Are you kidding? Winning land in wars is as old as time itself. If the Arabs would have won, no Jew would have been left alive and all the land and property taken.
Arabs would have won they will say God is on their side and they were prophesied to be victors against the evil "Joos"..now they have difficult accepting that bunch of resourced strained "Jooos" won against Arabs + God (as per Arab popular propaganda)
I think somebozo is a troll. He hates Arabs, Iranians, Indians, Shias. But fond of Israelis!
too quick to judgement..I dont hate arabs..before I jump on the bandwagon of hating arabs..can you look around yourself say the actions of your leaders are earning enough hate for your already...From Qatar to Libya tell me one Arab accomplishment in last 100 years?
I am not here to preach love or hate against or for someone..and my opnion about Israel has always been positive and dig my old thread you will realize I am a strong proponent of Pak-Israel long term strategic relations. Just look at their accomplishement and impact in world affairs despite being a tiny resource-starved country. Now compare it Arabs, not only they insist in stick into bow and arrow times in the name of islam but pull progressive minded people down with them as well.
Even bigger problems is Arab stone age mentality and medival land disputes are now spilling terrorism in our own country. A student of hate is just taught to exploit difference to build his case and he can used the learned skill toward anyone and anything. The beginning is always with a chapter of how god banished jews and how they are the accursed people and one the element of hate started to grow roots in an amateur mind the shadow of this hate tree expand to multiple arenas..soon the victim is hating his neighbor, his country men, his government and at times himself as well. The constant bombardment of Palestinian propaganda in arab world not only creates depression but has now turn into a target that eliminating Israel is the solution of all problems in the arab world when in reality the arab world problems are their corrupt and incompetent leaders who use Israel as a scape goat to legitimize their own corrupt rule.
Why not accept the truth with a pinch of salt??? Admitting truth is the first step to helping yourself and coming out of the illusion your leaders want you to live in.
Last few weeks, I have been having a regular gathering with highly qualified Saudi professors - many of whom were serving in the west and that is going a long way to help me become disillusioned about many things.
Interesting. I knew that the Arab-Jew divide was initially a result of preconceived hostilities due to the whole Abrahamic bloodline affair, but I figured tensions between the two only escalated after prophet Mohammed started to spread his message in the Medina.
Arab - Jew divide is not the only one, Arab had historic conflict with the Persians and the Romans as well. The prime cause was the Arabs were nomads who roamed around the dessert occupying land at will and bringing in a lot of destruction with them. Even the Arabs themselves are roughly divided in two..the Najdi arabs being largely backward, dry and nomadics whole the Hejazi Arab where almost the entire Arab civilization is concentration.
The Hejazi Arabs has long history of co-existence with the Jews as well as regular trade across the Syrian and Persian routes, despite outbreak of occasional hostilities - peace and co-operation prevailed at large.
Infact so dry is Najd that it has been referred as the cursed land and subsequently none of the Islami empire or state choose to meddle in its affairs or build their capital there. Najd is where the classic character of caravan looting Bedouin robbers originates.
Prophet himself made alliances with the Jews of Medina and only ordered to expel them when the Jewish tribes were caught violating the terms of truce and defense agreements. This was purely a political moves not a religious one. And expelling complete tribes for violating a warfare or defense pact was the norm of punishment in Arabia. This is how Arab ended populating the vast ME and North Africa with vast swathes of untouched barren desserts in between.
