Two sides to every coin, and as the Muslims would apparently be loathed as much by the Jews, there is little difference between one and the other so far as I can see.
Why not ?
Think of one good reason why one group as part of the British community should not join in out of common respect for such a terrible event ?
Those who died did nothing against Islam .
They did nothing against Christianity either and it was Christians who murdered them .
There are no two sides to this coin .
Six million Muslims were not murdered in concentrations camps
But under other circumstances they could have been .
We all feel for the plight of the Syrians not because they are of any one faith but because they are many innocent being killed .
We all loath ISIS because of its senseless and cowardly murder of innocent people .
Muslims live safely and hopefully protected by our laws as are all British citizens .Yet the rise in anti semitism has lead to increasing attacks against Jews here in the UK and it cannot be denied that this has conincided with the rise in Islam in this country .
People don't like to say this but sadly it's true .
Muslims themselves are targeted too by right wing nutters and other extremists but the Jews thanks to general brainwashing get both.
The more I read into all of this, the more it appears that the treatment of the Negav Bedouins can be put on a par with the American Indians . It's fookin disgusting !
Rubbish there is no wounded knee of the Bedouins.
On the contrary the Bedouins engender a spirit of the Middle sadly their lifestyle is passing .
It is the advance of the modern world which has made them leave their traditional pastimes and get standard jobs .
Others want a more settled life with education for their children.
As they become settled they have to pay taxes like anyone else.
I notice you are only concentrating as usual on Israel yet there are or were Bedouins all over the middles East .
where are the Bedouins of Egypt ?
Don't they pay taxes ?
Of course they do if they are settled and their case their tradition herding lands have been used to build hotels and infrastructure .
Ditto in Iraq Syria ( where they are now in the same boat as other Syrians ) in Saudi Arabia they prefer cars to camels being the ruling families as the house of said came from the desert.
I am lucky to have experienced knowing the Bedouins whilst I was in Jordan and used to ride through the desert .i would often stop and have tea with them -they are very hospitable .
I lived for three years in Karak the Bedouin capital so most of the people there were originally Bedouins .
Yet even in Jordan where they are respected things change life changes nothing stands still for ever.
