How I came to hate Israel

Post Reply New Topic

I don't really think too much about Israel, but for the life of me, I never understood its special and venerated status among American politicians. Is it strategic? Having an ally and a foothold in a hostile oil-rich region? Is it religious (all the bible prophecy stuff)?

Personally, I think that part of the world was better off under Ottoman rule. Israel doesn't produce much and probably wouldn't be able to survive without American support.

31st economy out of 195 countries in the world isn't exactly shabby.

Considering how small the country is that sounds pretty decent,

Actually, most Arabs prefer the US Republic party over Democrats; I am sorry to say it... but most Arabs view US Democrat’s middle eastern policies to be hypocrite and in favor of Iran. They prefer Trump. Arabs are aware that both parties support Israel equally, so no difference regarding that, except that Democrats historically were never in good terms with Arabs and closer to the “Iranian Axis” of the region, we also fear their policy regarding Turkey’s expansionist policy.

This is a small glimpse on how Arabs(those are Lebanese in particular) view the Democrats:




To sum it up, the Arabs who prefer Trump or Republic party:
- The Gulf Arabs
- The secular Egyptians and even in Sudan
- The syrian secular opposition
- The current ruling body in Iraq
- The seculars in the whole Meghreb area (Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria)
- The anti-Hezbollah Lebanese, the anti-Hamas Palestinians.
- Christian Arabs overall weren’t happy for Trump’s loss.

Those who literally *celebrated* for Biden’s victory as if they got saved:
- Muslim Brotherhood everywhere and their affiliated nations, including Turkey and Qatar(Yes, MB rules both those). That also include the MB in Egypt and Meghreb region.
- The Assad regime in Syria.
- Iran’s proxy militias: Hezbollah, Houthis, Hamas and militias in Iraq.
- The communists.


I am only reflecting reality, I know most members here are democrats but don’t shoot the messenger.

There is a large Jewish population in America.
And, yes, it gives America an influence in the middle east.

And America is largely Protestant, the most Jewish-similar Christian school out of all world churches. Catholics and Orthodoxes were never friends of Jews historically. Catholics viewed Jews as "Jesus' killers" while Protestants venerate Jews as the chosen people and heroes of O.T; and venerate the Zionist cause for that very reason. Even to this day, the US and UK are the two friendliest to Jews in general. France, Spain and Italy? not much....

It is ALL about religion originally.

From my viewpoint, I’m glad Trump is gone.

I’m not a Democrat.

I am 100% behind the “two-state” solution. It’s only fair.

I hope Biden feels the same way.

I dislike Iran’s government. The Iranian people are cool.

Yes that does seem to be true ... that Eastern Orthodoxy, and Roman Catholicism are more hostile to Jews than are Protestant sects.

In the US we have mainline Protestant Churches, and Evangelical Protestants.

There are five or six million Jews in America. A big chunk of World Jewry, though a small part of the US population, who are indeed an interest group that supports Israel. But Evangelical Protestants are a bigger group that also supports Israel. Not that Americans in general are hostile to Israel, but Evangelical are at least as fervent and fanatical about it as Jews themselves, if not more so. Thats because...the End Times are coming!

In the Middle East itself Israelies and Arabs seem to be finnally embracing each other! But only because both groups are loosing control of their bowels in fear of Iran.
