theskyhadoncebeenblue (Original Poster)
Initially asks why people hate Israel or Jews, suggesting jealousy and stating that without Israel “we would have nothing.” In later messages, responds sarcastically to criticism, repeatedly saying “I’m sorry you feel that way,” and mocks historical Arab–Israeli conflicts (e.g., the Six-Day War). Often dismisses others’ arguments, implying the thread was made partly to troll.
Ranu
Initially suggests that the topic exists only to provoke emotions, proposing it should be closed. Argues that Israel has killed thousands of Palestinian children, which is one reason many hate the country. Believes the forced relocation of Jews into an Arab-majority land inevitably caused conflict. Draws comparisons to other territorial disputes (e.g., Native Americans in the U.S., Russia in Ukraine) to illustrate his stance that outside powers created Israel without Arab approval. Eventually stops debating, concluding that people’s minds are already made up.
NanuPlayer
Early on, jokingly speculates that the original topic might be tied to someone else’s account. Later grows more hostile toward the original poster, accusing him of trolling to anger Muslims. Argues that both Hamas and Israel commit wrongdoings, maintaining that the land belongs to Palestinians. Believes the Six-Day War was lost partly due to betrayal among Arab leaders, and criticizes those who defend Israel without acknowledging possible Arab perspectives.
Mami Tomoe
Points out that every country has detractors and that hate toward Israel is part of a larger global pattern of animosity. Notes that people in this forum typically struggle with calm discussion on such heated topics. Advises others not to fuel hatred or attention toward trolls.
Alpha Beta
Attributes hatred of Israel mostly to Muslims, claiming they dislike other faiths as well. Argues that Arabs have many countries while Jews historically have had only one. In debating with Ranu, contends that modern Arab regions often resulted from Islamic conquests. Praises Jewish historical contributions, such as in mathematics, while criticizing Islam for terrorism. Denies active genocide in Israel, saying Arab citizens in Israel have rights and political representation.
DC (Admin)
Questions why someone would register on a game forum to discuss such a contentious topic. Challenges the original poster to back up claims like “most people hate Israel” and “without Israel we’d have nothing.” Considers the thread trollish but allows it to continue, as it has generated activity without overtly breaking forum rules. Ultimately decides not to close it immediately.
cs2d_is_a_Gem
Briefly comments that civilians should not be held responsible for the deeds of their governments, terrorist groups, or armies. Emphasizes judging people by individual actions rather than by nationality or religion, advocating empathy toward those in conflict areas.
mrc
Only appears briefly, reacting humorously to someone’s comment about alternate accounts. Does not offer a stance on the Israel–Palestine dispute but finds the situation amusing.
Gaios
States that Jews have lived in the region since ancient times and supports their reclaiming of these lands if they survived as a people. Believes Palestinians attacked first in the modern era and are now suffering the consequences. Argues that it was historically Jewish territory long before Arabs arrived, and that resurrecting it as Israel is justified after past Jewish presence.
vader
Maintains that the Arab countries initiated the 1948 war against Israel, which Israel survived. Suggests the foundation of Israel made sense in light of the Holocaust, giving Jews a safe homeland. Reminds others that the Soviet Union originally supported Israel and that U.S. aid ramped up mainly in the 1970s. Disagrees with framing the entire conflict as U.S.-backed creation; contends Israel also acted to protect itself despite various embargoes.
Mora
Notes the heated and unproductive nature of the argument. Recommends that users ignore the troll aspects or close the thread. Applauds the original poster for successfully provoking an intense debate.
Marcell
Remarks that no religion or country is inherently superior to another and all have flaws. Suggests it is pointless to argue about which nation or faith is “better,” as each has done both good and bad historically.
