I know Jews who've moved to Canada years ago and are booking flights back to Israel to help out however they can.
Some anonymous guy at JFK paid for the flights of 250 Jews who got called to return to the IDF.
The excuse is that it's their home. They will give their lives to ensure it survives. It's the homeland to every Jewish person on this planet and as you note, there's decades (Millenia in fact) of history written in blood showing just how important that strip of desert is to the survival of the Jewish people.
I don't know what called your friend over there, I assume he's a Jew as well and if so that might actually be all there is to it.
I hope your friend is doing alright. Hope you are too.
There's history showing how much they want that strip of desert but I'm not sure there's any history showing that strip of desert is important to their survival. Unless you have something more to share?
The evidence is quite clearly found in the Jewish population of the surrounding countries....oh wait, they've been ethnically cleansed.
Which is exactly what Hamas is saying they intend on doing.
Considering the history of the region, the numerous recorded events attempting to remove Jews from the region, it's very obvious to all but the most bigoted why that country is critical to their survival.
It's also why they'll demolish the threats to their survival. They've lived thru not having a homeland and they will not let that happen again, regardless of the social media zeitgeist or the cheers of terrorism supporters.
I disagree.
Saying that anyone who doesn't see things the way you do is a bigot, is not the way to convince people you're right. On the contrary, it makes it clear that you've got nothing to offer.
No, the fact you hold two different groups to two clearly different standards in the same situation is what proves you to be the bigot you are.
I've only referred to one group in this thread. I've no idea what makes you think I have different standards for different groups. Perhaps you're confusing me with another poster?
