I'm 100% convinced the Israel-Palestine issue won't get solved ever.
Barring actual divine intervention and nuclear war, we'll solve global warming before those two can live together in peace.

You should know that saying some of my favorite people are jewish is something that sounds pretty bad. The idea that you would be branded as an anti-semite and lose your job because you are critical of Israel also sounds bad. A lot of people are critical of Israel's policies, including many Israelis. There is absolutely no problem with that.
Why is it bad if I admire jews? I think this is going too far, I am not ill intended towards anyone but you just gave me an example why as a non jew I should stay quiet if I don’t want to be labeled as anything or god knows what else
Do you hold the same views about all races?
E.g. "It's not bad if i admire [ blacks / whites / asians / aryans / han chinese]?

That’s not what I’m driving at. My point is that there is a reason Bangladeshis all learn about Israel oppressing Palestine but don’t care about other Bangladeshis being worked to death in the Middle East. There’s a reason that’s the thing that gets people’s attention compared to all the other human rights issues out there.
There is a reason. Maybe this reason is that the "conflict" has been going on for 70 years? Maybe the reason is that the situation is particularly humiliating for Muslims, who saw the West unilaterally decide to install some Europeans in one of Islam's most historic places? Or maybe the reason is that, different from other injustices, this one is brazenly denied both by the perpetrators and by those who should be wit…
Most Israelis come from Arab countries(because they were expelled), this is a common myth that Israeli's are "european", there is many from Eastern Europe, and there are many ashkenazi jewish immigrants from the USA, but this is a fraction. And Jerusalem is the holiest place for Jews, and it has been since before Islam existed

In that case Israel should follow New Zealand's example and allow all Palestinians to become citizens, with full rights, stop being an ethnostate for Jews, stop with the racism and start behaving like the progressive country they pretend to be.
> allow all Palestinians to become citizens, with full rights, stop being an ethnostate for Jews If that happened, then Palestinians would outnumber Jews and could dominate the country democratically. I can understand the potential for discrimination. That's why the two state solution is often considered the only just solution: Both groups each have a country in which they are the majority. The Israeli right rejects…
>If that happened, then Palestinians would outnumber Jews and could dominate the country democratically
This is only a problem because they want a religious ethnostate, not a secular democracy.
Apartheid south africa wanted the same thing.

#235For people with almost (or absolutely) no contextual exposure to this conflict, can people recommend good sources to understand more about it and its history?
My personal preference would be for book sources, and if it's a case of "no unbiased account", then book sources from both sides of the conflict.

> Why would Israel make the Palestinians in Gaza full citizens when That’s separate territory from Israel? 1) most of Palestine and Palestinians are not in Gaza, bug in the West Bank 2) if Palestine is separate territory from Israel, why Israel builds its roads and cities on it?
You never answer my question - why would Israel give full citizenship to people in Gaza and let’s add on top parts (Area C) of the West Bank entirely controlled by the Palestinian Authority? And the funny part is, the reason Israel control parts of the West Bank is because they were attacked in 3 wars (1948, 1967, 1972) and won.
You are not going to get any answers and your questions/responses will be downvoted and hidden because you are questioning the propaganda

If they did that then they would completely cease being a progressive country and would become an Islamist country.
I just want to point out that this nonsense is Islamophobia and should not be tolerated. Muslims are no less people than anyone else. They are not the cartoonish evil character that you believe them to be.
are you suggesting we come back to the law against blasphemy because "criticism of Islam should not be tolerated"? Lol
Re: The blackout Palestinians are facing on social media
#240As an American Jew who grew up with a distorted and racist world view in regard to Palestine this just feels like history repeating itself. The troubles that face Israelis have always been amplified over those of Palestinians in my experience. That control of the narrative led me to be actively racist for most of my life while thinking I was not and also morally superior. This kind of censorship has a body count, and…
As an American who moved here from a Muslim country let me assure you Muslims are socialized to feel the same way about Jews. Took me a long time to see it. In high school I obviously supported Palestine and thought Israel was a settler colony (all of it, not just Gaza). Then I realized: wait why do I even care? I’m from 3,000 miles away in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, people don’t even care about Bangladeshis being he…
Because Palestine has neat takkia action going in Pallywood.
