With Israel independence day coming up, let's discuss it's history

Thank you France and Britain.

step 1: settle wherever nobody else lives, aka eastern russia
consequence: prevent the fucked up situation in the middle east

Greater Israel

I would have used the Samson option on myself and initiated another Shoah: nuclear boogaloo

>offer to help them with the invasion of Afghanistan and the invasion of Iraq
would've alienated all the other allies in the region

we were all thinking the same thing

Compromise was impossible in 1948. The Husseni's had incensed the Palestinians to the point of hysteria. Bloody, nationalistic fervor also held a grip on the Zionists.

The Arabs nations didn't want to go to war. They knew they were out gunned and poorly trained. But the average man on the street was screaming for it. They were afraid of being deposed if they didn't go to war. Which is ironic because they were deposed for their failure.

There is no compromise here. The Jews want an ethno-nationalist state in heart of Dar-Al-Islam. Both have extreme hostility towards outsiders. It was never going to work out well.

I do agree with Benny Morris. Ben-Gurion should have expelled all of the Arabs in Israel, rather than just the ones the IDF thought were a threat. It would have stablized the country for generations. Then they should have done the same in 1967 when they took over Gaza and the West Bank. Then there would be no constant bitching by SJW's about "muh Palestine".

FREE PALESTINE
FROM THE RIVER
TO THE SEA

Zionists get the FUCK out of muh Palestine.

Yeah picture it the SJW way again. Just ignore the constant arab aggression against Israel. After they have attacked multiple times and got slaughtered suddenly everyone is crying now. Its literally like some nerd kid sneaks up to the quarterback sucker punches him (repeatedly because he drank way too much of the anime cool aid) and everyone cries injustice when the nerd does some Toilet diving ocassionally.

Israel should have expelled them all. Their culture is trash and Israel is way more valuable for the world F A M

Hi

Can we talk about how retarded these borders are real quick?

Most of that white was just uninhabited desert. 90% of the Arabs lived in Haifa or Jaffa.

Rather a few places like Haifa and Jaffa.

This. It would have been better if we just left the Israelis to worry about their own problems. With all the western aid they got they've gotten way too cocky and have been constantly kicking up shit in the region ever since

>literal refugees with guns who openly immigrate to take over land
>native inhabitants fight back
OY VEY IT'S ANUDDAH SHOAH WHY DO THEY HATE US WE DINDU NUFFIN WRONG

Israel's indepebdebce day was yesterday on the Hebrew calendar, goy.

Nah, just a few of them

"I'm Jewish so my opinion on Israel matters more"

Yes.

it's their own fault. if the palestinians supported the Ottomans during WW1 this wouldn't have happend

>wrong
>he thinks its about right or wrong
>he doesnt realize that the desire to fnd who is right is exactly the fuel for the conflict.
You can argue about who is "right" forever and the bloodshed will never end.
the only way to end it right now is to forget the past and make due with what we got.

Has there ever been an Arab-Jewish militia/organization
It would be super cool I think
Fighting the oppressive IDF and then removing the fucking extremist Jihadis and then making a civillized country that doesn't fire ROCKETS AT children

The Arab revolt is one of the greatest examples of Anglo perfidy ever.

>How would you have compromised with the Arabs?
Lol man I wouldn't.
Their lost their land in war, in which they've always had material and numerical advantage. The compromise would happen if it was like they were huge threat to Israel instead of being literally worthless jokes of a states.

>I know a few buzzwords and some shit i read onlie so here are some political memes

i would take the palestinian territories devide the land into states start up a national council with representants of each state jewish and arab in jerusalem which is the capital these representants would then work out some constitution. every state would get still some autonomy but the federal government has the main power of judiciary military and executive.
the state is secular of course and gives equal rights to jews and muslims. arab and hebrew are taught in every school. call country semiteistan and use propaganda to promote semite nationalism. military draft for every group. divions are mixed. war against the socialist pan arab states perpetuates semite nationalism.

This Semetic/Phonecian nationalism is probably the best way to gain peace between Jews and Arabs, also give this place a banging military and 3 heads of the country that are Democraticly elected one makes social laws (gay marriage, gun control etc.) One that does the economic stuff and a supreme military general

the jew neighbourhoods in my city will be putting up israeli flags everywhere, its digusting

their primary allegiance is to israel, not the country they actually live in

Settle the jews in Libya and get oil monies

I wouldn't have created a Jewish country slap bang in the middle of one of the most unstable and religiously intolerant places on the planet for entirely sentimental "WE WUZ JUDEANS AND SHIT" reasons and then given them a ton of American weaponary.

If the Jews really needed a homeland (and they didn't) there are many better locations than the fucking Middle East.

>What is the cold war
>What are proxy wars

1948 Israel was more in the soviet unions sphere of influence anyway, USA only really helped them in the yom kippur war in which all the arabs where funded, trained and equipped by the the soviets anyway.

its crazy, jewish and christian arabs where actually part of the arab congress of 1913 against the turkification of the arab lands in the ottoman empire.

There can't be any progress in Israel untill Hamas and Netanyahu are gone, those people don't want peace

but how? did they trade alot with the ussr?

yeah they both play a game and both think that they will win in the long run.

And Hamas has no chance of winning and Netanyahu is a fucking genocidal maniac and the whole region suffers because of it, the West should just take control of the whole region untill it stabilizes, nobody there can successfully run a state

israel is pretty successfull. this palestinian genocide meme needs to die...

If no one lives somewhere it's typically for good reason. Just like how land in Detroit is cheap for a reason.

>OMG I CAN BUY A HOUSE FOR A DOLLAR WHAT A BARGAIN!
>OMG IT'S FALLING APART
>OMG IT'S FULL OF CRACKHEADS
>OMG THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS A WARZONE AND THE POLICE DON'T COME WHEN YOU CALL THEM
>OMG THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT EXPECTS ME TO PAY HOW MUCH IN TAXES?

Ridiculous levels of decentralization in civilian government to the point where it is impossible to form a coherent political entity encompassing the gaza strip or west bank.

Even if it's not genocide he's killing a bunch of women and children

Those are just a few wackos

>Palestinian population has risen considerably even after mass emigration
>hurr durr Israel is literally committing genocide

DUDE

ITS 2016

FREE PALESTINE

Since immigrants are bad can we start kicking muslims out of europe already?

Yeah, send them to Israel to kill Jews and achieve world peace

You American? Because if so then you shouldn't throw stones in glass houses, considering you needed France to bankrupt itself helping you to break from the UK.

As soon as immigrants start ethnic cleansing to establish a "Jewish state"

oh wow thats something new in world history : people dying in conflicts.

There wouldn't be a conflict is Palestinians weren't under military rule

There wouldn't be a military conflict of arabs weren't fucking retarded and there wouldnt be a conflict if the holocaust didnt happen and there wouldn't be a conflict if the Ottomans were stronger and there wouldn't be a military conflict and the British were honest and there wouldn't be a conflict if the sultan let shabbatai z'vi settle in Ottoman Palestine and there wouldn't be a military conflict if bar kochba hadnt lost against Rome and so and and so forth, the only thing that matters is that there IS conflict that is being perpetuated by the irrational Palestinian leaders.

Only Hamas and the IDF are perpetuating conflict, the rest of the region wants peace

>the IDF

Not it's own entity, as vague as blaming "the Jews"

Fatah is fucking cancer too

The entire Palestinian authority is cancer

(eye roll)
People like this actually expouse their nonesense without a second thought..

Most of the plaestinians when polled did not want peace.

Let me correct this. Most palestiniains do not support a two state solution.
they
do
not
support
a
two
state
solution

The murderous netanyahu does..
If you ask palestiniains about th situaiton they will still go back to 1948 and tell you jews shouldnt be here. They fail to accept the present and are no where near to wanting peace.
The information is from the palestinian .

The palestinian polling agency.*

I hold a theory that the reason Israel is/was such a big deal is because it ties into the whole Out of Africa theory. When you really boil it down, it makes sense. I have an explanation for the Sea Peoples too if you'd like.

they have a good reason to not want a two state solution. it won't be long before they are the majority. a single state with democracy would give them the most power

>won't someone please think of the CHIIIIIIIILDREEEEEEEEEN
literally the most worthless argument ever

Arab nationalism>Zionism

Arab nationalism sounded cool but it was a completely disorganized, ugly mess. It's like the Arabs didn't know what to do without someone controlling them after all the years of empirical rule.

how to stop arguments over the validity of the state of Israel devolving into
>jews shouldn't be there arabs were there first
>well arabs should fuck off back to arabia
>few people always suggesting a revival of the crusader states
???

by stating that all these points are unrealistic. the only way to force millions of people to migrate from that land is either by some crazy nazi policies or a major war. both solutions are not acceptable to the majority of arabs and jews since most just want to live in peace, have some prosperity and mind their own buisness

This, but call the country Canaan and try to educate people on the old Canaanite pantheon and the gods that evolved into the Abrahamic god and educate people on where their faith came from, and there would be the same militaristic culture that's in Israel today but without all the racial tension
We should try to conquer the whole middle East and modernize it, but still keep the unique culture of the region intact, and revive the old Persian Immortals with an elite 10,000 strong heavily armed elite paramilitary group with reserves so the number stays at 10,000
And this guy's 3 leaders thing sounds pretty cool but they would have to check and balance each others power and a Congress should have the power to replace any of them if they have public support

> that meme

welp, pinecone was right

You mean imperial, empirical means something very different.

I wouldn't have given up Jordan or the Sinai for starters.
