Ah, cause of course Jordan was very polite with the PLO in Black September, wasn’t it? (At least 3,400 dead) Ho, and Syria in Hama was also very restrictive of it’s force (7,000 to 25,000 dead). And Iraq, Iran, all those Arab counries that had proven how well the respect lives.
Where is the link to the Blood stained Jordanian flag? Or the Syrian Flag?
I bet if you do the calculation, you’d see there is MUCH more Palestinian blood spilled by Arabs than by Israel ever.
(PS. not that any civilian blood is ok. Any civilians death, regardless of nationality, is a bad thing.)

Will Mr civax I hope we all learned our lessons from the past, we just can’t go back to our black history everytime something happened, we must know that we only have one enemy now days which is ISRAEL, and I believe Israel was behind most of our black history to divid us and to make us what we are now.

Ok, this is the first time I’ve read someone accusing Israel for the different sects and classes in the Arab world…
So, Israel was also behind the split of Sunni ans Shiaa? Of Wahabi, Ismaelites and other sects?
On of the reasons there is much fighting among Arab groups is that there is a strong clash between moderate Islam and extreme Islam. Iran (with it’s proxies Hamas and Hizbollah) and Syria vs Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and other moderate Arab countries. The first group is trying to promote strict interpretation of Islam, calling for a fight over the west, the other countries very fearful that radical Islam will get into their countries and topple the current, more secular regimes.
Israel is a very good excuse to ignore the situation that you really face in your countries and blame everything on an outside enemy. And let me assure you – if it wasn’t Israel, you’d blame it on someone else.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a small conflict that can easily be resolved if both sides will just decide to quit violence and have 2 states and that’s it. As long as Hamas is waving the flag of destroying Israel, Israel has the right to defend itself.
For some reason, there is no fighting in the west bank. Are they not palestinians? The PA is in disagreement with Israel on many issues, and yet the two sides manage to sit and talk about these disagreements. Why? Cause the PA recognize Israel and it pragmatic. Hamas is behaving a little bit more rationally right now too, as they’re willing to accept the Egyptian offer of cease-fire, though I don’t believe they really want to recognize Israel (not that Iran will let them…)
No one had divided the Muslim world from outside, you have done so yourselves. You look around, see how the rest of the world is more modernize, more educated, has more freedom, you live on your past glory and instead of trying to be modern and advance like in Islam golden age, many of they muslims become bitter and retreat into the radical Desert-Culture Islam.
Where are the moderate Muslims of Spain? Where are the welcoming, happy muslims of morocco, which accepted anyone believing in one god as an equal? The Muslim world is little by little turning into radical, taliban like Islam, and that will be it’s ultimate downfall unless awaken.
No wonder so many wants to immigrate to the west, where there is knowledge and freedom of speech and civil rights.
Israel’s misfortune that it stays here and need to boldly face the radical. Israel do not seek war, but if provoked should not be sitting silent anymore.
We’re suppose to be cousin nations, I just can’t understand how one nation could be so advance and plural – and the other (very big) nation sink backwards so radically.
