  1. The real question is, why weren't the Palestinian territories divided by the UN annexed and "citizens" integrated into neighboring Arab states? Because the neighboring Arab States wanted to maintain the perpetual state of conflict with the Israeli's that remains to this very day.

    This is the kind of pap that AIPAC and the rest of the Lobby has mainstream USA believe. I'm surprised you fall for it but that's what a lifetime of exposure does to you, I suppose.

    Lemmmesee. Israel has lasting peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan. Its armistice with Syria has held up very well too (despite even of the theft of the Golan Heights). Saudi Arabia is a major ally.

    Israel's main nemesis is Iran (Islamic but not Arab) and its proxy Hezbollah.

    Its a main piece of Zionist revisionism that managed to swap Judaism's main historic nemesis, Christianity, for the Islamist one. In Christianity lays the firm roots of antisemitism. Jews in the Arab/Muslim world fared historically comparatively much better.

    1. Really? I'd always thought that the Spaniards kicked the Jews out of Spain for having sided with the Moors... but then that's when most people acknowledged that the Islamists were Semites, too.

  3. The term 'Judeo-Christianity', a particularly Orwellian inversion of truth and meaning, appears to have first surfaced in the early 50s. Now it's an integral part and parcel of the Zionist lingo. Quite clever, really...

    There were some instances of persecution of Jews in the Islamic world (see e.g. the Damascus Affair) but where are the pogroms and mass expulsions of Jews as we saw in Europe? There are none.

    Islam didn't have that fundamental theological 'dispute' (Jesus as son of G-d and Prophet) with Judaism that so poisoned Christian Judaic relations.

    Don't you think it's silly to refer to pre-911 Muslims as 'Islamists'?

    1. And of course Judaism and Christianity were rivaling 'sects', while Islam was born 6 centuries later.

      Persecution of Jews by Christians really took of when the latter became the Roman Empire's state religion.

    2. No, I was implying that anti- semitism arouse out of Spanish hatred for both Jews AND Muslims... Conversos/ Inquisition.

    3. As the Jews had lost aall power by Christ's time, and Christianity had acquired no power before Constantine in 315 AD, there really was no rivalry (for power at least) until the Moors allied with the Jews in Spain.
