Tweet^Maybe the expert thought it was such a ludicrous statement he didn't have to respond. Are we counting provocation?
It would be worth knowing if these two historians would blame Iran for starting a war with Israel; considering Iran's leaders are constantly using rhetoric that implies they will use nuclear weapons against Israel, all the while building nuclear weapons.
I don't see any measures Israel may take from preventing this - as starting a war. They are completely justified.
Of course many predominantly Muslim countries have very strong rhetoric and maybe they have devalued their words so much they don't think they have much meaning - of course Israel cannot take the luxury of finding out.
Their Pis$ed because of the British Mandate that gave "Palestine" to Israel and Jordan? If it was Iranian land why was it under British control. Because it wasn't. Middle Easterners look for excuses to be pissed. Many Arab-Palestinians act like a bunch of kindergarteners. Of course the mainstream media encourages it by implying Palestinians are victims by the creation of the Jewish State. Jews got Israel. Arabs got Jordan, i.e. Jordan is "Palestine". They need to move the phuck on.
The mainstream media is extremely biased when it comes to Arab-Palestinians.
Ask any sympathizer with Palestinians why they need another Palestine - they have Jordan which is like 3x bigger than Israel. See, what these Palestinian sympathizers don't' understand is that they are being manipulated into supporting the destruction of Israel. Arab-Palestinians do not want another "Palestine" (why don't they bomb Jordanians), they want part of Israel. Their goal is to defeat Israel bit by bit because they can't defeat them militarily.
What do they show you on the news? The big bad Israeli tank and the teeny tiny Palestinian boy throwing rocks at it. Once the premise is questioned why has the boy been raised to hate Israeli's - it shows the true nature of the conflict. It would be interesting to see what would happen if the roles were reversed; a Jewish or American boy throwing rocks at Hamas (any other militant pro-Palestinian group) - I wonder what would happen (assuming they didn't know they were being filmed - they are very conscientious of public relations).
