I’d wager he compared it because he better educated than you. Mostly that’s because he doesn’t have those Zionist blinders on. They tend to dumb down anyone who wears them.
Israel destroyed over 120 mosques right after independence. Including some that were more than 1000 years old. I guess the Taliban took that as their inspiration.
“This was not the only Muslim holy place destroyed after Israel's War of Independence. According to a book by Dr. Meron Benvenisti, of the 160 mosques in the Palestinian villages incorporated into Israel under the armistice agreements, fewer than 40 are still standing. What is unusual about the case of Mash'had Nabi Hussein is that the demolition is documented, and direct responsibility was taken by none other than the GOC Southern Command at the time, an officer named Moshe Dayan. The documentation shows that the holy site was blown up deliberately, as part of a broader operation that included at least two additional mosques, one in Yavneh and the other in Ashdod.”

But Israel did not stop there.
