Wasn't it a great& dangerous mistake by Britain&France to invent&strengthen a zionist regime !?

Where else were the Jews going to go? It's not like, "oh man, if we go to the Middle East, they're really going to hate us" was their prime concern. *Everybody* hated them from the time they started the Zionist movement in the 19th century no matter where they went! The Brits, French, Germans (obviously) - think of a time when Jews weren't getting picked on or chosen as the leaders of a conspiracy. Yeah, tough question.\n\nAt least this way they have a military, so that attacking Jews now gets you a prompt NATO-supported smack-down.

In view of the fact that it has been widely known that Bush has been planning to 'invade' Iran for about 3 years now, nothing is a surprise to me.  \n\nNothing surprises me about Israel's actions as I am increasingly getting the impression that they are simply a 'state' of the USA out on a limb [bit like UK are becoming - and I'm British!]  Both USA and Israel are in contravention of UN demands and International Law.  Israel beat the **** out of Lebanon weeks ago - they blasted the country into the ground and ruined its infrastructure and developing tourist industry.  Now they have started shelling Palestinians again - it's shameful and you have to ask how they get away with it - all the time!  I'm not surprised these poor people have turned to 'terrorist armed forces' for their defence - Israel is the most technically advanced and well equipped fighting force in the Middle East and they constantly abuse the human rights of the Lebanese and Palestinian people.

The French are one of the main countries that were helping arm Saddam and making illegal oil deals with him while he was under sanctions from the UN.I think you should find out what your own country has been up to before you comment on mine.

because is did cease to exist when the UK led the movement to make it into Israel.  Before that, there was a Palestine.  saying it never existed and erasing it from the maps does not mean it never existed

United States and Israel have been like Siamese Twins since the UN created Israel in 1948.  Of course, deep within Israel there is hatred for the US and the Israeli controlled media in the US blackmails those who do not follow the party line.  Don't forget the infiltration by the Israeli Mossad - on the order of the barbarians infiltrating the Roman Empire before Odoacer sliced the last Roman Emperor in half....  History always repeats itself....

Historically or Biblically? This area has been occupied more the a Greyhound bus terminal toilet. If you mean during the last 100 years, Isreal was created by land taken from Arab farmers. When Palestine was still a British protectorate, Jewish terrorists organized groups to blow up train tracks, power stations and government installations(sound familiar) When the state of Isreal was declared, paniced Arab farmers fled the region and Jewish settlers took over their lands. These farmers settled in Syrian, Lebanese and Jordanian refugee camps which became known as the Palistinian problem. More land was taken over after a series of almost comical wars(where the US military supplied and backed the state of Isreal defeated all Arab states) occupied those lands run over during the wars and did not attempt to give them back until recently. What caused this? Collective world guilt over the Holocaust, the common belief at the time that the general Arab population of that area were just ignorant and itinerant farmers that had no real right to the land, a Zionistic , and sometimes hysterical approach of Jewish settlers in the 60's and 70's along with the generally unsupportable stance of many successive US governemnts has led to the intolerable situation that we see today. The Gov. of Isreal, the US Gov. The UN, the British as well as the intransigient position of the Arab world where Isreal is concerned has led to this mess. The world should back off and let those in the area determine their future.

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.

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

Giving Palestine to the Jews after WW2, was a mistake, hasn't worked out, and should be recognised as such.\n\nThe policy of the USA leaders isn't helping matters, without their support peace will never be possible.\n\nWe need a revolution in the USA first before anything else can happen\nHopefully with the increasing national debt, dependency on and shortage of oil, and the worsening living standards of poor Americans ,the revolution wont be far off

The truth is Israel was founded on the auspices of the UN, strongly supported by USA and the UK. All subsequent foreign policy has been therefore to shore up that decision.

Elizebeth- All the sheepherders would disagree with that.  Let Israel put up a wall.  Every suicide bomb that the Palestinians use Israel destroys a Palestinian village.  Sooner or later the Palestinians would back down

oh please. I'm so tired of "Israel defending herself" as opposed to "Palestine defending herself." They've been fighting for decades! They'll be fighting for decades to come. Israel claims they were given the "Promised Land" which just so happens to be land that the Palestinians inhabit. I'm tired of all of this Promised Land" nonsense just as I am tired of hearing about the so-called "Chosen People"..ALL of God's children are Chosen. All of them. Not just Jews! How do we know the land was promised anyway? Were there other "promises" made AFTER this so-called promise? I just read an article which said that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. The same article said that 6 million OR MORE other people were killed also (other "undesirables, who WERE NOT Jewish!)\nyet we never hear about them. I used to feel a lot of sympathy for Jews. Now I don't. They are NOT the only people who have undergone horrors! \nAnd they are not a democracy. \nThey don't know who they are.

That this case is old does not solve the problem. There is no legitimacy for Israel identity in Islam world. They are completely new nation. Even they don't have certain race. One from Russia other from Iran other from England etc. Isn't it funny? These people have answered above are trying to say that to oppose each other is not a good idea. That maybe right and I am agree more or less. But the reality doesn't change. The reality is that there were Jews in England and they were almost reach, supported by England government and start campaign for Zionism. The Israel is a racist country too. Look at Arabs and Daroozis inside Israel. How they are behaved. They kill daily a few Palestinians and they killed their leaders like Ahmad and Rentisi. In Islamic world opinion there is no reason for "defending" Israel at all. They were cruel not Palestinians. They have occupied a soil, not Palestinians.

ISRAEL IS STUPID !! ISREAL should gather palestinians in one large camp and drop a large nuke on their head and exterminate the problem .if situation was reversed and palestinians had the power they would kill every jewish , man , woman and child .

Moot question.... *NO* Arab country has *ever* made such an offer. In fact they have *repeatedly* rejected resettlement of *any* of the Palestinians.  Nor is it likely at all that such an offer *ever* will be made. If it were possible I'm sure the Jews would *gladly* pay for the Palestinians to go. Wouldn't you pay to keep your children safe from idiots?
