OT.
Oh, that's it! Easy. Repeat after me: "Jews are a people and Judaism is their religion." There, all done!
We've had this discussion before, right? If Muslim and Christian Arabs had accepted Jewish Arabs as fellow Arabs they wouldn't have kicked them out once the Turks and Brits departed. Instead - starting with Jordan in 1920 - they kicked the Jews out, the new Arab rulers seizing their property as gifts to cronies and to otherwise strengthen their own authority. Doing so usually violated one or more treaties in international law - but you don't care about that, do you? The Ottoman rulers did and not one but two Caliphs recognized the right of the Jews to their own state if and after the Empire fell. Because the middle east is made up of different nationalities, not just Arabs. Over 20% of Israel's population isn't Jewish - indeed, Israel just
recognized Arameans as a separate nationality earlier this week.
What love should the world have for the Palestinian Arab "refugees", exactly? Their parents and grandparents (and sometimes great-grandparents) made a point of selling their land to Jews then attempting to murder the Jews to get it back. Just as THEIR grandparents in the nineteenth century welcomed Christian missionaries (who were out to convert Christians and Jews, not Muslims) only to murder them after they had harvested their first or second crop. That's why both Europeans and Americans sent gunboats to Palestine then.
There's only one sane conclusion: the Arabs who murdered and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Palestine were
criminals. They had no claim on the Jews of Israel, having forfeited their civil and property rights in international law (British Mandate) by their murderous efforts. The Arab leaders who encouraged the revolt have some responsibility but it's primarily their own fault. And while their descendants may merit some pity for having been born in such a situation that pity stops at the point they decide to seek the genocidal ambitions of their parents and grandparents.
But weighing conflicting claims to justice isn't what Arabs are about, is it? Were you ever taught the history I just recounted in your school? Can you even repeat it to others without distortion?
I have nothing to be embarassed about, al-Hasani. But you do, don't you? Because you're advocating injustice and by doing so showing the world that Arabs - and by short extension Muslims - don't care about justice but about make-believe justice to serve their own interests.
Work to establish freedom of speech and debate in your own home, al-Hasani. Then you can be free to talk and use reason to reach moral judgments that may be worth something.
