Hello chess lovers.
Today, I have played a man from Morocco. We also talked about Israel ("where are you from.." the usual). (I'm Israeli, Jewish, religious). It seem that, the average Arabic person, is convinced that Israel is a state that abuse \ oppress Arabic women & children \ the Palestein people. He's not pretending to believe that, he Actually believe that.. Well, that's terrible, it makes both Jews and Arabs feel bad, then they play on the server. I assume they should read This:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab%E2%80%93Israeli_conflict
I assume it's objective - most Wikipedia English articles aren't written by Jews or by Arabs, probably by Americans..
I have no idea how to solve such complex conflict... I'm a civilian from the Galilee. For short, we live with Arabs, we have our villages, they have theirs, sometimes the (Israeli) news tells about a terror attack, and sometimes about a military operation. We just live regularly here.. The Druze are willingly recruited to the Israeli Army - they have a special infantry unit - Kherev - "Sword".
Since Israel was erected, the world changed - The Christian world stopped hating us, and the Arab/Muslim world started to hate... In the exile, I was told it was opposite.
And by the way, everyone should know, the 6 day war was a Miracle ! I say that because I met (on Lichess) a man from Egypt, and when I told I'm Israeli, he got silenced, and then told me Egypt is strong (As if I thought, that Egypt was weak... Egypt was the first empire... so I told him Egypt is strong, and so is he - in chess, and he felt better.)
Yes, sometimes there Are miracles. The Jews winning against Egypt + 2 other countries... in 6 days??? Nature way, they should have lost in 6 minutes... They almost died from the panic, I live here, I know.
G-d himself is comparing the Jews, to a worm.. - a creature with only a mouth, not hands and legs...
"Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob,
little Israel, do not fear,
for I myself will help you,” declares the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel."
Isaiah 41:14
Every Israeli that believe we won the war becuase... stronger, more rightful \ just, smarter, more co-ordinated, or someone that said - "because we knew that if we lost, we would be doomed...", so the worm was fighting much stronger - otherwise it would be doomed... That's the problem with secularity... - they Cancel G-d's interference... reaching dumb conclutions.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-Day_War
"Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you." Leviticus 26:8
But, War is terrible, and we're all better without it. Of course.
Thank G-d !
P.S. We all have work the same G-d.
