Confronting Anti-Israel Attitudes on Facebook

The following is a confrontation via Facebook with a person who did not like my pro-Israel status update which supports Jewish housing in Israel. It is very important to speak plainly and with truth to counter anti-Zionism which is incredibly popular among far leftists who decry expressions of nationalism:
Eyal Feldman Israel should build as many Jewish neighborhoods as they want and can and if the Arabs have a problem with it, there are 22 other Arab countries they can move to that outlaw any Jewish residence.

Eyal, you should take a look at this: "Israel has no intention of lifting the blockade on Gaza, halting settlement expansion, including the 1,600 new homes to be built in East Jerusalem, or reversing its division of the West Bank into impoverished ghettos of Palestinians. The growing brutality and violence of the occupation, no longer easy to deny or hide, coupled with Israel's growing status as an international pariah, have unleashed a crackdown against all those within the Jewish state who are blamed for the bad publicity..."

Thomas, Jews are not to blame for the world's ills, we have been there before, think specifically 15th century Spain, and generally 20th century Europe, its tired and old and we will not let people take away our country. The Palestinians are more interested in destroying the Jewish State than building their own state, we all know it's not settlements, or East Jerusalem, Jerusalem is one united city and settlements are just Jewish areas, we will not let racist segregationists like you promoting an agenda of redividing the city along ethnic lines like Jordan did before 1967. Jews can and should be able to reside anywhere they want in Israel. The fact that you put Palestinian failures on the shoulders of Israel just shows you that you are not interested in Improving the lives of those you purport to support. You are blinded by a left wing ideology that ignores islamic militant violence or simply blame Israel for intolerance that arabs practice daily in every country they control. What more do you want? Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005, and what did we get? We got Hamastan and 8000 rockets on Israeli cities, and you act as if it never happened. if we pull Jews out of their homes terrorists will fill their place, just like Gaza. People like you crave denial of Zionism and delegitimize the existence of Israel and Jewish National Expression. If you would criticize Islamic crazies like you do Israel than Europe may see the end of its Anti-Semtic political stains.

Eyal is right, as usual. The Palestinians want the issue more than they want a solution. I said this before, but there are claims from Mexico about much of the southwestern United States. We took it in war. Plain and simple. Had Mexico and America not gone to war there would still be a Mexican country far reaching to the Canadian border. What would happen if the president of Mexico said "stop building any homes in San Diego?" Would we listen? Of course not. And if a bigger country thumped them on the head like they were a kid it would be even worse.

Israelis have a right to live anywhere in Israel. Period. Name me a border in the world that is NOT the result of conflict or war and I'll give you a candy bar or something simple because it takes a very simple mind to think that Israeli apartments are "settlements' (as if they're putting up tents or living in trees like upset college students) and that the Palestinians have some kind of unique take on because they happen to want an issue.

I love the part about the other Arab countries that they could go to. The problem is not an Israeli one... the problem is an Arab one since no Arab country will take the Palestinians in either. OH and don't forget that these people voted for a terrorist organization to lead their nation in Gaza. The so-called blockade is happening from Egypt (an Arab country) because they distrust the Hamas and Palestinians. The only thing Israel is doing is protecting herself from the Hamas and those who would do harm to her citizens.

Imagine one rocket lobbed at the USA from Mexico or Canada. We'd crush them.
