your information is a little one sided. My knowledge of Israeli, Palestinian history is limited, but I seem to remember that the trouble started much earlier than 1948.

: the land that israel is on was taken from the palestinians in 1948 following a UN order to set up a state of israel to protect the jews from the holocaust ever happening again and to assuage american and english guilt over the fact they did little to stop the holocaust from happening

: following that, in the 60s the israels invaded and occupied palestinian territory, as frankly the land was a nicer and they wanted to build homes there.

: following this brief war, the United Nations passed resolutions that Israel should leave the occupied terrorities and return to their 1948 borders

: these resolutions have never been enforced

: is that oversimplified enough for you?


:
: : Both cultures have a right to that land. In the end they've been going about it the wrong way, and are too blind with hate to see it.

: : Still, bottom line. I'm with Israel. Terrorism has never worked. It will never work. All those zealots are killing themselves and many innocents for nothing. Israel is only doing what America would do, and has done, to protect its citizens.

: :
: : : palestinians are blowing themselves up because you stole their land in the sixties..

: : : do you

: : : a) give the land back

: : : or

: : : b) steal more and then get amazed when they blow themselves up with increased frequency?

: : : if you answered b) you are ariel sharon, congratulations, please pass go, please collect £200 and please collect a 'do what the fuck you like, signed george bush' card
