To see Israel as an innocent attempting to live peacefully in a neighbourhood of thugs requires intellectual dishonesty and to claim that the Israelis had their backs to the wall and were forced into the destruction, measured beyond all proportion, of property and human beings in Lebanon and Gaza requires the moral lassitude inherent in imperial civilization.\nHezbollah did not exist before the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon. The culprit then was the PLO, and then, as now, Israeli self-defence was the excuse behind a cynical attempt to destroy Palestinian nationalism and secure land for annexation in the West Bank. \nRecently, there were two daring attacks against military targets and Israeli soldiers were captured by Hamas and Hezbollah. These attacks happened because Israel and its patron refused to accept the results of the Palestinian election. \nOf course, before Hamas was elected, there was simply no partner for peace. Translation: There is no Palestinian leadership that will accept the injustice the Israelis want to impose.

There are about 70 resolutions that Israel ignores and refuses to apply ...\nHere is a list of those resolutions:http://www.action-for-un-renewal.org.uk/pages/isreal_un_resolutions.htm

To the first ignorant poster:  the United Nations, composed of several nations made Israel a nation.  People really need to learn history.  It might also interest the poster to learn that Israel might not have become a state if it weren't for the hatred shown to them after they tried to rightfully claim their very own homes after the Holocaust.\n\nThe British imposed a severe limit on immigration right after the war.  Many nations would not allow the Jews who were fortunate enough to survive to even reside in their very own countries!  There was no choice other than to make Israel a state.\n\nBefore pointing a finger at the Jews, look at the situation surrounding the issue.

I disagree with MrUSARocket man.\n\nWhat R U talking about man?\n\nThere wasn't an Israel B4 1948 so how can it B Jewish land?\n\nIt was Arab land & Israel has in it's short existance wiped out many an anicent Arab towns 4ever, never 2 B heard of Again.\nThe Brits, in the PITT accord, gave it away @ the end of the Second WW.  \nIf U took the time 2 educate Yourself, go find a old atlas from say the 1970's it clearly shows U that Israel was no where near Jerusalam.\nThat was gained fighting wars, wars the Arabs didn't want & handed over more land 2 the expanding Israel.  \nBecause they had no choice.\nFunny that, huh?

A short allegory of Israel:\n\nPretend that Israel is an apartment building.\n\nSome jews live there, some Arabs (Jordanians). Many empty nasty apartments.\n\nThe Health Department says you Jews need a place to live. Take these places, fix them up, live here.\n\nTired Jews move into vacant apartments, in spite of the hatred and attacks and murders by the Arabs (Jordanians).\nThem fix up the apartments, live quietly, and protect themselves.\n\nHealth Department comes by and says, good job, you can keep the apartments and the building itself.\n\nJews now own the building. Arabs (Jordanians) say "Oh my God, they will murder and kill and rob and rape us simply because we murdered and killed and robbed and raped them, how unfair!!"\n\nArabs (Jordanians) run away leaving vacant apartments.\n\nAbandoned apartments become property of the landlords (Jews) and are turned over to other settlers who move in.\n\nArabs (Jordanians) go to all other Arab countries and whine about reparations and poverty. Other Arab Countries kick them out.\n\nArabs (Jordanians) decide that they need a new image.\n\n"Hey!!! We're Palestinizers now! Palestinites? Palestonians? Palesturgers??? (Gets out Liberal Arab Talking Points Crib notes) Oh! Palestineans! Right. These mean thoughtless cruel non burkah wearing Jews have DRIVEN us from our ancestral lands in Palestan. Wait!! Palestine. Boo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo (are the cameras still on me?) Hoo. We are peaceful people so murder them, rape their women, crush their children, blow up their weddings, funerals, cafe's, busses, wait - don't hurt the furniture, we'll need that!"

i am very pro-israel but i think that you need to calm your tone otherwise you will not be taken seriously on this forum. criticising the british of today for not staying in palestine over 50 years ago is not constructive

Your comment has merit. The heavy handed approach, seems to do little more than spawn new generations of anti-Israel kids. To call them Nazi-like will earn you score and reproach. I would simply say that their approach does not seem to be working.

ofcourse they will not obey..so why you want Plestine people to obey?????... i understand you speak here about Isreal and Plestine...it is so complex problem...and i think almost the terrorism in the world now comes from this problem...i live in the middle east ...and i do not understand yet why Jews have the right in the land of the Arabic people...they think God give them the land of Israel just coz you are Jews?\nwhat about the rights of the Plestine people???\ni just want to tell you before the years of 1948 before they were given the land of Plastine...the Arbic Muslem people never fight or hate jews...that is historical fact ..and the jews used to live in the Arbic countries...the Westrian World supported you in taking Plastine coz they feel sin about what they did in jews..especially after the 2end world War...sorry they sow jews as a problem in their contries so they sent you away in the Middel East...and do not care that they make the most complex and bloody problem in the human modern history...a lot of people died and suffered becuse of this great problem ..and the blood still go on here in the Middel East..\nand please some one help me really if God really gave the land of Arbic Plastine to the Isreal can any one show me the contrect or the document of buying...????? \n?but Arbic people will never forget their land...even after 100 years i will not forget my home that was taken from me...never...by the way i do not hate jews...i just live in the mad Middle East....\nNOTE:some people tell a BIG LIES here about the the Plastine`s land was empty before 1948...but the dead bodies of the innocent people who were killed by the Ireal proves that this land was not empty....and that really so silly explanation to take the land of Plastine....is that a fair law.... any one find a empty land ..just take and pertend that it was your home that God gave it to you before 4000 years...what a silly lie...

No it is not offensive and you should protest that violation. You are well within your rights to call Israel a terrorist state based on the actions of the country since its conception. I hope you do not just accept this violation. This is no way an epithet or a slur, you are merely stating your opinion. Unless for some reason the country of Israel itself, turned into a person capable of using Yahoo Answers and is now asking and answering questions, then maybe they could be offended. In reality it was probably just someone who was offended by it and was like ohh that is so wrong.

for one soldier, yes, israel is retarded, fatah and hamas were just considered recognizing israel as a nation, then israel starts bombing the shit out of gaza, and not every one who lives in gaza is a terroist, their pissed at the israelis for stealing their land then locking them up in the most densely populated patch of earth on the planet. funny how the israelis are never called terroist when they murder innocent palestinian children

Of course...nothing new for Israel...\nSo many times Israel got away with murder because US has vetoed every single sanctions against it...So it is because of the support of US and the silence of UN...This is their idea of justice...\nWhile Israel's crimes are called "self defense",the Palestinians fighting for liberty will be called "terrorists"...because they don't have the full support of the most powerful country in the world:USA...\nNo one will ever accuse Israel of deliberately killing civilians.even if they do... Actually the excuse was "technical error".but of course Mr Olmert already told us that those kinds of errors "may happen " in the future...

It certainly is crazy that Olmert wants to kick JEWS out of JUDEA...but that's what the world wants. And Israel listens to the nations, even when doing so puts Jews in danger.

Dear derekmleiniger,\n\nYour analogy is totally wrong. Unlike English and other establishers of USA, Israelis started to kill the Palestinians grabbing their land and not ready to give any rights to them. The only reason that Palestinians are facing hard time is that they don't have any port and can't do business activities independently. \n\nWhile only reason Israelis look flourishing is the aid sent by the oversees Jews as well as hefty amount of $ 3 billion from US only.\n\nFollowing is an account of Israel's leaders, you can find it very different compares to people who came to US:\n\n\n\n"We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population."\n-- David Ben-Gurion, May 1948, to the General Staff.

There is a tendency to see the Israelis as the perennial victim because Hitler savagely butchered 6 million jewish souls.\nThis makes Israeli behavior in the occupied territories seem somehow less brutal than it is.\nFor information on this, amongst other sources, you might want to read the accounts of Israeli journalist Amira Haas on Haaretz newspaper.\nBut must 6 million Palestinians die before their plight is given the urgency that it needs?\nIsn't it a bit gross banking on the death of six million martyrs to forward political/territorial gains?\nI understand Palestinian anger,though I do not condone the violence.\nThe death of innocent people is never justified, no matter which side they are on.

its completely normal! It's a real country with freedom of press, religion, and the right to hold office for all its citizens, regardless of religion, ethnicity, race or whatever. The citizens of israel, yes including the 1,000,000+ israeli arabs enjoy more rights, privledges and freedoms than do any of their arab brothers in any of the 22 arab league nations.\nWhat is NOT normal is a continued 60+ year war by the 57 muslim nations against one tiny little jewish state

The stated cause of the invasion of Iraq was because it didn't obey the united nations, why should israel not have to. Oh, I forgot, Israel and the united states are allies and consequently can do whatever it likes to whoever it likes.
