Re: Palestine wasn't forgotten by football fans as FIFA World Cup kicked off in Qatar

You’re the one who is twisting facts. The Arabs received 78% of the land when the Mandate for Palestine was split between the Hashemites and the Jews. “Historic Palestine”, if you would consult a map, included both sides of the Jordan. Jews are 4% of the population of the Middle East, but only control .5% of territory.

If the PA or Hamas believes it can’t be a viable state without more territory they should consider a federation with Jordan, as was recently proposed by the Saudis. Less than 30% of the population of Jordan is Hashemite. The rest share the same ethnicity as Pal Arabs.

As both King Hussein and his Prime Minister once noted, Jordan is Palestine. Arafat agreed. His mistake -greed. He thought he could take it over and was forced to run to his Syrian sponsors with this tail between his legs.

He believes in a Jewish state, a strong Israeli state able to defend itself, and a state to which Jews can make Aliyah when they choose or in time of need.

Gideon Levy’s reaction when he learned he was 100% European:

The first revelation, and the most important of all, struck me like a bolt of lightning. Unequivocally, definitively, no words spared. A huge headline across the full width of the screen:

šŸ”ø Gideon, your DNA suggests that 100% of your origin is Jewish-Ashkenazi.šŸ”ø

In other words, a 100 percent racially pure Ashkenazi Jew. An end to all doubts. But again, astonishingly, thereā€™s not a trace of the Land of Israel in my ancestorsā€™ journeys in the past 275,000 years. They never saw it, not even through binoculars. Itā€™s the definite end of my Zionism. My deep connection with the Land of Israel faded in an instant and became nonexistent. My parents and my grandparents had no previous connection with Palestine. Justice was with the Palestinians and BDS will triumph.

Re: ā€˜Deliberate ambiguityā€™: Israelā€™s nuclear weapons are greatest threat to Middle East ā€“ Middle East Monitor

The Arab world is fine with Israel’s nukes as they have had this nuclear technology way over 45 years, and never once threatened to wipe or clean another member state off the map or pages of history.

For a number of Arab Counties, a strong Israel is a hedge against against Iranian support for Hizballah, Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza, and various terrorist and militant groups in Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere throughout the Middle East. Iran has also used the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force to provide support to terrorist organizations, provide cover for associated covert operations, and create instability in the region.
