I'm sorry, but I hate it when the media makes it seem that the everybody in the West agrees with the notion that Israel has the right to exist. Christians and Muslims lived peacefully in Arab countries. One of the most successful countries in the Middle East was Lebanon which was a majority Christian country before Israel made millions of Palestinians into refugees. Now, I am not saying Jews don't have a right live in their ancestral homeland, but they should not have made it into a state. slackersunited
didn't i tell u people about the EVIL people in these forums...
I think that existing as a state and backed by the UN is good for Israel. Because otherwise Jews would face the same oppression and persecution that they have throughout history.fidosim
plus..now we get to blow stuff up...:P

While all countries are built on land taken from others, they are usually the result of hundreds of years of gains, losses, defeats, victories, and slow gradual assimilation. For instance, there would have been a time when people living in one part of present day Sweden would have been a completely different kingdom from those in another part, but those ancient divisions are forgotten now, due to time (the evolution of the state). Israel, on the other hand, though an ancestral home of the Jews, clearly belonged to the Palestinians by the time WW2 ended. What happened to the Jewish people during the holocaust was awful, but not the Palestinians fault. Why take their current home, like one big apology card for the Jewish people.... Sorry 6 million of you died.... have a country on us!!! Better to give them Germany... If it hadn't been Palestine, if say a modern caucasian Christian nation had by chance been the Jews' ancestral home (like say Finland, or Belgium), does anyone honestly think the same set of events that led to the creation of Israel would have occured?
the zionist settlement within the land of palestine/israel commenced in the 1880's-NOT after WW2...most of the lands controlled by israel are either purchased(by wealthy jewish companies....kakal alone is responsible for 19% of territorial israel) or consisted of wilderness cleared and settled by jewish immigrants......by the 2nd world war the zionist entity was already a full functioning state and a democracy.....

Well, thanks for the insult, but you too need to do some reading... of my post that is. I never said there were no Jews in Palestine pre-WW2. However, there was a mass migration to Israel from mainland Europe post-WW2, turning a minority into a majority in a relatively short period of time. The Palestinians controlled the area, and were stripped of that control unilaterally. As for the land purchases, that occured later, after an Israeli gov't by then in place facilitated such purchases.
