What do you think of Israel declaring the country as a "Jewish national state"?

And the retraction of Arabic as its second official language?

I'm personally not a fan of any religion getting involved in political matters, so I don't quite agree with that decision.

I'm not sure how many people there speak both Hebrew and Arabic, so I'd say if the majority does, the decision was unjustified, if it not, I kinda have to agree on it.
I also don't understand the outrage of politicians of Arabic descent calling the new law "racist" considering languages aren't directly and necessarily connected to a person's race/ethnicity (e.g. not all Middle Easterners speak Arabic, not all Eastern Asians speak Chinese, etc.).

In not sure any of Israel’s surrounding neighbors are pro Jew... with no outrage...

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout The Muslims hate the Jews. It actually says in the Quoran "never trust a Jew". Israel is surrounded by Muslim states.

@Gumba1000 just by observing Israel's animalistic and evil massacre that fell upon Palestine... looks like a fitting warning

@SW-User The Palestinians are just as bad,they are just as guilty.

SW-User

@Gumba1000 explain to me why they didn't eradicate the "Jews" like bloodthirsty animals centuries ago when the "Jews" seeked refuge there.... and then they're somehow RESPONSIBLE for their own genocide while they are trapped and unable to flee...

I imagine you're wrong.. very wrong

TheOneyouwerewarnedabout · 41-45, MVIP

My point being it’s always one sided with the anti Jews..
No out rage that Palestine isn’t Jew state...
if you demand Israel be secular... shouldn’t you demand the same from everyone?

SW-User

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout let them be secular, Jewish, Muslim, Taoist, Hindu, whatever. I don't care. Slaughtering of fellow humans, I cannot stand to accept and consider to be acceptable

@SW-User We created Israel, the UK and US. It didn't exist before 1945. The Jews were almost eradicated in that area 1000 years ago. The Palistinians had the option to leave, they had the option to have their own state, they rejected it. They continued to fight the Jews until the Jews retaliated, and annexed various areas of Arab countries.

And Palestine’s refusal to sit at a peace table.. they’d rather fight die and complain

SW-User

@Gumba1000 let me ask you:
WHY DO THEY HAVE TO LEAVE THEIR OWN LAND?
What makes Israel have more rights over that land a thousand years ago? 😂

I hope you notice how bad this looks. There IS no defending evil without looking bad. If they wanted to end the jews and massacre them, they would have. Don't play games and read the history deeply. Go to your local university's department of history. They are so open and willing to talk to you. The Israelis were never massacred in Palestine when they were weak. They coexisted until now

SW-User

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout would you sit at a peace table if I took a bazooka, blew up your house, bulldozed and flattened the land, built my own house, shot your family, and THEN asked how you wanted to settle the REMAINING land? Or would you first ask for rights to your house back?

I actually want an answer. Seriously 😂
There IS no good face for Israel here. Not a chance

TheOneyouwerewarnedabout · 41-45, MVIP

Palistine ppl are suffering under current management.. this should have been sorted decades ago..
I never said not once Israel is innocent.. they’re just sick of playing the game..

SW-User

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout how should they handle being "sick of playing the game?"

Gumba1000 · M

@SW-User They should have left because it wasn't their land. It was British land. When the Jewish state was to be created the Palistinians were offered their own state. They rejected it. This mess is due to them not co-operating.

SW-User

@Gumba1000 who gave that land to the British? 🙃
Isn't Britain relatively west to that area?

SW-User

Actually, ignore the last one. Why should they leave just because another country said so?

Gumba1000 · M

@SW-User I never said it was given. In fact I said it was conquered. But once it was conquered, that's the end of home rule, the rule of empire is law after that.

Gumba1000 · M

@SW-User They could have had their own state, they rejected that option.

SW-User

Thanks for the discussion :)
I really appreciate your input and explanation and viewpoint. I really do. I want you to know that

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout "No out rage that Palestine isn’t Jew state." - What does that even mean ? There is no State of Palestine last time I checked.

"if you demand Israel be secular... shouldn’t you demand the same from everyone?" - Who's demanding that ?

TheOneyouwerewarnedabout · 41-45, MVIP

blah blah blah commiepez.. once again you think I care what you say.. well I do.. bout as much as you do about my comments.. 👌

RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout You just spout stupid shite about stuff you know nothing about. You're a fucking embarrassment mate.
