For some reason we seem to think we need Isreal as an ally, i think we would make more allies if we supported the palestians, Israel is a country that was imposed by the UN. It has got to be embarrassing if you need the UN to start a country for you.

Id say people in the Middle East have an extremely biased view (if any) on the Holocaust. Im Lebanese, living in Lebanon, and i can say that the Holocaust is praised (unfortunately) in most Arab countries since Israel is viewed as the main enemy (along with the US). It's sad to see educated people praising Hitler and the horrible genocide he commited against Jews. Being an Arab Christian, my backgroud education gave me the right idea about the genocide. However, most Muslims have this haine for Jews (mostly because the Sheikhs and Arab leaders examplify Israelis and Jews as the force of evil and war in the world). I dont want to sound too pessimistic but a better education will not be the solution because Imams (or Sheikhs, as in muslim religious leaders) will still endoctrinate their followers... The only solution in my opinion is the creation of two states (Israel and Palestine) after both forces recognize one another according to international law. It's a shame extremism (whether ultra-orthodox jews or fanatic muslims) is the obstacle of bringing people together..

Israel is a very small piece of land. God promised this to Abraham, Isaac, and (Jacob later called Israel). God said I will bless them that bless you and I will curse them that curse you. If God was not on Israel's side it would be owned by the Palestinians by now.

Before the creation of Isreal, the land that it is made up from was ruled by the British as a mandate. On May 14, 1948 the state of Israel was created by the UN. The Israeli Independance day, or Yom Ha'atzmaut, is celebrating that event.

Centuries ago, there used to be jews in what is not palestine or israel.  After Christinaity came, some converted, and then afterwards, some converted to Islam.  The people who lived there were known as Palestinians whether Jewish, Christians or Muslims.  For a few hundred years, the land was under Ottoman rule, and the British and French agreed with Prince Abdallah at that time (through Lawrence of Arabia) that if the Arab countries revolt against Ottoman rule in 1916, they would give Arab countries their land and independence.  The Arabs complied and after WWI, the whole Arab land was divided between British and French mandates.  What was known as Palestine was under British Mandate.\nAt the same time, the Zionists had already declared that they want a land for Jewish people in what was known Palestine or Argentina.  Due to hatred of the Jews in Europe and to ge many out, there was what is called the Balfour declaration in 1917, whereby Lord Balfour decided to give away Palestine to the Jews.  In 1948, the British left Palestine, and hous later the State of Israel was created and 700,000 Palestinians were displaced from their homes.  These Palestinians and later refugees are today over 3 million Palestinians scattered all over the world. \nAfterwards, the UN declare that the land should be divided 2/3 to Israel and 1/3 to Palestinians, not proportionate to the populations at all.  Since Israel has occupied more lands in several wars and built settlements in what was given to the Palestinians in that UN resolution.\nThe Palestinians have been fighting to get back their land.  But each current agreement offered from the Israelis gives hem even less of the 1/3 originally given to them.  There are in total 5 million Palestinians who have no homeland.  On the other hand, most jews (except the Palestinian Jews) have a second country as they did belong to some sort of country before  going to Palestine.  \nWHy should Jews have a country of their own?  It is a religion after all, not a nationality.  Imagine Christians saying we want a country and expelling all others. Or Muslims saying they want to expell all other residents and have their own country.  No one would accept this.  But everyone (in powerful positions) is accepting that Jewish people have to have their own land, and therefore they are just closing their eyes to the inhumane conditions they are putting the Palestinians through.\nPalestinian fighting has not been there as long as the killing of Palestinians by Israelis, the Israelis started when they created their state by having massacres, e.g. Deir Yassin 10 April 1948.  But they are constantly claiming that they are assassinating Palestinians and killing "terrorists" while the latter are just trying to get their land and dignity.\nHope this is a fair explanation!

Why not end all economic and military support to Palestine until Palestinians stop blowing up israeli CIVILIANS??? as opposed to israel's targeting of terrorists only.\nIn addition to what I wrote before the palestinians don'e even belong there in there first place, in 1917 the british received a mandate on palestine from the league of nations to prepare palestine as the jewish homeland, palestine at the time included all of Palestine, Israel and Jordan of today, at one point the british rewarded the hashemites for helping them in Saudi Arabia by giving them Jordan (Which was not theirs to give!!!) and even so the palestinians want more and more of Israel, Why don't they just go to Jordan which is 85% palestinian anyways!!!!!!

:}\nThe Jews were God's chosen people. That makes Satan unhappy. He has used Christians, Muslims and pagans to bring hardship on them but God will insure their survival\nTheir existence in spite of their rebellion to him is a testimony to the existence of an all powerful loving God

cause UK and the UN has gave themselves the right to give away to the jews something they dont own,despite the will of the ppl who own it.\nand then the jews wanted also to drive the real owners of the place out!!!\nThats why war btw Muslims & israeli will continue till the jews get out of this land that dont belong to them,or at least accept to live in peace under the control of the palastinians who r the real owners of the land.

Yes, they are.\nBethlehem, was majority if not all Christians, now it is minority, and the Christians are being brushed out.  Gaza, they are being kicked out of it, if any of them left.  Jerusalem, If the Muslims had it, not one Christian will be in it any more.\nMuslims and Christian relationship on the surface it seems good, but under the surface, the Muslims will always resent the Christians, and they still call them to the day CRUSADERS.  They blame all the Christians for what happens so many years ago, and they forget what they did to others.\n\nThe reality, if a family living among Muslims, they are not going to be treated as well as if they treat each others, and when it comes to Jews in the middle of it, the Christians will be pushed to the middle as a lamb to sacrifice.\n\nRemember how they trashed the Church, when they were hiding from the Jews, if it was a mosque, it will not be treated with such disrespect, urine all of the place, in the place where Jesus Christ was born.\n\nTo repeat Yes, they are in middle of the two.  On push and the other poke, and the Christians are lost in the middle.  No too many know that there are Christian Arabs, even the educated one, they think they are all Muslims, because no one hear much about the Christians in the middle east.\n\nOf all those Arab Country that are calling for justice for the Palestine only Israel and Jordan gave them citizenship and the rest are just huffing and puffing blaming Israel for the trouble Palestinian people are having in the Arab world.\n\nArab Christians, How many times have you heard the Imam preaching against you in their friday prayers for one, calling you the crusaders, el- nassarow! How many!  number is too high to tell.\n\nAsk yourself this if Christians and Muslims have such a good relationship, then why is it more and more of Christians are leaving their country?  That is not only in Israel, but all over the middle east.  Christians are being treated badly by some Muslims.  Take for example Ramadan.  A holy month for the Muslims, and no freedom of movement for the Christians, only Lebanon is the only country that doesn't force everyone else Ramadan  down everyone else's throat.\n\nGod Bless you All in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.\nPlease Pray for the Christians family in the middle east and mostly in Palestine and Egypt.\n\nPeace to ALL People on Earth

Europeans had an Alliance with the Jews way back during the time of the Crusaders.  They cooperate to control the European economy.

Israel is the only country in the middle east that has a Judeo-Christian ethic and belief system.  Many Christians and Jews in the US support them because of that.  Also, they are of strategic importance to us militarily.

Forgive me for asking this, as it was mainly for "THE CHRISTIANS" You all do know it was writen by jews, right?

The Jews are and always will be God's chosen people. Unfortunately because of this, the powers of spiritual darkness in the world have targeted Judaism for that very reason. As a Christian, I for one have to say thank you, you have given us the Patriarchs as an example. God Bless you.

Well let's see.\n\nBasically following WWII, when Britain ceded Palestine and Israel was formed, everyone started taking sides. Many Arab nations formed close alliances with the Soviet Union, selling them oil in return for weapons systems, military training, and other things. \n\nFrance, Britain, and to a lesser extent the US all helped Israel. We gave them guns and planes and bombs and tanks, and they kept the area at least partially pro-capitalism.\n\nAmerican M1 tanks, French Dassault Mirages, and British rifles helped beat Syria and Jordan and the other Arab nations in the Six Day War, the War of Attrition. American F-4 Phantoms played a pivotal role in the Yom Kippur war.\n\nSoviet MiG planes and SAMs (surface to air missiles) claimed many Israeli planes in the Yom Kippur war, despite the fact the Arabs were crappy pilots compared to the Israelis.
