r/IsraelPalestine

I notice there is always this weird thing Muslims claim that Indians are bootlicking zionists who hate them and consider them as idol worshipers and filthy and Indians are pathetic for trying to align with Israelis

But by the same logic Palestinians and arabs are way more racist to Indians than Israelis so why should we support them. Infact Arabs are racist toward South Asian Muslims as well but still expect support from them

Much more anti Indians racism comes from Muslims world compared to Jewish world

So Why do they use this argument?

Israel was the victor in all five Arab-Israeli wars. Yet despite being the victor, it eventually handed over Gaza and parts of the West Bank for Palestinian self-rule and the possibility of a future Palestinian state. How many countries would be willing to give back territory they won in war, especially when their own country is already so small?

Even on security issues, lsrael used to show a surprising degree of leniency. Yahya Sinwar, for example, was released by Israel multiple times and even underwent brain tumor surgery in Israel while he was in prison. In 2011, lsrael traded more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners for a single captured Israeli soldier. Even after winning every war, Israel has never expelled its two million Muslim citizens, nor has it demolished the mosque standing on the Temple Mount. Looking back, those decisions seem overly idealistic.

That's why, although Israel has become much more hardline on the Palestinian issue today, that shift is driven more by security concerns and hard-learned lessons than by traditional right-wing ideology. In many ways, lsraeli society still holds a lot of values that would be considered center-left or even left-leaning. The ancestors of these two million Muslim citizens of lsrael chose to stay in Israel rather than leave during the First Middle East War. They do not worry that the Israelis might kill or imprison them because of the war. They made the right choice.

Some Western countries that haven't experienced war on their own soil for decades are trending to the right these days. That makes Israel, a country that has lived with the reality of war for decades, all the more unusual for still having a left-wing tradition and support base.

Meanwhile, many Muslim societies are conservative on issues like religion, family values, and gender roles. That's why the alliance between Muslims and the Western left often feels unnatural. They stand together mainly because the left emphasizes inclusion and minority rights, not because they share the same core values.

There is something many divulgators of the conflict avoid to explain.

After 1949 theere was an armistice line, the famous Green Line, that still comprosed a large portion of Judea and Samaria in the originally intended arab portion of the Partition.

So i assume that the Palestinian arabs should have had their state in the West Bank, but I have read that soon after the area was more or less formally annexed to Jordan according to the strange formula of the "sacred custody"

I wonder why the leaders of the arab palestinians had not protested at least formally this decision, because UN wanted an indipendent arab Palestine and not a larger Jordan.

As a matter of facts, it was only in 1988 that the jordanian king renounced the "sacred custody" of Judea and Samaria, for nearly 40 years the palestinians de facto were forbidden to have their state by Jordan
