    The World: Everyone dislikes you and you are unsafe because you persecute everyone else

    Israel: …? … we need to persecute everyone to keep us safe and make everyone like us.

      It’s fair to say that’s not the only reason some people dislike them. Doesn’t really excuse most of what Israel’s done, but the true bastard of the story is naturally the British empire for creating/enabling the whole mess to begin with.

    Arab and Persian Islamofascists attack Israel with every means at their disposal, Israel needs to put into their building codes requirements for a saferoom to protect against Arab and Persian Islmaofacist missile attacks and invasion … Lemmy commenters : It’s the Jews fault

    I mean, can you imagine. Jews, slaughtered in mainland Europe and the Middle East for 2 thousand years, are able to return to their native homeland only to be targeted by Muslims who simply cannot countenance a Jewish controlled land area the size of Rhode Island, attack it through conventional and terrorist means without end, and when Israel defends itself, the “progressive liberal” world blames them for not simply giving up and letting the Muslims kill them more

    Madness

      I think you’re ignoring the reason why they are fighting to begin with.

      are able to return to their native homeland only to be targeted by Muslims who simply cannot countenance a Jewish controlled land

      First of all, Israeli and Palestinian are both descendents of the Canaanites who lived all over the Mediterranean especially the levanth.

      Secondly the Ottoman Empire was the first state that allowed Jews to immigrate from European persecution in the first place. The only reason Israel and it’s neighbors have problems is because Israels expansionist policies, and their treatment of Palestinians.

      Wow, is this ever an old, weak and woefully incomplete take. There’s so many ways this statement could be more accurate and complete in a logical fashion.
