And I can’t support that even more Jewish people than Palestinians were forced out of Arab and Moslem countries after the founding of the state of Israel. Nearly one million Jewish people had to flee countries that they lived in for over two millennia, long before the advent of Islam. They did not start a war with their Arab or Moslem neighbors that provoked their displacement. They were forced to flee because of Arab and Moslem persecution. I am sick of Arabs claiming or implying that all of the land of Israel was taken by force with no consideration for the fact that land was purchased by Jewish people and agencies and the Arabs who did leave did so after neighboring Arab countries started a war of annihilation and lost. They always seem to forget that the original partition gave them the best and most fertile portions of the land and they rejected that and opted for a winner take all war. The Palestinians have, through their own actions and unwillingness to accept compromise and sharing, created a situation where Israel and its neighboring Arab countries find it extremely difficult to live with them in peace. They need to change and prove to the world that they can live in peace and accept compromise.

I’m glad these two can sit down together and I pray for a peaceful two state solution. At the same time, I’m tired of the lies and disingenuousness. The Arabs started war with the nascent state of Israel in 1948 and several times after that. They were offered a two state solution several times but refused the deal each time. I can see that there are moderate Palestinians but their society is largely driven by radical Islamism and hate. I’m not saying Israel is perfect but I believe the suffering of the Palestinians was and is mainly self inflicted - including and especially the current situation in Gaza, brought on knowingly by Hamas’ and Islamic Jihad’s attack on October 7th. By the way, before the intifadas there were no check points or walls and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians went to work in Israel. The more there is violence coming from the Palestinians the more hardline the Israelis become. At the same time, there are 2 million Arab citizens of Israel with equal rights. I hope for change but it will be difficult…

[@Bea2u]

If neither professor mentions the hostility of the Muslim Arabs from as early as the 1920s and refusals of partition plans and 2 state solutions, all the riots, pogroms, wars, intifadas and violence they started and continue to carry out, the professors are omitting an important reason why Israel tends to be hypervigilant about security. We just saw what happened when they were lax. The October 7th massacre, when Hamas broke the last ceasefire. Neither the Jews nor the Muslim Arabs ruled Palestine. So who was going to persuade the British and the UN who should rule the tiny sliver of a country in the split-up Ottoman Empire? (Never mind that most became Arab Muslim countries and there was no Jewish country anywhere) The Arabs refused the partition plan. They started a war. If you start a war, and leave villages because you are told to by your leader, because you are fighters, or because a battle starts and you want to get out of the way, why would you expect to be welcomed back when the other power wins the war? Why wouldn't the Israelis think that the Arabs would continue to be hostile? The Palestinian Liberation Organization was started before 1967, before disputed territories, before settlements. And why many assume that Palestinians are interested in peace, compromise and democracy is surprising to me. Where is the evidence? Where is the peace language or peace behavior? When was the last time there were elections in Gaza and West Bank, and opposition was allowed? How about in any neighboring country in the area?

The notion of displacement and Nekba is a generational lie that the Arab gov'ts came up with to continue their age old Jew hatred and to extinguish the idea of an ancestral Jewish homeland. Arabs have been attacking Jews since the beginning of time and it had nothing to do with land or "Palestine".

Who are the Palestinians? Just the day before yesterday, Arabs threw stones into a Jewish school in central Israel. The children were frightened, and they had to be taken out through the back gate. What if it had been worse than stones? What if there had been kidnappings? How long will Jews have to endure this antisemitism? The lies of the media?

[@noravaisman1230]

My problem is when palestinians are called palestinian people?. my grandmother, in her passport or document was written that she comes from Palestine. She was jewish. Palestine was a region. The people in the region arabs. Druze, jewish living in Palestine BTW, the british established the conquered area a Palestine. I think that in the 60's is about the time when the name Palestinian people began to be used as a Unity, as if the syrians were not palestinians, as if Arafat was the ultimate palestinian whereas he studied engineering in Egypt As if my genetics is nos palestinian. where in the map it was clear that was half palestinian 😢

Palestine was composed of the 3 religions before the British occupation and the zionist project. The anti Judaism was an European problem. West asked Palestiniens to resolve of an European problem

We will see a Palestine state in our lifetime. I guarantee it. They deserve their own autonomy and independence. Maybe not right at this moment because they need to face severe accountability and punishment but that will lead to the formation of their new country with a reminder to behave themselves.

Israel needs to face severe accountability for their terrorist attacks towards Palestinians!

Yeshua left you the (trinity) in which a house could stand. Think of Israel as the father. Palestine as the son. And Jerusalem as the ghost!!!!!. Its not a 2 state thing. Its a federally that must happen period. A round table of Israeli and Palestinians with 3 states of Israel at mind. No walls or segregation

[@adigabai]

Israel doesn't have an open border policy for a reason. The walls (mostly fences) were built after the 2nd intifada, and regardless of a separate state, they will most likely stay there as borders, like they are now. There are no walls or segregation when it comes to the Israeli Arabs. They are citizens like any other.
