Israel - Palestine Conflict Discussion Thread

[Jjang 2,262]

Well... do you feel in danger while walking in your city? Do you feel Israelis you meet hate you for being who you are?

There are extremists on both of the sides. My friend once walked near a construction building where some Arabs worked in and they yelled at him "Yahud" or something like that which I know means "Jew" right? And he told me they repeated it a couple of times until he just walked.

But again...this is our society. It doesn't represent anything. 

 

 I don't feel like Racism is strong in Israel. I am not an Arab but I see all the times Arabs. There is no apartheid here or anything like that and you know it

There are ufcourse racist extreme rights that are stupid as **** but they are not strong anyways and they never will be strong in the society.

 

To answer the first few questions, yes, I've met Israelis that "hated" me simply because I'm an Arab, shocking! (not really)

 

 

 

and for the bold statement, they're not strong in society? its not that hard to log on FB alone and see all the extreme rights comments dominating everywhere, while only a FEW & SMALL percents actually being non racist.

 

And stop referring to the racism in Israel as a fair & square cycle of racism towards both Arabs and Jews.

It's uploaded on a official youtube channel

Are you telling me you speak Arabic? I didn't know they teach it in Kosovo.

There are over 200 dead. The OP is quoting pro israeli propaganda machine called memritv, founded by ex idf officer, who mistranslate and edit videos to make all Arabs look like idiots!

What you are doing here is disrespectful to the victims and AGAIN trying to justify evil doings of your own government. Wake up! Your own media isn't even free!

But that's not even true. The media in Israel is even counted Pro-Palestine. There is a newspaper in Israel that has the complete opinions on the government you have and is allowed to publish that.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday defended Israel's ground invasion of Gaza.

Interesting considering the current situation I guess, it's a pity that there's so much loss of life though, all of which is completely unnecessary :/

 

Also, this article; which basically says the same thing

EDIT:

 

Maybe a more accurate article from Reuters,

and also a German source;

Please, Israel has the exact same thing with MEMRI

I don't even believe this is true, people from here cannot verify it when they don't understand Arabic. Of course they try to justify attacks, now suddenly it's all lie, no any civilian is harmed, they were all terrorists, IDF are good guys. Ugh.

But that's not even true. The media in Israel is even counted Pro-Palestine. There is a newspaper in Israel that has the complete opinions on the government you have and is allowed to publish that.

Read the article in the link. It's written by American Jew who has been to Israel and speaks Hebrew.

I certainly don't belong to a small percent of people. The parliament is the best source in order to show what is really happening in our society.

Merez ( The left party of Israel) only got stronger last year's elections with 6 mandats.

While Bibi Natenyahu only got weaker.

Yair Lapid got really stronger and we both know he holds a very non racist worldview.

[ReRe 1,957]

I'm appalled. Losing respect for her.

[CHANTEL 2]

I though Germany was one of the Reasonable countries

[lego 44,165]

Still feeling guilty for the holocaust.

[Cupid 760]

world war 3 is coming for all our weaves

 

Maybe with the Ukraine - Russia conflict yes, but the conflict surrounding Israel and Gaza has been an on-going situation since 1948, wont lead to any world war.

 

And please tone down the sassy twink talk in these serious threads.

*How exactly? just going by the fact the Bibi Natenyahu got ELECTED says it all, The Parliament holds a stronger side for the Rights.

Is it just me who cannot decide who's in the right here? I find both Israel and Palestine at fault and both have legitimate concerns...

[Qualle1 1,385]

Interesting to see, that the "euobserver" forgot to mention, that German Chancellor Angela Merkel also stated, that the German Government is still hoping and aiming for a "diplomatic solution"!

[hmm 979]

And please tone down the sassy twink talk in these serious threads.

 

I agree with this completely, the amount of bandwagoning statuses is pathetic over something so serious when it amounts to loss of life.
