If you are implying that I'm being racist or a proponent of eugenics then that's a very gross extrapolation. I do believe that the Israelis have a superior way of life and society but don't think that had anything to do with genetics.

Not to mention the Armenian Genocide, Assyrian Genocide, and Greek Genocide, and one of the biggest Slave based empires since Mohammad. Erdogan wishes to bring back the Glory days of the Islamic Ottoman Empire

Without the use of similar tactics, the United States wouldn't exist. How far would you go to defend your homeland from what you believe is an invading force? Let the Palestinians have an army, air force and obtain weapons from foreign countries and you might have a point.
Pretty ineffective genocide as the Palestinian population keeps growing...

If Israel wanted to commit "genocide" on the Palestinians, Then within 48 hours, at least half of them would be dead. This hasn't happened because Israel doesn't want genocide.

Just because one believes that they are righteous and fighting the good fight against bad people doesn't mean it's true (ISIS, the Nazis, the Khmer Rouge...). Hamas' stated goal is the destruction of Israel. If they were capable of doing anything right, then I think there is little doubt that they themselves would do their best to engage in genocide.

I don't think I've met someone as adept at not answering a single question or even acknowledging a dissenting viewpoint so that they can just repeat slogans in quite some time...

Yes, once Muslims conquer your territory, and turn it into an Islamic Republic, they don't want to give it up. Islam has been at war with the West(And everyone else for that matter, including themselves) for the last 1400 years and it has never stopped.

Democrat/Republican dilemma. Most Jewish people in the US support the State of Israel and are Democrat. Most Republicans seem to also support the state of israel Most Muslims in the US despise the State of Israel and are also mostly Democrats

Uh, no. That's the propaganda from the Islamic side.


PALESTINIAN IRE

If I understand the controversy, it goes something like this:
Doofus European Jews, funded by widespread drives, buy some crappy land sold by crafty Locals. City boys and girls, with hard work and scientific methods, turn around and transform that crappy land into some of the most productive farmland in the Middle East. Sellers are embarrassed / remorseful.

Along comes the golden opportunity. The British are about to leave and transfer administration to the two power blocs - Jews and Muslims. The Brits deliberately arm the Muslims and forbid the Jews from having arms - so that they’d acquiesce to a permanent Brit presence. Doesn’t sway them. The Jews promise peace and justice, etc. While all the Islamic neighbors plan to exterminate the Jews. The neighboring countries give a "friendly" warning to fellow Muslims to "get out of the way," and not to defend their lands against fellow Muslim invaders / liberators. Everyone assumes that Israel will fall, and so the Palestinian Muslims abandon their properties ahead of the fireworks.

But Israel prevails. D'oh. Plan backfires.

This is compounding the insult upon Islam - not only are they shown up to be lousy incompetent farmers, now they're shown up as lousy incompetent fighters.

Much loss of face.
Unacceptable insult to Islam.

To compound the situation, the refugees are unwilling to return and swear allegiance to the victorious Israeli government, and instead adopt the mantra, that Israel must be exterminated, lest she shows up Islam even more.

This is acceptable to the rest of Islam, and thus we come to the present.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_Israel

Modern agriculture developed in the late nineteenth century, when Jews began settling in the land. They purchased land which was mostly semi-arid, although much had been rendered untillable by deforestation, soil erosion and neglect. They set about clearing rocky fields, constructing terraces, draining swampland, reforesting, counteracting soil erosion, and washing salty land. Since independence in 1948, the total area under cultivation has increased from 408,000 acres (1,650 km2) to 1,070,000 acres (4,300 km2), while the number of agricultural communities has increased from 400 to 725. Agricultural production has expanded 16 times, three times more than population growth.

LITTLE ISRAEL v GOLIATH
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel...tate_of_Israel
On 14 May 1948, the day before the expiration of the British Mandate, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, declared "the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz-Israel, to be known as the State of Israel".

The following day, the armies of four Arab countries—Egypt, Syria, Transjordan and Iraq—entered what had been British Mandatory Palestine, launching the 1948 Arab–Israeli War; Contingents from Yemen, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Sudan joined the war.
(For a total of EIGHT Muslim nations)
- - -
ISRAEL (area) 20,770–22,072 km2 (8,019–8,522 sq mi)
[In contrast, New Jersey (area) 22,591.38 km2 (8,722.58 sq mi)]

All Islam cannot tolerate a tiny Jewish state, smaller than New Jersey?
*(and mostly desert !)

Total area of Egypt, Syria, Transjordan, Iraq, Yemen, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan = > 2,311,275 sq mi (271 times the size of Israel)

EGYPT: 1,010,407.87 km2 (387,048 sq mi)
SYRIA : 85,180 km2 (71,500 sq mi)
JORDAN : 89,341 km2 (34,495 sq mi)
IRAQ : 437,072 km2 (168,754 sq mi)
YEMEN : 527,968 km2 (203,850 sq mi)
MOROCCO : 710,850 km2 (274,460 sq mi)
SAUDI ARABIA : 2,149,690 km2 (830,000 sq mi)
SUDAN : 1,886,068 km2 (728,215 sq mi)
- - -


Since they cannot win by conventional warfare, they are using psychological warfare, based on fabrication and deception to gain support for their surreptitious conquest of Israel.
They're using their own people as cannon fodder, to wrench the hearts of the world.

It is not working, since the infidels are waking up and disregarding the lies peddled by the jihadis and zealots. Their allegiance is to eternal jihad against all infidels. Their protests are theatrics, not a cry for justice. Their goal is the eradication of Israel by any means, fair or foul.

Hamas is always advocating genocide of Israeli Jews. Israel on the other hand takes great care to avoid harming women and children when possible but that is not always possible. Israel also is treating Syrian civilians all the time despite the fact Syria is still legally in a state of war with Israel.

Ok victors write history and also the plan.All I know is this is not a sudden event to have happened in a day. Some books written in 20's say the new state would eventually be created under religious grounds but ultimately as a safe haven in case of any crimes.

And what was happening in Germany in 30's is happening in USA now too - excessive power in government, media control, financial control and even Philantropy (LOL).

Example is the daily hate campaign against Trump , who wishes to MAGA by seeking peace with everyone.
