If you look at the maps Palestine is getting smaller and smaller over time. They're getting conquered, so they gotta send rockets and fight or embrace being totally conquered. Meanwhile Israel is playing the card “we have to defend ourselves from crazy people” . (limited knowledge of this issue....)
That's why the arabs are filled with hatred for Israel, seems to me. If this wasn't happening there'd probably be more peace in the world.
I wonder just how far they will get. But they haven't got full control of Jerusalem (militarily yes though)... This, in their tradition and culture, is very important to them, it seems to me.Those maps are a very vivid insight into how Israel has systematically expanded its control of more and more terrority in the last 70 years. If you talk to ultra nationalist Israelis the march has along way to go.
On the other hand not every Jew in Israel or worldwide supports the current practices.
Pretty sure non-Jewish people are not allowed to be naturalised citizen of Israel.

They are being bought out. Jews buy land or houses in contested areas (I think they het paid by the state) They keep buying till they own the whole area.If you look at the maps Palestine is getting smaller and smaller over time.

Theres a lot in Israel that protest as well.You don't want to be a Jew protesting against Israels treament of Palestinians.
I am American, Jewish and banned from Israel for my activism

I support nonviolent boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel in order to support Palestinian rights. The move to ban me and others will backfire

This month, the Israeli government announced that activists affiliated with 20 organizations, including my organization Codepink, would be banned from entering Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories because of our support for the nonviolent boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement for Palestinian rights.
As a Jew, this causes me tremendous sadness because I have a lifetime attachment to Israel and Palestine. It also deepens my commitment to working for peace and equality for all the peoples of the region.
I first went to Israel 50 years ago, right after the June 1967 war. I was 16 years old and spent the summer living on the kibbutz Ein Gedi, right on the Dead Sea. I loved the kibbutz, where I learned about farming, communal living and socialism (yes, it was a socialist kibbutz at the time). I also learned, however, about the contempt and racism many Jews exhibited towards Palestinians and other Arabs.

Something like 3/4 of Israel are Jews...that's a lot of chutzpah in such a small area!
I think there are plenty of Arab citizens, but identify as something else.

Those maps and how they are presented are bs as well.

Look up the Persian/arab relationship. There is a massive amount of history. To borrow from someone else:
And thats just a start.
- Arab invasion of Iran in the 7th century which lasted for two centuries.
- Iraqi invasion of Iran by the Saddam Hussein.
- Saudi Arabia's policy on spending millions of money to change the name of Persian Gulf.
- UAE's policy on claiming Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf.
They are also the wrong kind of Muslims according to other Muslims.
Those maps and how they are presented are bs as well.
Im sure you guys have a similar map of Australia.
Hypocrites.
Rinse, repeat and soon enough you get yourself a suburb or two. Get the Evangelical idiots around the world to help fund it and done.
.
Australia has already been conquered. The Palestinians are not yet conquered , but in the process of being conqueredIm sure you guys have a similar map of Australia.
Hypocrites.
The Evangelicals and Trump /Republicans have this kind of religious view, which isn't actually universal to Christianity (just there view). It doesn't make sense when you think about it. Why would they greatly favor Jewish people when Jewish people tend not to be much impressed with Christ (to say the least).
