Why do all Arabs hate Israel?

Heck, they're all related! They both claim to be descendants of Abraham.

I realize that, they're to damn stupid to realize it though. If you look Christianity, Judaism, and Islam aren't that far apart, its the nuts that decide to make the people that far apart.:confused: I don't get it, but I'm to the point that I just want my country, my countrymen, and myself to be safe. If they are going to come here to hurt us, then the people responsible will be found and removed. Uptight Ex-Military Republican married to a Commie Lib - How weird is that?

Not that I'm adding much, but actually there are Israeli Arabs (they were born there). These guys cannot hate themselves. Maybe you should ask if they hate the non-arab Israelis.

In this situation the details are somewhat unimportant. We have two groups of people who both take their respective religions VERY seriously. Both seem to think God has directed them to live in the EXACT same location. The details are irrelevent, the problem lies in the overall concept. Mike Mullikin :beer:

I've been curious about this too, and the history of the middle east. Found this[^] page earlier today. I dont know how biased it is, but it shows alot of reasons why there's resentment between the two peoples.

The first thing to understand about this I think is that the conflict goes back so many generations that it's now impossible to try to say who was originally to blame. Obviously both sides have so many incidents they can quote against each other now, that it's very hard for them to "look outside the box" and be rational on this subject. Firstly, it's very sad that they can't get on. They are closely related. With regards to today's conflict, as far as I can tell muslims all round the world take the Arab side - even those from far off places like Bangladesh who don't have a drop of Arab blood in their bodies. The biblical wars and history on the issue go a long way back, and I am no scholar on the issue. However, they hated each other then as well. I am no scholar on the next phase either, but have read quite a bit about it. Surprisingly, Mohammed thought the Jews were a race to which his people should aspire. In fact, he invited them to come and live with the arabs, teach them their skills, medicine, etc. Sadly, when Mohammed died, as is so often the case, his word got twisted. His followers starting to persecute the Jews, saying they were now God's chosen people, and the Jews were now cursed. This is not unique in history, except that this time the Jews' religion had been incorporated into another community. The Jews left, and the hatred between Jews and Muslims was born. Around the 1880's Jews started an attempt to rebuild their homeland. Pilgrimages unlike anything we can imagine took place. Some of them spent 2 years walking from Russia to Isreal. Again, they took with them skills which were valuable. It's important to remember that because of their religion all Jewish males at least were educated. They had to be to read their scriptures. When they arrived in Palestine they found a land which alternated between swamp and desert. The people living there lived in relatively primative conditions, and welcomed the Jews in return for education and things like running water systems. Between this time and WW2 this continued, but relations started turning sour. The Jews bought desert and swamp, and turned it into arable land through pure hard labour. As far as I know, up until WW2 any land in the newfound country had been purchased (my reading of the events has been far more sparse from WW2 onwards, so I can't really comment on that). Once the land had been turned into high production farms the original owners felt they had been tricked. This lead to more hatred. When WW2 ended many J

How is it that there are Palestinian refugees 50 years on in a land that is so dominated by a religion of 'love and peace'. Refugees displaced in almost every other conflict have not been left to sit and rot for 50 years. The Palestinians have been used as a whipping post by the rest of the Arab world for years. Bushs statement that he would no longer deal with Arafat is probably the biggest step forward. Until the Palestinian death cult mentality is changed there will be no peace there.

I always heard that the '67 war was defensive for Israel. Egypt and Syria were building up and preparing to invade Israel so they launched a pre-emptive attack.

Do you have to be a jew to have representation in their government?
