Wicca is an attempt to revive old pagan traditions, and was banned until the 50s when provisions of the Witchcraft act were removed from British Law

Why not establish a Jewish homeland in an island paradise? Why choose a dusty collection of old rocks? Because of religion obviously, and history. And if some Arabs happened to be in the way, oh well, collateral damage, nothing more.

I'm a Gnostic. What if we got together and re-took southern France? So what if a bunch of French Catholics are in the area? Big Deal. We'll just wall them all up somewhere and deny them basic human rights, and then react with dismay as they start throwing homemade bombs at us and begin and endless tit-for-tat war with them and the US government could fund it.

And before I get anyone asking about why southern France: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albigensian_Crusade


The point, which should be obvious, is this: if any other group was doing what the Israelis are doing, the planet and the US would be up in arms. But because of religion and a belief that some big mean guy in the sky gave a group of people exclusive rights to a chunk of land, they get it and get money that should be spend on the American people, many of whom, like myself, do not believe in that absurd story or believe that Jesus will come back and needs Israel to be there to serve as the octagon for his MMA title match against his evil twin.

If the Roma (gypsies) took a piece of their ancestral home in Pakistan: all hell would break loose
If the Pagans took back what is owed to them, like territory or even just the Pantheon in Rome: all hell would break loose
Hell, if a black nationalist army was to go to Liberia to retake, all hell would break lose, an international coalition would be sent to drone attack them, etc.

But Zionists take over Israel? "ahh...stand with Israel!"

OP, you need to be educated. Why would anyone care if the Romani went to Pakistan and made a country out of it? It's their ancestral homeland, but also Pakistan is a failed Islamist state. I'd personally be more than happy to see them return there, and many others would too. Nobody cares about nuclear-armed, corrupt, terrorist Pakistan except for terrorists and the liberals who defend them.

And as for the Arabs having nothing to do with the Holocaust, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, met several times with Hitler and planned for the extermination of Jews in the Near East as soon as Hitler succeeded in Europe. Al-Husseini trained thousands of Balkan Muslim troops to assist Hitler. And at the time, anti-Jewish hatred was on the rise in the Islamic World. Look up the Farhud of Iraq, just one of several pogroms inflicted by Arab Muslims against Jews.

That'd be pretty cool movie. Jeremy Irons could play the villain.

According to Benjamin Freedman, Israel was given back for a different reason.

What happened to the Jews and millions of others during the holocaust is what the Jews are doing towards the Palestinians today

You need a calculator. Over the past 100 years Jews have not killed Arabs anywhere near 0.5% of the amount of Jews killed during WW2 under the Germans AND the Russians.

Doesn't matter how many Jews vs. Arabs got killed; it's 21st century not 1930s. So I guess Jews should kill 6 million Arabs to be satisfied and make it up

Where is "though shall not kill"?

Arabs live in Israel as equal citizens, how about Jews in Gaza?
