The old adage holds true. The world loves Jews when we’re victims. They despise Jews with guns in their hands.

Especially as those guns are preventing our “next” genocide at the hands of our enemies. How dare we not walk submissively into the ovens?

They despise Jews no matter WHAT. Rich, poor, no homeland, has a homeland, assimilates, doesn't assimilate--none of it matters. They will find a reason to hate Israel/Jews.

Not true. The world has for long celebrated the existence and survival of the jews and the jewish state for a long time.

Now, the world despises anyone who builds an apartheid state, killing innocent children all along.

With two million Israeli Arabs, both Muslims and Christian, Israel is NOT an apartheid state. The West Bank remains disputed territory, and Gaza is run by Hamas. You can’t change the definition of apartheid to suit your view .. apartheid means segregation .. Israeli Arabs participate at every level of Israeli society ..

So your comment holds no water and is totally invalid. You can have an opinion, but the facts are not yours and prove you wrong.

Then, why don't they despise Iran? Or China? Or Hamas?

Carl Gottlieb's avatar

People with any cognitive abilities do despise those nations.

Really? Two million Arabs live in Israel with equal rights. How is that an apartheid state? But, if I look around the region at Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt, there are no Jews - none. There were nearly a million Jews in these countries a few decades ago and they were all forcibly exiled. Remind me again of the definition of apartheid.

"apartheid state"?

Do you know what "apartheid" means?

This was a South African social and legal system based entirely on race, a cradle-to-grave form of segregation, that has nothing to do with Israel, except being another slur term meant to smear shit on it.

20% of Israel are Arabs, the only Arabs who have civil and human rights anywhere in the Middle East, not to mention all the other races and ethnicities that live freely in Israel.

As for the WB, that is disputed territory and the barriers there have nothing to do with race, but were installed to protect Israelis after various Intifadas led to suicide bombers killing around 1k Israelis on buses, in schools and restaurants. The Palestinians have been offered full statehood in the WB for decades, but have turned down every offer, as they don't want their own state but to destroy Israel.

As for the "killing innocent children" sob song, the crocodile tears of Westerners never flow for any Arab children when they're killed in bulk by other Arabs, only by Israel. Hamas started a war, built miles of tunnels and zero bomb shelters, use hospitals and schools as bases, and if Israel were to move them out of harm's way, useful idiots like you would shriek Ethnic cleansing!

It's one thing to be a fool, but at least be your own fool. Don't let others do your thinking for you.

So the reason why Israel gets held back from taking place and part at negotiation tables is "because it´s too strong" ? Anyway, if "negotiations" are not about and with Israel, then it is strange how Iran can claim that closing Hormuz again should be "because of Israel resuming fight against Hezbollah" ? If Israel continues to be held away from negotiations and contracts, of course it has no obligations towards USA and Iran.

If negotiations would have included obligations requiring Iran—and other countries such as Qatar—to refrain from any support for terrorism, then Israel could also confirm obligations not to take action against terrorists. As long as Israel is excluded from all key negotiations, no one can demand that it ceases its self-defense without receiving something in return or obtaining guarantees from others.

It is very strange that the US cannot, or will not, make such benefits clear to its own population, as well as to Iran and the other parties involved.

They hate us when we’re weak. They hate us when we’re strong. I’d rather be strong and hated.

Suzy's avatar

Exactly. As Dara Horn’s book title says: “People Love Dead Jews”.

Jack Weiss's avatar

The world prefers defenseless , stateless or better yet dead Jews. The present state of Israel is nether stateless or defenseless and makes the Jews hating nation very nervous . The IDF is battle hardened and superbly equipped

Just imagine how bad it will get when HaShem Himself steps in to end the Gog/Magog war as prophesied in Ezekiel 38 & 39. Yeehaw! Alleluia! Coming to a Jezreel Valley near you. Soon.
