totally agree with you . Israel is nothing but a rotten land filled with filthy creatures.\nAmericans are just nurturing them on american tax payer money.\nIsraelies cannot live on their own so to protect them they need american military and soldiers who can fight for them with their life.

I'm not sure on your facts, but I do believe Israel is just as mush to blame as Palestine over the violence taking place there. Israel should have never been formed without consent from the people who were living in the region already. If the Ottoman Empire had kept up with western Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries, there never would have been such a strong European presence in the region, the Zionists could have never pressured European leaders into forming the Israeli state, and there would be one less problem in the world.

Because when Israel was created by the British pull out somewhere after ww2. The land prior to that was known as Palestine the land was annexed and given to the Jews and renamed Israel.. The Palestinians still consider it their land  so they created the PLO to try and take it back .\n\n      I am a neutral person and I know depending on who you ask the other side is responsible. I believe there is a great deal of fault on both sides of the conflict.\n\n     I did a UN tour in Israel and am in no way an expert but I am  neutral .I can say that neither side is Innocent..\n \n     I sent you a site to at least show the chain of events leading up to today.It covers this century.. I hope it helps. The real conflict has been going on since biblical times\n\nhttp://www.masada2000.org/historical.html

what some of the others neglected to tell you is that there is such a bitter hatred of jews among arabs that they can't stand the idea of there being a jewish state at all.  The particular land wasn't that important to the palestinians (a misnomer because there really is no nationality) it was because jews were there.  The other arab states don't even want the so called palestinians.  There could be peace if these people would live in peace.  The Israelis want it but they will no longer tolerate terrorism or a threat to their security.  Can you blame them? \nJust for the record..I am not a jew and I do not hate palestinians.  I pray they can find a way to live in peace.

There are two different schools of thought in the Arab world regarding Israel (on a large scale, I'm sure there are individuals who don't ascribe to either).\n\n1) Hamas, et al- Destroy Israel all at once.\n\n2) Fatah, et al- Through diplomatic means return to pre- 1967 borders, then destroy the rest of Israel.  (The "doctrine of Phases")\n\nThis was never a secret.  Fatah officials repeatedly stated that this was their view openly, on the radio, for many years.\n\nAfter a while, they realized that if they kept saying it openly, they would never get the diplomatic concessions that they were seeking, so they stopped saying that they would use the return to pre- 67' borders as a stepping point to destroy Israel, but continued to insist on being given such a concession.

orthodox Jews do not oppose the state of Israel, They support it. There is a very small group who do oppose it because they feel the state should be restored through the messiah.  They are an extreme minority though.

Please do not take what this govt. does to be the will of the people.  Most of what happens inside and outside of this country is done by secret deals among the powerful.  Most of us detest what the Israelis are doing to their neighbors, and what their neighbors are doing to them, but our national policy is part of a deal most of us are ignorant of .  If you ask Americans, they are upset over a problem here of illegal immigration.  These are people who are not legal citizens who take up residence here to work, get paid, and then usually go back home.  The Jews moved in, forced everyone else out,confiscated the land, and established an army second to none, funded largely by the United States Government, and proceeded to enforce their will on the area.  If that happened here, the uproar would be every bit what exists where you are.  But, due to some clever propaganda on the public, we cannot see this clearly, and don't empathize with the Arabs at all, mostly blindly supporting our government's policy.  Israel was a bad idea that will haunt us all for a long time, maybe even being the cause of international war.  We here would love it to be otherwise, that everyone there would just get along.  That does not appear to be a likely  possibility.  And you are right, the longer it goes on, the more people in the Middle East will blame us.

My thought is that Israel will attack Iran if it continues it's drive for nuclear weapons.  But it will attack beforehand, not after they have nukes (they attacked Iraq in this manner years ago).\n\nJMorritz asks why Israel is not treated as a rogue state, so I'll answer that.  Israel has never intentionally targeted innocents (as opposed to Arab terrorists, who actively seek civilian targets such as markets and busses).  Israel is willing to establish diplomatic relations with any Arab in thNation, however few are willing to return such an offer.\n\nYou want to know how bad things are for Israel?  Despite bordering no European nation, the international soccer association (FIFA) has Israel classified as in Europe, because countries in the nearby area refuse to play them.  You think that's Israel's wish?  Nope.

This is because Israel is a country that was established by Zionists who are mass-murderers and known world-wide thugs who believe that Palestine is thier country based on thier extremist Jewish beliefs.\n\nThey also believe that all now Jews are "Goyim" as in dispensable.\n\nI have many Jewish friends, even they complain to me about what the Jewish people in Zionistan (Israel) do daily to the poor Palestinian people who are fighting to defend themselves from the Jewish Extremism robbery.\n\nBrief History of this Zionistan (Israel):\n\nThe Territory known today as Occupied Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire Federal State of the Levant or Bilad Al Sham. \n\nAt the end of WWI, the war's victors occupied this region and divided it in 1919 in a famous treaty called the Sikes-Picot Treaty. They Divided the Ottoman Federal State of the Levant into 4 Separate Regions which they called Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Trans-Jordan (Present Day Jordan).\n\nDuring the period between 1919 and 1948, those sectors were ruthlessly occupied by the British and French armies and anyone who resisted was tortured and brutally killed. \n\nBaron Rothschild, Along with The Elders of Zion in Europe, and other financiers, worked VERY hard on convincing the British Government to "give them" the occupied sector of Palestine. This sector was of course controlled by Great Britain, while the French controlled the Lebanese and Syrian Sectors. \n\nAfter doing a lot of "under the table" work, the British Foreign Minister, Balfour, Broke International Law by promising the Zionist Extremist Jews the Sector of Palestine which it was "Mandating" at the time.\n\nThe Zionist Jews worked hard on getting as many Jews from Europe and Russia during those years and even called those movements as "Aaliyah's". The Aaliyah's were not that frequent at first. It was hard to recruit Jews and convince them into leaving their homes in Europe to go live on Palestinian people's lands. \n\nThen came ADOLF HITLER. \n\nThat man killed Millions of his own people through wars and reckless invasions all over the European Region. He believed that he belonged to a SUPER RACE, the Aryan Race. In the process, he killed many Gypsies, Jews, Russians and other ethnicities to "Cleanse The Lands". Those evil attacks that were carried out by this German Head of State for the first time convinced Jews in LARGE NUMBERS, to accept the Extremist Jewish Ideologies that claim that God Promised them (The Chosen People) a promised land (Occupied Palestine). So, whether out of real belief in this claim, or due to absolute desperation, the poor Jews immigrated from Europe and started to colonize empty slots of land in Palestine in large numbers during the end of the 30's and the early forties. \n\nThen, the Extremist Elements in the European Jewish Immigrant Population established the mightiest Terrorist organizations Palestine ever witnessed. The ARGON and the HAGANAH. Those Terrorist Organizations, composed mainly of RIGHT WING JEWISH SUPREMISTS, started a horrible war of aggression on the Inhabitants of the British Mandate Palestine sector. \n\nThose inhabitants, both Muslim and Christian, in Palestinian cities like Nazareth, Jerusalem, Nablus, Gaza, Khan Younis , Haifa, Jaffa, Lod, and Rafah were not at all prepared for such a massive onslaught by WWII hardened Jewish combatants. On top of that, the Jewish Terrorists had used their mafia connections to get guns in from Europe, especially from Eastern Europe to slaughter the inhabitants of the Palestinian sector who only had single round shotguns as the only means of defense.\n\nOf course there where Palestinian Leaders, such a Abdul Kadir Al Hussieny and others, who were resisting the British Occupation to declare Palestinian Independence, much like Syria and Lebanon and Jordan and Arabia and Egypt and Libya and Algeria and Tunisia and Iraq (all Arab countries) declare

The Jewish Entity "Known as the State of Israel" is not a Democracy, it's an Aparthied state because it is based on pre-determined preferences and settings and is constructed on occupied Palestinian land. Number one, if you're Jewish, you can immediatly get citizenship and set up shop, and run a more than normal life. But if you're not Jewish, i.e., if you're a Palestinian Christian or Muslim, you would be denied many rights, especialy if you're from the two occupied regions of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, they you HAVE no rights over there, the Israeli elected government would shoot you down on suspicion alone.\n\nThis is very similar if not worse than the South African Aparthied.\n\nSo, Zionist politics is designed to serve one purpose and one purpose alone, and that is to protect one of the greatest thefts of all times, the theft of Palestine and to hush hush on it as if it was alright.\n\nI recently asked an Israeli associate, I asked her, If the Arab Israelis want to establish a Majority government, would you allow them to rule Israel? to which she responded: "NEVER! THIS IS A JEWS ONLY STATE"... i guess that sums it up. Israel is not a democracy, it's a theocracy trying to disguise itself as a democarcy, but it fools only those who CAN be fooled, i.e. the uneducated or those who refuse to see the light.\n\nKuLock: Your answer is far away from reality. Every Jew in the world who wants to make money and run away from Poverty immigrated to Occupied Palestine. Those people ran Jewish terrorist Organizations like the Haganah and the Argon, who were horrible in thier crimes, look em up, they would enter Palestinian towns and villages and kill everyone, even the baby in the woman's womb. Palestinians have lived there for thousands of years and it's all documented in Britain, Istanbul and all the old capitals. It's Zionists who claim the pathetic lie that the land was people-less for a stateless people, this is a lie you could have pulled 50 years ago, but everyone knows it's a propaganda lie now, just like Hitler's proclamation that Germans were a super or special race. All lies on top of lies, suit yourself and enjoy those lies demise. :)\n\nShalom.

The problem with that idea comes from restraint.  Not all governments have it.\n\nThere are many countries in the Middle East that have said that Israel has no right to exist and it should be wiped off the face of the Earth.  Seeing as how many of them believe that if they were doing Allah's will when they die, they will be rewarded, they may not hesitate to do "Allah's will" by unleashing nuclear weapons against Israel.

Let's recall that Israel did not exist until post-WWII when Europe took it over as a homeland for the people of Jewish faith living in Europe.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine\n\nIt also refers to the entire region - Israel, Egypt, Syria and Jordan.

First of all, The phony satellite nation calling itself "Israel" has nothing to do with the Biblical people called Israel. Yes! You lazy and worthless Christians who will not study to show thy self approved, Israel is a people, not a nation. The "Jew" is not the Seed of Jacob, but of Esau.\n Well in 1948, the British went in and killed the palestinians and renamed Palistine "Israel" then the British (suffering from a delusion called "British Zionism") and the American Zionists transported thousands of..I call them worthless trailer trash from all parts of the world...you call them what you want..to "Israel" at tax-payer's expense! and they remain today, the Largest Welfare state in the World.\n That is all I owe you.\nThe Scriptures are not for the Swine or the Dogs, but read Rev.2:9 if you are so inclined.\n No apologies to anyone!

You are severely misinformed.  Israel is the only non-Muslim nation in the Middle East and it is the smallest.  Everyone else is bigger and against them.  Jewish pride!\n\nADDITIONAL UPDATE: The Palestinians do not have a recognized "country"  they live in the occupied areas.  Israel was officially recognized as a nation in the late 40s by the world...  The Gaza Strip (the 10% you are referring to) is not a country.  It is within the NATION OF ISRAEL!  Simple history and geography...  Also, in every war or conflict when one side attacks another there will usually be a counter move.  In a conflict does it even make sense to stay and get hit????  No, you strike and dodge the incoming counter attack.  Please, before you go bashing on Israel understand the situation more fully.  For instance...do you even have a clue about the Balfour Agreement?  Probably not...and it's probably the most important moment in turmoil for the Middle East and the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.  As for the Reigning Queen comment below...do you honestly think that anti-Semitic comments will win anything?  No, what it can get you however is the enduring respect of thousands of Neo-Nazi bigots who are following the failed ideas of a man who not only DID NOT succeed in killing us but who also had the guts to commit suicide...yeah, great leader.  \n\n    Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad.
