The restitution, actually, should come from Germany and Poland, and whoever else was allies with Hitler. They ought to be given land in Germany, to be set aside as the Jewish nation.
The jewish attachment to israel is thousands of years old, and is ingrained into the core of their prayers and religion.
But since that's not happening, maybe they should be given land in America.
To secular jews, this is a reasonable argument, especially if iran or one of its terrorist proxies with which it performs its state sponsored terrorism, hits it with an a-bomb. To the religious jews, the attachment to the sacred land of Abraham etc is inviolable.
Anything, to stop this endless bloodshed they can't help dragging the entire civilized world into.They're not going to be allowed to live in peace, where they are. EVER.
There are 4 million jews - and FIVE HUNDRED MILLION arabs...please tell who is the underdog again? And the facts, from my other post:
Israel cannot relinquish this buffer zone without her security aims addressed. She vacated lebanon and gaza - and the vacuum was filled by terrorist organizations. Unless the pro-arab side is willing to address removal of the terrorist leadership, israel cannot be expected to continue vacate areas. She did it twice, and proved that land is far from the issue.
Your opinion is representative of those who came to this conflict without the full facts or history - israel's presence in these territories did not, does not, and never will, fuel the conflict. Israel's EXISTENCE is what fuels it, due to the arab muslim intransigence and intolerance of non-muslim minority groups in the middle east.
Coptics, Maronites, Chaldeans, Orthodox christians, Assyrians, Bahai, Zoroastrians, jews, etc., are all being oppressed and ethnically cleansed out of the arab muslim middle east. But the media will rarely expose this lest they upset their leftist allies in the arab muslim world.
The jews get the most attention, however, since they are the only ones actually fighting back.
This is their fault, and their neighbors' fault, both. Nobody's blameless.
Israel has made some errors for sure, but 99% of the blame is on the arab muslims, its not even close.
How many millions of people are going to have to die, though, before they just move somewhere else?
"Millions"? Not sure where you get your "facts" from...
They can have Israel somewhere else. The spirit of a nation resides in the hearts and minds of its people, not in the dirt it sits on.
They could perfectly easily transport the whole shebang to Florida, or Minnesota, or whatever region of the United States best suits their tastes.
You could put israel on Mars and it would not make the slightest difference, the intolerance of the arab muslims is the issue...
If you believe that the terrorism emanating from arab muslim nations targeting non-muslims and themselves as well - see Baghdad this week, another 30 killed in synchronized bombings of their central bank - I've got a big bridge to sell you.
Look at a map of the globe - at EVERY point where the muslim world touches the non-muslim,there is war/conflict: Serbia/Albania, India/Pakistan, Russia/Chechnya, Sudan (christian north vs. muslim south), China (Uighur), israel/arabs, Phillippines (muslim insurgency in south, trying to ethnically cleanse mindanao of christians), Indonesia (ethnically cleansing christians out of the nation) - and these are just a few that come to memory, there are many more.
Israel just gets more attention BECAUSE IT INVOLVES JEWS, the favorite target of muslims and christians alike. The media keeps the focus on israel because of that, its the one conflict where the 2 large worldwide religions are not directly opposing each other, so they can both feel superior and point a finger. The reality is far broader.
