How typical that a poster here, Ikka, would not express his/her perplexed state of mind regarding the criminal behavior of Germany, Poland, Morocco, Armenia, Turkey, Russia, China or any of the Muslim countries currently slaughtering innocents around the world.
After World War II - Poland annexed 10% of historic Germany (East Prussia). Does Poland deserve its land based on its criminal behavior? Or how Morocco controls the Western Sahara? Or how Armenia has controlled 15% of neighboring Azerbaijan since 1994? Or how Turkey has controlled half of Cyprus since its 1974 invasion? Or how Russia has controlled the Kurile Islands off northern Japan for 63 years and China has occupied Tibet since 1950?
The humor is in the fact that one poster is so perplexed by facts that they can’t answer for why they are not outraged that Czechoslovakia expelled its Sudetenland Germans from their homes after World War II? Or that the Poles expelled millions of Germans from East Prussia in 1945? Or that thousands of Turkish Cypriots were displaced by Greek military forces in the 1960s while Turkish forces displaced thousands of Greek Cypriots from Northern Cyprus after their 1974-1976 war? Or that 450,000 ethnic Chinese were expelled from Vietnam in 1978-1979? Or that the Bangladeshis expelled over three million Hindus in 1974? Or that 250,000 Georgians were displaced from Abkhazia between 1993 and 1998, not to mention more than 500,000 ethnic Russians in Chechnya who were displaced during the First Chechen War in 1994-1996 and more than 800,000 Kosovar Albanians who were expelled from Kosovo in 1998-1999?
But most importantly, there are currently 30 conflicts around the world and 25 of them involve Islam. Muslims are slaughtering innocents in Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Bosnia, Congo, Cote d’Ivoire, Cyprus, East Timor, India, Indonesia (2 provinces), Kashmir, Kazakastan, Kosovo, Kurdistan, Macedonia, the Middle East, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Sudan, Russia-Chechnya, Tajikistan, Thailand, Uganda and Uzbekistan.
Just as Germans can live in France and the French in Germany, Jews should be and will continue to live in their homeland and remain in Hebron and Gaza as Arabs remain in Jaffa and their Galilee villages.
I would have felt better if Ikka had any guts to mention his recognition of the goals of Hizbullah as part of an axis of terror which also includes Syria, Iran and Hamas, to set the region in flames and dictate the Israeli-palestinian agenda.
Apparently, Ikka is too busy launching attacks against Israeli society to take much notice.
The fact that Jews in the British Mandate have been attacked by Arabs since the early 1900’s - was not because of any territorial dispute - but just because Jews existed.
No doubt Islam is the root of the problem. The fact that currently there are 30 conflicts around the world and 25 of them involve Islam proves my point.
Poland "annexed" nothing. Stalin "gave" Poland East Prussia after taking even more Polish land and incorporating it into the Soviet Union.
Hey, stuff happens.
Your premise was "Jews have a more valid claim to Jerusalem than anyone else" citing religious beliefs and behaviors as part of that.
I pointed out some holes in your argument - that Rothschild politically influenced the British to write the Balfour Declaration; that God kicked the Jews out of Jerusalem by using the Romans, and if He wanted the Jews back no political machinations were necessary.
You seem to be one of those folks who support a side of an argument but without the background in history and politics to truly defend it.
