They shouldn't. The state of Palestine within the country of Transjordan was part of the Ottoman Empire and they lost it as a result of allying themselves with Germany during WWI. Iraq became a British protectorate and the subsequent Balfour Agreement partitioned Palestine to establish a Jewish homeland.

Nothing noble about it. No one wanted to open their doors to the Jews. So they were given a chunk of land nobody gave a crap about up to that point.

Regardless that, Israel has been a nation since 1949. End of story. They have a right to exist and the xenophobes who think otherwise are the ones who have to change and by force, if necessary.

Was it the case then that the Ottomans were actually occupying Palestine? I mean like the Ottomans were occupying Arabia (as in Lawrence Of).

Doesn't matter whether the Ottomans were occupying, or allied to Palestine. Under the rules of the day, to the victor went the spoils of war. Attempting to judge history then by today's standard is intellectually dishonest.

The land was forfeit to the UK by League of Nations mandate. Bottom line: when you choose the wrong side in a war, your ass is pwned.!:laugh2:

What are asking? Follow your question to its logic conclusion. If you "ask" palestine, then why weren't the palestines occupying the hebrew land?

IMO, nobody has a right to any land. Unless, God promises it. A Jew on a muslim site once enlightened me: (paraphrase)

Even the jews don't "own" the land. No one has a "right" to the land. It is just land after all. G-d owns the land. (jews do not spell God's name)

It wasn't a cunning debating point :laugh2: it was a question :coffee:

One of the ironies about all this is that - from the British perspective - it was the Left in Britain after WWII which pushed for a homeland for the Jews. I have a paperback by Harold Laski (published in the 1940s) which, among other things, argues the case for a Jewish homeland from the point of view of the Left. And now the Left has for many years championed the cause of the Palestinians (well, not "the Left" as such but many on the Left).

And the good thing to come out of a bad choice by the Ottoman Empire was the impetus is gave to political reform in Turkey and allowed Mustafa Kemal - Attaturk - to form the secular republic. Silver linings and clouds I suppose.

Politics makes strange bedfellows. While I'm sure the bleeding hearts were behind the cause, so were the antisemites. Xenophobia had as much to do with Israel as any good will. Nobody wanted to open their doors to "dem chews."

Sorry, but Israel by no means fits the definition "terrorist state." Palestine however, is governed by a world-reknowned terrorist organization.

We support the former because they are in the right and we don't support the latter because they're lying murdering scumbags.

Simple enough, or you have questions?

No, I don't feel Israel is a terrorist state because it does not fit the definition of one. I don't need the news to tell me that. Palestine does, I don't need the news to tell me THAT.

We should support Israel since it is a democracy and we should condemn Palestine for being a terrorist state.

There's nothing real hard hear to understand, no can you blame it on the "news." The facts speak for themselves.

I'm just wondering how a liberal justifies making such statements about Israel, when if it was black person moving into a white neighborhood and being attacked for it in THIS country she'd be screaming discrimination at the top of her lungs.

Israel was created by the west (Britain specifically) and filled with mass emmirgrating EURO jews who expelled the palestinian population who had lived there for thousands of years.

I dont have a problem with a jewish state, but I do have a problem with victimizing a whole group of people to do it...thats genocide. Wiping out an entire group of people and destroying their community to replace them and take their land over as your own is genocide and certainly is terrorism.

If there are any people out there who should have given up land to make a jewish homeland possible it should have been Germany (due to the crimes against jews they committed, ie the genocide), Britain (because it supported the move materially so if they REALLY support it they should only have the right to give up what really belongs to them to do so) and the US (for the same reasons given for Britain).

I also suspect that the west was soooo willing to do it in the middle east because it was a great way to get rid of the jews and it was also a great way to gain a foothold in the middle east and used the jews as the cannon fodder to accomplish it.

Not an accurate analogy. If you are to be accurate you would have to say MASS immigration supported by a powerful foreign entity and have the blacks state the goal that... they are going to create a BLACK HOMELAND where we currently reside which means that the WHITES will have to be killed or driven off...but they will not be able to remain there. I do think it would be within our right to resist that sort of INVASION which clearly spells out its hostile intent to destroy the existing community in which we live.

The zionist movement was clear that there was no room for the current residents and were not coming to JOIN the community, they were coming to DESTROY it and replace it with their own. A very important distinction.

And who do you think expelled the jews? You think it was just the romans? You think the muslims did not kick anyone out? Let us get you some education padewan, Moohamdead first prayed to Jerusalem, know why? Because it is the JEWISH holy land/city. When jews said he was not their prophet he turned his back and prayed to Mecca. Then the muslims stole the land by force and then centuries later the jews BOUGHT the land back. Yes, read history before the balfour declaration and you will find that jews had already legally and freely purchased the land from the so-called palestinians.

funny that you woudl support their right to it, yet not the jews when also you fail to realize the land was lost in war because the ottoman empire sided with the losers.

I suppose you could argue the English were a bit more cunning than back when Edward I expelled all Jews from his kingdom. But I think the British Left were actually driven by a sense of humanity rather than prejudice. I don't think they were arguing for the Jews to be booted out. Laski was a Jew (non-observant), I don't think he was trying to get himself deported.

Remember it was the British aristocracy pre-WWII that thought Hitler was a jolly fine fellow and poor old Moseley was badly put-upon.

No, I think the Left were acting out of what they thought was right for the Jewish diaspora. However, the Law of Unintended Consequences kicked in later.

I'm not aware of anyone making this argument; if they are, it's not taken seriously. So it seems somewhat a distraction to spend time arguing over it, though obviously one is free to do so...

There's been an international consensus (minus the US and Israel) on what needs to happen to resolve the conflict for forty years; namely, a two-state arrangement along the '67 borders. On can argue over whether they like it or not (and both sides have plenty to say about it); the fact remains it is the closest thing to a realistic solution presently available.

Haven't heard of any liberals advocating the end of Israel. In fact, that would be rather odd since American Jews are themselves liberal as a group. If American liberalism advocated this I doubt Jews would continue to count themselves a part of it.

Also not aware of any Palestinian overtures to destroying Israel any time recent, either. This would also be odd, since they have zero means to accomplish it, rendering the issue irrelevant, anyway. No one in the region can hold a candle to Israel's military superiority, nuclear capabilities, etc. I mostly read the "we can't negotiate because they are going to destroy us" as a disinterest in negotiating at all, precisely because they enjoy a huge power advantage. Remember that last summer we were told that "Israel cannot afford to lose a single war" -- and when they lost the war the country was not meaningfully weakened except in their own expectations.

I think Israel can afford to make concessions, especially if that means adhering to the agreement that the rest of the world endorses. I also think it would make them much safer, if the safety of their citizens is of concern to their leaders, an open question in my mind.

The fact that they had been colonized by the ottoman empire dosent change their rights as a group and community/culture who lived there together for thousands of years and is the basis for any legitimate claim to being a "nation".

And who do you think expelled the jews? You think it was just the romans? You think the muslims did not kick anyone out? Let us get you some education padewan, Moohamdead first prayed to Jerusalem, know why? Because it is the JEWISH holy land/city. When jews said he was not their prophet he turned his back and prayed to Mecca. Then the muslims stole the land by force and then centuries later the jews BOUGHT the land back. Yes, read history before the balfour declaration and you will find that jews had already legally and freely purchased the land from the so-called palestinians.

funny that you woudl support their right to it, yet not the jews when also you fail to realize the land was lost in war because the ottoman empire sided with the losers.

You are talking of ancient conflicts and the truth of all that would be hard to verify. According to our lore of the times, the jews actually came after and also did conquering of that same land and then were later conquered themselves. It makes no difference though, no one gets to commit genocide based on ANCIENT claims against "groups of people" who have been dead THOUSANDS of years.

This as been discussed and haggled over for the last 20 years. There has always been one problems. The pals won't except anything except the total annihilation of Israel. The libs here want the same thing.


Actually the REVERSE is true. It is Israel who continues to EXPAND settlements and eat up more land making a 2 state solution impossible. They continue to develop very permanant settlements and are investing quite a bit of money and involves thousands and thousands of residents....to dismantle them would mean you would have to treat them as the zionists did the palestinians...drive them out by force and destroy them with violence. I doubt they will do this to their own jewish citizens.

It is Isreal who controls all the water, the movements of palestinians, even control much of palestinian tax revenues which they with-hold often (same with water), they bulldoze the homes and buildings of palestinians...all the while building more settlements.

why don't the arabs solve the palestine question themsleves....

No, what you really asking is for the rest of the arab states to HELP Isreal by just absorbing the palestinian people and thereby completing the genocide. Palestinian life and culture will cease to exist, palestinians will cease to exist as a nation and as a political entity, they will be destroyed completely.

You want the arab states to solve it by completing Isreals genocide for it and leaving the rest of the west bank and gaza for Israel.

IMHO that is the big Arab lie (or should i say Muslim). They will make SURE that the Palestinian issue is never resolved. They thrive on it. Much like they thrive on their hatred for America.

Not true, they dont have any real power in the situation. It is Israel who wont allow it to end and they have a very specific goal in mind. They dont want the conflict end until they have taken it all...and they are quite close to that goal.

A new map of the West Bank (see below), 40 years after its conquest by Israel in the Six Day War, gives the most definitive picture so far of a territory in which 2.5m Palestinians are confined to dozens of enclaves separated by Israeli roads, settlements, fences and military zones.


Israel controls the water, it can easily relinquish control over palestinian water of which it really has no right to control. Israel has promised for decades to rectify the situation, yet it has only gotten WORSE.

Israel could stop expanding settlements, but it keeps building them...

Israel could stop taking more palestinian land for their wall, they could stop cutting farmers off from their own farms, they could stop destroying farms and olive trees (which are must of what palestinians live on), they could stop stealing olive trees and replanting them inside Israel etc..

Those are the things that really keep the conflict going...but as long as the conflict continues, it gives Israel the oppurtunity to TAKE MORE until they reach the day when they HAVE IT ALL. It is Israel who is willing to risk and endanger the generations it takes to pull this off.

The US also aids the power Israel has and helps them remain in a posiition in where they dont HAVE to compromise or cooperate, a position in where they DESIRE to continue conflict because there will be a PROFIT result from continuing the conflict.

The palestinians have no choice, they must fight back to save themselves. Their only other option is to submit to the genocide.
