Palestinians and their allies have justified and even celebrated Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre in Israel as a blow against Jewish oppression. But the 2 million Arab citizens of Israel have overwhelmingly responded by drawing closer to the Jewish state.
Among Arab Israelis, prominent media personalities have helped lead an unprecedented surge in support for their country and opposition to their self-proclaimed liberator Hamas. Pro-Israel arguments that were previously almost unspeakable in the Arab mainstream have in recent weeks gotten a respectful hearing. Yoseph Haddad, a 38-year-old Christian Arab influencer, has skyrocketed to fame in Israel with his outspoken advocacy for the country in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. Haddad told CNN on Oct. 22 that Hamas’s attack was a wakeup call for the Arabs who constitute about 20 percent of Israel’s population.

I would like to see more explanations of how Tlaib gets away with her interpretation of the river quote as being ambiguous. Maybe she means it in a nice way. /S
All the Jews of Israel live between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
Revised Wikipedia:
The slogan has been used by militant groups –including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad– that have vowed to destroy Israel.
It is regarded by many to be antisemitic or hate speech, suggesting that it denies the right of Jews for self-determination, or advocates for their removal or extermination.
It has also come under scrutiny in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, the US and the United Kingdom, where it has been proposed to classify its usage as a criminal offense.
The problem is, they may be rational, but their kids can be radicalized. That is not a chance we can take, history will simply repeat itself.
So those smart Arabs living in Israel (20% of the population) don’t want to go live in a primitive, pre-modern hellhole governed by Islamic radical savages and horrible brutes who cannot build a decent civilization?
Shocking!
The Palis are the occupiers
Israel gave them the land to live on
Yes! Where is the Captain Renault gif?!
They got the west bank of the river, and Gaza by the sea. What are they complaining about?
True. And they can freely open businesses and make a home in 26 Muslim countries. And they can be one of the over 100 Muslim members of the ruling Israeli Knesset since 1948.
How about a Jew going to Iran, Syria or another Muslim country and setting up a Jewish deli, a family restaurant or a bookstore? Won’t happen.
Maybe she suffers from incontinence:
From the river to the sea, not a toilet for to pee.
There was a video two years ago of an aged woman out shopping. She did something that made the morality police angry. He pulled his gun out and shot her dead. No one seemed surprised. Those morality police homes need visiting late at night.
In just the past couple weeks, the female morality police in Iran pulled a 16 year old girl off a bus for not wearing a hijab and beat her to death.
Often, Muslim immigrants in the West are hard-working and they tend to follow the law. But their kids are radicalized. You see this in a lot of places like in Paris.
Israel is the best country for an Arab to live in, and it’s not even close.
Yep. As long as the ideology exists, we Will have problems with that extremism.
Which is why we shouldn't import any Muslims even though that guy, Mohammad makes great gyros at his Greek restaurant. It turns out that his son, Johnny Jihad is a suicide bomber. Even though he had a relatively comfortable life growing up in the West.
The smart Arabs stayed, became Israeli Citizens and prospered.
The stupid, greedy ones left.
It was a win for Israel. When the the dust settled the Arabs who left said "Just kidding! Now we are going to come back in and reclaim all the stuff we abandon." The Israelis said, "Do we look stupid to you? You left and now you can stay gone."
I think the main issue is that the west has become so degenerate and weak and created a society that doesnt seem worth defending. On the left, western civilisation is considered irredeemable evil and on the right the prevailing culture seems to be about embracing identity politics, especially reality defying trans bs and fostering racial resentments.
Because of this many people want to seek alternatives. Do you think the average young muslim is going to look at western society and think its offering something better than an Islamic theocratic worldview which, while violent and evil, does at least offer a clear moral code and a willingness to uphold it.
I was speaking to an elderly muslim bloke once and he was telling me that he thought that muslims needed to be taught separately to non muslim kids and I was outraged and was ready to argue with him, but then he said something alongbyhe lines of
“when I arrived in Britain in the 1950s, our values were not that much different to the rest of society. We all believed in the sanctity of marriage, not sleeping around and binge drinking and we respected the Queen as the symbol of our shared identity. All of this has been replaced by drunkenness, drugs, promiscuity and rejecting morality. Why would we want to children to be part of this?”
I have to admit, he had a point. If it wasnt for the left utterly trashing traditional western values, they wouldn’t be seeing it as necessary to segregate from the rest of society and view their fellow citizens beyond their own communities with contempt. As is usual, the progressive left is the root of all social problems.
I think it's deeper than that. At least in Europe, they were destroyed by World Wars.
But what about America? We came out of the world as a superpower. No one could beat us. Yet we are committing suicide.
True. But not all Muslim kids go to college. Some of them are blue collar. They end up getting radicalized at their local mosque.
