For Muslims... it's a Palestinian issue not for the Govs/Nations...
We are speaking about normalisation... as for EGY and Jordan it's not like they had a choice... it's part of the peace treaty...
Political dialogue failed. and Bibi made his decision already... ONE STATE. and whoever is not happy can get out.
Israel of Yesterday during the wars isn't the ISrael of Today... Yes... they were Tiny in comparison to Arabs... YES they outsmarted us and YES they won... And to this day... No Arab Gov seems to learn from those mistakes...
Yes History is our Witness... and you should read when our Region were under similar situation... YOu should read How they lost to a TINY entity back in the days... YOu should Read how they behaved as we are behaving today... And you should read What happened when they all "JUST" accepted the Latins... for 200 years they made the region their Home... Were they played with each other against each other... Since they were part of the "Region" they had a legitimacy to behave like those around... and you should Read the Dynamic among Muslims... you will surprised that is not only similar but We are even taking the same road/making the same mistakes and so on...
Do not think we are strong, because we've got numbers... You don't win wars/influence with that... and History is and shall be our Witness...
Everyone made mistakes in this Mess... blaming one or the other would change nothing...
But At least... the most basic thing to do is AT LEAST... to not repeat the mistakes of our forefathers EVEN MORE...
So when A Turk or an Arab comes around putting salt here and there on this Israeli matter... I laugh...
Our History is a circle where each gen will have the chance to chose the way of their forefathers or not...
As the Latin get into ME because of the Turks and the TR/Arab conflict... The Israelis also get into ME by the SAME dynamic... And what is even more interesting in this Human History Drama... What started the Latin state "Reconquista" is Right now in motion...
I don't know if I have to laugh or cry... But at this rate... with the lack of "Balls" among our Leaders... I pray that each one of them REPEAT the mistakes of their forefathers... that way we can deal with them....
So in a sense... Even against my hope/will... They need to normalise With ISrael... if they can't grow balls...
Let the motion continue as it was...
Are you sure because the past 15-20 years I have heard nothing but "Islamic", "Muslim world" talk from the mouth of Erdogan and his friends. A few days ago, during their failed meeting in Malaysia, they apparently had found all the solutions for the Muslim world. All I heard was "Muslim this" and "Muslim that".
It is still normalization. They have recognized Israel. They have official diplomatic relations with as Turkey has and Azerbaijan and maybe a few other majority Muslim nations that I have forgot.
You still don't get it.
Are you really comparing some poor Palestinian peasants, farmers, fishermen, peaceful town dwellers with battle-hardened WW2 Zionists with full backing of the richest and most influential lobby in the world (Jewish) even back then? Not withstanding the LITTLE detail of MASSIVE/100% support from the world powers to be to create a Jewish state. How can you forget this somehow?
What did you expect newly independent Arab nations in the region to do back then other than what was already done?
Of course it is the same story again and again. It is an eternal fight for power with ups and downs. However you cannot compare the current day with an era where people fought face to face with swords, bows on horses and camels.
The difference is that when Arabs tried to build the first "Muslim" nuclear bomb (way before Pakistan), our countries were attacked by the world's superpower (USA). When Israel built their nuclear bomb, they received support from the same world powers. So no, there is nothing great about this. Change the sides and you would be calling Israel weak.
Anyway I asked you what your solution was to solve the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and I did not see a concrete solution or reply to my question. I am genuinely curious if you believe that a political dialogue is wrong.
Arabs Used to be glorious Warriors, we despite not be Arabs feel proud to belong to a religion spread by the Mainland Arabia, but today Arabs are not the same as they were before . Not saying they can't beat Iran but if its just KSA vs Iran, i won't put my money on either .
That was in early times when Israel was a new entity in Arabia, thing is later on Israel used US and EU allies to put a leash on Arabs, start Proxies and plunge this region into chaos , when Muslims are fighting with Muslims no one will have time to fight Jews for Palestinian cause .
Well I am a firm Supporter of having diplomatic Ties with Israel, but thing is my Govt won't take that step ..
Look DC has always keep a two way diplomacy with ME, but when it comes to Israel they are clear, no harm can comes to Israel, so basically no one can touch them PERIOD . As long as Uncle sam and EU stand behind them there is no victory against Israel, but US over the years made sure that the new Leadership of GCC don't see Israel as a threat or enemy, and we are now witnessing it for ourselves . I am not saying that Arabs should just march on Israel for no reason but the thing is even if Arabs have a reason to fight, they still can't/Wont .
The topic of discussion was Arabs vs Iran, not KSA vs Iran but I agree that in a theoretic and very unrealistic KSA-Iran war, no side would win and it would be a status quo with much destruction for both. The only winners would be everyone else in the region which is why the regimes in both countries don't want to risk it and prefer to wage a media/proxy war over the control of the region.
Actually, it was long after Israel became an entity but you are right that the same occurred prior to the foundation of Israel. But Arabs in this case are Palestinians not any other Arabs. Back then Palestinians were peaceful town, city, village dwellers, Bedouins, fishermen, farmers etc. and they were up against 100% Western supported WW2 battle-hardened Zionists coming right from a Holocaust where their race was supposedly close to being removed from the face of the earth. That, without saying, would create a very strong survival psyche of "never again". Hence the victim adopting his oppressors behavior. Very fitting for Zionists. It was always a fight that they could not win but at least they saved significant areas of their land that they inhabit to this day while still inhabiting large areas of actual Israel.
I am a firm supporter of using the diplomatic way before anything else regardless of who we are talking about. This is why KSA and Iran are still having diplomatic ties. Similarly with Pakistan and India. Not that I would ever compare your conflict with India with ours with Iran as it cannot be compared. Our conflict with Iran is "fake" in many ways but PDF is not the forum to explain why that is in detail. Not a fight for land either.
Not only the US, people forget that Israel has fantastic close ties with Europe, they receive all the top notch European tech/military tech for free almost with no strings attached by Europe. Let us not even forget Russia, the Jewish elite are basically pulling the strings in Russia as well. I don't need to mention India either, our Pakistanis brothers and sisters know all about this in detail. Or China (yes, our mutual friend and ally) has very close ties with Israel as well.
I am sure that even the regimes in power do not look at Israel positively (Zionists) but they are not as empty-headed as many of our people are, who wish for war/destruction somehow deludedly believing that Israel will disappear overnight. Because the Jew was almost always under the mercy of Arabs. But they don't understand that things change.
The reality is that even the Palestinian factions cannot agree fully (Hamas vs Abbas and his cronies), not any different to Kashmir, unfortunately.
