The ONLY deep evil in the Middle East is Islam/ Sharia and all its bitter clingers. Until an honest debate about the evils embedded in the Koran and its governing Sharia Laws is had, the rest of the discussions are pointless . The root cause is Islam. Winston Churchill captured that culture best when he stated:
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die: but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.. -----Winston Churchill
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. ---Winston Churchill
The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. ---Winston Churchill
I disagree. As a Jew, I have lived peacefully and quietly and happily in multiple Muslim-dominant countries. Some of the safest, happiest and friendliest places I have ever lived have been populated wholly by Muslims. Shari'ah Law is a set of laws guiding behavior. Do I think every system of law is perfect? No. For example, here in the US, we convict heinous, horrible people to death - and then they sit on death row for 20 years. In Saudi, a man convicted of rape and murder has his head removed from his shoulders in short order. Better system.
The radical death cults are the problem. Hamas, Hezbollah - the nutcase mullahs in Iran. Your average person living in Lebanon or Saudi or Abu Dhabi is not evil. Quite the contrary.
Winston was of a different age and time. Much of what he had to say had nothing to do with Islam and everything to do with cultural observances he made, often in places conquered by the British Empire, where people had a normal apathy towards doing anything to advance the interests of the Emperor.
You got lucky or they didn't know you were a Jew. Sharia Law governs the Koran and and every aspect of a Muslim's life. The Koran and its Sharia supercede our own constitution therefore making Islam a seditious ideology. It is NOT a religion but a political system hiding behind 'religion'. It belongs nowhere in Western Culture because it seeks our destruction above all else. You are either an ignorant useful tool, a liar and deciever or just plain libtard. Your words reek of it.
I am going to leave your offensive and incorrect comments here so people can see your words. Nothing is funnier than someone labeling me a "libtard." What possible motivation can I have in the midst of a worldwide eruption of Jew Hatred lie about any facet of this ongoing nightmare in Israel and the Middle East? Don't bother replying further - I won't read it and I'll delete it.
Yes, it is a true horror and shame that US tax dollars are funding UNRWA to print children's materials that foster Hate. 75 years ago, the Arab "leaders" for myriad reasons chose Jew Hatred as a motivating principle, so their own people did not start to ask uncomfortable questions about how those "leaders" got to "lead." They sowed hatred and despair and a victimhood ideology and are now reaping the results of those sad beginnings.
When you add to this toxic mix the kind of ignorant hatred coming from nasty, bitter, stupid people like this dipshit "Sara Levgold" whose idiotic, offensive replies concerning Islam are below yours in the comments, it is easy to despair of finding a solution forward.
That solution exists, and it will be created from tolerance for differences while at the same time calling out the actual people fomenting hate. It's not a perfect line to walk, but it's the only one that is going to end this absurdity and cycle of death and destruction.
To be perfectly clear, I am saying nothing about "the Arabs" generally. I am pointing out the bizarre societal distortions wrought in "Palestinian" culture by decades of Hate compounded by their own impotence in achieving their stated evil goals of killing all the Jews and destroying Israel. When the pretty-girl-killing mullahs in Iran are deposed and - hopefully - swinging from lampposts in Tehran, the cash is going to dry up unless the Qataris continue to fund this madness.
The sadness and misery of it all is that Gaza and Judea and Samaria should be wonderful places to live, thriving and jam packed once more with people from dozens of nations. But now, they are economic deserts populated by hate-filled sociopaths. It does not have to be this way. It is the choice of the residents, having nothing to do with "the Jews."
Can we just follow Switzerland's lead. Every western nation should take on Switzerland's position. Every so-called Democratic nation should halt funding.
Not all nations, you know the usuals, will stop funding. They are not interested in stopping the war.

It's nigh impossible to explain Westerns the motivation, culture, view point, and aim of the Arabs. There's just so much learning required.

Goodness Gracious

Too bad for them. They will lose.
