Are there Jewish people who think it's wrong to occupy present-day Israel? The existence of present-day Israel is at the core of the world's fears today. It affects EVERYONE and is threatening to put all nations, even those who are not directly involved in this quarrel. Why did Israel have to be a Jewish state instead of a multi-faith, multi-cultural territory where Jews and Muslims can live side by side on a land they consider Holy? Why can't the Jews simply share that land with Muslims and vise-versa under a Jewish-Islamic government for the sake of the safety of all this world instead of provoking all involved states to build up nuclear weapons as a means of defense and retaliation? Surely there are Jewish people who don't assert their sole ownership of that territory, why do we not hear them speak up?

They tried. In 1947 the Arabs attacked them, again in 1967 and 1973. The Jews were prepared for a multi faith state when Israel was established in 1919. It was the Holocaust that knocked that idea into a cocked hat. The Jews had to get out of Europe. They had to go somewhere. The western nations put a limit on Jewish immigration. Ring any bells?

Nope. It's right.
If you think that the Jews are evil people who "pushed out" the Palestinians, consider this: the Sephardic Jews of North Africa and the Middle East (who now make up a significant part of Israel's population) were driven out of their Arab-majority, Muslim Rule-Only nations, either literally or because life was made so intolerable for them by their Muslim neighbors... a good thing that there was a state of Israel ready and able to take them in, hmm?
No one who ever claims that the Palestinians were displaced ever brings up the displacement of a large segment of the Jewish populace by Arabic peoples in North Africa and the Middle East...
And if it comes down to force, Israel will prevail. Even without the U.S. as an ally it could, and WITH the U.S., well, you do the math...

Jews think that the Arabs occupying the Land of Israel are indeed wrong and ought not to be there.
The Arabs have 22 countries. The Muslims have over 60 countries. But the single tiny Jewish State is one too many for the Islamo-Fascists.
The reason for the conflict between Israel and the Arabs is that the Arabs, plain and simple, refuse to accept a Jewish state in their midst. They invented this whole idea of a "Palestinian people who deserve a state" just to use as a tool to dismember Israel.

there are many jews who are not Zionists, if you seek you shall find.
The muslims would not want to live with the Jews which is why the Israelis have such a strong army to protect themselves.
Look at any country with a large muslim population and see how they treat the other religions.
Israel has not provoked any arab country into having nuclear weapons. Arabs countries need to stop blaming everything on the jews.
What about Sudan? why do no muslims talk about Sudan? What about all the killing there. Is this such a fashionable topic?
