Actually widespread knowlege of the Holocaust was 1942 or 1943. Not only did the people in the region that is today Jordan, Egypt, West Bank and Gaza reject a state in 1947 but the greater Arab world as well. That is why a coalition attacked immediately. They wanted it all.
Nothing has fundamentally changed in the Arab/Muslim world since…[Read more]

The Jewish people were looking for a state and a homeland – as are the Palestinians. They have the homeland without the state. It seems like the Palestinians are being used as footballs by all sides. A middle-Eastern homeland and state for a middle-Eastern people seems like a reasonable idea in principle, for both s…

@ Robert But how many of those baddies would exist except in response to Israel? By your standard the Iroquois Confederacy is a nation-state. Like the European Jews, they were forced off their land and either forced onto reservations (open air concentration camps) or forced into the general colonial population where they are often…

Simon, The Arabs leaders refused the 2 State solution that the Jewish leaders had accepted, back in 1947. The Palestinians could have had their own State but decided they wanted more of the land designated to the Jewish State. That was two years after the world learned about the Holocaust. A year later they found themselves in another war.

And no, you don’t get to arbitrarily pick a date when Israel began just because it is in the modern era. There are very few places where the very original inhabitants are still there, and Israel is one of them. In fact, the entire Middle East was absolutely non-Muslim until they conquered the region through war while worshiping their w…[Read more]

“In Kenya, Islamists show the caliber of person their faith has made them to be.” That is from Reg’ Sunday School. A couple of heart warming accounts of Islamic love.. So i just wonder if the rank and file of progressives would label that islamophobia?
This shows that there is good reason to fear Is-lame.
You can’t shame ME b…[Read more]

What a piece of shit video. Stop posting garbage man. Al Jazeera.
Or keep posting it. i just won’t waste my time again. If you really want to understand the historicity ya gotta read a few books. It is leaving out so much history. It is pathetic. And why wouldn’t it be misleading?
It is propaganda. Duh.Yea of course the region would be a mess…[Read more]

I answered your question. Yes, the area would be as or more violent if the Jews were not there. Even though the place would barely be worth fighting over.
Look around at all the peaceful Muslims in Sudan, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia, and the Congo that have nothing to do with Israel. Are there Jewish groups complete with suicide bombers…[Read more]

No problem unapologetic…Sunday School is an open forum. Aron Ra is an acquaintance of mine. We have shared a few beers and debates over the years since he first came to Dublin for the World Atheist Convention in 2011.
It took me a while to figure out why so many Christians worship Trump. It has nothing to do with their Faith. This is because…[Read more]

The Jewish State of Israel is one of the oldest countries in the world. Muslims didn’t show up until 1900 years after it was established. After the Jews it was the Assyrians, Romans, Christians, Muslims and the Jews again, but some Jews remained in the area the whole time.
However, if the Brits did not enable the remains of the s…

Have a great week everyone!
It’s not easy to change world views. Faith has its own momentum and belief is comfortable. To restructure reality is traumatic and scary. That is why many intelligent people continue to believe: unbelief is an unknown.

@ Jake I asked a simple question with a yes or no answer: Would the Middle East be the tinder box it is had Israel never been created? I haven’t heard you or anyone else say “Yes, it would,” so essentially you all agree with me, or so it would appear.
