      When only one person is speaking, it's not a conversation, it's a monologue. This is one of those subjects that people tread carefully around, lest they get cancelled. By his own admission, Konstantin didn't know much about the topic, so he couldn't disagree even if he wanted to. A more appropriate title would be: "One person's perspective."

      Where wealthy upper class types in Britain who were obsessed with biblical stories tried to link biblical events geographically to Britain and suggest that Britain actually was Israel.

      Well, the notion of an anointed king second only to the Abrahamic god was first a Jewish concept.

There are obviously many many differences between the English model and the ancient Jewish kingdom of antiquity. But I think that’s what she is talking about.

    If I were to follow this logic, then Belgium (I am just taking an example now, being Belgian) urgently needs to adjust its borders. The entire north of present-day France and the south of the Netherlands belonged to the people of the original Belgians in Gaul. Later, from 20 B.C. to the 5th century, Gallia Belgica ("Belgian Gaul") was a province of the Roman Empire in the northeastern part of Roman Gaul, in what today is mostly northern France, Belgium and Luxembourg, along with parts of the Netherlands and Germany.

For centuries the people of the world have recognized this and made the US the #1 destination for immigration.
      There is no singular "the native Americans", they were all fighting each other constantly and committed some of the most abominable and gruesome acts against each other before Europeans arrived. A peaceful utopian coexistence it was not. Which of the other 200+ nations carved out nations inside their own borders for those they displaced? Which other nation had creeks and rivers run red with the blood of white soldiers who sacrificed themselves to end slavery? The UK abolished slavery very shortly before the US, so we weren't the first but they didn't have much to abolish by comparison.
      Everything above is a fact. The world is in decline because the US is in decline and orders of elite hyper-weathy wish for our destruction so they can take all the power, control and resources. "You'll own nothing and be happy" they say and deluded, misguided and ignorant people go along with it.

      @Joeshapiro7 Рік тому

      @rapidloving you could make an argument that when the settlers moved overtime, they became detached from their own culture and founded somewhat of a new hybrid and eventually multi-ethnic culture. In Australia, because they were convicts, it was even easier to become fundamentally different once removed from Britain. In Quebec, the British conquest detached Quebecois from French culture, which led to them having a separate one. So you could argue that many aspects of the settler culture are indigenous to those lands. That would not necessarily lessen Native American claims to self determination or to compensation for atrocities done on the basis of ancestry. It would however provide a framework for all Americans to live peacefully. In fact that is why Native American sovereignty over their reservations exists. With regards to Israel and Palestine, I would say that while it legitimizes the Jewish connection to the land. It also legitimizes the Palestinian one. One could make the argument that Palestinian peoples were nomadic peoples who had no unifying connection until recently. Therefore, you could make the argument that all universal Palestinian culture has been defined by opposition to Zionism and that without Zionism there would be no Palestinians. However, by making the argument that rights can be defined by a culture springing from the land, you can argue that even if Palestinian Nationalism is a result of the romantic period of nationalism of the late 1800's that Palestinians still have the right to an organism to help them continue to develop their culture in the land where it started. Obviously, in a peaceful setting, it would be defined by other things than opposition to Zionism. But the main point here is that recognition of Jewish connections or Jewish rights does not lessen Palestinian connections. Ideally, it would not lessen Palestinians' rights either but provide a way for two indigenous peoples to share the land rather than bicker to the end of days over it. If anything both Jewish culture and Palestinian culture have stronger connections to the lands because they completely originated there as opposed to being a cultural split off of something from elsewhere.

    Melanie Phillips is totally right. There is antisemitism on the left. I decided to get involved in the anti-war (Iraq) cause during the Bush/Blair invasion and was shocked by some of the remarks I came across and the double standards involved in this. She's also right that if you're arguing purely from historicity, the Jewish people have a superior claim. I was surprised by how many people in Ireland, where the vast majority had a religious-based education when I was growing up, couldn't acknowledge this, as it's inherent in Judeo-Christian tradition. That said, I do have massive sympathy for the Palestinians, caught in the middle between Hamas and Israel, just trying to go about their lives. Conditions in Gaza are unacceptable. But it's possible to recognize this without engaging in anti-semitic rhetoric that distorts history.

      Semitic people or Semites is an obsolete term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group associated with people of the Middle East, including Arabs, Jews, Akkadians, and Phoenicians..
      Zionists have utilized propaganda and manipulation to lump all Jewish people together in their zionist group, which any Jews with ethics/morals reject outright. Generally anyone considered "antisemetic" or claims it today, actually means they are against zionism..
      Israeli government puts Jewish people all over the world at risk. If there were a Christian apartheid state that had been settling illegally into a country they were literally controlling the water supply too etc, and having boasted about it basically being a concentration camp, while funding the radical terrorists since 2005... I wonder.. pretty sure if they tried lumping in Christians in with them and their ideology it would not fly, and people would recognize the truth of the situation much clearer.

    A decent overview but just a couple of points. When the Mandate was established under The League of Nations, the British renamed the area Palestine as a homage to the Romans who had changed Judea to 'Syria Palaestina' as a slight to the Jews when Hadrian crushed their uprising, expelling a large part of the population to ensure it could never happen again. Under the Ottomans, the area was known as South Syria and encompassed modern day Israel and Jordan. Arabs were granted tracts of land by the Ottoman Caliphate to create homesteads, after 3 years they had to pay tribute to the Caliph or lose that land which they never actually owned - They were moved in to the area from neighbouring Arab lands in small numbers, the census of 1882 showed just over 220,000 Arabs across the whole of modern day Israel and Jordan. As Melanie rightly points out, far bigger Arab migration to the area came in the 20th Century when the Jews were rebuilding their soon to be independent state which offered job opportunities which were far better than in the other Arab lands. Furthermore, when Israel was recreated, the constitution of the country stated equality for all citizens irrespective of background which continues to this day - 20% of Israeli citizens are of Arab background and serve at all levels of society, from the Health Service to government, judiciary and even the IDF. Those 'Palestinians' (A Term created in the 60's by PLO leader, Yasser Arafat) who scream about oppression have rejected Israeli citizenship and live under their own rule, in Gaza under Hamas and in Judea & Samaria (Known as 'The West Bank' after renaming by The Jordanians during their 1949-67 occupation) under the PA. Both were given autonomy under the terms of The Oslo Accords in the 90's, an agreement that the Arabs reneged on less than 48 hours after they signed it whilst Israel still honours the terms

      That is the big sticking point for the Israelis. They don't want Jews to be a minority in the country, hence the populations of Gaza and the West Bank being perpetually "occupied" rather than incorporated into the Israeli republic.

    What got left out of the conversation is that the Jews *_bought_* land when they returned to the land of Israel. When you buy land, that isn’t “kicking” someone out of their home. The creation of a country, and people’s individual homes, are two different things. Thats why millions of Arabs live in Israel. Their individual homes are Palestinian land in a Jewish country. Just like the home of a Palestinian Brit is Palestinian land in a British country. Many Palestinians however fled Israel to get out of the way of the Arab countries that invaded Israel in 1948. That isn’t Israel kicking anyone out of anything.

According to genetic research most Palestinians are descended from Caananites and other indigenous peoples. "There were Jewish people on the land" does not mean "this land is thus only for Jews." even in the torah and bible, Jews are not native to modern day Israel or Palestine. Moreover, "we wusz here furst" is not a good argument to begin with, because that would mean 99% of modern nation states are invalid or have the right to conquer or take large parts of other nations.

      Following is a brief timeline detailing peace proposals rejected by the Palestinians:
      - 1947 UN Partition Plan: At the time when Great Britain governed the territory now fought over by Israel and Palestinians, the UN General Assembly proposed the establishment of two states, Jewish and Arab. This offer was accepted by the Jews and quickly rejected by the Palestinians.
      - 1993-1994 Oslo Accords - The Oslo Accords represent the start of what was supposed to be a “peace process” for Israel and the Palestinians. Israel agreed to recognize the Palestinian Authority’s right to interim self-governance in Gaza and the West Bank in return for the Palestinians’ recognition of Israel’s sovereignty.
      Soon after the “peace process” was established, Palestinians began attacking Israel with suicide bombers.
      2000 Israel Offers Follow-up Peace Deal - Israel offered the Palestinians another opportunity to end the conflict, but the offer was rejected outright. Instead of proposing an alternate peace deal, former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat initiated terror attacks on Israel that led to the death of 1,184 Israelis, according to reports.
      - 2005 Israelis evacuate Gaza Strip and West Bank -Israel ordered the evacuation of all Israeli settlements within Gaza and the West Bank, essentially giving this land to the Palestinians in an attempt to establish peace. The Palestinians did not accept this gesture of goodwill and instead allowed Hamas to take over the Gaza Strip and continued issuing terror attacks on Israel.
      - 2008 peace proposal - Israel offered the PA another peace deal that was rapidly rejected by the PA’s new president Mahmoud Abbas. Reportedly, the Palestinians were not satisfied with the land boundaries proposed in the deal, as they did not allow the Palestinians control over Jerusalem’s holy sites.
      - 2009 Israel Offers Support for Palestinian State - Israel offered conditional support for a demilitarized Palestinian state, which the Palestinians quickly rejected.
      - 2020 Trump Peace Plan (Deal of the Century) - Palestinians quickly rejected a peace plan formulated by former President Donald Trump and supported by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The plan’s title was “Peace to Prosperity: A Vision to Improve the Lives of the Palestinian and Israeli People,” and focused on economic incentives to quickly and drastically repair the Palestinian economy. The Palestinians refused the deal prior to seeing it.

      That's incredibly stupid. Desire to do something is not the same as one's ability to see it through. Just because the Palestinian Arabs haven't been able to wipe out all of the Jews does not mean they have no desire to do so. They've repeatedly made that sentiment clear, and their recent actions (and plenty others before that) very thoroughly demonstrate their intentions. Israel is certainly far from innocent of wrongdoing, and I don't like many of the ways they've treated their neighbors, but they actually have the power to completely wipe them off the map and have thus far refrained from doing so, and unlike the Palestinian Arabs (or at least Hamas, whose rise I will point out was partially backed and funded by Israel to beat tue PLO whom they considered a greater threat, ironically enough), Israel actually attempts to warn civilians of impending attack to minimize civilian cashalties. Regardless of how you look at this, this is not a bad guys versus good guys scenario. Like most wars, it's bad guys versus worse guys (I'll leave you to decide for yourself who is which) with good and bad reasons for grievance and the countless piles of innocent dead bodies from both sides in the wake of the endless violence and chaos.

      Europeans own land, ring-fence it and say it is theirs, just for them.

Nor do arabs or practitioners of their religion have a universal claim to the area simply because of historical mosques and arab ties to biblical Ishmael. It's a matter of warfare, the Zionist settlers of the 20th century built on the land and fought tooth and nail to expand their territory, with the help of their external connections. If local arabs, syrians, and jordanians have to bomb civilians to seize what they think was their property, or their town years ago, then that's just how it is.

In 1948 the Palestinians f***ed up and started a war they couldn't win, now Israel exists. But Palestine exists too, even if no one can agree on its borders. If we try setting the clock back no one will be happy because whatever magic date you choose that we're supposed to go back to, someone will be the loser and demand s different date. How about we just talk about the rights people have today, on the land they're occupying today, and forget about past grievances?
      And if you'd asked me last Friday, I'd say the Palestinians have a right to a state on the land they've occupied since 1949, and so do the Israelis on the land they occupied before 1967. But Hamas f***ed up on an absolutely epic scale, and now they're paying an epic price. It turns out when you go around raping women to death and beheading infants and then posting videos online to brag about it while the folks back home dance in the streets and celebrate the rapes and decapitations, the relatives of those people get pretty riled up and come looking for payback. So while I still think the Palestinians must someday be granted their human rights, sadly, there's going to be bombing and invasion before that happens, and the Palestinians can only blame themselves and their own actions for that.

      Yes in an effort to rid humanity of practices such as child and human sacrifice; the Jews (according to the Torah in any case) were instructed to eliminate from existance groups engaging in behavior such as cannibalism and human and child sacrifice that are anathema to human survival and flourishing. The idea being these practices present such a danger to humanity that a surviving member of such a community can not be permitted to rediscover the practice and therefore none from such a group can be permitted to live.
      Now, take those stories as historical fact or religious narrative they do present a very interesting moral dilemma; one that only can be ordained by the Devine and can never be instigated by man.

      Yes! I think I remember reading this recently, that, historically, Ottomans controlled the southern third of Ukraine, Poles did another third and the Kingdom of Denmark controlled the northern third. But since Denmark controlled parts of Poland, I'd also say that the Polish part should be given to Denmark, too. And then, since there are a lot of Danish pastries being sold in the United States, I think the US should become a part of Denmark. At least if Denmark rules us, we'll start having better airplane food here in the States :)
      But your points are really spot on. My heritage is both Serbian and Croatian, and I recall all the arguments about Kosovo while growing up in Belgrade, as Serbs considered it their historic land where they battled the Ottomans in 1389, and the Kosovar Albanians considered themselves Illyrian people who predated the Slavs in the region by centuries, so they thought the land was naturally theirs. None of this fighting and arguing really helped anyone in the end, and I think going back to the Israel government's retaliation and bombing raids on Gaza following the Hamas terror attack on Israel's innocent civilians, it's not anti-semitic to call out Israel's militant zionist government (Netanyahu in particular and his trigger-happy generals) on their desire to deliver a collective punishment to entire Gaza population, even though so many citizens of Gaza have nothing to do with Hamas and don't want them. It's wrong to deny an entire population water and electricity. Violence in response to violence is never the answer.

      Had they shared a common identity, they may have, eventually, evolved into a nation, but that hasn't happened yet. (Although the modern state of Israel is on that road)
      The US, as another example, is a country, but not a nation. We are not a unified
      people-group, rather a conglomeration of peoples. Within the US we recognize some degree of "right of return" regarding the nation's that once occupied the land on which this country is made.

There are more than 2 million Palestinians living in Israel with more rights, freedom, including healthcare and education than they have in any Arab country.
