NO THANKS @nusuk, I spent my life marching for an intransigent & corrupt Palestinian *dictatorship* that betrays Palestinians & gets rich from their poverty & suffering by stealing foreign aid.

The day you march for *PEACE WITH ISRAEL* is the day I join you

Here’s why: https://twitter.com/nusuk/status/1309050653315141634
1) Israel was legally recognised by the International Community in 1948:

Immediately 5 Arab nations—Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon—invaded Israel & started the 1948 war.

Israel survived & strived against bullies
2) 1967, Nasser sent troops to Israel’s Sinai border & ejected UN peacekeepers after he blocked a crucial shipping lane “Straits of Tiran” to Israel, starting the 6 Day War.

Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq & Lebanon all attacked Israel

Israel survived & thrived again against bullies
3) 1971, a coalition of 9 Arab states (Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morrocco) with Cuba *again* launched surprise attack on Israel. It was Yom Kippur, a day for rest, fasting & prayer in Judaism.

Israel survived & thrived *again* against bullies
4) 20% of Israel is Arab, they serve in all sectors including in the Knesset (Parliament). They have mosques & Arabic is a recognised official language.

Try being an Jew in any of these corrupt dictatorial Arab states.

Worse still, try being a Jew in the Palestinian Authority
5) UAE & Bahrain just normalised relations with Israel, watch them thrive.

So, the day you support PEACE with Israel, is the day I march with you.

Till then, you bore me with your out of date & tired cliches on Israel.

Long live the Middle East’s *only democracy* 🇮🇱
