected Norwegian academic who linked mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik to Israel, recommended the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion and asserted that Jewish achievements in Germany led to the Nazi Holocaust. Among other Galtung claims, according to an article in the April 30, 2012 edition of Ha?aretz, six Jewish companies control 96% of the media who, ?divert for the sake of Israel.? He also said, ?Seventy percent of the professors at the twenty most important American universities are Jewish.? The article also says Galtung bases this doctrine on a piece written by the American white supremacist, William Pierce.

learn to f*****g read. I didn't deny the sectarian violence, I merely rebuffed Otaku's claim of this Millenium long discord and convulsion. The Europeans actually fought themselves much longer, albeit now they're as close as two peas in a pod. Napoleonic wars, WW1 and WW2 bolster my claim. Reformation would be overkill on my side.

But yes the Middle east is convulsed and being destroyed by sectarian violence, which no one denies.

Most of what he said was true, except the protocol thing and holocaust reason. I don't know why making legitimate points makes you antisemitic.

In the 70s, 80s and even 90s the chance or running into a true adherent to Zionism was slimmer. Zionism is used an a general label but it is actual quite a specific thing. As Hamas has gained popularity, you would expect that Zionism would come back, especially the "ultra" brand of it.

Quite frankly it is still a minority, but a significant one, and it will grow so long as there is extremism also on the other side.

The Palestinian movement used to me more mixed, but that has gone too. Arguably at a faster rate. It is pretty much just a Muslim movement now.

I don't agree with settlements. However where would you rather live Gaza or West Bank? The answer is obvious.

The Palestinian's aren't all whiter then white. They have dug them selves a pretty big hole and they need to take some responsibility.

Just becuase there is real suffering don't mean there isn't a self perpetuating aspect to it. Victim-hood is taught through the generations. What you are looking at is literally mass neurosis, much the same an individual neurosis, and the treatment is much the same too.

Someone who truly wants to be free they reject victim-hood no matter what they come up against. They don't wallow in it.

I ask you as a former Muslim what do you think the priorities are in the Muslim world right now?

In the 13 centuries since the battle of Karbula sectarian conflict among Muslim has barely ceased for a moment. The paranoia, the mutual hatred, it is endemic in the middle east an central Asia. How many people do you think have been displaced, killed or maimed over these centuries becuase o this? Compare to the Israeli/Palestinian situation of one century, you would have to use a logarithmic scale to even have them on the same chart the difference is so vast. Palestinian population was small in the 60s, and it is bigger now but comparatively small, including the displaced compared to other conflict. The Muslim world hasn't exactly helped, and like I said the internal sectarian conflicts cause much more harm. This is regardless of what you think of the Israelis, it is down to numbers. The Muslim world needs to get their own house in order before lecturing others.

Palestine was a British creation after WWI, part of trans-Jordan. I respect they want to to self determine, that is fine, but if the is was really just about territory, and displacement that would be one thing, but as a former Muslim you know it is not that simple. It is also about the keys to the holy land, and being the righteous party, and simply not tolerating the other faiths becuase in the Koran it says they are corrupted and inferior. Sure there is no compulsion "in religion" for people of the book as the saying goes, but as an atheist there certainly is.

Ok, I will answer this in brief.


First of all, there's no Muslim world as one entity and as common goals and views as much there's not "Christian world" - the "Muslim world" actually is formed of Egyptians, Tunisians, Libyans, Turks, Iranians...etc. Each country has its own priorities, and so their citizens; so I am not sure how to answer this.
What I can tell you about the "Muslim world" that it seems to be divided by two major polar group who are in ongoing conflict: The moderate/secular nationalists who view their own country as final country, vs the Islamists who don't (ISIS is an extreme case of this) ; it's the case in Egypt, in Tunisia, Algeria, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon.....everywhere. And their priorities are polar opposites too.
And it's not only that, there's a lot of "Gane of Thrones" going on in the Arab world.

W.P. is an incendiary weapon of war, not a means of gassing prisoners.

Only Zyklon B counts.

No. They painted themselves into a corner by refusing to acknowledge Israel's right to exist and refusing to negotiate a solution to the problem.

Absolute nonsense. At one point the Palestinian authorities considered giving up state ambitions and ask to be annexed by israel which would have been a real public relations nightmare for Israel.
So israel bombed the west bank and arresting hamas members there in order to provoke hamas and make it look like a defensive act this time around.
They played the media because they know they are not willing to report these earlier acts and now the narrative looks like a defensive war.
