A true secular state is a state which completely separates religion and government. It prevents anyone from using religion to gain power, or form religious parties. It is a place where religion is used by individuals only for spiritual relief. It is a place where you will never be asked about what religion you follow. It is a place where everyone is equal, and has the same opportunity as everyone else regardless of race, religion, gender, color, culture and origin. It is a place where people work together for the good of all, and not worry about petty squabbles and religious or cultural differences. This, in my opinion, is true secularism. Sadly, very few countries were able to achieve this status, and as I said, it cannot be done with international supervision and a sincere willingness by all sides.
Why are they more important? On one side there were people who got persecuted and were looking for a place to go to to be safe. On the other side, there were people, who did not want to give up their country. The partition plan was a compromise. Obviously it has, because it made this area the first choice when looking for a land for Jewish people. The Jewish claim to this land is much bigger than the one of the English, because Jewish people actually lived there.
The US is considered an immigration country by Jewish people, it is not considered to be a place for creating an own country.
Reference The Cow 2: 65 ---Be ye apes despised and hated! The Table Spread 5: 60 --- Worse is he of whose sort Allah hath turned some to apes and swine! The Heights 7: 166 --- We said into them: Be ye apes despised and loathed!
well, its brought up whenever people say that Arabs and Muslims were always bad with Jews, which isnt true... the fact of Arabs and Muslims not likeing jews started in the 1900's
you do realize that if you exchange the words Jew and Israel with Arab and Muslim, it would also sound equal... right?? since Arabs have fatehrs, mothers and grand parents whom died their as well, probably more than jews dying their., as well as Archeological artifacts, probably more than jewish ones, and i thought we have settles the issue of Israel being the immemorial land, since it has 1,000 years of history of non-jewish Canaanit civilization, untill the Jews escaped Egypt, and fled their... so if the jews want t og anywhere, it should be Egypt, and your more than welcome to immigrate to Egypt, ALL of the 14 million jews... we wont mind, since we are already 80 million
Except that Egypt is a dirthole. the Jews have a perfect nation to live in, strong both military and economy wise. Why give up that for 2nd rate status like the Copt's?
Very nice come back............. but the Egyptians of today are not the descendents of the Pharaohs... They are the descendents of the Arab conquest of the seventh century. You sir have not settled any issue so far... What you have been doing is brag about your Arab background. I will not belittle it, but you have a funny way of doing it.

<<< Mod Edit: Insult Removed >>> I never said that Jews are evil, I said that Israel was. There's a difference. Anti-Israel does not equal Anti-Semite. Now, I would like you to justify the 2006 Lebanon War to me, and show me how it saved lives in the end. Go.
First of all, Egypt it is not a dirthole. Furthermore, he wealthiest family in Egypt is Copt. They made the Forbes list. There is a huge divide of opinion between the Copts actually living in Egypt and the ones living outside the country.
Well although I do not thing that moving Jews to Egypt will solve any problem, I do agree that it is a wonderful country. We bought a 2 room apartment in Giza and we go there all the time. I personally love to visit the coptic area (old cairo) as I believe its the best place in Egypt. People are so freindly there.
So, I presume you speak as an 'authority' and of course you know the definition of EVIL. Well I have very good news for you... Israel is the mother country of the Jews! ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM FACTS 1. ISRAEL BECAME A STATE IN 1312 B.C., TWO MILLENNIA BEFORE ISLAM; 2. ARAB REFUGEES FROM ISRAEL BEGAN CALLING THEMSELVES "PALESTINIANS" IN 1967, TWO DECADES AFTER (MODERN) ISRAELI STATEHOOD; 3. AFTER CONQUERING THE LAND IN 1272 B.C., JEWS RULED IT FOR A THOUSAND YEARS AND MAINTAINED A CONTINUOUS PRESENCE THERE FOR 3,300 YEARS; 4. THE ONLY ARAB RULE FOLLOWING CONQUEST IN 633 B.C. LASTED JUST 22 YEARS; 5. FOR OVER 3,300 YEARS, JERUSALEM WAS THE JEWISH CAPITAL. IT WAS NEVER THE CAPITAL OF ANY ARAB OR MUSLIM ENTITY. EVEN UNDER JORDANIAN RULE, (EAST) JERUSALEM WAS NOT MADE THE CAPITAL, AND NO ARAB LEADER CAME TO VISIT IT; 6. JERUSALEM IS MENTIONED OVER 700 TIMES IN THE BIBLE, BUT NOT ONCE IS IT MENTIONED IN THE QUR'AN; 7. KING DAVID FOUNDED JERUSALEM; MOHAMMED NEVER SET FOOT IN IT; 8. JEWS PRAY FACING JERUSALEM; MUSLIMS FACE MECCA. IF THEY ARE BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES, MUSLIMS PRAY FACING MECCA, WITH THEIR BACKS TO JERUSALEM; 9. IN 1948, ARAB LEADERS URGED THEIR PEOPLE TO LEAVE, PROMISING TO CLEANSE THE LAND OF JEWISH PRESENCE. 68% OF THEM FLED WITHOUT EVER SETTING EYES ON AN ISRAELI SOLDIER; 10. VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE JEWISH POPULATION OF MUSLIM COUNTRIES HAD TO FLEE AS THE RESULT OF VIOLENCE AND POGROMS; 11. SOME 630,000 ARABS LEFT ISRAEL IN 1948, WHILE CLOSE TO A MILLION JEWS WERE FORCED TO LEAVE THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES; 12. IN SPITE OF THE VAST TERRITORIES AT THEIR DISPOSAL, ARAB REFUGEES WERE DELIBERATELY PREVENTED FROM ASSIMILATING INTO THEIR HOST COUNTRIES. OF 100 MILLION REFUGEES FOLLOWING WORLD WAR 2, THEY ARE THE ONLY GROUP TO HAVE NEVER INTEGRATED WITH THEIR CORELIGIONISTS. MOST OF THE JEWISH REFUGEES FROM EUROPE AND ARAB LANDS WERE SETTLED IN ISRAEL, A COUNTRY NO LARGER THAN NEW JERSEY; 13. THERE ARE 22 MUSLIM COUNTRIES, NOT COUNTING PALESTINE. THERE IS ONLY ONE JEWISH STATE. ARABS STARTED ALL FIVE WARS AGAINST ISRAEL, AND LOST EVERY ONE OF THEM; 14. FATAH AND HAMAS CONSTITUTIONS STILL CALL FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL.... ISRAEL CEDED MOST OF THE WEST BANK AND ALL OF GAZA TO THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY, AND EVEN PROVIDED IT WITH ARMS; WERE OFF LIMITS TO JEWS. UNDER ISRAELI RULE, ALL MUSLIM AND CHRISTIAN 15. DURING THE JORDANIAN OCCUPATION, JEWISH HOLY SITES WERE VANDALIZED AND HOLY SITES ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL FAITHS;
I meant Pharaonic... You know that but of course you prefer to be argumentative instead... I have a good one for you... since you have already desiccated the Israeli question, why don't you start with Egypt now... Go back in history and make an investigative report on this country... I promise to help you in case you falter or blunder as usual .
Maybe it would be most a propos to attract a thousand Jews to your ARABIAN state to replace the 900/1000 decapitated by your pedophile Mohammad... the blood of the Jewish tribes of Al Nadhir, Qurayza and Khaybar are shouting for redress and short of that JUSTICE!!!!
I couldn't care less if Israel was the mother country of the Mormons. It changes nothing. As to the definition of "evil," it is "One who takes actions to intentionally cause negative consequences for others." WHOOP DE (*)(*)(*)(*)ING DOO I DON'T CARE Please justify the 2006 Lebanon war. Show how it eliminated Hezbollah as a major threat ans saved Israeli and Lebanese lives. I dare you.
the war failed. Justify? It was more then justified. You cannot expect a nation to sit idle when shelled by missiles and when it soldiers get attacked in cross border raids. If lebanon did not want the war they should have removed Hizbollah's military arm. they did not. Even the arab world mass condemned Hizbollah for Starting the war.
The Lebanon war was justified by the Hizbalshaitan lobbing missiles on Northern Israel and the penetration of Hizb killing Israeli soldiers... two of the five Israeli soldiers that were alive were taken prisoners and summarily executed a few moments later while the Israeli military camera was on. I am happy Beirut has been rebuilt with hundred of skyscrapers I was impressed with the beautiful sight... Imagine Beirut turned to rubble for the second time and the Hizbalshaitan Napalmed to oblivion... This is I surmise what is going to happen when they start again. You sir, are not a visionary since you do not see farther than your nose.
Hezbollah is at fault as well, but the Israeli response was simply out of control and irresponsible, even according to their own (*)(*)(*)(*) commanders. I could even see my way to accepting a justification of the land invasion, but shelling and dropping cluster bombs on civilians? Israel has succeeded in creating a strong and relevant Hezbollah, with widespread support in Lebanon, strong enough that the Lebanese government and UNMIL will never be able to disarm them...
