                  Mizrahi Jews are also white.

                  lol okay. They're the same colour as the Palestinians.

                  I'm an Indian, obviously I don't like European colonizers, which is why I don't like Jews in Israel. I've got nothing against Jews here.

                  Oh boy.

                Here's a fun fact

                Anyone can convert to Judaism
                You can go on a "birth right" tour
                You can also claim and buy land in occupied Palestine and say it's "yours" once you have fully converted..

            Many Jews sought refuge in Palestine fleeing Europe. This is a well known fact.

            Jews from all over asia converted to many other religions. Over the centuries. They don’t just vanish.

              @Soldier:

              Most of the zionists that have now settled in Palestine are intact of European decent.
              Most of the Jews that were living in the region either converted to Christianity or Muslim

              The largest group of Jews in Israel are Mizrahi and come from the area, not Europe.

              In Israel it is illegal to get a dna test. They’re scared to prove that they are just European settlers.

              You said it was illegal, and that "they're scared to prove that they are just European settlers". This is not correct. It is legal to obtain a DNA test, you even said so in your follow up post, and plenty of people obtain kits from overseas.

              There are plenty of reasons to be against Israel - they provide reasons on a daily basis - but what you have said is not one and delves into conspiracy theories.

          It's more of it's illegal because it will show that the Palestinians (the ones being bombed) are actually more Jewish in the historical sense than the modern day settlers lol. So less focus on Israelis being Europeans than it is, bombing the true descendants of ancient Jews lol.

    • +38

      You seem to want to reduce this down to a religious thing

      Israel has happily killed many christians, bombed plenty of churches.

      In fact the “state of Israel” is a secular entity that doesn’t represent the Jewish religion. They’ve hijacled the name and using it as a means to hide behind their atrocities. You can’t call out wrong doings without being labelled anti semetic. Kind of how the crusades were used behind a religious facade that had nothing to do with religion. Crusades butchered Christian’s Jews and Muslim living in the levant.

      Zionism does not equal Judaism

      • Of course Palsitinans are 'also Christians' although they are a minority - im trying to understand how either side justifies killing innocent people esp children?

        ive seen documenaries on both sides there is 'so much' hate the kids are taught from a young age

        the reason i make this comment is the trailer for this documentry the narrator says the people of the town believe God gave this land to the Jewish people - but God would be the God of Muslism people too? i mean technically they both believe in 1 God

        • +4

          Ehh. If I was Palestinans, I wouldn't see the Jewish civilians as innocent, and would 100% support targeted strikes against them. Any Jew not complicit with the war, would have moved out years ago. From the Palestinian perspective, the Jews are European neo colonailists, who just so happen to follow the same religion, as a bunch of people who died 2k year ago.

            all this does is create more hate and death

            Jewish/Christian/Muslims have lived in the middle east as far back as history can write and for the most part have managed to 'get along' ie the Ottoman Empire for some reason now they dont?

            we have multiple faiths in Australia we seem to mostly get along if we can 'do it here' they can do it there

            • -2

              @Trying2SaveABuck: Because this is Australia. We spend lots of time and money, to naturalize here, and the children are descendants of those who have already naturalized. This is Europe's problem. They skip the naturalization part.

              Jews/Muslims are born in the middle east, they don't make the sacrifices to naturlize. That's what makes them violent.

              • @John Barosa: Why cant we all just get along?

                • @Trying2SaveABuck: Cause after full independence in 1985, Australia was founded to be a place for us all. Israel was founded to be for Jews, and their obedient Muslims underlings.

                  West/East/South Asians take citizenship a lot more seriously than Europeans/Americans. Getting even Indian citizenship, is harder than getting Luxembourg/Polish citizenship. And getting any kind of Arab citizenship is impossible.

                  • @John Barosa: Well i hope they find a 'lasting peace' and battle out rivalries on a sports pitch not a battle field

                    God bless them both

            • @tenpercent: Partially true. Civilians are not fully innocent, to their governments actions. And yes Americans do not deserve harassment for government's actions. But the Native Americans renounced their claim to the land, while the Palestinians still maintain it.

              Jews on the other hand are only really one group. And they're very wealthy, they can move wherever they want, but they choose to stay in Israel.

          Trust me, the kids in Palestine do not need to be taught to hate the way they are being treated. The are living under occupation. It’s an apartheid. Water electricity medicines are controlled by these occupiers.

          You know that the 40 beheaded babies thing was a lie from October 7 right? It was propaganda. Never happened. The deaths that they reported from that day were over exaggerated. Many of whom were killed by Israeli forces because a) they didn’t know what to do, and b) they’d rather kill their people then have hostages (look up the hannibal directive) And most hostages were taken from military posts, pretty much all of them were serving some capacity in the military

          Belief in God is one thing. Twisting and lying under the banner of God is completely another thing. Never did God direct Jews to kill and take land. In fact they were banished from the levant, and made against their religion to hold a kingdom. What we are seeing today are secular Zionist who hid behind the Jewish religion to do what they want. All the while doing so with a blank US cheque mind you. They bomb Iran without being provoke? What does the US do? Join in

          So I believe in God. I don’t believe that Jews must own the Jerusalem and surrounding lands. It’s not in any scripture to charge and kill

          Israeli's are hiding behind the ill-founded belief that 'no one can judge them because if they do they are Anti-Semite".

          Thankfully the world (and the history books) aren't afraid anymore. The Jewish People are committing genocide in Gaza… they are making enemies of the entire world, just like USA and Russia. They will realise sooner or later that they can't fight everyone. Bullies HATE people standing up to them, and now the whole world is waking from their slumber. Pariah countries that will suffer horribly from the isolation coming for them.

      What's important, is making sure the Jewish and Muslim population don't fight in Australia, cause we have no control over the middle east.

        Hey John, you probably want to see every Jew washed out in the sea as most citizens of Israel were born there and don't have an Australian or foreign passport to just pack up and leave.

        I can't believe racist filth like that can be freely posted on these forums requesting for JEWS to be evicted.

        Sounds very similar to what the Nazis were hoping for getting all the Jews out

          Create a new Israel for them. Maybe Ukraine, in exchange for supporting their war. Maybe Germany for WW2 reparations. Maybe Japan, for economic growth. Maybe Australia, so they can be far far away, from any other people.

          I'm cool with an Israel here, just make sure it's on the west coast of Australia, and they have no freedom of movement to Australia, and can't hold citizenship here..

          Jews are European, they should go to Europe. Basic logic. They were kicked out of Europe, because nobody in Europe wanted them, and British still controlled the Middle East.

          Israel is slightly bigger than UAE right? Small country. But still, Jews are white, and white people should live in Europe/America. And they can take their middle eastern friends with them.

            @John Barosa: Israel bigger than the UAE? Which map are you looking at?
            Jews are not exclusively white, there are many different colours of Jews from different parts of the world, including Israel.
            BTW, "Palestinians" are mostly from Jordan and Egypt, are you suggesting they should all go there?

            • @Bugs Bunny: WOW Israel is tiny.

              All I've ever seen are the white Jews. Brown Jews are like Black Aboriginals. You're told they exist, but no actually sees them.

              Palestinians are Arab though, and thus have claim to Palestine, which is Arab. Jews aren't Arab, they're European. I agree that Arab Jews should remain in the middle east, but Iran, Saudi etc are just gonna kill them, so they should join the white Jews in Europe, and create a new Israel.

              • +4

                @John Barosa: Curiously, how do you know a Jew when you see one? There are plenty here in Australia with different coloured skin, you've probably seen them without realising they're Jewish.
                Really not sure where you're getting any of your info from (Israel bigger than UAE, Jews only white, Israel being Arab), but it might be time to do some proper research.
                Israel is not part of Arabia (where Arabs come from), if "Palestinians are Arab then, by your logic, they should return to Arabia (Saudia Arabia, Qatar, Yemen etc) only issue is they're not wanted there or in Egypt for that matter.
                Also Saudia Arabia is not going to kill Israelites, they have a good relationship and are practically part of the Abraham Accord.
                Finally, whilst many Jews (who were expelled or fleeing for their life) came from Europe, there are many who have lived there for centuries.
                Also the term Jew comes from Judea (Israel) which is where Jews have been for centuries.

        You are right, the better option is for both sides to continue hating each other and for their conflict to infect the rest of the world.
        We are much better off to decide which side is more virtuous without a dog in the fight.
        Out of interest were the Jews or the Palestinians the first people to live in those lands?
        Maybe the bigger fight should be returning all humans to Africa as we stole land from all the native animals everywhere else?
        At what particular date are the people who live in a particular geography entitled to call themselves native to the land? Personally I’m pro-kangaroo and I think all humans should get the hell out of Australia.

            I’m sorry but had the Palestinians decided to accept the UN borders they’d have the Palestinian State they wanted but after Israel has lived under constant threat of terrorism the part of their society that hates Palestinians only becomes stronger while there is a significant number of Israelis who would happily vote for a unified or 2 state solution if they felt able to negotiate in good faith without worrying the other side wants their death.
            Honestly I think the world should stay out of this conflict and stop helping perpetuate it, without any foreign involvement they be forced to come to a long term solution as neither side is big enough to keep the status quo.
