10 Things you Weren’t Taught about the Conflict in Israel
1. Arabs launched a massive world conquest 1400 years ago, taking most of the Middle East, and much of Africa, Europe, and Asia. They ethnically and culturally cleansed everywhere they went.
2. Rome and Mecca created state religions borrowing heavily from existing traditions. including Judaism, which they theologically sought to replace. Both empires sought to control minds, institutionalizing xenophobia and persecuting minorities.
3. State temples often replaced sacred sites in conquered areas. Zeus was placed in Jerusalem, and later mosques. Thousands of temples were destroyed or replaced across the Middle-East, India, and Europe. Ancient Judean kings previously destroyed Goddess temples.
4. The West has not exorcised it’s hatred of Jews and pagans institutionalized by Rome. The global Muslim society is openly and brazenly antisemitic and xenophobic.
5. Judeans are indigenous to Judea. Arabs are from Arabia. The conflict isn’t about land, it’s about political control using religion and hate.
6. Arabs in Judea are part of general Arab culture, which controls 99%+ of the Middle-East. “Palestina” was the Roman name for Judea, which the British adopted, and Arabs only started using in the 1960s.
7. After WWI and the Ottomans’ fall, the League of Nations and British re-dedicated the mandate as Jewish homeland. At the last minute, 77% was given to Arabs (now Jordan). The Arabs wanted 100% and have been fighting for it ever since.
8. The Arabs near Israel are used by the greater Arab world as disposable pawns to ethnically cleanse other faiths. They’re indoctrinated with extremism genocidal hatred from youth.
9. The Arab world sees this militancy as useful, but don’t want it in their own societies, generally not accepting them as refugees.
10. The conflict is fueled by hate indoctrination and religious intolerance. Eliminating this is the only way to peace. The higher meaning of jihad is said to be self-perfection. (That is a lie. Muhammad said there is nothing higher in Islam than killing & dying for the cause of Allah.) May we aspire to evolve ourselves and our societies towards peace, tolerance, and mutual prosperity.
