Middle east, Turkey, the balkans, north Africa..that's the ottomans which seems a good geographical parallel.
I see no reason they should attack Saudi considering the ideology, that leaves Iran which I'm not sure if it's a target.

Their main target is Saudi Arabia by the way.
Even before Israel.
Like every other terrorist group from the region.

We already suffered a couple suicide bombings. ISIL views the royalties as infidels, and anyone who lives under their rule is guilty of the same by association.

kinda. A bit more complicated. They are pretty bat sh!t crazy and so extreme that traditionally conservative countries like Saudi look like liberal havens for infidels.

Best articles so far on the GOP brokered convention flap:

Republicans discussed possibility of brokered convention
CNN, a just the fax jax article.

Conservative backlash grows against brokered convention
Hill, reaction and deeper backgrounds.

For everyone on the liberal train jumping down trumps neck and all the Muslims crying persecution. Where are your voices for the Israelites for the last 50 years till today.
Just for clarification I don't agree in banning but a much tighter security religious checks on entry. An overview of it at least. And to able to have an honest talk about islam without people throwing insults and dismissing the connection.

Quote:
No one seems bothered with 16 Muslim countries where Israelis are banned

Countries that do not accept Israeli passports

Sixteen countries forbid admission to Israeli passport holders:

Algeria
Bangladesh
Brunei
Iran
Iraq (except Iraqi Kurdistan)
Kuwait
Lebanon (neighboring country; territory dispute – Shebaa farms)
Libya
Malaysia (Clearance permit needed from the Ministry of Home Affairs.)
Oman
Pakistan (Clearance permit needed from the Ministry of Internal Security.)
Saudi Arabia
Sudan
Syria (neighboring country; territory dispute – Golan Heights)
United Arab Emirates (accepted for transit only; not allowed for admission)
Yemen
In addition, Iran, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen do not allow entry to people with evidence of travel to Israel, or whose passports have either a used or an unused Israeli visa. As a consequence, many countries will allow for a second passport to be issued to citizens wishing to circumvent this restriction.

Pretty sure these countries don't deny Jews entry.

You didn't mention that Israel has the same or worse policies towards those same nations.

That's because the countries you mention above do not recognize the state of Israel and/or in a state of cold war with them.

Also those same countries you mentioned, for the most part, have perfectly normal relationships with the rest of the world and more importantly their neighbors.

Israel is a controversial state that doesn't enjoy a lot of support from the international community for a reason.
But kudos to you for using an argumentative fallacy to derail the discussion so you can push forward your neo-nazi agenda.

Anyone else see the irony of mentioning Israel, a state where you have to be jewish to be a citizen, in an argument that centers around freedom of religion and liberty?

Last I heard both Christians and Moslems were citizens of Israel. Second class citizens, true, but citizens nonetheless.

Some of this is true. But geographically I'm not sure. (I only studied on this somewhat so far.)

Nation of origin and religion are rarely as intertwined as is the case with Israel, but that is a good point. Saudi and Iran, at least, attack Israel's sovereignty, not specifically Judaism.

While its true even Netanyahu has said Trump is too crazy even for him, Israel's greatest failure as a democracy centers around its intolerance for other religions and people as a society and people. I'm not saying its an evil country, I'm saying facts are facts. Look at the most recent issues with African migrants there. Pretty hard to watch some of the stuff that is coming out of there.

I don't like jew bashing (or any bashing based on religion or ethnicity) but the fact is:
Hollywood was founded by a handful of jewish migrants that came to the US in the early 20th century. Mostly from Poland.

I don't see it as bashing. Unless you imply there's something wrong with it, you're just stating a fact.

Yeah, there's a lot of Jews in Hollywood... Is that a problem?

Not at all, just have to be extra careful these days or you will get labeled something fierce when you speak about Jews collectively.

Eh, you have to be careful about speaking about any group collectively, but that's not a new thing, the bigotry if often embodies has just become less acceptable.

Is this the wave of illegal immigration from Africa that came to Isreal? Which were running scared from extremist Muslims chopping off heads.
It's a tricky balance of accepting people but still keeping the beliefs and identity of the Jewish culture, faith and its people safe. That's why Isreal was established for the people who live there so what would be the point just to have open gates and lose the majority and purpose. They are an extremely small country.
I don't see you attacking Australia for being tough on accepting migrants.
To be fair to Isreal as much as they suffer from attacks, it's amasing they are as accepting as they are.
