Jews, why should there be any Jewish state? Why should the current Israel be ONLY a Jewish state?

Question

I don't want to be offensive, I fully respect Jews. I am a Muslim and I believe that there should be a united state in which Muslims and Jews are living together. Don't you agree with this idea? We Muslims believe that the problem initiated when the Israeli state established by England. Jews and Arabs were living peacefully for centuries. Well, there were challenges but the history proved that the Jews and Arabs can live peacefully and I am sure it is feasible. I want to know Jews' and Zionists' opinion.

Answer 1

1.8 Arabs now live peacefully side by side with Jews in Israel it's the racists who say Israel shouldn't exist. Israel gave the people there the choice to stay and live together with them but racist Palestinians didn't want to live in a Jewish controlled state spread racist rumors of Jewish practices and made up stories of atrocities that would be committed against Muslims by Jews scaring people and convincing them to leave Israel and when they tried to enter the then newly formed border with Jordan the Jordanian government turned them back and created the Palestinian refugee problem that exists today. The land that is now called Israel was controlled by Jordan and Syria there was no Palestine as a independent country. Jews and Muslims can live together peacefully but it will only happen when the Groups like Hamas and Hezbollah quit teaching their children hate and racism and stop spreading the use of terror to get their way. When they start to love their children more than the hate Jews and non Muslims then there could be peaceful co-existence.

Answer 2

Hey, these terrorist organizations are always calling for the destruction of the "zionist entity". But what if Israel did away with all of its laws favoring jews over everyone else and the government funding for organizations advancing jewish interests, and passed a constitution respecting equality of race and religion? What would happen is eventual integration and equality between jews and everyone else living in Israel, like the direction america moved after the 1950's.

Wouldn't that constitute an end to the "Zionist entity"? Without bloodshed? With equality for all in israel?

Or is there no chance in hell that israel will ever stop favoring the jewish people over everyone else..?

Answer 3

It's not only a Jewish state, anyone can go there, I agree with what Jon Stewart said that Jerusalem shoud be an "international city." But there's no rules saying Muslims and Christians can't live in Israel...

Answer 4

They don't mind sharing it is the other groups involved in the mess that refuse to. I am glad that you respect people of the Jewish faith but maybe you should respect the library and do some research. It's not Muslims in general it's radical sects of Muslim. The Sonnie's, hasbula, Taliban ect.ect.ect.
Honestly if people were blowing my people up I would not want them in my country or state eather. They are just trying to keep their citizens safe. Just do the research and look at ALL sides please.
I pray for a day when knowledge is contagious and not war.

Answer 5

My friend, there is no room in the Bible or Torah for a 'State' other than Jewish. This whole 'living in a world of religious tolerance and acceptance' only works with Paganism and relgions that are not monotheistic. The unfortunate truth people don't want to accept is that in monotheism if you are not with the program your eternal life is damned and forfeit. INHERENTLY, that creates a prejudice towards others that are not of the same faith. how can there EVER be peace?

Answer 6

The UN established the sate of Israel, the British sold that land to the UN for that purpose.....There are many Muslims that live in Israel, and get along fine with the Jews........it is the Hamas that are trying to kill all Israelis, not the Muslims.....There are also many Christians living there....so that rebukes your argument, and makes it moot

Answer 7

Every Jew I see on TV from Israel appears to be of Eastern European descent. This leads me to believe its same ol same ol... White man trying to move into an area and exploit.. Its the same deal as what they did to the N American Indian, the Aborigines down in the South Pacific, WHen they went into INDIA, and China.. The list go's on and on.. On this Israel thing they wrote a book and hailed it as a fact... Religion and the existence of Jesus is debatable!

Answer 8

It isn't and never was! Have you heard of the Christian Quarter? It is the actual place where Jesus was! EVEN THE JEWS acknowledge the history of Jesus's walk there.... MORE PROOF THE BIBLE IS IS IS HISTORICAL TRUTH! (muslim's used to live there more prominently too) YOU deserve some truth today!

Answer 9

Jews at the instant are not meant to impose their faith. it somewhat is forbidden to us. even nevertheless, there are diverse ranges, and diverse techniques of what which means. some think of it somewhat is okay in the event that they attempt to make people who're Jews already to be greater non secular. Others think of no count number if that's ok in the event that they rigidity some issues like shutting down for the Sabbath, as long as no one is asked to develop into Jewish themselves. This includes a production unit that would hire gentiles, or a value internet site that doesn't acquire lots interest besides yet nonetheless that may no longer the element. Regardless, they're usually solid approximately no longer asking everyone to develop into Jewish themselves. Israel helps any citizen to run for place of work, given some standards that are modern in any democracy, alongside with age and no previous criminal interest. faith isn't something that they legally evaluate. consequently, it somewhat is legally conceivable to % an all non-Jewish Knesset; nevertheless, almost no longer plausible. Muslims, Christians, and Druze have representation in Israel's Knesset. generally, the vacations don't get national time without work, for minority religions in Israel. even nevertheless, they're generally respected. i could think of particular colleges in Arabic speaking areas ought to close down for Muslim holidays, and for particular ones Christian holidays. in case you ask for a time without work, you will desire to get it. think of approximately it a similar way Yom Kippur (modern occasion) is taken care of in different worldwide places... you get the time without work, non-Jews do no longer, even nevertheless it is not that assured. The Rabbis desirous to restrict Christmas timber unquestionably ought to consult with something that befell in united statesa.. In Seattle (or someplace on the west coast), they indignant a team of Rabbis, so as that they petitioned their removing. i think of they won. In Israel, they permit Christians to have Christmas timber. Like I mentioned, they do no longer intrude with yet another's faith, or they at the instant are not meant to. Israel must be the Jewish united states of america, yet everyone, Jew or no longer, can discover their riches or stay a relaxing or wealthy life there.

Answer 10

It's called "Israel." There are Muslim members of the government, there. 20% of the people in Israel are not Jewish.

Israel is just as legitimate as any Muslim state in the ME - they are all post WWI creations.
