I mean, in fairness they should have been given Germany for obvious reasons but Europeans didn't want the Jews there so they "let them" have Palestine.

Sure, but it's not what you do with it, it's the size that counts

I actually didn't realize that Israel is about the size of New Jersey... I always assumed it was bigger.

Florida is also stolen land. I like this solution the best:

eh. antisemitism is older than the invention of whiteness, so i dont think this makes any sense.

It’s the time when Trump danced in a befuddled reverie for twenty minutes at a rally instead of continuing his planned speech. Trump inner-circle members called his performance “electrifying”.

On the bright side, almost any nation is capable of destroying Israel because despite its arsenal of American weapons, it is very small.

Saudi fought against the Caliphate alongside the British in order to secure their own land. Originally Palestine was supposed to be included in Saudi's bounty but the British gave it to the Zionists.

Conquerors not colonizers, they had support from most of the major tribes. While recently they began acknowledging how diverse Saudi Arabia is, for the longest of time they had a policy of Najdification. They still show contempt to some aspects of the local cultures specially traditional Hejazi headdress).

I'm somewhat torn because there's a lot of positives but also some negatives that came from the conquest and unification of the Peninsula. I still prefer this outcome to being five or six different states, even if my ancestors fought for the Kingdom of Hejaz.

Some say they took money from the Brits to take over at the end of the 2nd WW as a end to kalifat.

The house of Saud is shit. They'd never do anything cool ever, not out of fear but because they're colonizers themselves.

u/PanArab@lemmy.ml · 8 points

Worse Saudi Arabia is dependent on US made weapons and are a few generations behind. Only Israel has access to the latest and greatest.

u/PanArab@lemmy.ml · 2 points

Regardless of how you feel about the House of Saud, the people don’t deserve this.

  • Israel is deranged and has the strongest military in the middle east atm, and nukes
  • The US has its navy on every major trade route
  • Europe's biggest members are all still aligned with Israel.

Basically Any nation attempting to jettison Israel would be devastated in multiple fashions, so none of them wants to start a large-scale fight.

The Saudi military is a proxy of the us military, given how much of Saudi arms come from the Americans.

u/PanArab@lemmy.ml · 8 points

The US would turn the entirety of Saudi Arabia into another Gaza. Sometimes it is wise to know how weak you are.

why doesn’t the saudi military come in and deport them all back to europe and america then

Because China hasn't taken Taiwan and made up with India yet

u/Suoko@feddit.it · -2 points

That's good, time to learn a bit of history now, and a lot of manners.

Otherwise we'll end up with this future:

2124, US invades Mexico (apparently with no reason but actually after years of conflicts) and Palestinians kick Israelis people away to play a never ending tennis match.

why doesn’t the saudi military come in and deport them all back to europe and america then? they really should. if you have a birth certificate not from palestine or “israel” you should be deported, then go back to the 1947 borders before the creation of israel

You know, if that all powerful god of theirs wants the Zionists to have their own land, he should just poof a land of milk and honey out in the middle of the ocean. He could move the temple too, if he wanted.

That way everyone could live in peace.

israel is just another honkey settler colonial state

honkeys hate themselves so much, and hate admitting that they hate themselves so much, that they've come up with antisemitism--an arbitrary designation of a group of honkeys as "non-honkey"--and are in the process of trying to convince the entire rest of the world that everything is their fault (instead of every honkey country's)

Aside: WTF is that cover photo? Is Trump dancing? Is it supposed to look like he's trying to throw a punch?

The Palestinians have yet to gift him the golden limb of one of the many obliterated children, so it's not likely.
