Why do some people feel so threatened at the thought that there ......?

Question

would be, could be, hopefully will be a state of Palestine? I see many comments where people are so angry and upset and say that Palestine in Quotations does not exist and will never exist. Certainly it can't be that you love war. I don't think any human loves war. Would it be that bad if Palestinians had there own state? Their own economy, trade partners etc. The longer that Israel continues to occupy the West Bank, the war will only continue.......do you want Peace? Thanks for all answers in advance. Pray 4 Peace.

Answer 1

Both sides are guilty of the quotation mark thing,they think if they wish it enough it will come true. It's like little kids trying to block someone out by sticking their fingers in their ears and saying la la la i can't hear you. Peace would be best,but it don't seem people can even get along online.

Answer 2

I am not an Arab and certainly not a ...jew!

The Palestinians are doing the right thing, because once that American-jew forced "marriage" gets a divorce, once the Americans wake up, there's gonna be no trace of ...israel to remind us modern world about it.

And also, why should the Palestinians agree getting a small piece of their land back?

They want all of Palestine back.

That's what God wants. God cursed jews to wander around homeless, remember?

read the Bible for heaven's sake.

bye bye

Answer 3

It is funny how many uniformed people come on here posting. Not only do most Israelis support a Palestinian state, but one has been offered and rejected on several occasions. As to why people post and say that a Palestinian state does not exist, this is because it is true. The Palestinian people never owned the land and had a Palestinian state. Now, there are Palestinian territories that may become a state if Hamas ever renounces terror and they can stop infighting. Israel is willing to allow a Palestinian state in exchange for peace, but this is unlikely.

The biggest problem facing the Palestinians is not the Israelis, it is the Palestinians. Get control of Hamas and Islamic Jihad and there will be cooperation. Until then, Israel will not and has no reason to cooperate with a terrorist political party.

Answer 4

I highly doubnt Greeks will move to Gaza and parts of the Sinai and call themselves Philistines just because Arabs want them to.

Answer 5

I believe that there's away for peace there ONLY if they stop shooting to each others and to killing for whatever they call it.

Everybody want peace in that area Jew,Christian and Muslims too.

That place is the most amazing place in the world.I wish that souls shooting stops,I wish.

PS:

Not American not from any area I'm just human

Answer 6

not all israelis do not want the palestinians to have their own country.a bout half of the israeli population do agree on that issue (myself included).

the other half believes that the palestinian people will never be satisfied with the land they do get and so the war with us israelis will never end,so they think..what's the point?

there is a minority here in israel too who wants the "whole land of israel" and are not willing the palestinians to have a county of their own on israeli soil but they all succumb to the leadership and bend to the majority rule.

i remain hopeful that peace will come and that our two nations will one day live peacefully together.

Answer 7

It is not fear or angry upset etc. that motivates Israel it is out of "Justice" big J and quotation marks for emphasis "Justice." The other is religiously that Israel cannot divide its biblical land it is G-d's land to give to Israel and only G-d can grant it away of which was promised to never occur.

About being threatened yes that is very much a fact and Israel isn't backing down.

History really shows that palestinians have no claim to the land they got their roots in PLO as a political movement spoon fed by Egypt to overtake Israel by force. The PLO charter even signed off ALL rights to ANY land and expressed they would make an army to do such.  Jordan expelled them because they went to overtake Jordan which was their half of the palestine region. Then they were expelled from Lebanon.  Egypt abandoned their infant. And now Hamas overthrew more moderate Fatah.

They are even admitting what they are doing:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa. While as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan." -- PLO Executive Committee member Zuhayr Muhsin, March 31, 1977, interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw."

So why does anyone want to give land to a political movement that has resorted to terror tactics to force their way. War or the avoidance of isn't an answer to give someone land.

They got Gaza.  If I had my say it is all they get and they should be thankful to Israel they got that much which was more than any other arab or muslim country was willing to give.  They just always wanted more. They had opportunity to make home state (one more time how many opportunities they had.)  Just look at history there is massive  preponderance of facts that points to such that they don't want a palestinian state, they have always wanted all of Israel.

Answer 8

I think you should study theology it will help you understand the fear some people use to gain the advantage over others : )

retarded people love to fight, normal people enjoy peace

Answer 9

and if the palestinians had their own state, it would make everyone stop trying to tear each other to pieces

Answer 10

The only threat I feel is when rockets are being launched into the city where I live by Muslims living in so called "occupied" territory.  It is easy to want peace with terrorists from in front of one's computer in one's comfortable home, far, far away.

I don't like war and I don't like being threatened and denied a place to live by people who do not recognize Israel's right to exist.  It is very naive to think that Israel has built walls and checkpoints for the sheer fun of it, and to simply keep people restricted for no reason at all.  There was a reason for these actions, and I can assure you the money used on such measures would have been better spent in development for the so called "victims" who victimize themselves by "electing" a bunch of terrorists to "represent" them.  There is also no reason in the world why Israelis should ever trust those who choose to "elect" hamas to "represent" them.  As a matter of fact, it wouldn't even make any sense.  It would be like asking a mouse to trust a cat.

The same way many Jewish people have had to leave their homes in many countries of the world throughout the ages, I believe it would be best for Muslims living in Judah and Samaria to be absorbed by Muslim countries where they will fit in and be much happier.

We feel "threatened" because hamas and Islamic Jihad have given us reason to. I would not want "neighbors" living in one country that is split into two parts where my country is between and risk my life every time it's people want to pass through to and from.  There have been way too many terrorist attempts and too much hatred for us to feel comfortable with that.  

Sincerely,

Ms.  Miche ; })

Answer 11

I love war. h**l, I'm Patton reincarnated. Palestine doesn't deserve a state because they haven't earned it. Those Israelis fight for everything, never give an inch of ground without making the enemy pay for it, and violate all the UN resolutions they want because they know the UN are a bunch of corrupt slimy politicians.

The current ceasefire happened only after the death toll for the Palestinians rose to 400+; Israel had only 7 confirmed deaths.

Palestine needs to realize that land isn't theirs and even though I don't believe in God, they do, and they know that their God gave them that land.'

Read the Old Testament.

Answer 12

I'm not american... I'm canadian so I don't really think about anything like that :d... but it's in human nature to love war

Answer 13

It is called education, kids are taught from early age that there are no Palestinian people or a country called Palestine.

Answer 14

Yes. I believe in a one state solution. Palestine for the Palestinians. Invaders back to their lands.

Answer 15

Palestine has always had a state.  It's called Jordon.  Why aren't the West Bankers arguing with them for admittance?  No one is afraid of the thought of a separate state it's old news.  Most wish the Gazans would get their ducks in a row so there could be trade in and out. As with Jordon.

It would be so much easier if the Muslims would stop saying on one hand they want a treaty and on the other claim the eventual demise of the "Occupiers".

No one in the world trust the so called Palestinian represenatives and can see no sense in engaging with them.

How can you have a state when everyone has a gun but no one has a job?

How can you have a state when the elected leaders are so openly corrupt and liars.

The Pals asked the Jews to move out of Gaza and let them have it.  They did and the Pals immediately went to war with each other and destroyed every viable source of income left behind.

How can you have a state when you insist on living like barbarians.

No more room in Gaza?  Collapse the tunnels to Egypt and build on them.

Hopeless, wake up please.  If you look outside your own special interest world, war is a way of life for millions all over the world.  War is big business.  Many love war for many reasons.  Not saying they are right.

I will say that if you would spend some of your prayer for peace time and pray for the well being of all and that all men turn to God.

A Christian belief.  No one gets saved until someone prays for them to.

God will be evident in the defense of Israel.

Pray that God become evident in the hearts of all people.

You are a steward of your prayer time.  Use it for God's will.

Answer 16

we have tried to give the palastenians a new state, they just wont accept the offer. nobody likes war but as long as the hamas coninues to openly state that their goal is to push all the jews into the sea, the war will continue...

one fact is this....if hamas would lay down their weapons there would be calm but if israel laid down their weapons there would be a second holocaust.

Answer 17

Oh, goodness. You're one of the most annoying people ever. If you care so much about them, then why don't you go run there government, or join forces w/ Hamas? I'd like to see you standing in front one of your terrorists that the Palestinians voted to run them, as a human shelter.
