Islamic Holy Sites Build on Jewish Temple Ruins
Israel was a Jewish state, and the homeland of the Jews, long before any Arabs arrived on the scene. The most dramatic evidence of that is in the location of the Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem.
The two holiest sites in Jerusalem, the Dome of the Rock and the El-Aksa Mosque, are both built directly upon the ruins of the Second Temple of the Jews. The Jewish temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD.
This shows categorically that the Jews pre-dated the Arabs in Israel. It also shows that early Islam must have held Judaism in high esteem, otherwise they would not have built the holiest mosques in Jerusalem on such an obviously Jewish site.
The photo above shows the Western Wall of Solomon's Temple (holiest place of the Jews), and above it, and resting built upon it, the gold-domed Dome of the Rock. The El-Aksa Mosque is not pictured, but is located to the right of the pine trees.
This points out the total absurdity of the blather coming out lately by some Arabs that Israel is an "imperialist" or "apartheid" state. This is totally moronic, since Israel has been the homeland of the Jews for thousands of years.
In addition to this dramatic evidence, there is overwhelming archeological, historical and literary evidence supporting this fact.

That's an interesting post, but I think that you are generalizing too much. Putting Israel into the mold of an imperialistic nation simply doesn't fit reality. It fits neatly into your theories, but does not fit reality. Here are a few simple facts:
1. Israel is not purely "western". About half of the Jews in Israel are Ashkenazic (Europeon) and another half are Sephardic (from Arabia and Spain). The Sephardic Jews basically look more like Arabs.
You don't see as many Sephardic Israelis on TV because the Ashkenazic Jews have more political prominence in Israel. And perhaps are more interested in politics.
Additionally, 20% of the population of Israel are non-Jewish Arabs.
The total Jewish population of Israel is only about 5 million, as opposed to about 68 million Iranians, 18 million Syrians, and maybe a total of 200 million Arabs surrounding Israel.
2. Israel is not geographically traditionally a part of Arabia. Israel is a Mediterranian country that is a buffer between North Africa and Europe and Asia. That is why the Christian and Moslem religions have clashed at that location.
Israel is the Holy Land of Christianity and the birthplace of White Jesus. Jesus was a JEW, not a Palestinian.
Israel is indisputably the homeland of the Jews, and the Jews were forceably expelled from there in 70 AD by the Romans, who were Europeons.
Note that Israel in BC times was controlled by the Jews and also at other times by the Greeks and the Romans, who are EUROPEONS, not Africans.
Note also that North Africa was brutally conquered by the Byzantine empire in the 5th century AD. They murdered everyone outside of their own race, which is part of the reason that the Arabs seem to be "indigenous" to the area, but are really not.
Your blaming of America and Israel for the problems of Arabia is LUDICROUS. There are Arabs in Arabia who OBSCENELY RICH. They have BILLIONS of dollars.
The fact that these billionaires waste their money on luxuries and loose women is not the fault of the west. It is their own fault.
Israel is very far away from Saudi Arabia and Iraq, and has little influence over their affairs. The Arab oil sheiks and the fat Mullahs like to blame the Jews for everything, so that nobody will notice that they're hogging up all the oil money while the people eat camel dung for dinner. The Jews are a scapegoat.
But how do these Arabs spend their money? Do they distribute it among their people? Do they do anything for their Palestinian "brothers" that they are always crying about?
When Israel was established in 1948, there were about 750,000 Palestinians. This small number of so-called "refugees" could EASILY have been assimilated into the 200 million Arab population surrounding Israel.
Today there are 3,500,000 Palestinians. That is a FIVE FOLD population increase on the part of the Palestinians.
If these Palestinians have been so "oppresed" by the Israelis, then how come their population has QUINTUPLED? Populations do not grow when people are truly oppressed. They shrink.
Is it Israel's fault that a Palestinian woman will have 10 babies when she can hardly afford to feed one?
One of the main reasons that Moslems hate Israelis is simply that Israeli women are among the strongest and most free in the world. Believe me, if any Arab tried to get an Israeli woman to wear a burka, she would probably give him a complimentary clitorectomy. The Arabs know enough not to mess with Israeli women. They'll cut the Arab's balls off.
Moslems are scared to death of this freedom. Arab women are good little slaves. They skulk around in the burkas and do as their told. They can't work, can't drive, can only have more babies. As if Arabia needs more babies!
Moslems are most terrified of Israel because it represents the West. The truth is that most Arabs HATE Islam. But it is forced down their throats. Nobody wants to live in the 7th century anymore.
I also can't agree with your characterization of Moslems as non-violent, peaceful victims. 9/11 was a staggeringly brutal act of mass murder, and much of the Arab street celebrated it.
The Arabs are a violent race. History has shown this to be the case. Ironically, the Jews are a peaceful race. History has also tragically shown this to be the case. Otherwise, the Nazis would not have been able to so easily exterminate one third of the Jewish world population.
I know that you may not like to hear my comments, but I think that you need to gain a greater knowledge of what Israel is really about. Especially if you are going to criitcize it. It doesn't fit into this simplistic "oppressor/oppressed" mold.
Cordially,
You know who.
