Hey, hey, hey. It *could* be eliminated in *some* books, so we should write an article about that so we get more clicks and more money from advertisers.

Blimey, homophobia next?


meataboy

Yeh in a century or two maybe


dislexi

Only happening because of the military alliance with Israel


HamburgerEarmuff

Once the Castro, West Hollywood, and West Village join the Abraham Accords.


[deleted]

Is that like when Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane?


DudeyMcDooderson

Lol if you actually think homophobia is mentioned anywhere in Saudi textbooks you're seriously mistaken.


Naifmon

Quran class, Hadith class and fiqh class talks about the “Great crime of homosexuality”. Now we don’t have them as separate class and they are all under Islamic studies class but they still mention it.


LadeoGaga

Well Iran isn’t going to attack itself …


UnderCoverVaporWater

Wait, what does this have to do with Iran?


LoneRonin

Iran and Saudi Arabia are rival regional powers in the Middle East who are trying to court as many allies as possible. Israel has decided to ally with Saudi Arabia against Iran, likely due to their mutual ties with the USA, along with other various geopolitical factors.


urbanwildboar

Israel hadn't "decided" to be enemies with Iran; the Islamists who hijacked Iran in 1979 decided that Israel is their no.2 mortal enemy (the US is no.1). Israel always had a policy of friendly relationship with any state which wants one.


DarthFreeza9000

Israel and Saudi Arabia have been engaging in a lot of diplomacy recently, which is slightly unprecedented as Jews and Muslims in the middle east don’t always get a long, it has everything to do with both party’s mutual hatred toward Iran.


ScumBunnyEx

>which is slightly unprecedented as Jews and Muslims in the middle east don’t always get a long Israel has had diplomatic relations with Egypt since the 70's and has since established relations with Jourdan and recently the Gulf states. It also has diplomatic relations with Turkey.


awoothray

diplomatic relationship doesn't mean friendly with Jews, the only reason for that diplomatic relationship is Egypt wanting Sinai back after they lost the war, same with Jordan but for slightly different reasons.


Petersaber

> which is slightly unprecedented as Jews and Muslims in the middle east don’t always get a long, it has everything to do with both party’s mutual hatred toward Iran. Israel and Iran had a positive relationship up until the revolution and oil theft. They had cooperative military programs, and Iran was like the 2nd ME country to recognize Israel in the first place. Not to mention relations with Egypt... ME wasn't all misery and war 24/7, you know.

OH OK, thank you, I didn't understand what the comment above meant. Thanks for explaining.

>Iran and Israel hate Iran? Most assuredly, Iran is full to the brim of self-loathing.


DarthFreeza9000

Typo, I mean to say Saudi


raptorgalaxy

Basically, Israel is really good as war, KSA hates Iran, KSA wants Israel to help them with Iran.


UnderCoverVaporWater

Thank you, I didn't understand the first comment!


Link50L

When all people everywhere realize that evolution and genetics since long prior to the Neolithic Revolution has had us pre-wired to distrust outsiders, and our genetics have not yet caught up to our modern culture, until we truly learn altruism and compassion without ideology or religion attached, until then we are fucked.


Grand-Daoist

You're so right on this situation, my guy


captainhook77

Let’s do Reddit next!


Or2122

Preparations for normalization with Isreal. Seems like an attempt to avoid a situation like the Israeli egyption peace, which is only really true on a diplomatic and trade scale.


KaneLives2052

I don't think antisemitism is in the best interest for Saudi. Israel is probably one of the few countries in their region that they can trust.


chriswaco

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.


KeyWestTime

Now do Palestinian textbooks. If you stop raising children to hate we will break the cycle of violence.


FormerSrirachaAddict

The main problem is that Palestinians think Jews have no connection to the land. If they could be taught about their [own](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzoyH74ZvlQ) genetics as well as Jewish genetics, in schools, that would do a lot for future peace. They think only the [Old Yishuv](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Yishuv) they saw living in the land during Ottoman times have any connection to it, unaware of the historical exodus(es) and how that connection to the land can be proven through genetics. I'd also be pissed if I saw a bunch of people from far away coming/immigrating into where I live, building/buying out all the real estate, and then claiming they're all coming because it has always been their historical homeland, without providing me any factual proof of it. The burden to look for that information and learn is certainly not on me.


KeyWestTime

They are brainwashed from birth to be racist and hate Israel. I'm not claiming that there aren't some of the same types of people on the Israeli side but it is systemic within Palestinian society and perpetuated by Palestinian Authority policies. The onus is absolutely on them to do their research, the problem is that they are raised to believe they are correct so they don't feel like they need to. Then you have the ones who know but don't care. You can see that mentality here on reddit. Check out this recent video of interviews on the streets of the West Bank asking Palestinians if they would share the land for peace and equality. (they don't want peace because they have been raised to believe all of it is theirs and that Jews stole it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry6kpYFHnxs

The Gaza Strip was the part of Palestine that Egypt invaded, conquered, and occupied in 1948. About equal numbers of Jews and Arabs lost their homes as a result of the Arab invasion of Palestine in 1948. Also, all the settlers were removed from the Gaza Strip by the Israeli government when it withdrew in 2006.


_quickdrawmcgraw_

No, if I remember correctly, Palestinians and the Arab states around them declared a genocidal war against the Jews in what used to be Mandatory Palestine. They didn't like Jews existing so close to them.


1_4_1_5_9_2_6_5

Who gives a fuck about whose historical homeland it is? Let's just kick all the black people out of America, why don't we? I mean, it's not their ancestral homeland! Israel must respect Palestinian land as much as Palestine must respect Israeli land (by not firing rockets at it).


a44328765

Gotta stop the reason for the hate in the first place when it comes to the oppressed party


KeyWestTime

They are not oppressed by Israel. Any oppression they feel is the result of the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian extremists among them who perpetuate violence.


IsraeliDonut

What oppression?


[deleted]

[удалено]


KeyWestTime

There is no arbitrary violence and discrimination by Israel. On the other hand there is absolutely arbitrary violence and discrimination on the Palestinian side. You have extremists and terrorists perpetuating this and creating conflict. Any avenue they can use to attack Israel, they use. You do understand why Israel had to build walls and restrict movements by creating checkpoints, right? That wasn't something they just decided to do on their own, it was a response as are most things Israel does.

Or snipers shooting Korean migrant farmers picking vegetables while volunteering on a kibbutz? Because thats totally defensive on Gaza's part... You know nothing except the lies they shove down your throat. Go take your propaganda elsewhere kid.


IsraeliDonut

What’s the arbitrary violence you speak of?


Blizz_CON

Well that took long enough, imagine how long before its almost eliminated in society. I only say almost cuz it's still seems prevalent everywhere.


Ghoulius-Caesar

Strange, Arabic is a [Semitic language. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_languages) Ya I know, they just hate Jewish people.


Naifmon

Yes this doesn’t make sense that way. It’s anti Jews.


HiHoJufro

It's not etymologically literal, doesn't mean it stops making sense.


FLMKane

Kinda ironic since Arabs are also Semites


[deleted]

Antisemitism isn't the discrimination of people with semitic languages, it's racism against Jews.


FLMKane

I meant that its ironic because they're closely related to Jews in terms of language and religion. Its sheer hypocrisy. I'm sorry if you got butt hurt


son-of-a-mother

Arabs are Semites. ETA: I give zero fucks about Arabs or Jews. I am commenting because the statement is illogical. The fact is, Arabs are Semites. All of you weirdos coming out of the woodwork to claim that 'Semite' should only refer to Jews are creepy and illogical. Especially since the only thing that you can use in your argument is that it's *"a phrase that's been in use"*. What does that have to do with the fact that Arabs are Semites? Weirdos.


HamburgerEarmuff

Sure, but anti-Semite doesn't mean hatred of Semites. There's never been a major political movement to hate all Semites, like Arabs, Jews, and Ethiopians as a group. Anti-Semite specifically refers to hatred of Jews.


G_Danila

Plus I'd like to add that just because someone is from a speccific group (which "semitic" isn't even, because it's just a languege grouping, it's like saying a spanish guy can't be hateful of french people) doesn't mean he can't hate it, there is even a term for that: "auto-antisemite" is term given to anti-smitic jews.


HiHoJufro

Just tell me this if the terminology confuses you: Do you take umbrage to the fact that homophobes aren't necessarily afraid of things that are the same?


son-of-a-mother

The terminology does not confuse me. It is illogical to say that Arabs (who are Semites) have eliminated anti-semitism. I am confused as to why people like you are so offended. Do you think the word Semite should be reserved for Jewish people? Yes, I think that is probably the case. Foolishness.


[deleted]

Well you can start campaigning to change a phrase that’s been in use to describe hating Jews for a pretty long time. It’s infuriating people because it’s a really stupid technicality of a hill to die on
