In all proper seriousness...?

Question

Why are there Arabs in here?
I mean, not in a bad way. Come if you have something valid or important to talk about, but if you are only here to incite argument and insults, why are you here? We don't sully your Egypt, Saudi Arabia, or Lebanon with claims of terrorism, and etc.
All these people do is come here and b*tch about Zionism and how Jews murdered Germans during the Holocaust then changed the story and blamed the Palestinians, killed the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny, then drank Jesus' blood, and took "the Palestinians land" and all that BS.

We never intended this part of YA to be this way. Realy, if you don't have anything productive to say, just leave. This never was meant for politics you know.

Come on....my "racism" is only a response to the stupidity of the questions listed here....

Answer 1

UltraN - whether you like it or not, Arabs live in Israel, so I would expect Arabs to be party to discussions about Israel.

As for whether this section should be politics-free, I would agree with you that perhaps 'Israel Travel' and 'Israel Politics' ought to be conducted in separate sections. But for my part, I am happy to talk politics about Israel with anyone who is interested, regardless of their race or creed, and would not want these discussions brought to a premature end.

So EU Citizen, Tabatha, Mimi, Hamarker, HopelessZ00, Michael J, h, MikeInRI, etc. - please stick around!

Answer 2

I'm new to this site and have noticed two things: Firstly, there are some really great discussions going on in Israel forum between Jews, Israelis, Muslims, Christians, Arabs. I never expected this and I happen to think it's rather good.

But secondly, I do understand what the questioner is saying, and Michael J too. I find it really odd that so many non Israel, non Jewish come specifically to Israel page only to insult, offend, and incite anger.

Perhaps everyone should have a pact to only respond to genuine, reasonable posts.

Also, to the yahoo user called Mimi, what you say is wrong. Israel has many 'friends' or allies, such as Turkey, these two countries, the only democracies in the Middle East, have been on good terms for many years.

Also, if you check history, you will see that Russia in fact cast the crucial vote to support Israel being established. So certainly at that time, Russia was a 'friend', if not now, sadly. There are other countries also that are on good terms with Israel.

Answer 3

Do you ever have anything productive to say?
Really I don't mean to insult you but I often read your answers and I don't like them. You always use bad words in them. Even in this question you used bad words. So please be more polite in your words and everybody will respect you.
For those who bother you when they talk about politics, just ignore them. Everybody is free to say whatever they want here and if the section is called Israel it doesn't mean that only the Israelis can use it and notice that it is in the travel category not the politics category.

Eu Citizen is right I am also Arab (palestinain) and I don't say the jews killed the german.



Rabbi Akiva:

exacly that is what I said to you, now can you tell how many friends other than the americans do you have? can you prove I am wrong? but you cut half of my message to you.. when I said all people hate you ha ha ha I meant you as a person.
Where is the first part of the message please show it.
Name someone other than the americans who loves the israelis?
Ask yourself why and you will find the answer in yourslef. It is you and the aciests like you who give a bad idea about judaism and the jews.

and yes I think the US is using you as a tool for the petrol in the middle east as well as it is one reason why most people hate you. Arabs are afraid that the Israelis one day use the weapons the americans provide them to destroy the arabs and the muslims and that is why the Iranians are preparing themselves and the countries around.

Rabbi Akiva:
where was I intolerant. Can you name one thing i said you made you think so?
You are not really good at defending your view. I have never said anything bad about Judaism or the jews and all this section users know that. You also know that but you tend to lie to yourself. All what i said to you is that US is your only friend and i didn't lie. This is not antisemetisim this is truth.
Besides, I gave you my reason for saying that Us use you as a tool. If you have another point you are welcome to say it but all what you are doing , you and Malka D. 2 is offending me.

Red_Sea_Pedestrian:
thank you for responding to me.
If Rabbi Akiva said that to me I wouldn't have said what I said to him. I like it when a person supports their ideas with smart facts. All what Rabbi Akiva is just insulting me and this made me angry at him. I am with you too. I may disagree with a lot of things about what the Israelis do but I never say that Israel doesn't have the right to exist.

Answer 4

no, i'd rather be better than our enemies. israel has over a million arab citizens who are productive members of society and are not remotely involved in terrorism. israel is a free, open, democratic society with rights for all, and so should the israel board. the haters can do what they want elsewhere, i won't sink to their level.

Answer 5

YA is an international website , that has freedom of speech. Simple, and UltraNational come on now, If arabs stopped coming would you not be bored? What would you talk about then? Peace!

Answer 6

There is some truth to what the asker says. It is an odd phenomenon: people unconnected to Israel come on this board to vent their personal political/social feelings. I personally may not be a huge fan of Egypt for example, but I'm not going to go on the Egypt board to tell anyone who asks that Egypt is evil. What I don't understand is why someone who has never been to Israel would come on this board to spread anti-Israel sentiment. To me, that's a very rude thing to do, and something I personally would never do. This of course does not refer to people who ask questions truelly seeking an answer, or come on more for intellectual discourse than propoganda.

Answer 7

Israel section was made to discuss whatever the people of Israel want to discuss. It was placed on the Travel so that if anyone felt like traveling to Israel they can familiarize themselves. It is easier to discuss politics here and Judaism without getting too political or too religious.

I am Jewish, this is why I am in this section. I like contributing to Israel questions and answers.

Answer 8

I've just seen in another page where you called me a 'collaborator'.

By any rational standards, this is an unfair, insulting, and unjustified comment to make, especially to a person who is a stranger, whom you don't know.

All I've tried to do is improve the discussions between the Jews and Muslims in this forum. I really, really don't understand why you have such a massive problem with this.

I have never ONCE condemned Israel.
I have never ONCE endorsed or condoned terrorism.
I have never ONCE spoken with anything but pride about being Jewish.

So before you make your accusations, take a minute and click on my avatar and read ANY of my responses in either the religion section or the politics section and you will see for yourself that ALL I've ever done, on this site, is to TOTALLY DEFEND ISRAEL.

How dare YOU accuse me of doing any less.

You, who have treated so many people with rudeness and disrespect.

If you haven't liked my posts, nobody forced you either to read or respond to them. You are free, in fact you are welcome to just ignore them.

But to call me what you did shows your true colours. And it says far more about you, than it does about me.

Answer 9

there are arabs here because some people want to hear what we have to say, if you don't like it then find some other forum use.

Answer 10

what im arab and i dont say the jews kileld the germans or something, i havent seen any other people say that as much as you make it seem and not everyone who posts in here who isnt a jew or christian is arab.

Da man and hopeless for example are not arab i think da man is pakistani and hopeless is white.

Maybe as a gesture of kindness you could not make obviously ignorant comments like islam is genocide or something like that.
