The concept of Aliyah is a much stronger practice of will than the belief by Arabs who say they too have longed for a nation of their own in the same place as Jews.
The return of Jews to the Middle East to occupy a place that’s historically their own is embedded in their religion, and in their history. It’s their identity to believe so.
The same is not true of a small proportion of Muslims who have zero claim to a further historical site of special significance to the other religious influence there. The political goal, propelled by terrorist activity, is just simply not the same and cannot be seen as so.
Israel has not denied the rights of Muslims to be present in places that matter significantly to a religious leaning, but has set conditions on territorial control that has gone badly wrong in times past.
The State of Israel perceives Islam to be what it is today, not a remastered academic version that tells stories of peace and stability. The democracy Israeli’s have is a more real story than a vain hope that only ends in glory for murderers and Jew haters, such as Hamas et al. are.
The history being written by Israel is a much better tale than the one strived for by a bloodthirsty street regime in Gaza that has a hold but no real interest in the wellbeing – or status – of the people there. It controls a destiny because its future promises more gains for plunder.
