The Israeli State only came into existence on May 15 1948. In fact it was about 1951 under American pressure that Israel reluctantly conceded a degraded citizenship to those Arabs that it hadn't managed to expel.<br /><br />So your whole statement that Israel never had a problem with Arabs or Palestinians is complete nonsense.<br /><br />You are totally wrong. The problem was NOT religious. Zionism is not a religious but a political movement. It uses religion to cover itself but at heart it is a political movement. Its founders were nearly all atheists. Theodor Herzl didn't even circumcise his son, Hans.<br /><br />As Max Nordau, Herzl's deputy explained, Zionism ‘is not a question of religion but exclusively of race, and there is no-one with whom I am in greater agreement on this position than M Drumont.’ Edouard Drumont was the leader of the anti-Dreyfusards in France.Tony Greensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14300640929161205370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-10693482616328873772021-12-12T03:10:54.556+00:002021-12-12T03:10:54.556+00:00Arab is a euphemism for non-Jew.

Israel has never had a problem with Arabs, a culture, or Palestinians, a people, because in 1947 it gave citizenship to all Palestinian Arab Jews, thereby demonstrating the only issue it had was religious, i.e. rejection of non-Jews, the Palestinian Christiand and Muslims.<br /><br />To continue to use the term Arab when what is meant is non-Jew, is to hide the racist reality of the Israeli State in its foundation and its actions.Roslyn Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700960108357035957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-35097007641406058832021-12-11T19:57:53.462+00:002021-12-11T19:57:53.462+00:00Give me a break!

I proposed that we should extend the normal day to 48 hours during which you can sleep only once.
