Both regimes carried out an occupation they deemed as just, but the international community did not. Both setup ghettos, roadblocks and curfews for the occupied, those who break curfew get shot in the street with tanks. Both were racist regimes who operate(d) with a sense of superiority. Both committed mass killings and slaughters including of women and children. Both used the holocaust as justification or propaganda for their actions. Both are hated by the international community and invaded their neighbours. And both are feircely militaristic.

Its a very close race but the Nazis haven't been around for 60 years and only lasted around 20. The regime of Israel is still around and has been for 60 years. Its close, but I say Israel takes this one. your thoughts?

The Israelis haven't done any ovens yet nor as far as we know have they
done medical experiments on babies, gassed people in large quantities
or used anyones skin for decoration.
They seem to think that means they cannot be compared to the Nazis.

Umm, the Nazis?

As far as I know, there aren't any Israelis rounding up Palestinians, starving them, executing them, and cremating them in concentration camps. And, I don't think there are any Israelis experimenting on Palestinian children or subjecting their women to torture and rape by solidiers.

And, AFAIK, the Jews in Germany didn't send nutjob fanatics with bombs strapped to their chests to blow up schools and restaurants. There is absolutely no comparison, because by this logic every country in the Middle East, and indeed the entire world, is comparable to the Nazi regime.

As History has shown us........That could be declared to include the Roman Empire, the British Empire, the French Empire, America, and so forth.

To answer your topic line, I'd have to definately say the Nazis were far worse than Israel's entire History to present day combined.

When the Israelis start systematically slaughtering every single Palestinian in death camps, and starts performing medical experiments, and starts conquering the Middle East, and has slaughtered 12 million innocent people, then we'll talk.

In addition to everything already said, I would like to point out that Israel is reacting to attacks. The Nazis were the aggressors. The Israelis are responding to attacks from surrounding nations and from terrorists in their own nation.

And before you say that the Jews stole the land from the Arabs, the land was split into 4 nations: Israel for the Jews, Lebanon for the Christians, and Syria and Jordan for the Arabs. Jordan and Syria refused to accept or integrate their kin and Syris siezed control of Lebanon. Israel is not the aggressor (which is not to say they are totally justified in all they do).

Since your conversion to Islam, you've posted one thread on how good being close to Allah made you feel in a moment of enlightenment and I don't know how many more threads running down Israel and the West and pretty much anyone who isn't a Muslim. You might go back to devoting more time to reading the Koran and getting in touch with Allah. It seems to me that you're using your new-found religion as an excuse to expound (not even original) attacks on the standard "enemies" of Islam. I think you need to do some soul-searching.

When it comes to executing innocent people, I'd say Saudi Arabia and Iran are a hell of a lot worse. Nothing like stoning homosexuals, executing rape victims, beating and imprisoning dissidents, jailing women who refuse to submit to their husbands' abusive tyranny...

Israel doesn't take this one at all,because they aren't rounding up Palestinians,shooting them because of their religion,gassing them,burning their bodies en masse,and experimenting on live people.You're deluded.

Little Tiny Mustache
Stephen Lynch

You're the love of my life but it cuts like a knife
and I feel that I'm being misled
See I'm a little concerned for I've recently learned
of the swastika tattoo on your head
And it makes you smile when you hear "Sieg Heil"
You love the smell of a burning cross in the yard
You do goose step salutes in your Doc Martin boots,
and you quoted "Mein Kampf" in our 5th anniversary card.

I think you're a nazi baby,
are you a nazi? You might be a nazi baby...

You keep extensive files on the Nuremberg trials,
and you watch them whenever they're airing
I guess I should've known when you bought a new bone
for your puppies named Goebbles and Goering
You showed up late to our very first date,
I said "how are you" you said "white power"
Call me paranoid but I'm not overjoyed
when you ask me if I want to shower...

I think you're a nazi
Don't be lying baby,
Are you a nazi?
Are you anti-Zion baby?

Your every dress is monagram SS, you hold an Aryan picknick and bash
And it makes me irate when you say I look great
when I wear a little tiny moustache,
Your social politics say that races don't mix,
and you call it pure blood pollution
And whenever I'm sad, you say it's not so bad,
for every problem there's a "Final Solution"...

I think you're a nazi,
Give me an answer baby
Are you a nazi?
You drive a fucking panzer baby

You say that love is blind so how could I have guessed
But then again I met you at the Wagner Fest

I know you're a nazi
And that's why I'm leavin'
I know you're a nazi
Sure as my name is Stephen, Lynch-Berg-stein.

Yeah, but the Jews and Christians almost entirely moved on from the Dark Ages, while the Muslims in Iran and Saudi Arabia (in particular) are still stuck in 700 AD.

I fear 1900-1950 is more accurate.

Since most armies often have at least a few bad eggs in their ranks.Think of the Americans in Abu Ghraib in Iraq.Torture and the like.I'm sure a few Nazi soliders raped a few people.If they were capable of genocide,I don't know what they think is unacceptable moral-wise.

True. However, these particular things are also encouraged in the Torah and are as such more Abrahamic than Islamic.
As people already pointed out however, most Christians and Jews have left those things behind them.

No you are completely wrong. 90% of the civilian deaths caused by the Isralies were because of neglagence, they do not want to rid the world of a particularly race, religion etc... They are just attacking because they don't want the rest of Asia pointing missiles at them with only a meaningless boarder seperating them. Hardly the same for germany, who WANTED to rid their country (and others) of Jews, Homosexuals, Disabled etc....

Oh and the death toll for Germany was way way way way way higher.

Let's try to look for the following things...
A - *Searches for jewish people in position of power in the nazi regime* shock, none.
*searches for arab people in position of power in the israeli regime* what do you know, there are several party, and damn they sure have a freedom to do what they want... and what do you know, there's the islamic movement, that do what they want in the north of israel.

B - Hey. did you know that the are people that aren't of jewish decent that work in corporates as engineer and management.... shock, gasp, and so on.

The government of israel (Yes, the government... not israelis) can be blamed basically on being morons, idiots, incompetent and corrupted.... but efficiently ruthless..... that's just can't be said.... Israeli politicians are all but efficient.

The Isralies actually are under attack, and they do not attack a race where 99.999% of them have done nothing to them (unlike the nazis) they try (but fail) to attack legitimate targets to eliminate the countries threat. At the same time trying NOT to harm innocents.

Huh, sorry but I'm not a pro-israeli.... I am an israeli, and as such I'll be comdemed of being biased which is true, but not out of ideology, but because I know the people you accuse, and basically, I know the facts, I know that my government made many mistakes, but in the end of the day, you lack facts because you seek to see the world thru you own looking glass, based on your own biased agenda, because in the end, the israeli government, the israeli army doesn't aim at killing civilians, because with all due respect, as cynical as it sound, israel is a small nation, and as such it doesn't have the power to sneer and look down at the rest of the world, so it is well aware of public opinion.

The Palestinian Question? are you mad? you are simply coppy/pasting nazi catchphrases into a conext where they have never been used.
The nazis went out to conquer the world and create a master race through mass slaughter.
The Israelis try to defend their citizens in a very hostile environment, resulting in both innocent and military personel deaths, BOTH in combat.

The two things could not be more dissimilar.

Huh, sorry but I'm not a pro-israeli.... I am an israeli, and as such I'll be comdemed of being biased which is true, but not out of ideology, but because I know the people you accuse, and basically, I know the facts, I know that my government made many mistakes, but in the end of the day, you lack facts because you seek to see the world thru you own looking glass, based on your own biased agenda, because in the end, the israeli government, the israeli army doesn't aim at killing civilians, because with all due respect, as cynical as it sound, israel is a small nation, and as such it doesn't have the power to sneer and look down at the rest of the world, so it is well aware of public opinion. And as in politics, people will try to appease their critics

sorry to niform you but when your gov aims a missile at a public beach, that is aim for civilians.
i'm might be biased only cause i'm against any gov that thinks murdering children for any means , is ok.
when my country was miltarily active, not once did we kill children, not once, did we kill at random, not once did we cause a death to a civilian on enemy soil. oh yeah, my country is smaller than yours.

Tis a silly question really. It's like asking what was the worse tragedy Bosnia or Rwanda?

Although whilst I think it's Ok to ask questions about the attitude of the Israeli government and - as a Jew - talk about the actions of the Nazi Regime; it's quite disgusting to ask about whose actions are worse when you look at the scale of the atrocities commmitted by the Nazis or the continued subjugation of the Palestinian people by Israeli troops. They're both awful but in very different ways.

Sometimes the underdogs can be scumbags too. The Palestinians are a classic example of that. They glorify men who blow themselves up on busses and in markets. They don't take on Israeli government or military targets, they'd rather blow up a cafe full of Israeli teenagers. At least Israel makes some effort to hit the terrorists rather than just randomly bombing Palestinian towns.

Both regimes carried out an occupation they deemed as just, but the international community did not. Both setup ghettos, roadblocks and curfews for the occupied, those who break curfew get shot in the street with tanks. Both were racist regimes who operate(d) with a sense of superiority. Both committed mass killings and slaughters including of women and children. Both used the holocaust as justification or propaganda for their actions. Both are hated by the international community and invaded their neighbours. And both are feircely militaristic.

Its a very close race but the Nazis haven't been around for 60 years and only lasted around 20. The regime of Israel is still around and has been for 60 years. Its close, but I say Israel takes this one. your thoughts?

the purpose of cluster bombs is not to level the amount of deaths but increase as much as posible at random targets. kids think these are footballs for christ sake kids! anyone hear have kids? a young brother/sister? cousines? imagine hearing one of them kicking a cluster bomb thinking it was a football and some jerk says "ah well israel tries its best".

I guess someone forgot to mention that there is always unexploded munitions from wars. People are still dying from bombs that have failed to detonate during World War II for crying out loud. And I also recommend you look into the type of cluster bombs that the IDF actually uses. You might be surprised that they are safer than previous generations of cluster bombs for they expire after a certain amount of time.

Not quite. The Canaanites were the first inhabitors of Israel, and were driven out by the Israelis by war and genocide more or less.


However the Last canaanites are certain parts of the Lebanese population and the Maltese (especially those among the coast, in the Maronite and Shiite populations of lebanese there are many descendents of those driven away from their homeland by the Israelis).
So if you want to speak that kind of bullshit that Jews were there first, then tell them to screw off and give modern-day Israel to the Maltese and Lebanese.


"One of the 613 mitzvot prescribes that no inhabitants of the cities of six Canaanite nations, the same as mentioned in 7:1, minus the Girgashites, were to be left alive."

The old Israelis had their own little holocaust on the Canaanites then stole their land to form Israel, and in my opinion they got punished for it throughout history in ironic justice. Causing them untold sufferring, and yet seeing Israels modern day actions their 2500 years of exile and sufferring were obviously not enough to teach them humility.

Or is no genocide ever justified. Of course I only get exhausted at the rather unintelligent people that always claim Israel all the way because it was in the beginning Israeli land which it wasn't, in the passing it just happened to have belonged to the Israelis, much like it once belonged to the Greek, Romans, Byzantines, Turks, Egyptians, Persians and Babylonians.

The Israelis haven't done any ovens yet nor as far as we know have they
done medical experiments on babies, gassed people in large quantities
or used anyones skin for decoration.
They seem to think that means they cannot be compared to the Nazis.

Having said that

they have effectively enclosed the Palestinians in ghettos
strip Israeli palestinians of their rights
deny other palestinians any rights at all

They utilise collective punishment.
They seize property and lands
Drive people from their homes.

And while they have not yet gotten to a stage that can be clearly labelled
as genocide, the direction they have been moving to over the last 60 years
certainly indicates deliberate efforts to ethnic cleansing.

So I for one feel that while not at quite the excesses of the Nazis, still qualify shamefully, to be considered in the same mould.

Israel is a democratic republic with universal suffrage that operates under the parliamentary system. According to the international data reported by Freedom House, the degree of political rights and civil liberties in Israel makes it the only liberal democracy in the Middle East, consisting of a multi-party system and separation of powers.[30] Conversely, the research group Minorities at Risk (MAR) characterizes Israel's system of governance to be an "ethnic democracy", and notes that "the nationalism inherent in Israel’s foundation as a 'Jewish state' is at odds with its political basis of democratic governance vis-à-vis the Arab minority.

All deaths are terrible and we should all be seeking to avoid them.

Israel does not seem to try to do so by any sane judgement.

I was hoping someone might provide some totalised figures

But one thing I do know is that the ratio of deaths in recent years
is about 8 palestinians from IDF attack to 1 Israeli by terrorist action.

Israel is villified by those who do, generally because they take actions
knowing darn well they will be killing innocents.
Israel is generally supported by people who think there is some kind of
equality in power and in killings by both sides due to highly biased
reporting particularly in America where analyses indicates usually 100%(can be lower, has to the best of my knowledge never been less than 50%)
of Israeli deaths are reported compared to 40% of Palestinian deaths
(can be lower but people have a hard time believing how much lower.)

I don't know if it does make it proportionally better, to do so
how do you analyse the figures
do you take 11 million out of the entire population of most of Europe and part
of Russia, what percentage would that be?

Or to be be reasonable do we take 6 million from the entire Jewish population
of Europe and parts of Russia.(which as far as I can make out at the moment was about 10/11 million
in 1939 and while it may have been lower I doubt it was much higher)

And on the other side:

A state which, in ensuring it's own survival (consider how many nations and terrorist organisations are devoted to the utter destruction of Israel) has killed innocents numbering in the (at most) tens of thousands, in the process of trying to PROTECT THEIR OWN PEOPLE.

Israel is far from perfect. Many things done by Israel have been distasteful, and a few have been disgusting to any right-thinking person. However, to compare Israel and Nazism is both absurd and disgusting, and shows two things.

The biggest point, surely, being:
Deliberate, planned, industrialised extermination of an entire people.

That is the most important point. On all the other points there is a significant difference in degree, in that Nazi Germany practiced all of them on a much, much larger scale. Genocide, however, is a difference in kind, meaning it is impossible to equate the two with both a knowledge of the facts and a straight face.

In 1947, following increasing levels of violence from groups such as Irgun and Lehi, uncontrollable immigration from Europe and general war-weariness, the British government decided to withdraw from the Palestine Mandate.[12] The UN General Assembly approved the 1947 UN Partition Plan dividing the territory into two states, with the Jewish area consisting of roughly 55% of the land, and the Arab area roughly 45%. Jerusalem was planned to be an international region administered by the UN to avoid conflict over its status.

I have never said they were worse, in fact I went to lengths to ensure
that my first post spoke only to that point before then going on to
say that their behaviour and actions belong to the same kind of behaviour
the Nazis exhibited.



The Nazis also gave out parking fines...does that mean parking fines are a tyrannical outrage? My point is, differences of degree matter, and you can get mixed up pretty quickly if you forget about them. The Israelis have acted in a brutal fashion, but this thread topic still has no reason for existing.

One has, as part of a coalition of nations, attempted to utterly destroy the other. Ab initio. No retaliation required.

One at least attempts to avoid civilian casualties, rather than aiming for them because they're softer targets.

I could keep going all night, but instead I need sleep, and I'm not going to waste more valuable sleep time on picking holes in someone's *My First Anti-Israel Rant*
It's a precious moment for you, though when you get to making it the 1000th time, unchanged by objections and intervening facts, you might have forgotten this.

Your little sign off seems to speak more to your arguments unchanged by
objections and facts than mine. Which is par for the course for people
who wish to hold others to higher standards than they apply to themselves
or their friends.

Actually I think this thread is useful for existing
it means that everyone can see that there are people
who are simply anti jewish and pretending the Nazis were
somehow better than the Israelis are now

And those of us who are neither anti Jewish nor against a state of Israel
but who cannot remain silent as wicked deeds are done against
a people being treated as inferior and without rights.
Parking tickets don't enter into it, I am speaking to the dehumanising
of a people which allows any atrocity to be perpetrated against them
which is wrong even if the worst atrocities have not actually happened.
Once the attitude is in place, they can happen and the attitude is certainly
in place and firmly in Israel.

And we do have a problem now.

Israelis have a problem now
The Palestinians have a problem now.

Instead of explaining why Israel went beyond its borders in 1948
and saying yah boo sucks so what

Resolving the problem so that Palestinians can have freedom of movement
and control over their own borders, economy etc and so that the problems
can be removed from everyone.

Germany which was a bigger threat to everyone than the Palestinians have
ever been to Israel also lost a war, yet Germany is now living very peacefully
indeed with its neighbours and is united once again.

Nazis are of course worse then Israel. This is obvious and anyone who wants to debate this is either crazy or simply a bigot. When Israel start shoving Palestinians in ovens or lining them up to be shot then maybe I'll reconsider.

Palestinians would have freedom of movement if they didn't get violent in the first intifada. Before then there was freedom of movement from the territories to Israel itself. In order for things to go back to that, suicide bombers will have to stop attacking Israelis and Israel itself will have to show restraint in its reprisals. If they don't things will never change.

Sovietstan,

If your still reading through this thread at all would like to say a direct comment to you. I understand that you are a Muslim convert? Do you realize just because you have become Muslim you do not have to automatically put out anti-Jewish BS? Comparing Jews and Nazis. Are you kidding? As far as the Palestinians they are just as much to blame as anyone else. You may soon realize that if you study enough about the middle east and Islam. I ask you as a fellow Muslim to learn about the religion you converted to and to learn the history of the middle east. I am saying this so you do not help continue the ignorance around what Islam is.

You seem to have missed quite a bit. I assure you that Iran does not want Israel to be wiped off the map because Israel did something to Iran, which, incidentally, is hard to wage war on without people knowing. Iran hates Israel because Iran has a concept in its head of the land belonging to Muslims, and it doesn't.
The oppression of Muslims on their own land by non-Muslims is completely wrong.
First of all, "by not-Muslims"? Would you say it was ok if Muslims oppressed other Muslims?
Second, I agree, if Muslims(scratch that, if people) were being oppessed on their own land. They're not being oppressed, and they're not on their own land, they're on Israel's, which used to be Britain's, which it won fair and square from the Ottoman Empire in World War I.

Hey may well be a troll but while the Nazis come out worse,
pretending a comparison cannot be made is simply nonsensical.

The fact that the quote does not mean wiping Israel of the face of
the map but more accurately would suggest the current Israeli
regime will one day be gone has been widely published.

Although ignored by those who choose to do so.

As the current Israeli regime is occupying territories, oppressing
people with killings, torture , curfews, seizing land and resources
imprisoning many without charge or trial and gradually
developing more and more facts on the ground to prevent ever
returning land is why a regime change is desirable.


First of all, "by not-Muslims"? Would you say it was ok if Muslims oppressed other Muslims?


Being oppressed by outsiders always galls more than being oppressed by
your own. Weird but true.


Second, I agree, if Muslims(scratch that, if people) were being oppessed on their own land. They're not being oppressed, and they're not on their own land, they're on Israel's, which used to be Britain's, which it won fair and square from the Ottoman Empire in World War I.

All of Germany was defeated in the 2nd world war, who is still in occupation
having won it fair and square?
International law before Israel won any land fair and square clearly
stated that land may not be gained by conquest.
and you just know I'm going to mention 242
and don't even think to hide behind the pretence that
it means anything other than all territories.
"no territorial acquisition resulting from the threat or use of force shall be recognized as legal"

That is NO territorial acquisition not most a little or some.

Anything else is just childish
Put cookies back in jar does not mean keep as many as you like
as long as a bit of one goes back in.


Thing is if Israel had done it earlier it may already have had years of
peace. The rest of Europe is certainly glad it treated Germany
in the way it did and hasn't had constant strife to deal with but has a peaceful trading partner and ally.
If current and past Israeli governments had wanted peace they would
have made the moves, ceased the settlements and negotiated in good faith.
Are things not bad enough already that Israel must constantly push to
make it worse, victimhood can only be played for so long when
the power balance is all in Israel's favour.

To be honest it was Jewish land before Muslim land. The holy Islamic city of Mecca was founded by Jews of all people. So really how far back does one need to go?

Both committed mass killings and slaughters including of women and children. Both used the holocaust as justification or propaganda for their actions. Both are hated by the international community and invaded their neighbours. And both are feircely militaristic.

Anyone who converts to Islam to rebel or to it for other people or for attention should just go back to whatever they did before. A conversion to Islam is not something to take lightly or to play around with. One must be fully committed to God and only God. Hypocrites will not win God's favour.

1st I don't think Palestinians get more attention than other oppressed people because of some anti-jewish nonsense. I think it has more to do with the fact Middle gets more attention as a whole than say Kashmir or Chechnya.

People were forced to say this at knifepoint often, and were considered muslims.
when and where?

Isn't that the point of jihad?
No. The point of greater Jihad is to struggle to make yourself a better person. The point of the lesser Jihad is to defend your village or nation against aggression by unbelievers or the defense of people in another land calling out for help against aggression. If it is not either of these cases, it would not be a justifiable act of Jihad.

They rely on there holly book and post WW2 laws to ligve in someone elses country but instead of being considerate and listening to the people they decided to destroy them. They kill children who through stones at them and invade a country killing thousands purely becuase two soldiers are captured as a strike againsts the terrible conditions faced by lebanese POW's. We should not be fighting so called terrorists llike "hezbolar and hamas" instead we should help the to build lasting and sustainablee governments. Hitler was aterrible man but at least in the last hour of war he did not drop hundreds of thousands of cluster bombs designed to hit children specifically. Israel are onl;y seen as the good side as they are backed by america butr truelyt the are the worst people, and the true terrorists. they should not behave like this as they have suffered persecution and hate and so should know what it is like, and their crimes are particularly bad becuase they are in somone elses country. I feel the Instead of the IDF and mosad ruling the country then hamas should and thus take back what is riightfully theres as the peoiple of palistine are currently trapped and abused purely beacuse trhey fight to live iin their own country

And in the case of Israel also those countries who intentionally voted against the humans living in the land and for the UN plan to divide Palestine, carry a considerable part of the guilt of the death and displacement of Arabs. But the West has always been known to be anti-Arabic. Ever since Europe attacked the Arabs in its crusades, the West has demonized them and looked down on them. That has never changed. This is the real anti-Semitism. And in the last 100 years the West has come to further abusing Arabs by endorsing oppressive regimes in the petty states that the West managed to create in the region after the downfall of the Ottoman Empire. The reason for that of course is oil.
There never was a real reason for giving Jews a territory. If Jews cannot get along with everybody else, it's their fault and not everybody else's. They have to adjust their religion and pseudo-ethnic pride instead of everybody else having to put up with their weird ideology of being something special.

I've noticed that most of the things people are talking about, are in facts historical occurrences... and how things should have gone differently in their opinion.
Well, to that I say, what's the use? things been done for better or worse.... even if many here have a somewhat inaccurate perception of historical events.

And also, I often wonder how many people rely on certain sources with a bias to get their own facts instead of taking all the sources into consideration to create a fusion of information in order to get a better depiction of reality.
I mean, sure what the Pro israeli side say isn't all together accurate, but here's a news flash neither does the other side.
Basically, everything written here is in fact a verdict before examining the facts to the fullest and gathering all the evidence needed... It's like people of old looked at the moon and said that it is a light source on its own, when in fact on a more close inspection it isn't so.
So please, before executing the defendant, look beneath the surface in order to find the truth, and not as it is represented by secondary and tertiary sources.

So the most recent example of forced conversions you have are from over 200 years ago? Hell - some of these are from the better part of a thousand years ago!

Given that you are not providing examples from the last 8 generations or so of humanity is it fair to say it appears they have moved on a bit and that the religion today is not the same as the religion of 200 200 years ago?


I wonder... If a palastinian converts to judaism what happens to them? Are they then a Jew? Or are they still a Palastinian in the eyes of the law? Are they then allowed to travel to the west bank and come back for example? Or is it the race rather than the religion that is important?

A point about this: If you promote that the land is theirs by right of conquest then you also have to concede that it is the right of other people to take it from them by force. That they only hold the right to the land while they have the force to keep it. Might is right and all...

No what I am saying is that you cannot evict over 6 milion people because you belive they took land by force.
And if you belive that lands should not be taken by force and given back, are you ready to move, beause I'm pretty sure you are not aborigine.
And if anyone Arabs have no right to complain about their land being taken since of all nationalities today its them that spread most by conquest.
Someone asked about when where people forced to convert by knifepont. Well it was swordpoint but I'd reccomend to him to look at balkan conquests by Ottoman, Egypt conquest by Arabs and especially bloody conquests in india where milions of holy texts were destroyed and temples razed, because unlike people of the book (jews and christians) politeists don't have religious rights as far Islam is concerned. And everywhere Arabs went people who were not Islamic got 3 times as big tax as their Muslim neighbours.
When suddenly your religion is being taxed and you cannot feed your family because of it, so you have to convert of starve... is that not swordpoint conversion? I assure you tax collectors of the time had swords.
Before I'm attacked, Christians were no better, if anything they were worse. When Chrisitans conquered Jerusalem they slaughtered Muslims and burned Jews alive in their Sinagoge. Saladin when conqered Jerusalem again alowed everyone to leave. But Muslims cannot claim there was never forced conversions.

Let me make myself clear. I am not anti Islamic. I'm not pro Jewish. And I don't like Christian fanatics very much either.
In Palestinian conflict I have long ago took "plague on both their houses" view.
Jews say they want to limit civilian casulties, yet they seem perfectly happy when they kill one terrorist and fifty children. They claim they will recognise Arabic state, but they show no great willingness to do it, and don't speak of boarders at all.
And Arabs don't even pretend they want to limit anything, they target civilians and they don't even recognise the right of Israel to exist.
They both act horribly but Arabs tend to be little more honest about it.

If it is a nation, where was it 100 years ago? It's only a group of religiously motivated folks.

Hardly, the people who created israel were in fact secular socialists, religion wasn't much of a factor, I don't mean that it wasn't there, but they weren't religiously motivated, more like that wanted to escape the prosecution that the russians were enacting.

they are both of a similar breed and lets not mistake Israelis for Zionists. There are plenty of Non-Zionist Israelis and Jews around the world. The Israelis are cleverer and more intelligent than the Nazis ever were. They use the international community to their advantage. Hitler rejected it. Israel is very careful about how much it does but yet they are doing a lot of the same things in principle. That is the difference.

Which is why the majority of zionists who went to form Israel were in England and America.

1st I don't think Palestinians get more attention than other oppressed people because of some anti-jewish nonsense. I think it has more to do with the fact Middle gets more attention as a whole than say Kashmir or Chechnya.

Speaking of Kashmir, did anyone here what the President of Pakistan said in regards to Kashmir?

Also it has been Muslim land(both Palestine and Mecca) for thousands of years. So how are Muslims in Palestine wrong for defending their land and their people?

And it was Jewish land before the Muslims took it over. So how are Jews wrong for defending their land and their people? And I do not consider blowing up civilians defending their people.

If it is a nation, where was it 100 years ago? It's only a group of religiously motivated folks. Going to a foreign land to live there regardless who already lives there is cleansing. Or how else should a jewish family live on the land that fed an Arab family before?

Umm it is called paying for it? Yea I thought that did not cross your mind. As to livinging in a foreign land and living there, that is not technicly cleansing it.

some was paid for - but nothing even approaching the size of Israel now.

In the years before Israel was created, and shortly after, there was a concentrated effort by Zionist groups to drive the Palastinians off the land either by threat of violence, by actual violence against individuals or by exterminating entire villages to motivate palastinians in the surrounding villages to flee for their lives. These activities can fairly be called cleansing.

In a similar way the wall currently under construction and checkpoints set up in the West Bank to make it very hard for palastinians to settle or live in parts of the west bank while moving into parts the palastinians have been puched out of can also fairly be called cleansing.

Likewise a large portion of the settlements in the West Bank were built on either private land taken from palastinains, or land that was not property of Israel, once built palastinians are not allowed into the area, this can be called cleansing.

Again - in parts of Jereuslem Palastinians are not allowed to by property, to preserve the 'Jewishness' of the area. This also means that a Palastinian who owns a property in the area from before the laws cannot sell it to a palastinian - so it is also about 'improving' the ethnic purity of the areas. This is also fairly described as cleansing.

This thread has been stamped as "Pointless Trolling" by the Sarcasm Master (TM).
Just for arguments sake, how about a child?

Unfortunately for the children, Palestinians are now training and brainwashing them too, and giving them weapons. Children are much more capable of killing if they are trained to, simply because the whole maturity thing and the greater concepts of morality it brings up hasn't happened yet, and children are capable of more cruelty than anyone I know. Fairly soon Israeli troops will be torn between getting blown up and getting murdered by the international community for killing children.

Nevermind that a large number of suicide bombers are comparative kids these days (15-19 years old)....

Children are not innocents. Sorry to shatter your nicely ordered concepts of morality, but there it is.

Next argument for me to witheringly demolish with cutting verbiage?

there is no point having a conversation with someone that thinks using clusters bombs is ok.

Cluster bombs are a very effective area denial weapon. What's wrong with them?

israel kill random children and innocent adults.

Hardly.

Yes, people have died at the hands of Israel. But, out of defensive acts.

If all surrounding nations - and many others - didn't have a goal of eradicating Israel and there were no terrorist bombings or killings in Israel, Israel would be killing no one.

It's just a shame when nations defend themselves, isn't it?

some was paid for - but nothing even approaching the size of Israel now.

Brief summary of Israel:

- 3000+ years ago, assorted Hebrew tribes unite, fight off random Arabs, Hittites, Akkadians, Egyptians, Phoenicians et al. Form nation (Kingdom of Judea or some such thing).

- around 2500 years ago: Hebrews conquered by Persians.

- Shortly thereafter: Persians conquered by Greeks.

- Shortly thereafter: Greeks conquered by Romans.

- Romans expel Hebrews.

- Turks and Muslims conquer Romans.

- Hebrews move to Babylon or Eastern Europe or something.

- Hebrews displaced for a thousand years or so.

- Crusades occur; Europeans take over part of what is now Israel, and Lebanon, and Syria, and turn them into European-style states.

- Turks reconquer European-style states.

- Turks choose the wrong side in World War I, get pwnt. Ottoman Empire falls and its territories are divided up. Britain gets Palestine.

- Holocaust occurs.

- Jews upset because of Holocaust (for some strange reason), request state of their own.

- Zionists purchase some land from Britain; the UN gives them the rest. Area is roughly equivalent to Israel today except for the West Bank, Golan Heights, southern Negev and Gaza Strip.

- Arabs don't like it and attack Israel repeatedly, get pwnt same. In each defensive war Israel expands its territory until it has what it owns today.

- Israel is therefore a legitimate nation because it either bought or fought for most of what it holds today.

Ca suit.

you pro-israelis are just like the fourth holy reich, reality just flies out of the window and you just decide to ingnor facts. the purpose of cluster bombs is not to level the amount of deaths but increase as much as posible at random targets.

Speaking of ignorant...

So, Palestinian kids are idiots?
