Nature law simply

It is far more simple situation here, it is just the only valid law in the universe, the most powerful rules. Without the US support the last Jew would have long ago been fish food for the Mediterranean fish. With the US support they can afford to continue living in the 'snake hole' which they assume to be by theirs. Throughout history superpowers come and go and when the US fade away as a superpower (just a matter of time, some even think that the first signs begin to show) i just hope that they are able to swim fast, really fast...
Have to credit them though, with the fact that they are still able to live with the fear that this day is coming! Whoever has ever talked with a Jew living in Israel knows well what i mean.
And just a question, how can they manage to be the most hated nation on earth, even by people that have never had anything to share with them? Sure not an easy task!

Boring religous discussions

Very booooring religious discussions.

Why can not the jews live in their native jewish home country of USA?

Why do they have to spread like flies around an corps in the middle east?

The good thing is that Israel and its citizens are the focal point of Islamic hate against the western world. I don't know what would happen to us peace loving Europeans if the sword of Satan disappeared from the middle east.

I do hope that this struggle will continue for ever, as we need an israeli state to harbor the criminal satanist of this world.

Regarding the laser guns, I hope they do install them, and that they work. So that we all can join in and agreeing that the only way to repent satan of this world is by a massive nuclear strike in Israel.

Best Regards,
Schlomo Bonnier

Ahem....

The Balfour Declaration, made in November 1917 by the British Government...was made a) by a European power, b) about a non-European territory, c) in flat disregard of both the presence and wishes of the native majority resident in that territory.

Namely, the Palestinians.

Could it be due to ""Britain's high commissioner for Palestine, John Chancellor, recommended total suspension of Jewish immigration and land purchase to protect Arab agriculture."...but the Jewish did not stop this.

Could it be due to ""The Zionists made no secret of their intentions, for as early as 1921, Dr. Eder, a member of the Zionist Commission, boldly told the Court of Inquiry, 'there can be only one National Home in Palestine, and that a Jewish one, and no equality in the partnership between Jews and Arabs, but a Jewish preponderance as soon as the numbers of the race are sufficiently increased.' He then asked that only Jews should be allowed to bear arms."

Could it be due to ""In 1948, at the moment that Israel declared itself a state, it legally owned a little more than 6 percent of the land of Palestine...After 1940, when the mandatory authority restricted Jewish land ownership to specific zones inside Palestine, there continued to be illegal buying (and selling) within the 65 percent of the total area restricted to Arabs.

Thus when the partition plan was announced in 1947 it included land held illegally by Jews,".

Well, given this state of sorry affairs, is it any wonder we Muslims and Arabs want what is our right (our property back). Something, which has been taken from the Palestinians for over 60 years.

Israelis claim to want peace but the daily builds of new settlements on OCCUPIED (not 'disputed') territories seems to negate Israels intentions. 

People say we Muslims hate the Jews and Israel.

No, we hate ZIONISTS and how Israel is allowed to ignore International Law.

mo is right

**Disclaimer Political post read with caution**

I think mo is right we need to car bomb them all before they suck the blood out of our children and use it in their zionist rituals. Its really self defense when you think about it, I mean its not like the zionist have a right to breathe.

**Disclaimer for the incredibly stupid**
I am in no way serious. I realize the complexity of the situation in palestine/isreal. However personally when given the choice between supporting a semi-free open democracy with a free press or supporting a backwards despotic regime attempting to perpetuate a system that rewards dissent with murder. I will choose the democracy every time, but hey thats just me. Lets say I'm a hopeless optimist.

Who stole who's land?

The land belongs to Israel. Israelis have gone out of their way to live in peace, but radicals among the Arabs have prevented that since the early '20's. If aliens arrived and shoved Arabs out of the Arabian penninsula and took Mecca as an alien holy site, then Arabs would pine for as long as it took for history to allow them to return. Jews have returned. Our cousins, the Arabs, should live in peace alongside Israelis. I'm tired of radicals attacking Israel after Israel left Arab majority territory that wasn't part of ancient Israel (i.e. Gaza) but no way should Israel give up rights to Jerusalem and ancient Jewish territory. The Babylonians are gone. The Romans are gone. Someday Hamas will be gone too. Then, God willing, everyone can live in peace.

Lawsuit is not intended to win

That lawsuit is much like Ron Paul running for US president; it's to get ideas out, not to actually win. 

(I hate writing long posts, but this last comment... )

In response to that comment above, guy doesn't know what he's talking about, or intentionally omitting quite a bit of history.

Palestinian lands were not stolen; from the 19th century zionist colonists emigrated from Russia and Europe into Palestine; they bought the land while it was cheap (they were sold it by the landowners because it was poor for farming.) 

Over half a century the communal settlements built irrigation system, and emigration from Russia pre-WWI resulted in more Jews coming over. 

The land wasn't cheap anymore, and sicne after WWI, many landowners wanted back the land that they sold and so the Mufti of Jeruselem and others incited good old fashioned pogromsamong the arab popualtiom, which had lived rather peacefully with the jews for some time.

The mufti also protested Jewish immigration into Palestine as so many people had settled by that time that the arabs were a minority in some parts of modern israel, and many resented this fact.

After WWII, the earlier British resolution to allow Israel to exist was passed; even Russia supported it despite widespread anti-semitism apearing under Stalin (who later decided that he would send off all the Jews to siberia, and died a week or two later.)

But britain passed the resolution knowing that the Jordan and Egyptian armed forces would take over, who did indeed attack. They lost and the two resistance groups in Israel decided to take land at the borders to prevent invasion; they afterwards offered Palistinians who supported the attack to return by they feared reprisal. They refused to live in Israel and return so long as its under Israeli government they decided, because Israel is jewish, not muslim; thats the real reason. 

In the six day war, Egypt wanted to have another go and so Israel did an strike at the opposing force which was getting ready to go over the border in certain areas. Israel claimed these areas afterwards.

These last claims are controversial (inside Israel) because much property in these areas was garrisoned and has yet to be returned; all previous aquisitions are rather proper.

You cannot make statments so broad that they are incorrect, unless that is your intention, or your patriotism goes to your head. 

In fact, I have relatives who have lived in Israel prior to WWI.

Stolen Land? BULLSH*T

Stolen Palestinian land? Your Islamist Terroris rhetoric is unbecoming of an educated techie. The land is Jewish land, that was stolen by various factions, the most powerful of which were the Romans, they are the ones who named the area Palestine, which consisted of Israel and much of it's modern Arab neighbours. At that time there was no Islam or even Christianity. At one point in history you had Palestinians of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic descent. Get your history and land claim rights correct. ALL of the land in Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, Golan, Sinai, much of Lebanon, Syrian, Jordan, even into Iraq was Jewish territory LONG before Islam even existed. All the Jews want in terms of land is what is today Israel proper including a united Jerusalem, THE Holy City for the Jews, not just the 3rd holiest city. Under Jewish control Jerusalem would be open to all religious including Islam, it already is an open and shared city.

As for this suing the Israeli Government business, well thats what happens in a free and open democratic society isn't it?

Why do Israelis need a Laser gun?

The Israeli government don't really want to fight the people who bomb its cities.
What happens is that the Palestinians do what no one should - they shoot rockets into Israeli cities like Sderot in order to kill citizens.
They aim at citizens!

The state of Israel can shoot back and end it real fast but it won't because it thinks its not moral.
So what it does is occasionally get in and fight the rocket launchers, but when it does so the Palestinian troopers shoot at them an fight them.
Because they are much weaker they don't fight the army on the field but they take the war to the streets by placing booby traps on the streets and shooting from houses.

That is the only reason innocent Palestinian women and children die.
Stop fighting and really try to settle things with Israel instead of killing people from both sides.

Hypocrite Zionists

Israel Has Nuclear Weapons + every kinda Damn warhead which is being used against the innocent People [why dont U.S put sanctions on Isreal against their Nuke Program]... Everything is clear like crystal.

Israelis + U.S reject every single U.N Law & terrorizing the whole Arab world.

Hypocrite Arabs

The land of Israel has been settled by the Hebrews thousands of years ago. Over the years the Romans, the Greek, the ottomans and the British ocuppied this territory and most of the Jewish people got scattered around the World.

But still there were hundreds of thousands left in Israel.
When the last ocuppiers - the British ruled the land it wasn't a country (not for Arabs nor for Jewish).
Then the Jewish people (that lived here) got a mandate from the British to start their state in the land of Israel (the British offered a state for Jewish and another for the Arabs) while living alongside with the Arabs who also lived here (they were fewer).

On the same day Israel was founded and declared by the UN (1948), the Arabs with the help from: Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan and Syria attacked the new state and aimed to annihilate it.
What happened was that the Israelis won the war and as they faught for their lives they also managed to take some of the Arab lands. At the same time, some of the Arabs left their terittory because of the war.

What is the price for trying to annihilate a newly born country? should it just give up these lands that thousands of its citizens died on?

On the contrary - The Arabs are hypocrite. No Arab country wants the Palestinians. The ones who did take them were forced to do so.

Everybody likes to blame Israel for the poor Palsetinians but the fact is that when they weren't fighting Israel they lived much better than most of the Arabs in the world which most of their contries are still not democratic.

I love Jews

Because they crack me up. 
Try not to justify your occupation of another land. There is absolutely no excuse in marching into another country claiming it is your own. 
The land from the borders of Algeria to the borders of China used to belong to Persia, way before Islam. Should we take it all back and call it Iran, because it "used" to belong to us some thousands of years ago? 
Palestinians have every right to defend their land, and they are not terrorists, as much as Jews are not terrorists.
There is no such a thing as an Arab world in my opinion. Middle east is vastly heterogeneous. Different people, different races, different cultures and religions. But the only thing middle east has in common is the hatred against Israel. It is UN's job to bring peace and security to the world, they have done the very opposite with Israel, which has led to decades of war and bloodshed. 

Peace, I'ma go out with my kosher Jewish girlfriend. Seriously i convinced her to give a non-chosen guy a chance.

Peace during Wartime

I don't think you can call either side 'right' in their aggressive actions. No one has the right to take innocent lives.

However, Israel is by far the one with the most dis-proportionate response and aggressive actions against the Palestinians. I think they have gone too far in their illegal occupation for there to be a realistic peace without major major concessions on their part.

Also, the complicity of the U.S. in using its veto again and again in the face of overwhelming international condemnation in the U.N., as well as Britain's capitulating to Uncle Sam in supporting the Israeli government through billions of dollars in aid, propaganda, military agreements etc speaks volumes as to why the situation in the Middle East is unchanged for so many years.

Even looking at the comments posted here, most are polarised on one side or the other, while others do not care at all. None are about how to realistically achieve a lasting peace. Is this an indication of the real-world and that we will never have peace in the Middle-East, no matter how many fake 'road-maps' we see?
