1. He hasn't done that 2. Palestinians are not Israeli citizens 3. Israel does not have segregated transport. You are wrong.

I'll just leave this here...

Are you asking me if the women in hijabs are Muslim? I don't know what the women in the bottom picture are wearing but I'm 99% sure they're christians. If someone thinks that any country in the world having any slight amount of religious influence on their government is wrong, then that seems fair to me. But for the people who think the only country in the world which shouldn't be allowed to have religious influence on government is the Jewish one, and the only one they complain about is the Jewish one - then there's something wrong. I would view it that if Israel is a Jewish state because the majority of the people are Jewish and there is a small cross-over between religion and the government, then Britain is a Christian state because the majority of the people are christian and there is a small cross-over between religion and the government.

This sums up you're entire contribution to this thread. You don't really know the facts or have any understanding but you've heard a lot of lies and just repeat it all. Even in the face of photographic evidence proving your nonsense wrong I'm sure you'll keep arguing your way.

Can someone please explain why it's wrong for Israel to be a Jewish state but it's fine for the UK to be a Christian state?

The UK is a Christian state. That's a fact.

I'm proud of the fact Israel is a Jewish state. Nae luck ya racist.

Aye ok expert How about they don't attack Israel for ten years? That's a much better way of getting a ten year ceasefire.

Yes and before them there was the PLO. Before them there was the Fedayeens. Before them there was the National Jihad. Before them there were rioters, and Arab militias, murdering Jews. The fact is all Hamas and their many predecessors want is an end to Jews living in Palestine. This has been going on since before Israel was even founded. From the Peel commission of 1937 to the Camp David Accords of 2000. That's why Palestinian leaders have rejected every peace agreement or partition plan - and that's why 60% of Palestinians believe the solution is one state, "from the river to the sea"

How many times did Israel invade during the last two years when Hamas weren't attacking every day? You labelled them as terrorists earlier but now seem to be changing your tune, saying they're a "defence force" when it suits you.

Defending against what?

What are you on about? When people blow up your buses, cafes and murder your children every weekend it makes sense to build a wall to keep those people out. When people launch rockets at your homes everyday it makes sense to try to stop those people getting rockets. You can say whatever you like but the fact is Israel has a right to defend itself and just because a lot of people around the world hate them for that doesn't mean they are going to stop. The reason why I am posting is to counter the constant lies levelled by you and your type (see king's post above for example) The fact is there have been significantly fewer deaths in the Israeli-Arab conflict than nearly every other major conflict in that time (http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/massacre.html) yet people are more obsessed with Israel and peddling lies about Israel than they are about even acknowledging what's going on in other countries. Even this year there are six conflicts with more casualties than the Israel-Palestine conflict (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts#cite_ref-31) yet this one is more talked about than all the others combined. People dress it up as huminatarian concern but they couldn't care less when Palestinians are being killed by other Palestinians or other Arabs. They couldn't care less about the tens of thousands of people in other places in the world that are being killed. The reason why this conflict is so much more talked about, and why Israel is demonised so much more than other countries which have done far worse, is quite simple and it's been shown on this thread amongst many other places time and time again

You're trying to paint it as racist that immigrants to Israel have to swear an allegiance to the state. What about people in America or Britain who have to swear an allegiance to facets of the state they might not like. Whether it be immigrants or people involved at any level in the government, they have to swear an oath to the Republic and god in America or the Queen (the head of the church of England) her family and Britain's democratic values. Why is it racist for an immigrant to Israel to have to swear allegiance to the Jewish and democratic state, but it's not racist for an immigrant to Britain to have to swear allegiance to the Queen (the head of the church of England) and Britain's democratic values?

I'm interested to know your view. To me it seems you're trying to suggest that Israel is an apartheid state where only Jews have full rights. This, of course, is hard to believe when 1/4 of Israel's population is non-Jewish and enjoy all the same rights as Jewish citizens. Rather than addressing that fact which would make your conspiracy theory untrue - you appear to be taking the option of running away.

So why does the Israeli government want to keep it this "way"? Whatever the "way" is.

What does that even mean? Who is "they"?

1/4 of Israel's population is non Jewish. Don't let the facts get in the way of your racist ramblings though. It's illuminating to see how the most fervent, yet most ignorant, Israel hating posters like yourself and The King also constantly bring up Judaism and "the Jews" at every opportunity

Where?

Meanwhile there has been yet another terrorist attack in Jerusalem. How can we ever expect to achieve peace while Palestinian terrorists and their international supporters still think violence is the only answer? http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Car-slams-into-pedestrians-in-Jerusalem-in-suspected-terror-attack-380834

Shocking, but not suprising, to see people actually supporting Palestinian terrorism on the streets of Scotland

I would agree that no Muslim, Druze or Christian Israelis were offered citizenship - mainly because they are already Israeli citizens so don't need to be offered it. Why would any Palestinian in the West Bank want Israeli citizenship? You can't have an independence movement while at the same wanting citizenship from the country you want independence from. Israeli did actually offer citizenship to the 300,000 Palestinians in East Jerusalem but most rejected it as they don't want to be Israelis. Yes, they actually rejected the chance to vote and fully take part in Israeli life - the thing which you seem to be suggesting they are denied. Your ignorance and the incoherence of your argument is truly astounding. Just to sum up for you this hard to grasp point: Palestinians don't want to be Israeli - they want to be Palestinian.

So you think Muslim, Christian and Druze Israelis don't get to vote?

I really don't understand your point or why you keeping bringing up "Jews". All Israelis are allowed to vote for the Israeli government. All Palestinians are allowed to vote for the Palestinian government.
