Zionism is Political

What is surprising is that most people don't know the History of how Israel became a country. In fact with the Balfour declaration it only stated that Jews should have a "National Homeland" that does not mean they should constitute a country/STATE! When the first European jews in the late 1800's came over to Palestine they did not try to take it over from the Palestinian Muslims, Jews, and Christians. It wasn't until WWII that the US pressured England to submit to allowing more Jews into Palestine, still though this did not mean they constituted a STATE! They stole the land from other Jewish, Christian and Muslim Palestinians who formerly were ruled by a JUST Ottoman empire (before the british conquered).

For over 1500 years that land had primarily lived in peace under MUSLIM caliphate rule except for when the European Christian CRUSADERS massacred people there.
Anyone with baseless opinions to this conflict need to calm down, do some reading, look beyond their local media and try to understand the other side.

There is a very specific reason to why the Palestinians, such as Hamas, will never recognize Israel. Palestinians have been shat upon for the past 60 years. Much of the Muslim world has been in too much internal conflict because of Nationalism to respond to this occupation. Proud Palestinians have been dehumanized continuously for 60 years.
In fact, the water table under Gaza, has been siphoned from underneath them by Israel amongst other issues. What we haven't heard in the news here is that Israel has enforced STRICT sanctions on Gaza for over 9 months. Egypt is too afraid of opening the border with Gaza because of Israeli repercussions, which is causing much strife internationally.

I want people to imagine how they would act if someone came to your land that your family has had for hundreds of years and claimed it as their own! WHAT WOULD YOU DO??? You would fight for your land and you would not give up until you had your ancestral land! period.

HOW can anyone sitting in the WEST who has not been forcibly removed from their ancestral land possibly imagine how the Palestinians feel and how Hamas desires to restore land stolen by the Zionist?

btw, I was raised Jewish and had even contemplated in my youth to become an Israeli citizen. I don't make any comment from a racist xenophobic place, but speak from a place of knowledge.

The only religious state where all 3 Abrahamic faiths lived peacefully was an Islamic STATE. In fact, it was the Islamic state that specifically protected it's different religious denomination against foreign attack especially against the all too righteous Catholic church.

More than ever we need an Islamic State that follows the laws and rules of God that will allow society to restore itself to a place of spiritual development and not on one where hedonistic and utilitarian desires run rampant!
