  We did. In 1948. Sorry that it's not so easy to murder us all like the good old days.

  A European Parliament has recently adopted a resolution "Strongly condemning" the Palestinian Authority for incitement to violence and antisemitism in its school textbooks.
  Items number 28 and 29 address the Palestinian education curriculum, stating that EU-funded teaching must align with "UNESCO standards of peace, tolerance, co-existence and non-violence." The EU also states that it "Strongly condemns the hate speech, violence and antisemitism that continue to be found on Palestinian Authority education curricula."
  Marcus Sheff, CEO of the pro-Israel organization Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education, said: "Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are in lockstep on the teaching of antisemitism, and incitement to violence in Palestinian schools."

  We tear down your houses and you must shut up about it otherwise you’re antisemitic bigots. >
  
  They were violently anti-semitic before that happened
  The reality is that both sides have done awful things and, if given a free hand, will continue to do horrible things. We shouldn't be funding either of them. Violence will cease when both Israelis and Palestinians love their own children more than they hate each other >
  
  It is not the Palestinians whom force the Israelis out of their homes and tear it down to build new ones. >
  
  It's EXACTLY what Jordan did in 1949. They ethnically cleansed the Jews from the parts they conquered and settled Arabs in their homes. Israel got the territory back only in 67 when Jordan tried another land grab (and to get rid of all the Jews). >
  
  And Iraq and other muslim countries.... >
  
  This isn't unique to palestine. Other Arab and African nations teach similar things even holocaust denial is in some textbooks it is crazy and absurd. >
  
  Yea, but the western world shouldn’t be funding it >
  
  Yes. One of the craziest videos I've ever seen was of some American LGBTQ kids soliciting donations for Palestinians on their college campus.
  They do that despite the fact that if they themselves will try to live in those Palestinian cities, they'll be stoned to death or thrown from a roof top.
  Absolute insanity. >
  
  I strongly dislike the current wave of hypocrisy and ignorance surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict.
  But this isn't THAT hypocritical. Being LGBTQ is something that has been demonised in many places for long periods of human history... to say a nation or group of people deserve what's coming to them because they aren't on the bleeding edge of progressivism (or even far from it) - would be like contemning an infant before he's had the chance to grow up. 
  We can acknowledge intolerance and hate as being bad, while also supporting the basic right for Palestinians to EXIST without oppression (with the many varied types of people living there; young, old, indoctrinated, questioning, gay, straight, etc). >
  
  I support your notion in principle, but not at the expense of Israeli lives.
  Also talking of growing up, this is how they do it in Palestinian society just so you understand a bit better what sort of population Israel is dealing with here. >
  
  Yes being propagandised or brainwashed does not make them any more 'worthy' of oppression.
  I'm not one of those people that thinks Israel can just let Palestine exist autonomously without massive security measures (including interventions to quell terrorism) but all this is massively besides the point...
  My point is an abstract one: It is NOT necessarily hypocritical for one group of people (LGTBQ) to support another (Palestinians) even if they are regressive and hateful to the former. It is just a nuanced view to take - saying these hateful opinions are not intractable or universal within a population, so the population deserves not to be interfered with more than necessary. >
  
  It may be a nuanced view, but also a little contradictory, and I think deceptive.
  an LGBTQ organization, should advocate for LGBTQ rights/issues/concerns. If an LGBTQ individual wishes to support Palestine, they can join American Friends of Hamas for Palestinian Rights.   
  Would it be OK for the same LGBTQ group to support a Christian denomination that believes LGBTQ individuals deserve the death penalty? Or someone running for re-election that wants to limit LGBTQ rights? Or any other cause/individual that doesn't help progress the LGBTQ agenda? >
  
  An organisation shouldn't support a government that promotes hate, no.
  But an organisation can provide support and advocacy against violence towards a group of people; i.e. Palestinians (even if they did elect that government). >
  
  yes, an organization can. But it doesn't make sense for an organization to support another cause that is opposed to its own. 
  How would pro-palestinians LGBTQ members feel if the LGBTQ advocacy group supported an Israeli governement that wanted to change the law to require the death penalty for being gay? >
  
  My comment:
  
  But an organisation can provide support and advocacy against violence towards a group of people; i.e. Palestinians 
  
  Yours:
  
  But it doesn't make sense for an organization to support "another" cause that is opposed to its own.
  
  "Another"... what? Organisation? I'm talking about the group of PEOPLE: Palestinians.
  Do you not see the distinction between supporting a group of PEOPLE trying to SURVIVE (even if they hold regressive views) 'vs' supporting the GOVERNMENT of Palestine (a major roadblock to any kind of peace).
  To put it in a more crystal format. Do you not raise a finger to help a famine in Africa because the government is corrupt and the people there are likely very homophobic? No... you can make a distinction that they aren't as 'progressed' and that one day you hope the PEOPLE will progress socially... but in the mean-time their survival and security is worth fighting for.
  Just as animal rights activists try to save creatures that would tear them apart and eat them if they could... they recognise that in the right circumstances they will be safe/benign. In the case of dangerous animals (in a habitat away from humans)... in the case of regressive humans, given 50-60 years of Societal/Economic progressive and outside pressure and advocacy for change. They still deserve to exist in the interim. >
  
  Why are we surprised the Hamas is crazy when you only need to read a few sentences from their website to understand it >
  
  They have a website? >
  
  And a very powerful propaganda machine on social media. >
  
  Hamas propaganda is admittedly the most effective propaganda in the world. They’ve literally convinced people who define themselves by their progressive values to align with views that are diametrically opposite of theirs, by introducing some superficial distance between themselves and their goals, so people think “oh I don’t support Hamas, I just support the same objectives as them” without thinking to hard about what those objectives are outside of “Israel bad.” >
  
  I haven't seen a progressive support Hamas or their objectives given their objectives are genocide among others. 
  Supporting Palestine doesn't mean supporting Hamas. Criticizing the Israeli military doesn't mean supporting Hamas. >
  
  How meaningful is your criticism of Israel if you aren't prepared to criticise Hamas too?
  Why are you an Israeli shill for qualifying the Israeli military's crimes by referencing Palestinian attacks, but not a Hamas shill for qualifying Palestinian terrorism by referencing Israeli oppression?
  The only path to peace between Israel and Palestine is if they both stop trying to kill each other. Supporting Palestine shouldn't mean condoning their worst actions, but all too often it does. >
  
  I am prepared to criticize Hamas. But they are a terrorist group and not a democracy. My criticism won't change anything for them. It can change things in Israel. >
  
  Like.... convince Israel to let Hamas bomb them with missiles and suicide bombs....? Not sure how you can expect Israel to change if Hamas doesn't first, unless you're just advocating for Israel allowing its citizens to be slaughtered. Because that's what'd happen.
  It's a bad situation on both sides but surely people can understand Israel can't let their citizens be murdered - no modern nation can. Palestinians wanted to be their own state with their own government, not Israelis citizens. They're not under Israeli control. So yeah, the border between "states" is super tight, because Palestinian terrorists keep murdering innocent people. The solution isn't as easy as people seem to think. >
  
  You do understand there isn't a binary option of stop Hamas and let Hamas bomb them right? The illegal settlements in the West Bank doesn't stop bombings  in Gaza. 
  And yes they are under Israeli control. They keep a tight leash on the Palestinians' ability to move in the west bank. >
  
  The west bank and Gaza are politically completely independent from each other. Your careless conflation of one with the other shows just how little you understand or care of the conflict. >
  
  getting my popcorn ready for the comments on this one. >
  
  Say that without crying. >
  
  There’s no greater taboo in the Middle East than a certain book written by Ahmad al-Buni. >
  
  This has been threatened for years but at the moment Europe and the UN are currently funding Palestinian education teaching extreme hate through their media and education system. >
  
  That's not infuriating at all. /F >
  
  Oh really? Country that states their goal as "pushing Israel into the sea" has propaganda in school textbooks, really?!?! >
  
  google “israel apartheid” or ethnic cleansing >
  
  I live in Israel, come visit us and together we will try to find "Israel apartheid" irl >
  
  Very misleading translation.
  About the word Wali translated in your example as friend:
  
  Wali, in the Arabic language, has a wide set of meanings, none of which are used to simply mean “buddy, pal or acquaintance”, the way that we would use the term “friend” in modern times to denote our casual relationships with colleagues at work, peers at school or neighbors.  In an everyday reading of the Qu’ran, after reading this question initially, I came across the word wali and its various derivatives multiple times; sometimes it meant “guardian”, other times, “discharger of affairs or executor”, or “protector and ally”, and even “inheritor”.  “Friendship” can be included in this, but walaa’ is a type of intimate and extremely loyal bond that is not used for everyday friendships in Arabic.  Allah calls Himself a wali of the believers and also calls Himself by its derivative, al-Maula, which roughly means “the Patron”.  It gives a sense of one party standing protectively over the other, or fully backing and sponsoring them.
  ...
  It is clear then, that the term wali should be translated as “protecting allies” in this specific case... Source
  
  You can look at the article for more information as it's specific about this verse and goes into more details. >
  
  Yeah, actually the 25th meaning of the word is "take them as friends", "they are your best friends". Apologetics are really funny people. >
  
  It's more like "the 25th meaning of the word "friend" means "wali"."
  That's the reality of this translation and why I said it's very misleading. Just because you'd rather have the Quran be as evil as possible doesn't mean that someone telling the truth is being apologetic.
  I mean in my whole content I only stated that the translation is misleading and then pointed out a more accurate translation for the word, which included an explanation. And even this translation I provided would still mean that the verse is obviously discriminatory against Jews and Christians, though in a different meaning than the first translation provided here.
  The fact that people downvote someone pointing out that a translation is misleading and posting a Source which goes into much detail about the verse just shows how Islamophobic reddit is. It's like people can't accept Quran not being as evil as they want it to be. >
  
  Hadiths aren't the Quran though.
  The Quran is the holy book, what it states is "the truth".
  Hadiths are written by people and their perspective of things or things they've heard being said. Depending on the Hadith in question it may be thought to be the truth or bullshit depending on the person you ask. Even in a very widely accepted Haidth collection few people will think of every verse in it as the truth, but more as there being more truth in it than other collections.
  Hence it being in the Quran or being in a Hadith are very different things. This specific collection is one of the most trusted amongst Sunni Muslims and bullshit for Shia Muslims.
  Also what's often missing when you see such quotes is the context of them.
  
  Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before they greet you and when you meet any one of them on the roads force him to go to the narrowest part of it.
  
  A Jewish tribe just violated a peace treaty and this was said when they were going to confront them about this. In such a context saying something like this suddenly makes sense. It's not a blanket statement as to how you should always be treating them, but one specific to the situation in which it was stated.
  
  The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
  
  This verse was said in the context of the Muslim version of the antichrist having come and the Muslim fighting against him at the end of times. Obviously very discriminatory against Jews.
  However, it doesn't state that you should just go around killing Jews. And the Quran itself doesn't forbid you anywhere from befriending Jews. >
  
  Ok, now tell this narrative to Hamas, Islami Jihad, Al Qaeda, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan muslims. Since 90% of the muslims in the world are sunni, they have a different world view than yours. They tend to follow what's written in Quran and hadiths. >
  
  Reality is that Muslims are very different from each other. Even amongst Sunni there are many different believes. Heck, many of these radical believes are actually relatively new and now widespread thanks to Saudi Arabia.
  You say that people tend to follow what's written, but this comment chain should've told you how much bullshit saying something like this is.
  The masses don't follow what's written, they follow what they're being told is the meaning of what's written. The same text can mean various different things, especially when taken out of context. This goes for the Quran and especially the Hadiths. Even a much believed collection won't contain only verses that are believed to be true. So you can not only vary in interpretation of the meaning of single verses, but also in what verses are true and false.
  It's a complete and utter clusterfuck. You'll see pious Muslims hating Jews/Christians and think they all need to die. Meanwhile you'll also see pious Muslims have close Jew/Christian friends and thinking of them as just another human being. These Muslims follow the same Quran, they follow what they think is written there, yet come to completely different conclusions.
  I've always said that it's not the Islam who makes "evil Muslims", it's the people interpreting it in an evil way. Just like how there are extremists in Islam there are extremists in other Religions. It's just that it's much widespread in Islam. Islam itself can be as peaceful or as brutal as any other Religion or Ideology. >
  
  It always baffles me that people think of Islam (or, fuck, even of Arabic-speaking peoples) as some sort of monolithic entity. I suspect it's because there's relatively few genuine or meaningful differences (well, unless you're a doctor of divinity) between modern branches of other Western religions.
  But having worked in Israel & Jordan and visited the West Bank a few times, I learned pretty fuckin' fast that there're huge differences in ideology, culture and general worldview across even relatively small geographic regions in the Near/Middle East.
  I mean, shit, even Arabic as a language is closer to being a dozen-something regional dialects with a core linguistic root that aren't always extremely mutually intelligible.
  And it's almost like the Qu'ran doesn't translate extremely well into English (or non-Arabic languages in general) as a result, and like it's been studied and debated by doctors of religion (to use a Western turn of phrase here) for nearly a millennia and a half or something. >
  
  This has been going on for decades.  They should have cut off their funds a long time ago.  The EU is funding terrorism and anti-Semitism. >
  
  you mean palestinians are terrorists? man, just let palestinians take over their land. yes their own rightful land >
  
  What gives them rights to the land exactly? >
  
  Living on it before the people who are stealing it is uh… A pretty good prerequisite. If Mexico invaded the US with global support and took texas, would you wholeheartedly support Mexico? Honest answers only. >
  
  Ah, funny.
  Because Israel is the Jewish homeland. Our people were here thousands of years before Islam even existed.
  There were always Jews in Israel and the only way our people spread to the middle east and Europe is through persecutions and violence.
  There is an endless amount of archeological, cultural and of course even DNA evidence to support our origin in this country.
  So by your own logic, you should support Israel being a country for the Jews, and kick the Palestinians out. Right?
  But we don't even want that. We simply want to live in peace, there is room for everyone. >
  
  The Palestinians live there. It’s their land. There is no Jewish homeland. There is no Christian homeland. That is dogmatic right wing colonial bullshit. People live there and are being genocidally replaced. If there’s so much room, then why is Israel slaughtering families and stealing their homes? >
  
  But there is factually a Jewish homeland. Are we just throwing lies to the air now?
  If you want to go by who lives here, there are 7 million Jews living here. 7 million Jews in the only tiny Jewish country in the entire world filled with a billion Muslims.
  We do not need to justify ourselves to you or anyone else. These days are over.
  The Palestinians are more than welcome to announce that Israel has a right to exist and let go of the violence. We would have peace instantly and they'll be on a way to a country of their own.
  Of course they could already have a country. The entire world voted to give them one in 1948 together with us. But they chose attempted genocide.
  They failed, time for you and them to accept that. >
  
  Actually the entire world didn't vote, it was 3 countries and the people already living there didn't have a say.
  Putting two populations that hate each other was a huge mistake that led to this.
  Israel is not holy only to the Jews and if we go back it was someone else's land before it belonged to the Jews.
  In that case we should definitely give Mexico the bottom half of the US and the rest of the US to native Americans.
  It wasn't their land first and sacred to both >
  
  
  Actually the entire world didn't vote, it was 3 countries

  You are correct by also in the same page:
  On 26 November, after filibustering by the Zionist delegation, the vote was postponed by three days.[68][69] According to "multiple sources, had the vote been held on the original set date, it would have received a majority, but less than the required two-thirds." >
  
  People always blame Israel for not achieving peace - and Israel isn't perfect - but they always like to ignore that so many Palestinians literally teach their children to hate Israel and to never make peace with them.

  I have, Israel took land after world war 2. Land where people were already living. I also know that I am not allowed to live where my grandparents were born because I’m not a Jew but a random Jew from New York with no connection can >
  
  Israel is just Jews returning to the land they were expelled from in the 1917 Jaffa Deportation. >
  
  I’m sure most of the European Jews there now are descendants of the Jaffa deportation and not colonists at all >
  
  Many moved to Europe. But it’s still really fucking convenient that people make such a big deal about “taking Palestinian land” but are mum’s the word about the original expulsion that precipitated this all. 
  The Jaffa deportation underscores, in my mind, the necessity of Israel. Jews shouldn’t be expected to be forced to continue to live under the rule and whims of people who merely “tolerate” them and who more often than not want to see them dead. >
  
  Good. You live in a rump state because you attempted a genocide preceding the creation of a Jewish state and continue to promulgate that viewpoint. The path to peace is renouncing slaughtering people based on their race and faith. 
  The more the West acts as the stern parent saying "I told you so," the closer the region becomes to peace. Fact is the more we indulge the hatred and self defeating attitude of the Palestinians, the further from peace we get. You're not going to rehabilitate a drug addict by giving them their dime bag on the regular >
  
  Leave out the part where the jewish state was being created on stolen land and for european settler. That'll give people a fuller perspective >
  
  No part being left out. I don’t regurgitate Soviet era canard that’s been rehashed over and over again. No need to be an ignorant mouthpiece repeating the same worn out propaganda point over and over again- saying it ad nauseam won’t suddenly make it true >

  When I visited Israel the #1 song we'd sing every day (on the bus etc) was Salaam (Arab for peace) aka Od yavo shalom aleinu (Stand up for peace, in Hebrew) which is a Hebrew song with Arab parts, praying for peace between Jews and Arabs.
  Jews have no mandate in their religion to kill or convert Muslims, in fact we believe they're equally monotheistic to Jews and a Mosque is one of the only temples of another religion a Jew is allowed by Jewish law to enter and pray in (sikh would be maybe the only other). Jews have no doctrinal hate or even condemnation towards Muslims. 
  Jews only want peace with their neighbors. But it can't come at the cost of the slaughter of innocent Jews just trying to live their life in Israel. >

Like this is an article about a terrorist group using indoctrination of children to encourage genocide, and you and many others try to bring up Israel. How else should I take this other than you justifying terrorism and indoctrinating racism into children? And is it any surprise people are going to downvote people literally justifying terrorism and teaching children to become terrorists when they grow up? >
  
  Because the Quran teaches Muslims to hate Jews? lmfao.
  What a massive paragraph written just to justify victim blaming. Arabs murder hundreds of of thousands of other Arabs every decade. Arabs have been stealing land from other Arabs throughout history. Yet the only thing that can unite Arabs together is their unjustified hate for Jews.
  Muslims ethnically cleansed 99.9% of their Jews living in their counties, despite the fact that they were born in those countries, and their grandparents have lived in the Middle East for hundreds of years.
  Majority of Israelis are Middle Eastern in origin and have never lived in Europe. They only live in Israel because of the ethnic cleansing and hatred that Muslims have towards them. >
