The Arab world of advancement came to end with the introduction of Islam

Guess that’s news/blasphemy in some circles.

He better join a witness protection program.

“The Arabs’ resistance against Israel must start with their reading of these numbers and these facts. Indeed, they have spared no blood, martyrdom, or [self-]sacrifice, but they have been negligent in the areas of science, economy, society, and politics that are the source of Israel’s strength–just as they are the source of our failure in confronting it.”


In other words, to exterminate the Jews, they must first get their house in order. The world will be a better place when Islam is erased from this planet, and every last imam killed on sight, and possession of a Koran made a capital offense, to be administered summarily with a gallon of gasoline and a Zippo.

Last 100 years. They didn't invent suicide bombings, but it's fair to say they perfected the technique. I'd give them credit for the vests, and ball bearings in rat poison. Same with airplane hijackings, in conjunction with European Communists. The most significant of the century, they invented palestinians.

I’m almost ready to call it the Trump Doctrine - Acting in National Self-Interest

This gent’s point is that he hates the Jews, but at least they’re organized.

The missed opportunity is that the Arabs could have been engaged in the same sort of quasi-beneficial motivational tension that the US had with the Soviets.

Competition, for the most part, improves systems.

Who will be soon facing a fatwah. He should call Salman Rushdie for sanctuary ideas.

Israel even has more patents each year than the United States of America.

WTF are loser Arabs making besides bombs, booby traps and suicide bombers?

Bingo. The reason for this is a false "religion" called Islam. Start with a false premise and nothing that follows is true, even though it seems to be. Golda Meir: “We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.”

That hate come from a false "holy" book called the Koran. The Jews revere the Torah, therein lies the reason for their existence and accomplishments.

Truth hurts... Muslims need to fix their own problems and move on.

Allah is not presented as a lawful creator but has been conceived of as an extremely active God who intrudes on the world as he deems appropriate. Consequently, there soon arose a major theological bloc within islam that condemned all efforts to formulate natural laws as blasphemy insofar they denied Allah's freedom to act.

If God does as he pleases, and what he pleases is variable, then the universe may not be lawful. Thus, muslim theology did not provide the necessary fundamental assumptions for erecting the concept of science based on observations leading to formulate natural laws.

as long as the Muslims keep trying to ‘confront’ Israel, they will continue to suffer

trying to ‘confront’ another people is at the root of their problem

they need to dump their sh**ty Koran what with all its HATE ATTACK LIE RAPE and CONQUER instructions, the Koran reads like a Sstanic How-To Manual

(It has some nice nice verses but they ignore those other than to quote them when challenged by Christians about all their terrorist murder mayhem)

PS: they should at least read some of those other Koran chapters that they refuse to heed, like where allah instructs them that he’s given the Promised Land to the Jewish People

“An honest man!”

It’s a start. But until there’s millions more like him the Arabs will keep failing.

Israel’s existence did not impede Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and the rest from excelling. However, they did wastefully expend efforts attempting to destroy Israel while not spending enough on just trying to be good countries in their own right. If Israel was a “negative” for them, it was the form of their focus on Israel that was negative, and it meant wasted and negative policies for them.

They focused on the hole, Israel, instead of focusing on the doughnut - their own direct needs for a better country of their own, each of them.

Lebanon was relatively prosperous and Western oriented until the civil war and emergence of Hezbollah.

Lebanese Journalist: 100 Years After Balfour Declaration, Arabs Have Failed, Israel Has Excelled

In the seventy years since its founding, the state of Israel has managed to surpass - in standard of living, in economic output, and just about every other measurable metric - all the surrounding older more established Arab nations. I wonder why that is.....
