Thanks god that there is a Jewish state in the Middle East, otherwise God knows what would happen in this region under the absolute rule of Muslims!

I don't know if I should laugh or cry from that nonsense. |
Maybe defeat that with proper academic effort?.. laughing or crying only confirms the statement.

Hello Cyrus
Here is the thing, the last time an Arab dynasty ruled over Iran, part of it actually, were the fully Persianfied Muzzaffarid 700 years ago. Before that the last vestiges of Arab rule ended about 400 years before that. Just as the Arabs came they went and THEY DIDN'T ethnically cleanse Persia of either its language or its people or even its religion (Zoroastrians were wiped out by the various "native" persian dynasties as well as mongols and lastly the Safavids).
By the way, Islam is a religion not an ethnicity, you can't put it anywhere, if people peacefully wanted to become muslims, like the majority of Arab tribes of Yemen, Najd, Bahrain and the levant, and they came and declared themselves muslims which is what happened in the year 9 AH (630-631 AD), I will not refuse them and will be glad to add them to my state.
Zionism is exactly the opposite of what I mentioned above.

What is the question in this thread? "Where would you create Israel and and why?" Please notice that you are talking about a country and people who live there, what are replies? for example:

"The Levant" is a good compromise |
No it is not. Palestine is Palestine. Calling it by any other name legitimises Zionist colonisation and ethnic cleansing.

"The Levant" is a good compromise, and has a long history in English usage as well. It's a little less precise than Canaan or Palestine, though - Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon fall into the scope of the term. But I use it sometimes anyway, as a neutral term for Palestine.

As a matter of fact rather than rhetoric, in approximately 1963 I tried to get our Israeli stringer to take a photographer and do a story about the Samaritans. He pointed out that he couldn't because it was over the then sealed border between Israel and Jordan[1]. So I had instead to find a photographer and a writer to go up there from Amman.
Whatever the situation recently, historically the Samaritans did not live in Israel.
[1] At that time the West Bank was still annexed to Jordan.

how can you call the 3000 years natives "palestinians" ,this is Inventing pseudo-historical theories and only recently.
|
Because they live in Palestine. Palestine is the English name for the area, has been so for at least as long as modern English has existed, and the language we're supposed to talk here is English.
individuals can't claim for the right of self determination, even after living there for centuries.
|
Of course they can. What they have to recognise though is the rule of law and the need for the majority to prevail, given certain constraints.
by this logic most of the planet should be Jewish state.
|
Nonsense. Only in Israel do Jews have a majority of any area.

with a population of hundreds every life is that much more crucial for them, times out that death by a multiple of the Israeli population to see the effect. But the point was; - Samaritans are not simply a type of Jew
- ..are in danger of IDF-Settlement activity
- don't want to take sides
- can live amongst Palestinians in peace
- ...and again while they exist; they render Zionist claims to the area, a non-unique - special historical right, or without precedence.
the other story was to remind the readers that Palestinian society was one where all religions had lived together. Christians have also been victims to Israel aggression, like the samaritans, purely because they live on the wrong side of the settlement wall.

when a Palestinian state would erect and all (or most) settelments will
dismental ,probably they also will join the larger community near Tel
Aviv . |
Why are they building new ones and increasingly expanding existing ones?

The difference between IDF "mistakes" and the mistakes of other armies, most armies, is those armies at least investigate and give an apology or even send people to trial and then to prison, tell me Hebrew, when was the last time there was a trial for any of the IDF member? Remember Rachel Corrie who was bulldozed in front of journalists from all over the world?
