Why is the world basically doing nothing about Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians? Why are there no sanctions, and yet still unconditional support?

Question

I’ve known Palestinians in school and literally every single one of them could independently verify, “yeah the criticisms of Israel are legitimate”.

And the guys I talked to weren’t even radicals or anything either. They were just normal everyday people.

But if you so much as speak against Israel’s actions nowadays, you get called an anti-semitic.

Anyway, if jewish people wanted to establish their own state that would’ve been fine with me, but when they feel entitled to outside help, that’s when it begins to piss me off.

Also I know its because of Hitler but its not like they didn’t get any help before. It would’ve been literally impossible for Jewish people to stop Hitler on their own. Millions of non-jewish died in defense of jewish people. Many more helped jewish refugees.

So as I was saying, western governments fixed the problem, therefore we didn’t owe them a thing.

Especially when it also comes to the detriment of ourselves. I mean, is it any wonder why the US has to worry about terrorism?

Fact of the matter is, what’s happening to Palestinians is still ongoing.

And yet nobody seems to be doing anything about it. No sanctions. No freezing of foreign assets. Virtually no condemnations. And continued unconditional funding and support.

I mean at the very least, we should’ve banned arms sales to Israel.

They could’ve just as easily done what Mormons did in the United States by just all agreeing among themselves to just settle in one unoccupied space.

But the fact of the matter is, they felt it was their divine right to fulfill some sort of Torah prophecy by force.

Zionism existed before WW2, but WW2 was the perfect cover excuse for Zionism.

And has been shown, by and large the people of Israel could care less about the plight of those around them.

Either way I’m just surprised western governments refuse to talk about it, or do anything about it.

No wonder Middle-Easterners hate us. Because we meddle in their lands.

Britain signed the Balfour Declaration in 1917, way before Hitler. The Rothschilds and their minions had their sights set on Palestine as early as the 1800s. And they planned to use Talmudic adherents in eastern Europe to populate it.

They never, for one minute, intended to adhere to the conditions of the Balfour Declaration or UN agreement. They not only intended to cleans all of Palestine of its indigenous population, but had plans for a "Greater Israel" (the Yinon Plan) to extend from the Nile to the Euphrates.

Before Zionist terrorists began arriving in Palestine in the early 20th century, Muslims, Christians and Jews lived in harmony, side by side as neighbors. There were Mosques, Churches and Synagogues. Palestine was a peaceful, bucolic, agrarian place known as the Holy Land, where people from around the world came to visit.

But the colonists didn't come there to live in peace. They came to steal, terrorize, murder, ethnically cleanse, and establish an apartheid-style, theocratic (not democratic) state.

Even historic Christian sites and communities are under attack. And indigenous Jews who had lived there in peace for hundreds of years are disdained by the ethnocentric European invaders.

Lots of people and organizations oppose Israel. But there is a long history of Zionist control over the global banking system and western governments.
By 1815, Nathan Mayer Rothschild controlled the Bank of England.
In 1832, James Mayer de Rothschild, head of the Rothschild banking family of France (Banque Rothschild), became the official Papal banker.
Ever since Woodrow Wilson, Zionists have controlled the U. S. government. A president can't get elected without support from the Zionists.
Shall we talk about the first and second "Banks of the United States" and the Federal Reserve?

Israel is also a geostrategic place for U. S. and western imperialism and the theft of Middle Eastern, North African, and western Asian resources.

Those are just a couple of highlights. There is much, much more.

So, with that much wealth and power it's not surprising that governments declare unwavering support for Israel, even at the cost of their own countries and citizens.

I'll conclude by saying that Jews never needed their own "homeland". Before the post-WWII propaganda campaign, the majority of Jews were happy where they were, opposed Zionism and the establishment of Israel, and certainly did not want to move to Palestine. Many Jews, including Orthodox Jews, are still opposed to Israel.

The targeting of Jews (and many, many others) by the Nazis was a blip in time. Western European and even German Jews wanted to return to their homes. And once the war was over, there was no reason for Jews to need their own homeland, especially in someone else's homeland. Why should a Jew in England or America be loyal to Israel rather than their own country? That would be like an America person with Japanese, German, Russian or Chinese ancestry being more loyal to those countries than to America.

Why are our elected officials allowed to have dual Israeli and U. S. citizenship? That is not allowed for any other nationality.

The history of the human race is a history of wars and death fighting over territory, and for the vast majority of history, the rule has been simple: the side with the most power won, took what they wanted, and killed whatever was left.

Having won WWII, and having seen the horrors of the Holocaust, the world leaders finally agreed that Israel was to belong to the Jews and would be its own country. Yes, this displaced many Palestinians, but that's ALWAYS the result of war, and many millions of other people, who weren't killed or maimed for life, were also displaced after WWII and had to start over. That's what happens with war.

But what happened after that? At least 5 times, various Islamic forces surrounding Israel attacked and invaded with the openly-stated goal of killing them all and re-taking the country. Israel didn't invade other countries - they were attacked with annihilation as the goal. The Palestinians participated in all of these brief wars. And when you start a war, and you lose, one VERY COMMON result is that you lose territory.

Instead of accepting these losses, the Palestinians initiated a war of terror against Israel for decades - one that continues to this day. And Israel has fought back - perhaps crossing the line from time to time as inevitably happens in any protracted war - but this war was started by the Palestinians (with others), especially the terrorism. The PLO's actions essentially eroded all sympathy for the Palestinians. That's what happens when you intentionally target civilians rather than the military - in fact, if you do that and you don't get exterminated completely, you should count yourselves as lucky, because that's actually the most common response historically.

I understand that the Palestinians did not like the results of the post-WWII creation of Israel, but, frankly, they needed to accept it and move on 60 years ago. Whatever they are suffering today is a result of not accepting that result - and in fact, escalating the conflict again and again. They brought this on themselves, and that's both unfortunate and sad, but it's the truth. And it's why the west isn't going to stop it - only the Palestinians can stop it now, by suing for peace and accepting terms.

I think both Jews and Muslims want to live in Palestine and one has to sacrifice their desire to make the other happy, so I don’t view either one as the villain because both equally expect the other group to sacrifice what they themselves do not.

Well, half the world recognizes Palestine, but you're right that they're mostly all talk, but they aren't stupid. Israel has some very powerful allies and no country wants to get itself into a war over a territorial/ethnic dispute that doesn't effect them. Also, there are still many countries that don't officially recognize Israel and they DO have sanctions against them, but they are pretty much meaningless as Israel has many strong allies in the West.

Now, if you're asking why Israel's allies are Israel's allies, then that's a far more complicated issue.

But at the same time, the world has had enough of Palestine and their terrorists, and even most Muslim countries no longer support them in practice. The only allies they truly have left are American Liberals. Most of the world has nothing to gain from supporting Palestine and sanctioning Israel, and both Jews and Arabs are pretty disliked around the world, so they figure it's easier to just sit back and let them take out each other.

By the way, you should Google "Palestinian Hitler", that's where the real root of the conflict emerged. You would mistreat people too if they wanted to exterminate your entire race off the face of the earth.

MUSLIMS have always caused problems in the region. And it was PALESTINIAN refugees who gave birth to Hezbollah in Lebanon, created a civil war and turned the most advanced nation in the Arab world, into a Muslim majority hell hole. Any Lebanese person will tell you it was PALESTINIANS who destroyed Lebanon, because of course as their numbers started growing, they didn't extend the same rights to the Christians that the Christians had extended to them as they always do.

So FUCK Palestinians!

What exactly are you talking about? The Palestinians have been a hostile people to Israel. Hezbollah has fired their rockets into housing areas. Hamas blows themselves up on buses and in night clubs. They don’t attack military targets but civilian ones. They then use human shields when the Israelis respond. All they while they or at least their organizations (Hamas, PLO, Hezbollah) wage war and when Israel responds they’re urged to use restraint and the world wags its finger at Israel.

I’m not sure what’s going on at present but given the past it’s difficult for me to feel sympathy for them. How would you deal with continuous and unprovoked attacks on your people?

Israel is Jews Ancestral Homeland, also don't believe Islamic Lies, Israel is too nice in fact.

OddBeMe · Answer

Christian Zionists. American Christians believe Jews must be in Israel for the end times to occur. It’s scary and stupid that our foreign policy is based off a cult wanting to end the world so the magic sky man will appear.

DarkLegacy · Answer

It is because they are the Yanks ally and they won't allow anyone to sanction or condemn any of their allies. The world is scared to stand up to the bully dictators.

Is there another Holy Land to which they can move? Haven't the Jews been in Israel since a LONG time ago?
