Both are the undisputed founders of the modern state of Israel and prime ministers...
I'll definitely look into them but considering the massive genocide, violence and exile it took to establish Israel, I can't help but find myself perplexed. I remain open to other virtues though.
Which genocide? The 6 million Jews that were killed in the Holocaust?
Which Exile? The millions of Jews living in Muslim countries Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Morocco and others before 1948 which were kicked out without notice and any of their money? My family lived in Syria for hundreds of years and then one day "get the fuck out!"
The previous wrongs are irrelevant. Those generations are gone. The Palestinians who occupied Israel at the time of their exile did not commit the atrocities that were committed by their forefathers. If the Jews want to set an example of love and forgiveness, they would not hold a grudge against an innocent generation of people. The lives that were lost had committed no crime to deserve their fate.
Do not force sentient individuals into a collective that can't think, feel nor much less be considered an organism. Innocent individuals were lost in the name of mere whims whether you considered them a part of a people that has hurt you or not.
It's a travesty that individual, innocent and important sentient beings can be lost only due to mere generational conflicts.
'Palestinian' just refers to someone who was living in that land. Palestine does not exist, there are Palestinian Jews and Palestinian Arabs.
There was no such thing as a Palestinian nationalistic dream, as the terrorist organizations like to make you believe. It simply did not exist.
They were not exiled in 1948, they were scared the Israeli military would murder them- which they did not. All Palestinian Arabs that stayed are Israeli citizens and have more rights then if they lived in Muslim theocracies.
In fact, both prime ministers Golda Meir and Itzhak Shamir traveled to all the Muslim cities in Israel BEGGING them not to leave, granting them full citizenship and telling them the Israeli state is not a religious one.
The Israeli government has shown love and forgiveness. Isn't it time the Palestinian's do the same, stop shooting rockets every day our cities, killing our people and acknowledge out right to exist?
Honestly, this is not a conversation for a Bitcoin forum. If you wanna respond, we can gladly jump on a skype call and discuss
I should warn you though I consider myself a historian in this subject, hold degrees and have spoken on this subject.
