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.

Because the Jews in Israel love land way more than peace. It has nothing to do with Religion-it's all about greed, war and intolerance.

because we always support the passive underdog...israel is not calling for the extermination of arabs..is it..???..if the arabs would go about their business without bothering israel or supporting terrorists that want to annihilate it, they might be able to get along better with us...why all this WE have to get along with THEM..?? getting along is a 2 way street

After WW II, and what happened to the Jews because of Nazism, many countries felt it would be politically advantageous to give the Jews their own country and put it in modern-day Israel.  Which at the time was inhabited by Palestinians.  So you can imagine why the Palestinians feel slighted when they had no say in what they saw as their own land being given away.  So they did what humans often do and attacked Israel.\n\nNow the Jews of Israel didn't really see this as they took the land, the land was given to them.  And so they saw Palestine attacking them and the defended themselves, basically these wars were two groups of people defending themselves from actions they saw as attacks by the other group.  These wars created strong feelings of hate, especially when Israel took the Gaza strip in the Six Day War of 1967 and refused to give it back when the war was over.  Israel saw it as an aggressive war by the Arabs (I'm not sure the countries except for sure Egypt, Palestine, and Syria; I believe Iraq and Iran, Yemen and a few others were in it against Israel, which fought by itself), and when they won and took the land, they felt it rightfully theirs.  Arabs saw it as a war to retrieve what was theirs (Israeli land) and felt it wrong when more of the land they were on was taken.\n\nSo there will likely always be fighting until the last days of this system humans have set up and God comes to fix things.  Or if you happen to believe in evolution, the fighting probably will never end until something huge happens, bigger than the current wars we see there.

Because Israel knows how to pull the strings and do extensive "under the table" work.\n\nIsrael is the result of extremist Zionist ideology.\n\nExtremism doesn't last. That's my word of advice for them.

well fo sure ........nobody knows. but the most likely reason can be to gain international respect vis-a-vis united states as it happened in the case of india . also to have a dominating position in the midle east given its complex geopolitical situation and also have an upper hand with respect to israel. dont forget israel also has nuclear weapons but nobody is concerned about that.........

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.

Because Palestinians want it all. Then Israel would have to fight for freedom.

Because it is a democratic state with Western values in the middle of the Middle East.  Israel is the only democratic country that grants equal civil liberties to women and religious and ethnic minorities.  And it's filled with Jews! Yuck!  The fact is that more Israeli Arabs think that Israel is better than other countries compared to Israeli Jews! (See http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1137605866664&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull)\nBut it's not even the Jewish thing, as much as the fact that Israel, and the US, symbolize the West and corrupt values to fundamentalist Muslims.

Probably because the Brits didn't do it.  The whole world voted to return Israel.  No "Palestineans" were displaced.  The Jews were already on the site and had their own lands.

IT is about time someone spoke up,and thanks for your courage.Under the protection of the united states Israel has behaved so badly in it's dealing with its enemies.When one objects to their inhumane behavior,they raise the antisemitic flag.This is supposed to quell opposition to their actions.

Because the Bible that the USA was founded upon says that you are not to "mess" with Israel, and it was their land and taken from them. \n\nJust my view, the actual political reason they give, I don't know.

Well, the land was won by Israel after they were ATTACKED by Egypt, Syria, and Jordan.  Due to the ancient rite of war it's their land.  And obviously you haven't paid any attention to the news since Israel has given control of the land that they won back to the Palestinians
