So they moved to a Middle East venue where an awful lot of them want to enthusiastically want to slaughter them. 
Probably best to find an island for them.

Be careful that was Hitlers proposed solution !

Just now, MalcolmB said:

thanks Fred, I just checked my history books.

You went into Vietnam to fight “communism” 

Vietnam is still communist.

 

You went into to Afghanistan to fight Osama Bin Laden, who was a Saudi hiding out in Pakistan. But Saudi was too powerful with their oil and Pakistan has nukes, so Afghanistan it was.

 

You went into Iraq for imagined Weapons of Mass Destruction that you imagined.

 

Now you want to go into Greenland and Panama. 

Don't lump Americans into Trumps ideas. Most of us don't agree with much of what he says, including his supporters. We went into Afghanistan to kill and stop terrorists, which we did many times. We pulled out, Taliban is still there, just like Communism in Vietnam. We tried to help the South Vietnamese but they are doing okay the way they are. Many Americans don't agree with some of what the military does, but they have kept us and other countries free. We consider it our job because America isn't a country of just one race, creed or nationality but a conglomeration of all of them, which is why we help others. Killing terrorists is mandatory in all countries. It has nothing to do with any power you think other countries have. No one can stand up to the US if they started a war against us there.

It is not me Fred.

It was the Germans and now Arabs. 
And quite a few others as well. 
 

 

It wasn't the Germans but certain ones, and many followed an unstable megalomaniac because he promised changes, until they found out later what he really was.

You guys couldn’t even beat small countries like Vietnam or Afghanistan.

You would really struggle to win against a first world country. 

Who, America ?
Those were both wars fought by politicians (they made money) and a ham strung military, in countries nobody cares about.  There was never going to be a win.

Go ahead and directly attack America, please !  Thats the definition of FAFO.  lol


Yes, I understand we ended up in Afghanistan after 9/11, which was a direct attack.  Thats because Shrub the coke head said "They tried to kill my daddy "
Not the same as coming to our shores and taking it to us.  I'd actually go back home for that party

How many American liberals/ lefties have been to palestinian. I met hundreds in Kuwait waiting to be evicted for for taking up arms against their Kuwaiti employers and joining the Iraqi invaders. During that sad war the palestinian lost the respect of every Arab nation. That's why you NEVER see demonstrations on behalf of the palestinians in Arab countries. Nor are they given employment opportunities anymore. They are feared because of their act of betrayal- a consistent pattern in their behaviour.

Protesters on 19 January 2024 reportedly stated, "We don't care about whatever you do to us, we will continue our support and resilience with Palestinians until Israel stops its war on Palestine".[508] On 28 June 2024, protests were held in Sana'a with people carrying banners that said "There is no dignity for nations without victory for Gaza", smaller demonstrations were held in other governorates, including Hodeidah, Hajjah, Saada, Taiz, and Ad Dali.[123] In Sanaa, thousands of protesters waved Palestinian flags, and chanted: "With our souls, with our blood, we sacrifice for you ... oh Palestinians."[124]

On 3 August 2024, thousands participated in a "Day of Rage" by protesting in Sanaa, mourning the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh.[50

Fair enough.  I think a better way of pointing out how Palestinians are viewed in Arab countries (note: Turkey is not an Arab country) is how no one wants to take in Palestinian "refugees", they have been expelled en masse in the past for the violence and instability they bring to the countries that welcomed them, and when these sort of protests go on, they're more anti-Israel than pro-Palestinian.  Because other than on American college campuses, nobody cares about Palestinians otherwise.

 

It would be wonderful if all of these same people put their efforts into encouraging regular Palestinians to stop supporting, and to stand up to, Hamas.  But we know what happens when they do.

Much like the Jews were expelled in Europe.

It isn’t any wonder they can not get along with each other, they don’t seem to get along with anyone.

Blocking aid is an Israeli tactic for Hamas to release hostages. It's collective punishment for Palestinians, therefore War Crime.

 

Israel blocks entry of all humanitarian aid into Gaza

A really crucial difference being that Jews were expelled for being Jews, while Palestinians were expelled for literally trying to overthrow the governments that welcomed them and for using those host countries as bases for worldwide terrorism.  Really, the two circumstances aren't comparable at all.

What was it about them being Jews that caused them to be expelled?

What was the reason?

Well, it wasn't for the same reasons as the Palestinians, which was murder, terror, and sedition.

 

And while i don't think you're coming at this honestly looking for knowledge, I'm also willing to take the bait and give you an honest reply -- in my opinion it was 1) bad theology "the Jews killed Jesus";  2) some of it was the fact they were forbidden from most forms of work and economic activity -- so some of them lent money -- strange how convenient it is that you don't have to pay back a loan to someone you just killed or drove from your country; 3) envy of their success; 4) conspiracy theories, such as the blood libel and the Elders of the Protocols of Zion nonsense; 5) separateness often breeds resentment and hatred, though Jews are still targeted when they totally assimilate into Gentile society.

Disagree, it's crystal clear, to quote:

 

Israel has blocked the entry of all humanitarian aid into Gaza as it demands Hamas agree to a US plan for a ceasefire extension.

 

Collective punishment, especially blocking food and medical supplies is a War Crime., though as we know Israel is protected in the Security Council by the US.

 

No further reply on this matter. Agree to disagree.

You're REALLY unaware of why Israelis are fighting?  Because so many of your beloved Palestinians are bloodthirsty terrorists.  Here's a cookie -- run along now with your "lebensraum" claims and be clever somewhere else.

Who appointed you as the Grand Poo Bah to decide who posts what on any forum?

 

Obviously you seem to have no idea of the Israeli ideas for Gaza so here are some links to point you in a sensible direction. They are all freely available on the open internet, IF you choose to look. So run along now and read them though you may have problems as some of them are big words.

 

Have you ever heard of Daniella Weiss?

 

Try looking at and reading this item. It should be safe for you to read as it is an article from The Jewish Chronicle.

or 1 from the BBC News website

A snip from this post.  

There are about 700,000 Jewish settlers in these areas now and settler numbers are rising fast.

The vast majority of the international community considers settlements illegal under international law, including the United Nations Security Council. Israel disputes this.

 

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/06/hamas-israel-hunger-war-in-gaza

 

A snip from the link.

 

An Israeli government minister has vowed that “Gaza will be entirely destroyed” as a result of an Israeli military victory, and that its Palestinian population will “leave in great numbers to third countries”, raising fears of ethnic cleansing in the occupied territory.

The declaration on Tuesday by the finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, came a day after Israel’s security cabinet approved a plan for Operation Gideon’s Chariots, which an Israeli official said would entail “the conquest of the Gaza Strip and the holding of the territories”.

Sorry, I have no desire to help terrorist organizations.

 

One will find plenty of sympathy on liberal universities (indoctrination centers).

 

Not sure if they’ll give up their 💰 cash.  But flag burning, blood curdling screams and violence are all on the menu.

Statistically the British descendants do the most crime down under.

 

We are not taking them back. It is why we sent you all there in the first place.
