I’m not one to prescribe to conspiracy theories but I agree Arguably The most well defended area on the planet misses 1500 terrorists training and planning an attack that Egypt warned them about, there’s also the reports that Hamas expected to get less than 10 hostages and couldn’t believe how little resistance they faced I think Netanyahu might be on a personal mission to erase Palestine after militants killed his brother IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 1 hour ago, NashvilleNinja said: But why was Israel given back to the Jews after so long? What was the rationale? Well, after the Holocaust (which was really just a cap to centuries worth of antisemitetic discrimination and pogroms across Europe), the West decided that Jews had suffered endlessly at the hands of Christian-dominated Europe. So there was a general agreement that they should have a country of their own so that they were no longer the persecuted minority. Israel's location was picked because of the biblical/historical connection. The British had conquered the Ottoman Empire during WW1 so they had control over Palestine and could largely do what they wanted. After WW2 the West agreed to use part of that territory to create a new state of Israel where the original Israel existed. There were also plans over the years to re-settle Jews in Ethiopia or Uganda. Not surprisingly, the locals were no more happy with the idea of arbitrarily losing their land to a bunch of immigrants than the Palestinians were. Would they have made better options? Seems unlikely, but who knows… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s life being in any extreme religious minority almost anywhere on earth. Majorities inherently oppress minorities. Jews were going to be a minority group in every country up until modern Israel was founded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t possibly see it happening, but the alternative is civilian deaths. So if you want to criticize people for caring about civilian deaths then I don’t know what to tell you.
