Southern Israel under attack by Gaza rockets

Israel is about 8000 square miles in size.

What right did France, Russia, and Spain have to sell us millions of square miles of land that did not belong to them?

Exactly,... my point. I think we're kinda saying the same thing in the dark and not honestly clear on how close we are on this one point!

"Especially israel!"

So you are okay with a United States of Arab with Jerusalem as the capitol?

I'm saying that many of the world's countries were formed or expanded on land that others live on, either by purchase, result or aftermath of war, or by political decree.

But you feel only Israel should be eliminated.

[flyboy56]

My understanding of Israel's history is that they were taken into captivity by Egypt. Palestinians were a nomad tribe who settled on Israel's land after they were taken. Over the years Israel has been returning to claim the land they believe is theres. Israelis are willing to share this land with the Palestinians which they are right now in West Bank. It is the extreme Arabs who refuse to share this land or even recognize Israel as a nation. So why do you believe Israelis do not have a right to live in their promised lands?

Well I wouldn't go that far floyboy! I'm and advocate of fairness, not stupidity! But I'm definitely okay with the original intent of the agreement between the British and the peoples of the region (or the powers representing the peoples of the region) to transition out of British colonial rule and into peaceful regional Independence! Yeah,... I'll take that all day. That is the path to True Peace in that neighborhood. Then again,... maybe not! We would prolly see a resurgence of jewish based terrorism again. The same terrorist behavior they exhibited to bring about the state israel in the first place. Man would that be ironic, seeing the israelis behaving that the very people they call savages now! LOL! Most of us are too young to remember them as the Original post WWII terrorists in the region. We can only go by the politically seasoned sentiments being fed to us in the west. Man,... what comedy that would be. The civilized israelis resorting once again to terrorism to achieve their political wants and desires. Blowing up hotels and assassinating foreign dignitaries and elected leaders,... the whole gambit of popular terrorist activities. Let's be clear about this fellas,... without the israelis embracing terrorism in the 40's, there'd be no state of israel today! We'd be watching CNN telling us that yet again some movie star has entered drug rehab or another pop figure just sued for divorce, or stuff like that.

I have to wonder what the US promise to Egypt for this recent cease fire?

Most of the Middle East (including the Egyptians) is cheering on Israel behind closed doors, secretly hoping that they take care of these dogs once and for all.

If Egypt actually cared about them (or any other vast large ME nation for that matter) they would cede them some land and solve the "problem" but of course, the land is not the issue to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, it's those Joooooooooos and the fact that they still breathe air.

Evidently, someone forgot to notify the locals.

An opinion from someone else I thought would be interesting:
The US is ill-equipped to be a power for peace in the Middle East. It’s a conflict of interest because we are too tilted towards Israel to deal fairly with the Palestinians. The people see this and the world knows this. One would wish that we were impartial, but sadly, that’s not the case. Of all the nations on earth, the US scapegoats the Arabs in general and the Palestinians in particular, the most. This fact is clearly pointed out in polls after polls. This country almost always stands up for the underdog. Uniquely, in Israel, this is not the case. We are brainwashed from birth to follow this ungodly folly as the foolish folks followed Jim Jones to Guyana. Three hundred and four children were led as lambs to the slaughter. I suggest that as much as ninety-nine percent of what we lay at God’s feet is not of His making, doing or thinking.

Let’s say marauding gang comes out of nowhere and attacks your neighborhood, raping your women, slaughters your family and takes your home, telling you that their god told them to do it. How many millions of years would it take for you to accept it? Another question: Where on earth can a person abandon his home for some two thousand years and then come back killing people and destroying property claiming that he is justified because he wants his house back? I tell you that, nowhere on earth is this behavior acceptable, except in Palestine. It absolutely continues to baffle me that so called intelligent people can believe that God is this inept. Surely, it is true that ignorance is bliss. Otherwise, I beg people to study all things and prove all things, which is a wise saying from the Bible.

A rare, excellent and refreshingly honest post on these boards. Thank you.

No, the locals were quite aware.

[WKDWZD]

Turkey or the British?

It was "The British Mandate for Palestine". Read and comprehend those words. The British did not 'own' Palestine, they simply administered it.

The Jews never owned it.

Your summary of British history isn't relevant to the majority international vote for UN General Assembly Resolution 181.

First goes Israel then the rest of the western world infidels. The Arabs will eventually push out the US from the ME cutting the western world off from the much needed oil. A domino effect. Arab spring has embolden the Arabs and they now see a real chance at unification. Our Navy is now being threatened at Bahrain as we speak. If we lose that we will lose our strong hold into the middle east.

You have a ridiculously most skewed understanding of Israel's history. If I were you, I'd give up posting until you, at least, make an elementary study of the subject.

[flyboy56]

The problem with your recollection of Israel's history is you refuse to go back to the Biblical days. Do you really think Israel's history started with British colonization in the M.E.?

And this would be bad for us, why?

And who is us?

Going back to biblical times, the Israelites were just a bunch on nomads or gypsies, there never was an 'Israel' until the Brits and the UN gave it to them, out of Palestinian territory in 1947. Those mate, are the plain and simple facts

[flyboy56]

So you really have never heard of the Promised Lands? Is this like all fairy tale stories to you? You really need to go further back in history if you really want to know the entire history of Israel.

Promised to whom by whom? Can I see the contact, or promisary note?
