I sympathize with the plight of the Palestinian people, but politically I believe that they're wrong and are never going to get what they want. The problem with the Palestinians' position is that they insist on the destruction of Israel. I think the Palestininians should get their own country, but not at the expense of the destruction of Israel.

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.

Palestine is a historical territory in the Middle East, with parts of it now incorporated into the countries of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Israel. \n\n(Historical note: for most of history, Arabs insisted that there was no such thing "Palestine" and that the land was actually just part of Syria)\n\nThe origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict are, simply put, that the Arab countries can't stand the idea of Jewish freedom and independence.

No\nNo\nNo\nYes\nNo\n\nI'm an atheist, but I know a religious war when I see one...\n\nI support Israel because they (Jews) deserve a homeland and where on Earth is a more appropriate place for them than Israel? The Israeli people have manged to create a livable place in that desolate countryside, all the while defending themselves from attacks from nearly every country around them...the Arabs could take lessons, I mean if the Palestinians devoted as much time and effort into governing themselves and making their environment more livable and pleasant as they did to killing Jews, there wouldn't be a need for all the violence. Do you see what I'm getting at? Am I making sense here? Think about it.

Answering that question from a purely intelectual position, the answer would be no - you can appose the statehood of Israel without apposing the existance and livelihood of the Jewish people.\n\nHowever this idea is impossible to seperate.  That is like saying I am anti-Germany but not anti-german.  If you claim to accept a people, but also claim to want to remove thier legal right to the land they have enhabited for thousands of years... it would be difficult to seperate the two issues.  \n\nNow, with the understanding that most poeple would not like to label themselves as anti-semetic, I can understand why they would choose a label of anti-israel instead... they don't necessarily want to catagorize themselves with people like Adolf Hitler, who was clearly anti-semetic.\n\nHowever, those in the Middle East who appose the Jewish state of Isreal, whether individuals or countries, have little problem acknowledging thier anti-semetism.  Do you recall the recent quote from that Iranian official?  He had no quams stating directly that the Jews should be driven into the sea (eliminated).  Also the Palestinian's new government lead by the Terrorist Group Hammas has declared the same while in the same breat asking for money resources to help thier government.  \n\nWell, we have to ask ourselves, is it possible to be anti-isreal and not anti-semitic?  How could we support the Jews and nor support the continued existance of Isreal?  I don't need to worry too much about it, I support both, but if you don't I am open for suggestions.  Let me know

The history of Israel and Palestine goes back several thousand years but the reason "Iran hates Israel" is because the Israelis are seen by many in the Middle East as foreign agressors.  One hundred years ago, there was no Israel.  The British decided early in the twentieth century that there should be a Jewish state but the UN was actually the one to set it up.  The UN set up two states: Palestine and Israel.  With the help of Great Britain, Israel came into the region, forcibly removed thousands of Palestinian families and set up shop.  Palestinians were understandably upset and both sides began using terrorism against each other.  Eventually, Israel attacked and swallowed 70% of Palestine.  Many of the countries in the region are still licking their wounds from the six-day war and are still mad about what they see as Arab land being taken away by foreign agressors.

The Jewish people DO have a country of their own and they are not about to go away any time soon no matter how much you like or dislike them.\n\nIts sad that Palestine does not have a country of their own and have descended into violence out of frustration.  The UN declaration that gave Israel its start was also supposed to start a Palestinian state but that got obfuscated in the complex politics that ensued.

Hammas IS the Palestinian government. Anyway, no. They VOTED for Hammas and its destroy Israel policy. Anyone got any thoughts on how you make peace with someone who wants you dead? Neither do I, except of course, you defeat them.

Britain owned the land as a colony and established Israel an Palestine as two separate countries. Palestine declared war with Israel and lost. If you have a solution as to how Ha-mas can accept and recognize Israel you probably will win the Nobel peace prize,. Otherwise you will have to endure Israel defending their right to exist and right to defend their selves against ignorant racist aholes that is Ha mas and only purpose is to keep the fires of hatred stirred up.

i support zionism.  everybody deserves a home, but where can the jewish people go?  now they have Isreal, so they should keep it.  but that land was arab land, taken from other people.  who has the right to decide who gets what land? well, mabey superpowers :).  i am truely happy for the jewish people that they finally got a place to call home after thousands of years of hardship and opression.  i hope Isreal lives a long and prosperous life as on of the only civilized countries in the Middle East region.

Palestine was actually the home place of the Jews. But after many invasions they were driven out of their place and they migrated to many places.Finally it came under the control of the Ottoman empire.In 1880's the Palestinians in Europe decided to reclaim their homeplace. However during that time 95 percent of the population was Muslim( supported by the Arabs) and very few Christians and Jews. In 1917 the British took control of the place and gave contradictory assurances to both the parties. However during the world war (2 i think) the Palestinians started immigrating illegally into Palestine and their popu in Palestine was significant. The British proposed a division which was rejected by both and since then started the conflict
