THis isn't a topic to inform or debate. This isn't a topic to convince. However, w/ the upcoming elections and talk of the lobby groups for Israeli, the question of Israeli's status as a nation and the US support for it goes into question. I like to ask people to DO YOUR RESEARCH! As far as some of you know, the Jews have nothing to do with that area we call Palistine. Hell, some of you probably think the British were closing their eyes and playing "e-ni-mini-myo" while picking a Jewish homeland. Go out and do some research BEFORE you post in such topics. 70% look like idiots talking about the Israeli/Palistinian oppressors/victims or vice-versa. DO SOME RESEARCH POR FAVOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S.-THe Jews were 12 tribes that, after leaving Egypt (according to Exodious in the Bible) conquered (or reconquered) the "Holy Land" which is now called Palistine. In the first century AD (I believe 70 AD) the Romans conquered the area and a diaspora of the Jews occured. Ever since, issues between the Jewish minority and majority of various countries have occured, sometimes under the pretext that the Jews were Jesus-killers, and other times with no pretext at all. Because the Jews were usually successful, they were hated (although this is not the case all the time). And of course, we all know what happened in the 20th century to European Jews (which make up the vast majority of the Jewish population). I believe Britain offered the Zionists a place in Africa to settle, but tehy rejected it, opting to return to the ORIGINAL homeland that was Palistine. The "Palistinians" didn't exist as a group at all until the Jews took power. Until the pt., the HOly Land was a collection of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim settlments, formerlly under the control of the Ottoman Empire until WWI and the fall of Baghdad and Jerusalem to the British forces
