![]() Iconoclast Posts: 5,077 | MLK & Israel's Wrong January 14 was Martin Luther King Day, and government offices were closed to honor this day. This man like Mahatma Gandhi of India is a great man. What makes these men great? The stood for principles of human dignity and put their own lives on the line. They were strong peace, heard around the world and yet non violent. Okay--- Martin Luther King said "Whenever you segregate a minority you invediously discriminate against them." The Zionist movement did not segregate the mayority of Palestinians, but rather these Jews segregated themselves. Calling Israel a democracy is a pervertion of the meaning of that word, because by all intent Israel is for Jews. Regardless of how tolerant Israel is of minorities, these minorites must remain minorities and basically powerless, because Israel is for Jews. Every decision Israel makes is about keeping power in the segregated Jews hands. Further more, because the Zionist had to take this land with violence it is doomed to be a war state, used by both Britian and the US to again control of this region. Israel has no choice but to do the bidding of the more powerful nations that have given it power, money, military weapons. Congress may be saying no to the US invading Iran, but the US is supplying Israel with the planes and weapons to attack Iran. Back to Martin Luther King, he spoke out against the war in Vietnam when he could not control the violence of state police attacking his peaceful marchers, and later the violence of angry Black people. He made the connection between people believing they are superior and therefore have special rights to exploit others, and being intolerant of these others, and the war behavior of the US. Israel came to be out of segragation and violence, and is used by those who think think themselves superior and would rule by violence. Now shall ask the nature of the God who rules over all this? Is this a jealous, fearsome war God, or a God of love and forgiveness? For centuries Jews endured without making war, but I think with Israel, they became the tool of Satan, regardless how much they want to people of God. |

| ~Ruthless Debater~ Location: Cape Town, South Africa. Posts: 433 | I think the issue of Jews being oppressive towards the minority is more political than religious. Although, the type of injustice they inflict on Palestinians can not be justified, I think it is right to say that they are frightened and would do just about anything to ensure "Israel's survival". They have been enslaved by Egyptians, Romans and then we all know about the Holocaust. I think it is simply a case of taking the anger out of the unarmed Palestinians. Many orthodox Jews have never visited Israel and they think it is not the right time to go there... As far as I know, according to Jewish doctrines, their Messiah will arrive on Earth and take them to Jerusalem (kinda like Moses). Therefore, many orthodox Jews hold the view that since they went to Jerusalem themselves - insteading of waiting for the Messiah to take them - it was a mistake. It is pretty clear that Israel's attitude is merely political and it has nothing to do with the God mentioned in the Old Testament. It's not about Judaism but Zionist political agendas... |

First off Israel is the most culturally diverse country in the Middle East, which shoots down your argument. Second, maybe the Palestinian terrorist should learn something from MLK. But they rather take lessons from the KKK on bombing and blind racially motivated violent acts. | |

![]() Aristotle Location: Chicago, IL Posts: 4,056 | So out of all the giant sized Countries in the Middle East, North Africa and Muslim Dominated Asia Countries. The best example is a country of 1.3 mil people (which Israel has nearly as many Arabs as that) in a country that is 5x smaller than even Israel. LOL This country relies on nearly 100,000 Western foreigners, they call expatriates, since the government does not offer any form of naturalization or permanent residence to expatriates. So out of the population is made of 7% Western. That kills Israel's right? LOL |

I have seen many demonstrations of the prejudice problem in Israel, resulting from ethenic separation. The Isrealis are doing racial profiling, and where I live, we have laws against that. There is a discrimination problem in Israel not unlike White discrimination against Blacks. It is as MLK said. Your justication of it doesn't resolve the problem does it? You may think Isrealis are powerless to resolve the problem, but by justifying it (atitude), you become part of the problem. I do not believe if you replace attitude (ego/worldly) with altidude (God), you can be part of the solution. It is not easy to end racism, but at least an effort should be made, because it is the will of God that matters, not a group of people. Number one, all children should have equal opportunity to the same education, not separate schools where each is taught a different history, perpetuating a conflict. You all need to sit together and come to an agreement about the best way to tell history, and then all children need to learn same history of Israel. End the ethical separate of different tellings of history. I am often shocked by the Israelis understanding of the history of Israel. It is devoid of unpleasant truths, and this is a major part of the problem. I have seen the discrimination of which MLK speaks, repeatedly on television. Just the other night I watched a program about a Muslim Arab girl who was a Karate champion. She cared nothing about the Arab/Isreal conflict. As a teenager she didn't care at all about politics. She only cared about herself and winning. Yet she was harrassed at a competition and so upset by it, she lost. I could see she was going to loose by her reaction to the harrassment, and it hurt to see her loose because of conflict complete beyond her control, of which she wanted no part. Where I live we no longer tolerate this behavior. People still do it, but we have laws to prevent the racial harrassment, rather than justifying it as Israelis are doing, and prejudice Whites have done. It is our participation in reality that is the reality we manifest. Check what you are manifesting. Again and again, we see examples of Isreal hatred of Muslim Arabs, and clearly the separation that makes the hatred so terrible. Just as MLK said, separation results in the problem, and it does exist. It is very much a part of the separate education of different children, racial profiling and land laws and policy in Israel. If you like, I will post links to clarify this truth. When studying public policy, my professor explained only Jews are in the legitimate power circle. Palestinians do not have anything near an equal vioce in the power circles. Isreal would not be the Zionist dream if all had an equal say in the legitimate power circle. Be honest please. You are either decieving yourself or you are not well informed. Either way, until you are better informed and replace attitude (Jewish worldly ego for which God has punished the Jews many times), with altitude (God) you can not be part of the solution. There are things you can do to be part of the solution. Would you like to know what they are? | |

I see personal attacks here. This time Genius, I will fault you on incorrectly explaining the low birth of Jews. Then I will point out the difference in birth rate would not be a problem, except that Irael wants to claim to be a democracy, and therefore, Jews must outnumber Palestinians, because they must maintian the majority. This has everything to with controlling land use and decisions that keep Palestinians refugees. That is, the defense of Israel Jews, is part of the an explanation of the problem. Why do we choose to have small families or do not choose to do so, is a matter of values. What are the values of those who choose small families, verses having large families? Would one set of values tend to lead to alcoholism and divorce more than the other set of values? Is one side meeting emotional human needs better than the other? How about ego needs verses social needs? Is this conflict in values resolvable? What happens when such conflicts in values are not resolved? This us verses them thinking is part of the problem. Can these two sides use a shared understanding of God to get beyond this? What is the highest principle? | |

Israel is the Ashkenazi fraud perpetrated on the whole world that has produced so much evil in the Middle East with European Ashkenazis successfully lobbying Western powers and their control of the U.N. to create a new European colony of primarily European Jewish converts in Israel through the removal of Semitic Palestinians from their own homeland. I agree with the Neterei Karta Jews that modern Israel is an abomination to God. | |

Actually I stated this as a point that Israel is diverse. Not only are there people from all over the world as Israeli citizens, but there are 1.3 million Israeli non-Palestinian Arabs I gues you forgot to read this line - "not including any Jewish, Muslim, Christian, or other citizen living under the Israeli-occupied lands administrated by the Palestinian Authority." That number doesn't include Palestinians. Imagine where it would be if it did. | |||

| ~Ruthless Debater~ Location: Cape Town, South Africa. Posts: 433 | One of the main reasons behind Israeli-Palestinian conflict is 'misunderstanding of religious history'. The Jews think they own the region because: 1. Abraham (ancestor of Christians, Jews and Muslims) lived in that region. 2. God promised them that land. 3. Moses took them to the region. Now I will explain why these three points should not apply… 1. Abraham was the ancestor of Jews (who are Isaac’s offspring) but he himself was not a Jew (many uneducated people claim such). He was a Hebrew, means someone who came from the other side of the Euphrates. It has been mentioned in the Old Testament that Abraham was a stranger in Israel and he came from a place called ‘Ur of Caldes’ (near Mesopotamia), modern day Iraq. Therefore, he was more of an Arab than Jew. 2. The Jews are offspring of Isaac and Muslims are offspring of Ismail. Thus, both have equal rights to live in Palestine. However, that does not happen in racist Israel. 3. Moses was not a Jew either. The name ‘Jew’ comes from Judah. Moses was a descendant of Levite, not Judah. Let’s discuss recent events. After the Holocaust, Jews were given Palestine and Palestinians became refugees. One should think twice before calling the Palestinians “terrorists”; although radicals do outrageous things, some of them are fighting for liberation from colonist Israel. Athena, I understand what you mean by their ‘ego’. I think the idea of being “God’s chosen people” would make most people egotistic. However, that type of mentality is not sensible. Just as you can always claim to be chosen, I can disagree. Politically there is no solution in this conflict. It is widely known how Israel mistreats it’s Arab minority. There are thousands of examples of such racist, discriminatory acts carried out by Israeli Army. Palestinians can’t decide on any random ridiculous solution since it would always be a lose-lose situation for them. They are the ones living as refugees in their motherland. |

Anyway there were several Jewish states in Israel along the history. Since the destruction of the last Jewish state. There were no other independent entities in this area until again the creation of Jewish state. Quote:
