Candice Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) I think it would be a very interesting test to see how these kooks would react if we all of a sudden agreed to move Israel to, say Germany. Then i think that Muslims would be very pleased. Its obvious how Muslims would react if Israel left the Arab/Muslim dominated Middle East. They shouldn't have taken a Muslim country to begin with, the reparations for the Holocaust should have included a part Germany to begin with. Edited November 25, 2008 by Candice Quote

Oleg Bach Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 That part I could not understand. If they mean Israel - just look at the city of Jerusalem..it has always been Muslim - Christian - Jewish ....Ruled by different factions of religion but it has always been a place where all considered it holy. The holy land belongs to all that are holy - If you are not holy or do not respect holiness - then leave - but the secuarist rule there don't they? Quote

The holy land belongs to all that are holy - If you are not holy or do not respect holiness - then leave - but the secuarist rule there don't they? Jerusalem wasn't always Muslim. The Arabs arrived at the point of a sword in the 630s. It was a human like you or I that declared the place 'holy' (Omar). He then built his mosque on the site of the old Jewish temple (in ruin) claiming that it was the very spot where Mohammed ascended to heaven after riding a 'winged beast' with the 'angel Gabriel' to the 'furthest mosque'. Kind of convenient, don't you think? Mohammed, as history seems to show, never left the Arabian Peninsula in his lifetime. Some records allude that he may have travelled to Gaza/Damascus as a young boy with an uncle. Either way, one must believe in angels and winged beasts to go with the theory that Jerusalem is somehow really sacred to Islam. ----------------------------------- Go ahead. Make my day. ---Inspct.

Oh, I see... so when other people live on land for centuries, they have no sense of connection or entitlement to it, do they... which basically means what? Jews actually didn't have a right to live in eastern Europe after all, then? The hypocracy is astonishing. Could you imagine what kind of world this would be if every ethnic group felt entitled to land that it lost thousands of years ago and maintained a system of "holidays" that reinforced a sense of victimization and special status?

GostHacked Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 So, anyways, what's the problem with 'modern constructs' again? Surely you're too young to remember Israel's 'construct' in 1948 (or are you well over 60?). How modern is that? Newfoundland was 'constructed' later.... Wrong. Newfoundland was established long before modern Israel and has existed for some time as an independant entity before they joined the Canadian Federation. that was in 1949. a year after your Israel was created.

Yes but it wasn't a nation (same as palestine) or even a province (ditto)...merely a colony (which palestine wasn't)..so its status is indeed modern.

I'm not so sure that the Jews were initially "invited". The migrated into Europe from the Mediterranean region long after the European kingdoms were established. Whatever the case, it was Western Europe that eventually became dominant region in Europe, so... if you're implying that this was in part due to the fact that Jews had been persecuted and existed in relatively low numbers compared to Eastern Europe, it is an interesting thesis... Yeah, of course "rollseye" at the notion that the Jews "did kill Christ" but the fact of the matter is that the Jews did engage in vicious persecutions of the early Christians, so it only stands to reason that centuries later when they're a little down on their luck and start to filter into Europe looking like a bunch of homeless paupers that the local Christians, being human, weren't exactly going to welcome them with open arms... I'm sure Jews would be just as "tolerant" if a colony of neo-Nazis established themselves in Israel... Alos, as of yet, I've never heard of the Jews offering a formal apology for the tens, if not hundred, of thousands of Christians that they persecuted.
