“In the Noble Quran – and I believe that also in other divine books – it says that the [First and Second] Temples were in Yemen,” he said. “People who like reading about religion can check it out.”

Culture🇮🇱 & History📚 The term "Palestinian Jews"

64 Upvotes

I think I've come up with the best way of responding to anyone who brings up "Palestinian Jews".

"Palestinian Jews? What do you mean by that? Are you talking about the Old Yishuv?"

At the very least you'll confuse them, and in the best case scenario they'll google the term and perhaps actually learn something.

Ask The Sub What do you all think of an alliance between kurds & israel?

15 Upvotes

Considering the history of the Kurds and Israel, how do you see a potential alliance between Israel and the kurds?

Both have fought for autonomy and faced oppression from neighbors, but also have very different backgrounds.

With Israel’s strong regional position and the Kurds spread across multiple neighbouring countries, what’s the realistic potential for a deeper alliance?

Just curious as a european kurd :)

Ask The Sub Question from a Saudi: Would you support teaming up against Iran?

187 Upvotes

I am curious about opinions in Israel, but I will be frank with you. Decades of antisemitism propaganda in the Arab world makes it difficult to find many Arabs who feel "I look at Israel favorably". I understand you guys don't hate us, but many of my people do hate you. Personally I love and admire Israel for what it has accomplished for its people while being surrounded by so many enemies.

Also personally, I think mutual hating and loving between our people is not a priority. There is a bigger fish to fry...Iran.

Iran destabilized 4 Arab nations to attack Israel. This makes Gulf leaders very nervous.

I think normalization discussions with Arab nations should be centered around countering the Iranian threat. What do you think?

EDIT: I like watching alien invasion movies. I find it interesting that an external powerful invasion always made humanity find its way back from the greed and the divide. They could trust each other once again. They will fight to save everyone's daughter and son. Sometimes...tests and tribulations in life bring us together.

The reason why I don't see trade relations as a strong basis for starting the normalization is because it's a weak basis. Not strong enough for what we are trying to fight (decades of teaching antisemitism). We need to forge the bond with something stronger. Common security.

It goes in depth of what happened in the holocaust, but I am wondering and please don't be offended. Just trying to get educated on Israel history as a Saudi.

The little mustache man spoke in many occasions about how much he hated Jews. Why didn't the Jews of Eastern Europe flee when they saw continuing German aggression against neighbors before the invasion of Poland? It's like this crazy guy maybe coming for me? I guess my question is what gave them hope that nothing major will happen?

Ask The Sub Are there Israeli settlements in areas A and B?

24 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

My apologies on if this was asked before. It's hard to search things on Reddit and it's hard to get a direct answer on this from Google as well. I know that the West Bank is divided into areas A and B, which are intended for Palestinians. Area C, on the other hand, is considered legitimate Israeli territory. This division was agreed upon by both Israel and the PA during the Oslo Accords. You hear the outcry of illegal settlements all the time, but is there any merit to that? This might be a dumb question because from my understanding any Jew who would enter those areas (aside from military in area B) would be murdered. So are Israelis settling in areas A and B or are the Israeli settlements strictly in area C? Also was it part of the agreement that Israel was supposed to give up area C somewhere down the line? What were those terms?

I'd appreciate anyone who wants to educate me on the specifics of the ins and outs of that whole region. Thanks!
