Thread Name: BS: Who came first, the Arab or the Jew?
Subject: RE: BS: Who came first, the Arab or the Jew?
Old Guy, the Muslims don't technically want to "wipe out" all Jews...they want to get rid of the political state of Israel....its government, its military, its structures of power. There's a difference between that and wiping out all Jews. All Jews do not live in Israel, number one, and you don't have to kill every single Israeli Jew in order to bring down the government of Israel. If the Muslims wanted to kill every single Jew that they could get hold of anywhere in the world (as Hitler apparently wanted to do), THEN they would be wanting to "wipe out the Jews".

As it is, they are wanting to bring an end to a political state which came into being in 1948, and which they consider illegitimate. "Regime change", in other words!

"Regime change." Gosh, where have I heard that before? (grin)

Now, I'm not saying that they have any right to wipe out the state of Israel, so don't get me wrong on that. Yes, the Israelis have plenty of cause for concern about this...and so do their neighbours.
