I feel a lot of sympathy for Christian Palestinians. They also look different from Muslim Palestinians - blonder, more European looking. I think being Christian preserved their bloodlines more, whereas the ones who took Islam mixed with the conquering Arabs.

Btw, if you're Iranian [I heard this accusation by Rachel, don't know it's true], while you guys hate Jews you also hate Arabs. Arabs conquered you too, spread Islam and their script into your country.
I don't hate jews or arabs.

I also don't support the Iranian government, I just support the truth.

Like laughing at you. Every single time you post the Winterfall IDF fund grows richer.
Honestly, people like Winterfall have inspired me to increase my support for Israel, and Jews in general, and I’ve become impressed with one particular group. I’m thinking of setting up a charitable remainder trust with them. G-d’s honest truth.

The more their irrational hatred is exposed, the stronger my support of Israel becomes.

Listening to them is like another version of Bagdad Bob reporting live from Iraq

I don't disagree with your sentiment, I'm for a Jewish State, but objectively, I think you have your facts wrong. Weren't the Palestinians the last ones to Exodus, back in 1948 when they were forcibly removed from "their" land? Notice I put "their" in quotes, because that is the real nature of the dispute, and why it is not easily resolved, because both sides have a legitimate claim as to why they think it is their land.

I do support the Israeli state, but if we were going by "whose turn it is" (which is silly to base global politics on what 'feels fair'), I think you're wrong.

Maybe instead, we should look at Israel's right to exist, the threat to said existence, and the LONG TERM history of how they've been treated.

And again, let's not fool ourselves. The US interest in this is purely US Interest. We would (Sadly) not be supporting Israel if the Middle East were not strategically important to us. It's a dirty fact that nobody likes to acknowledge. (I'm speaking of certain person on this board, but will refrain from naming them.)

You support YOUR truth which is veiled if not blatant anti-Israel and anti-semitism, you aren't fooling anyone.

^^^^^^^.

I feel the same way and that’s been that way for over 30 years now. I’d love to visit Israel someday.

It's a beautiful country. Fantastic food, great culture. I might be taking a trip soon to see family.

While no one was looking, Israel has, over the years, become one of the world's leading tech centers. Even Russian businessmen are investing in that economy.
