Do you think it was fair for for the Jews to take over Palestine?
481110
Yes. If they take over Palestine fully, then the problem will be solved once for all.  Or the entire middle eastern countries where there are problems for more than 5 years,  where there are so many terrorist problems, should be taken over for administration by the combined armed forces of US, UK, Germany, France, China, India, Japan and Russia, without any self interest by these countries.

Exists as a place for displaced Jews to settle after WWII.  Palestinians feel like it is there land and was stolen from them--thus the conflict.

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

it is a long story but here is the short end. back in ww2 the jews had decided they had enough of being persrcuted where ever they go. considering there was no such thing as the jewish nation. as you know the americans british and the french allied together to save the jews from the nazis. then popped in zionism. the british and the zionist banned together and took palestine. at the time there was no saudi arabia or jordan. the palestinian people never did agree to have their land taken from them but it was taken any ways. the palestinians were the majority obviously considering it is their land. they are killed every day. their houses were destroyed, their people were kicked out of their land and massive amounts of jewish people world wide came to live there. a true jew knows that israel is not theirs for the taken and there is a fight between zionist jews that do not follow the torah and the orthodox jews who DO follow the torah. http://www.nkusa.org/AboutUs/FAQs/protest020702.cfm here is a website showing the real orthodox jewish stand point. the palestinians do in deed take part in suicide bombings because they do not have any other way to defend themselves against tanks, machine guns, granaids, and other weaponry the israeli's have. orthodox jews are killed as well as the palestinians trying to stop the injustice. the suicide bombers do it out of desperation. it would be like you living in your home all of a sudden some people come into your house say this is their land and force you out. if yo resist they will kill you. so when a relative gets killed by the israelis well of corse they are to strike back. israel has a nuclear bomb. palestinians have NOTHING but some rocks and home made bombs. there are car bombings, bus bombings, etc.. in no way are these things alright to do when it comes to killing innocent life no matter who you are. the palestinians should sit back and wait until they become strong enough to fight back. but i am not in their posistion so i can not say. when i look at the zionist i hate their actions but i can understand to a point why they want to have a country of their own. they are tired of being persicuted where ever they go. christians have been killing them in mass numbers for centeries now. dated way back to one of the first popes. i know that according to islam they have a right to live where ever they want to live as long as they do it in a peaceful manner. muslims welcome the people in the website above. the ones that follow the torah the correct way. these are peaeful good hearted jews. but the jews who take israel by force knowing they are forbidden and are to follow the laws in which ever country they reside in and go against it will be judged which is stated in THEIR own book. so in conclusion which ever side you are on the whole war is about land!

If you were naive enough to believe what you hear on the news and media, you would think there is an entity called a "Palestinian people," who lived in a "country/state/area" called Palestine since Canaanite/Biblical/Muslim times. You would almost believe that the Israelis occupied "Palestine" in 1967. And you might even think that the Palestinians want the occupiers out of their land. And of course, you might feel, they are entitled to do whatever it takes to get their land back.  No?  No.  Not at all,  Here are the facts. \n\nWho are the Palestinians? Palestinians are Arabs. They have no historical, national or cultural identity distinct from other Arabs of the region. Most of them came into Palestine in search of economic opportunities after World War I when the British and the Jews began to build up a land that was moribund. \n\nWhat is Palestine? When the Romans conquered Judea, they renamed it Palestine. Since then, no occupying power ever made it an independent state or established a capital in Jerusalem. Under the Ottoman Empire, it was part of the province of Syria. \n\nAfter World War I, the area was mandated to Britain to establish a Jewish national home.  Instead, in 1922, Britain split off 75% of Palestine to establish the Emirate of Transjordan, as a throne for the Arabian Hashemite family. \n\nThe UN decided to split the remaining 25% of Palestine between Jews and Arabs.  In 1948, five Arab armies attacked the newborn State of Israel.  Transjordan annexed the area intended for an Arab state, and renamed itself the Kingdom of Jordan, calling the annexed area the West Bank.  Egypt took over Gaza.  No Arab suggested making the West Bank and/or Gaza into yet another Arab state until 1967, when Israel was again attacked by the Arabs and took these areas. \n\nWhether or not she chooses to exercise the right, Israel owns the West Bank by right of conquest and by biblical rights.  Before 1967, the last previous legal owner was the Ottoman Empire. And Turkey, heir to the Ottomans, has never asked for it back.

Don't get me started on this subject. I believe and some historians agree that the only true originals of that area of the world is the Palestinians every Jew is not genetically connect to the original people only religously.\nNotice most of the Jews that came back to "take back their land" came there from European countries. I have no problems with Jews at all but the facts are most Jews of wealth and knowledge were taken away by the Romans in the \ndays of Roman rule  inter-bred wth  the local people and convert some to Judaism.This is over 2000 years!\n The ones that stayed were invaded by others and eventually became Islamic and called themselves Palestinian.\nThe only reason the major countries of the world support Israel is because the Jews control the banking industry of the world.They got the money! I told you not to get me started.

Palestinians been living there since we know time.  Now there comes militans Zionst Jews claiming it was there land 5000 years ago.  Zionsts came with major fire power and snatched it away from Palestininans.  What if I came to your house and told you I used to own this land 5000 years ago and I have God given rights, what would you do?

After WW2, the UN proposed a seperate state for the Jews in Palestine. The Allied powers effectively drawed up various Arab states that were previously ruled by western colonial powers. Israel was meant for the Jews, and yes there was a seperate Palestinian state proposed. The Arabs had mixed feelings about a Jewish state, but most of the local Arabs in Palestine welcomed it. But what happened was that some of the Jewish militias started to sieze the already drawn up Palestinian lands and worst of all terrorizing and killing the local Arabs. Those militias had some powerful backup from abroad, especially in the US. Many of those backup organizations are non government organizations and many well known businesses. The militias fought for more land and resources and of course killing people, inlcuding children. Israel's first prime minister Ben Gurion once said   “We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.” That's what the Israelis did and still do so more efficiently. There are many powerful organizations in the US that observe every inch of content as to what is presented in the US media to the American public, so no one knows exactly what really goes on in the occupied territories in Palestine. So, my friend, it is Israel that occupies Palestine with full fledged US support and not the other way around. That is the truth and the whole truth. Peace be upon you.

let see in 1949 the Jewish nation was redrawn by the international community. then in the 1960's palestine and other middle east countries decided that the Jewish people should be driven into the sea. the nation of Isreal fought back and won driving the palestine people out. so they fought a war and won the land. if you live in Americia are you willing to give your house back to the native Americans? because that is what the argument boils down to.

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.

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

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.

Frankly, if I could pay Israelites to leave the West Bank, I would, as long as it is part of a broader peace agreement between Israel and Palestine. Peace is worth the price, although I would hope that Israel, Europe, and (ideally but improbably) Arab nations would chip in as well.\n\nHowever, if either side in this conflict could be bought off, the conflict would have ended a long time ago. I think that standing up for the Jewish state as a God-given mandate is probably more important to the West Bank settlers than money. And so the bloodshed continues...

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.

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.
