    Question If Israel were not in the middle east ? (OP)


    The zionist country of Israel is the responsible for at least 50% of the wars and conflicts in the middle east. Don't you think the world would be better if Israel were not found in the middle east ?

    Should the country of Israel :

    1) stay in the middle east ?
    2) be created in Northern America : USA / Canada ?
    3) be created in Southern America ?
    4) in a scandinavian country ?
    5) in an Asian country ?
    6) in Australia ?
    7) No, Jews don't need a specific country. Israel shouldn't exist ?

    This is so confusing.
    Al Capp in his cartoon strip "Lil Abner" seems to have summed it up with a comic strip contained within the "Lil Abner" strip. The character of "Fearless Fosdick" the Peace loving character that killed everybody who wasn't peaceful. It was sort of a satire on the human nature of "Us versus Them"

    We all want peace, but too often people think the other guy is a threat to peace and must be destroyed.

    While all humans profess to wanting peace, too many see conquest as the means to achieve it. I do not see how there can be absolute world peace until the day comes that everybody lives under and in obedience of One God(swt). I see Islam as the solution, but there are those who see different and consider the destruction of Islam to be the solution.

    True. Foolish. I do not think that anybody can justify this in the name of God (no matter what book he reads).

    Seems like one big confusion caused by secular agenda blended with misunderstanding. Hopefully there will be peace. Only when truly God fearing people would say their word.

    Perhaps that isn't the best solution, but it is almost certainly the most practical and efficient solution. It's also the most likely solution. Here's hoping it'll happen soon.

    Very many of the sites Jews and Christians view as sacred are also of importance to us.
    I don't think there's many Christian sites that are also considered holy in Islam. However, there are numerous Jewish sites considered holy in Islam.

    Re: If Israel were not in the middle east ?

    I think there is a certain confusion going on.

    The problem isn't a dispute between Israel and Muslims about
    which sites are holy.

    The problem is that the Israeli authorities do not view any site
    as holy be it Christian, Muslim or any other religion.

    Israel is a secular country - period.

    True. Often we make the error of thinking the Zionist Government of Israel is based upon a religious belief. The fact is it is completely void of any religious guidance.

    True. It is rather sad because I get the impression that they are more confused and
    unguided than they are wicked.

    Re: If Israel were not in the middle east ?

    If Jews did 'deserve' a country of its own. Maybe the Western world should have given them a place somewhere in Europe.

    Why do the Palestinians have to suffer? Why was their land stolen?

    It's even worse that the Palestinians are now in a prison & are suffering daily at the hands of the Zionists.

    It would be nice if participants in this thread could remain civil and discus the subject matter in a mature manner. That would probably render this thread the only one of its kind not to erupt like an Icelandic volcano.

    I've removed a certain fiery off-topic tangent. Any complaints/hate-mail should be sent to the usual PM inbox.

    Re: If Israel were not in the middle east ?



    I just have a real problem with basing the existence of a state on "race." We are just the human race and that is it IMHO. Israel is based on the idea of a Jewish race. It is not a religious state, but based upon race. You have to show that you come from Jewish racial background through your mother to become a citizen, I believe.

    Is there another country in the world based on race? Just wondering.

    Re: If Israel were not in the middle east ?

    Israel should not exist in the first place, look into history and its crystal clear it was created in the most inhumane and brutal manner. Illegal immigrants flooded in from all parts of the world and started calling themselves 'Jews' Its all a sham, The TRUE Jews know the truth and dont recognize Israel so why should I?

    What Hitler did to the Jews was bad, but what the zionists did and are doing to innocent Palestinians is just as bad, if not worse. Rewind 70+ years back when there was no such thing as 'Israel'...When it was PALESTINE, everyone lived in peace and harmony, Arabs, Christians and Jews lived together without any problems. Once this barbaric, racist, satanic state called 'Israel' came to existence with the help of satan, the dynamics of the middle east and the world changed, Its there for everyone to see, Israel is without a shadow of a doubt... the root of all evil.

    Anyone who supports such a state has no decency in him/her and in my eyes, the lowest of the low.

    Well, I'm against any formation of a nation based on racial separatism or anything like that, I agree. I think the formation of Israel was probably a mistake, but it's here now, and it's going to go away. So Israel needs to stop being so aggressive and pursue a two-state solution.

    No it's not, it funds orthodox jewish religious activities and many of its laws are based on Jewish beliefs, such as their laws on marriage and citizenship. It doesn't have a separation of church and state.

    I am with ya on that.. Israel should be wiped off the map as one of the world leaders said. But one of the major sign of day of judgement is the big war of Muslims vs Jews.

    Re: If Israel were not in the middle east ?

    Salaam Aleikum everyone

    I think while it might not be in the most suitable place, it's there now and it's not going anywhere. Isn't this is what has happened throughout history though? People take over other people and steal their lands? It's happened since time immemorial and will most likely keep repeating itself.

    Comparing what Israel is doing to Palestinians to what the Nazi's did to the Jews is a big stretch: there's quite a difference in straight up genocide of millions of people to what is happening in Israel today. What the Israelis are doing is still terrible and should definitely NOT be happening! But I don't think you can compare the two.

    I just think that it is their government and its policies that are the major problems in that area of the world.

    Just remember that they're still human beings like the rest of us And if everyone keeps on the way we are, nothing will change.

    Israel is a secular country which funds a made up orthodox religion which fits its secular agenda. In fact - the money goes to corrupt the religion.

    That is - it is the secularity of the state which corrupts the religous concepts and not vice versa.

    What do I care about this?

    I ask my self when the people would start waking up...and not serve
    other people just because they see their faces in the news.

    The problem today is that we have this weird concept of a "goverment"
    or "goverments" and no normal concept of a community with religous
    leaders who represent the community rather than foolish ideas of
    foolish and un-guided people.

    The reason why it is like that is also clear....
