Clearly, we must all return to Africa. That's the only way to permanently solve this problem.

Seriously, though, I'm more on Aillyria's side here. Israel has a right to exist, but not at the expense of another nation, and not as an aggressive religious ethno-state.

Nice strawman. The Arabs claim lands that aren't even there but like to lecture the West about colonialism. I see some "mild" hypocrisy there.

Nice strawman.

More like standing up to North Korean agression, and supporting our allies and recognizing their legal capitals.

Daily reminder that Israel has never fought a war on the same side as the United States and is not technically allied with the United States.

Ah, single issue voter.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

The same nation that has made great strives to accommodate its Arabic and Muslim citizens, that has repeatedly tried to come to some sort of arrangement with Palestine and that literally allows anti-Zionist Islamic parties to participate in the Israeli Knesset despite many of them being opposed to the very existence of Israel as a nation.

Wow, what a bunch of evil genocidal mass-murderers.


The only acceptable "arrangement" is for the Jews to hand over all land they stole from the Palestinians in 1947.

The only acceptable "arrangement" is for the Muslims to hand over all land they stole from the Levantines, Mesopotamians, Persians, North Africans, Transoxanians, Sindhi and Caucasians.

Yes, make the holy city of 3 religions the capitol of a genocidal zionist "nation" that exists on land stolen from the natives within living memory.


It wasn't stolen, it was conquered.

Russia's relationship with Iran is overrated in the media.

China hates them all.

The Americans are the most Muslim-friendly major nation on the planet. Apart from Germany.



So wait.

World vs. Islam?

I have a good guess as to who would win?



???

Canada has the world's third largest oil reserves and the lowest rate of extraction. They alone can fund a war.

Besides, Russia would be on 'our' side, so there's them, and Venezuela.


You don't understand Realpolitik do you?
Realpolitik means Russia would love to take advantage of this.
As would China. Whether they like the Muslims or not is irrelevant, this is a golden opportunity for them.

You do know that Israel has a good relationship with both china and Russia right?

I support this action and it is a recognition of the situation on the ground. I don't see the Kingdom of Jordan or any Arab nation occupying any portion of Jerusalem, it is clearly under the control of the IDF and the state of Israel's police forces.

There isn't one but you have found another one that feels that way. The way they use the Holocaust to constantly remind the West that they need even more support, irritates the shit out of me. Affairs where they used Western passports to stage attacks ? Same story. But it's the bloody we have in that part of the world.

As for the Arabs: they have made it quite clear that they want us all either converted, enslaved, dead and buried. So I don't see why some Leftie idiots support them ? None of the lands it concerns belong to the Arabs. They are effectively colonies as nothing beyond the Arab peninsula is actually Arab or Islamic land.

Okay this is utter shit. China yes, but Russia does not. About 6% of Russians are Muslims, and they experience the same rights and liberties as other Russians. Ever heard of Chechnya? Like 97% Muslim and it's extremely loyal to Russia.

A 50/50 split is not reasonable when you're more than 50% of the population.
