Israel sits on stolen land. They received a compassionate gift from the world, a piece of the Promised Land in 1948. In 1967, they more than doubled their territory in the six day war. And that's why the Palestinians are mad. For the most part they aren't living in Israel. They are living in occupied land, land that was stolen from their people in 1967.
Stolen? Who started the 6 day war? The Arabs lose land in a war and they cry about it and want it back. Nasser challenged Israel to fight almost daily. "Our basic objective will be the destruction of Israel. The Arab people want to fight, We will not accept any...coexistence with Israel...Today the issue is not the establishment of peace between the Arab states and Israel. The war with Israel is in effect since 1948. The armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon are poised on the borders of Israel...to face the challenge, while standing behind us are the armies of Iraq, Algeria, Kuwait, Sudan and the whole Arab nation. This act will astound the world. Today they will know that the Arabs are arranged for battle, the critical hour has arrived. We have reached the stage of serious action and not declarations." President Abdur Rahman Aref of Iraq joined in the war of words: "The existence of Israel is an error which must be rectified. This is our opportunity to wipe out the ignominy which has been with us since 1948. Our goal is clear- to wipe Israel off the map". The Arab rhetoric was matched by the mobilization of Arab forces. Approximately 465,000 troops, more than 2,800 tanks, and 800 aircraft ringed Israel. In the end the Arabs were allowed to return to Gaza. later all Jews were expelled from Gaza and the PLO had complete control. Gaza was a paradise and under PLO Arab rule, and later Hamas, it became a sewer. BTW, this is NOT about land. It is about hatred of Jews pure and simple. Land is the excuse...

And thankfully, Israel is the only country that was built on stolen land. Could you imagine how awkward it would be if someone criticized Israel for being taken from others it their own country was taken from others?

Thank God for blue beads!

Exactly what it says. I've read about the conflict and its origins, and discussed the matter with both Jews and Muslims. I have lived and worked in Muslim countries, was in one on a training gig with my wife, who is openly Jewish last December, where we discussed the matter also. I am no expert on the situation, but I am certain that the Palestian/Israeli dispute, however vicious either side have been, is not a religious war, nor did it arise out of a religious dispute.

Yet oddly I noted no response to a reasoned argument about using secular legal processes to prevail and look to END the conflict instead of globalizing it in order to rehash in blood a past not one of us was even alive to witness.

We can't get to today until we let go of the past, to include letting go of the people hanging onto it with a death grip. . We can't change the past - all we can do is use secular processes to negotiate a peaceful future.

Forward is the only direction we can face. Literally. It's the direction of linear time, flow with it, not against it.

What's happening now is just poison.

Once again we see a call for "understanding" of a clear terrorist attack against innocent jews. This man was here ILLEGALLY and Biden let him stay. He should have been gone a long time ago. And this evil ant-semetic animal burns people and there are those on the left who immediately get into "we must understand" mode regarding the anti-semites in the middle east and blame Israel for all the problems.

Irs a sick and twisted position to call for understanding for terrorists.

I agree with a secular approach, although I doubt that the Trump administration would be capable of it. The position of the administration--that all Muslims want to kill all Jews everywhere is hardly conducive to secular foreign policy.

And that's why the Palestinians are mad. For the most part they aren't living in Israel. They are living in occupied land, land that was stolen from their people in 1967.

The problem with the stolen land conversation is that just about everyone on the planet is on land that was taken from someone else at some point...

I outlined in another thread where Israelites inhabited the land back in 1200 BCE. (basically from the bronze age to the iron age)

Then there were various conquests involving the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans (and a few others I'm probably missing)... then the Ottomans obviously came in and ran the territory for 300+ years up until the 1900's.


The problem with the "stolen land" lens is that people are often inclined look only at the most recent iteration of conquest that's sympathetic to whoever they think should have the land to serve a current narrative.

We see it with our own domestic conversations about indigenous tribes. Dozens of iterations of conquest and land seizing takes place, yet it's only the iteration involving European settlers that gets labelled as "the grave infraction that needs to be corrected for".


Even the Ottoman control of the land was the result of conquest.

But if people followed the "who actually had it first" to its full extent, it'd be the Canaanites & Israelites. (their descendants being modern day Jews, Lebanese, Syrians, and Jordanians)

This happened well into the Trump admin.
This happened because BIDEN actually gave him permission to stay until March 2025. You are talking about two months when he was illegal again. Two months in the Trump administration who is at least trying to get rid of these illegals and who is bring fought every step of the way by the left. Who are the ones that keep saying its not possible to get rid of them all? And you expect or even consider rhe possibility that Trump in two months will find ONE specific guy and deport him. How many others are illegal right now?

You guys need to get a grip on reality. You want to fight the deportations of illegals every day and then want to criticize Trump for not deporting one man among MILLIONS who have been let in by Biden and his team AND who was illegal then was allowed to stay legally by BIDEN until March.

What a ridiculous position.

Well a great many of them do, millions in fact across the world. I wonder how you'd react if that many white people across the world were actively wanting to kill black people around the world.

That, of course, is not true at all. When a small number of Muslim countries would not meet the background checks on individuals coming to the United States Trump suspended visas to the those specific countries. Out came the "phobic" cries, part of the Democrat strategy, focusing away from the jihadists, who make up a minority but are a REAL threat. The Democrats "in the know" assured the people that "white supremacy" was the biggest threat to our nation. Very much ignored by the mainstream press is the logical concern brought up by Tom Homan about those, numbered around 1.7 million, who would not take the freebies in food and shelter and healthcare and phones offered by the Biden administration but in many cases paid extra money so their identities would not be revealed. Combine those with poorly vetted individuals let in by the Biden administration, such as the Egyptian terrorist, and realize there are many more horrors to come.

No they dont. There is no such thing as stolen land. There is conquered land. The land originally belonged to the Israelites. They were conquered by others who then owned the land. Thought history this land has been conquered by many different groups including the Isrealites. The entire world lives on conquered land. So what.

The Palestinians had no more right to the land than anyone else. In fact the Israelis had more claim.

But even if they didn't they won rhe land by conquest and hold it by defense. What country in existence wouldn't. The Palestinians had their chances at having their own country, but couldn't get over their hatred of the Jews enough to build their own country.

Did the Biden admin fail to pass along the intel that this guy was a terrorist? Now that would be bad.

Mohamed had been planning this attack for the last year and was waiting for his oldest daughter to graduate from high school before completing the attack. She graduated last Thursday.

Mohamed expressed his hatred for the Zionist Organization as they support and fund the bombings that are taking place in Palestine. He said he searched for Zionist groups and found the one in Boulder which advertised their weekly marches down Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado every week on Sundays.

Mohamed searched YouTube and learned how to make Molotov cocktails. Mohamed said he had to use Molotov cocktails after he was denied the purchase of a gun due to him not being a legal citizen. Mohamed said he took a concealed carry class where he learned to shoot a gun but that all changed after he was denied the purchase.

Mohamed said he wanted them to all die and that was the plan, he said he would go back and do it again and had no regret doing what he did. Mohamed said anyone who supports the exist of Israel on "our land" is Zionist. Mohamed clarified "our Land" was Palestine.

Mohamed said it was revenge as the Zionist group did not care about thousands of hostages from Palestine. He said they care about their benefit, money, and power. Mohamed said this had nothing to do with the Jewish community and was specific in the Zionist group supporting the killings of people on his land (Palestine).

Israel in a surprise attack.

A 'war of words' is not a war.
It was not just a "war of words"...they were amassing troops and hardware at all the borders...so the Arabs escalated it and Israel finished it...
