Neo-Nazi group arrested targeting Jews

Are you serious? For a mere 17%? 😵

And don't even get me started on basic etiquette—you're supposed to actually provide a link and cite your sources when making a claim like that...

Calling it a "normal" state when 17% of the Israeli population holds passports, IDs, and full citizenship... interesting.

That 17% represents the remnants of the Arab population who were essentially forced out in 1948—people whom Israeli law also prevents from ever returning to their homes.

I suppose you aren't aware of that bit—you probably just subscribe to the narrative that Arabs are terrorists and Jews are democrats.

You didn't actually answer my question, nor did you bother providing the link.

It seems you lack even the basic capacity to interpret your own quotes, which, ironically, should be supporting your very argument. What you’re claiming simply isn't what is written in that quote.

Furthermore, I find your logic flawed: if a group has been entirely driven out, how exactly are they supposed to have descendants left behind? 😵
But please, don't waste your breath trying to explain yourself... just give me the link to that article.

You can't even interpret your own quotes—which, ironically, actually support my point. What you're claiming just isn't what that quote says.

I just don't get it—if someone is completely driven out, how are they supposed to have descendants? 😵
Look, don't bother trying to explain it—just send over the link to that article.

It’s become painfully obvious to me that you don't have the slightest clue about the actual roots of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

I didn't say "descendants"—I said the "remnants of the remnants" of the population left behind after the mass displacement of 1948.

The 1947 United Nations Plan.

It’s 1947. The British government announces they're stepping away from their mandate—effectively handing the Palestine situation over to the United Nations. Following that move, a special commission passes Resolution 181 on November 29, 1947, which outlines the following partition Plan:

The British Mandate for Palestine would be split into two distinct states—one Arab and one Jewish—linked by an economic union, while keeping the Jerusalem area under international oversight.
The Jewish state would encompass 55% of the territory—including the Negev desert—with a population of 498,000 Jews and supposedly only 497,000 non-Jews. Some demographic data actually shows an even more skewed ratio regarding both the Jewish population and the United Nations' figures, since they claim Arabs should make up 51% of Israel's population.
An Arab state would encompass 45% of the territory—which includes 807,000 non-Jews and 10,000 Jews.
The Jerusalem area would consist of 105,000 non-Jews and 100,000 Jews.
While the Jews in Palestine accepted the Plan, the Palestinian Arabs rejected it outright—they were convinced the entire territory belonged to them. To understand why they felt that way, you have to look at the 1945 census data. The Jews only made up the majority within the city limits of Jaffa; in all the other 15 territories, the Arabs held the majority population.

The founding of Israel—it’s a complex, heavy chapter of History that demands a measured look. When you dive into the origins of the state, you realize how much weight those early decisions carried. It wasn't just about drawing lines on a map; it was about shifting the entire landscape of the Middle East forever. Looking back at how everything coalesced, you can see the tension that was baked into the foundation from day one. It’s a lot to process—truly—but essential if you want to understand the current friction in the region.

On May 14, 1948, the British mandate officially wrapped up—and that very same day, the state of Israel was proclaimed. The Arab nations didn't waste any time, though; they were ready to move the next day. I’m speaking up to stand with my Arab brothers—people who have been subjected to brutal ethnic cleansing by Jews since this whole thing kicked off back in 1947. Israel launched an attack.

I can't seem to find that link anywhere—it’s completely vanished from my History. It was likely from one of those local Mexican news sites.

Even a bird on a branch could see this coming—it’s obvious—but apparently, citizens in democratic nations across the globe are completely in the dark.

Here you go—take a look.
The establishment of Israel—it’s a complex, layered process that really demands a deep dive into the geopolitical shifts following World War II. Looking at how the state actually came together, you see this intense intersection of international diplomacy and local struggle. It wasn't just one single event, but rather a series of maneuvers involving the newly formed United Nations and the shifting mandates in the Middle East. When you trace the timeline, the role of the UN was pivotal, especially regarding the partition discussions that set the stage for everything that followed. It’s a lot to digest—definitely not something you can summarize in a single afternoon—but understanding those foundational years is essential if you want to make sense of the modern Arab-Israeli conflict.

Links...
Chloe Garcia98, you seem to know everything there is to know about the negatives in Islamic nations, but when it comes to Israel, your information seems pretty thin. I can't tell if you're being intentionally malicious or if it just looks that way to me. It isn't like Arabs can just go out and buy land in territories where they've lived for centuries, and besides, in that entity you love so much, people can't even get married unless they share the same faith.
Anyway, if you want to see what Gary Wilson has turned into, you can probably find it in the Haaretz archives.

Gary Wilson said:And I must say it again. George Galloway 👍

When you consider that it's actually illegal for non-Jewish citizens to purchase land in Israel, you get a very clear picture of this country—which, mind you, claims to be a "normal" state. Whatever that's supposed to mean.

George Galloway hit the nail on the head at the end: "there is no peace without justice." But apparently, justice isn't exactly on the priority list for Israelis. They treat Palestinians like third-class citizens! 😠 Even the immigrants in Israel are treated a million times better than the native Palestinians.
