  • What makes it “false” is that it deliberately leaves out multiple other factors that do not fit your narrative of “Israel = evil Jewish colonizers from Europe” and “Palestinians = poor victims being oppressed”.

    Directly neighbouring Arab and Muslim countries and areas exiled, killed and drove out Jews amounting to more than 850 thousand who went to Israel.

    That the people who we call Palestinians today in the area denied the two-state solution at that time because they did not want Israel to exist. They wanted to rather have war instead of getting their own state and share the land.

    The animosity and multiple wars that were started against Israel for purely religious and ideologic reasons from the other side as well. The religious zealots aren’t only on Israel’s side.

    There are numerous countries that came into existence by wars and in a similar way as Israel. It’s even less of an issue here because it’s not even a part of a country which declared independence, there wasn’t even a country in the first place!

    Israel did not come into existence just because of Zionism. About half of the Jews in Israel are Mizrahim who are native to the area. They had an inferior status in the Islamic society. By your own logic it is understandable that they ultimately pushed back and declared independence after being treated as second class people for generations.
















  • In Europe there are more Muslim refugees though, than, for example, in North America which gets more regular Muslim immigrants.

    It’s a specific problem in Europe with an influx of refugees from war torn and poor countries who are often troubled, more extreme in their religion and potentially less educated (because they fled from shitty countries).

    I guess it’s more connected to those circumstances than with Islam in itself. Statistically, more educated and better off people are less religious. I suspect that’s the same with Muslims?!
