“A national home for the Jewish people” is contrary to the expansionist designs of Islam, and, worse, the state of Israel is smack dab in the middle of a Muslim predomination. The Jews merit their own homeland, as do Kurds and Yazidis and others. But how does a small group resist Islamic fascism? I wish the world would focus less on Israel and more on the rights of minorities in Muslim-dominated dictatorships.
Jim McMurty yes, lsrael is getting more than it's fair share of attention perhaps because the West has turned a blind eye to the conflict for the last 76+ years.
Too much emphasis has been put on the Balfour Declaration but, conveniently overlook the words...
"it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the CIVIL and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine".
Apart from disagreeing with her conclusion, Barbara Kay presents an articulate and balanced presentation regarding the Balfour declaration. It is a well established fact that Balfour's declaration was heavily influence by Christian Zionism which foretold the second coming of Christ in a Palestine occupied by Jews. If we can accept that the Bible justifies Jewish appropriation of Palestinian land then we must also accept the conditions upon which this can occur:
"Ezekiel 47:21-23 “Divide up this land among the twelve tribes of Israel. Divide it up as your inheritance and include in it the resident aliens who have made themselves at home among you and now have children. Treat them as if they were born there, just like yourselves. They also get an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. In whatever tribe the resident alien lives, there he gets his inheritance.
It sound to me that the biblical authority for Zionism has somehow been lost in the fog of entitlement and greed and the peaceful inheritance promised by the prophecy has degenerated in the murderous onslaught of genocide.
The Munk debate in Toronto posed "Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism" Douglas Murray was on the yes/agree team while Mehdi Hasan was on the no/disagree team.
Murray is well-known for his Anti-Islamist views and, having listened to his vile attacks on Mehdi in front of an audience that was far from un-biased, audience l don't think Murray deserves to be creditted for proving a statement that is factually and historically incorrect.
I don't think so either. Murray is far from being impartial in his views and if fact is one of the principal cheerleaders for the apartheid and genocidal state of Israel.
