That doesn't really justify why they needed to continue expanding until they had Palestinians in 2 tiny prisons.
The 67 borders should have been fine. They should have made Jerusalem an independently controlled but integrated part of the country and kept those borders. Instead the kicked all of the Palestinians out of their homes. The first few years Jewish people and Palestinian lived peacefully side by side, but the government kicked them out after the war with Egypt and gave their homes to Jewish Israelis.
They DEFINITELY don not have as much claim as the people who can go and show you where they lived just 60 years ago. I think the Palestinians have more right to return to homes they were removed from in contemporary times than the Israelis who claim a right to return because they lived their 3000 years ago (and that is what they claim, not what you believe about the Ottoman empire). I sincerely doubt this is what anyone that allowed them to move there had in mind.

If you really look back, it was the British who fired the first shot by declaring Palestine to be the new home of the Jewish.
It was the British imperialists who destroyed the middle east and broke it up into an un-natural group of states and provinces like happened everywhere else in the world, even north America.
The Palestinians occupy the same marginal area the Native Americans did, the indigenous population is being weeded out and assimilated.
The assimilation will not go well because, in truth, both groups are zealots and will fight for what they believe to be true even if it can be proven untrue.
It's a perfect plan to keep the chaos raging as there ain't no money to be made, no loans that need to be written (at least not really huge one's like for weapons) for either side...
It has nothing to do with God or religion or anything else but money, money, money money....
The banks are the problem, and just happen to operate on the British banking model and method....

Israel was helped into Palestine (in 47 or so) where they quickly forced the Palestinians out of their homes, attacked anyone they thought might be a future threat without provocation, kept taking land, kept taking land, Arafat finally agreed to just keeping a tiny 20 percent of the country. Israel didn't respect that and started taking more while creating laws that only apply to Palestinians while Israeli Jews enjoy way more freedom and respect. Israel now continuously oppresses the Palestinians and tries to usurp their land.
The Palestinians shoot off little unguided rockets into the desert so they can try to get the worlds attention so they aren't forgotten to be oppressed in silence and have their land taken and people abused. It's not religious fanaticism or any attempt to win, it's just to bring attention to their plight.
If that sounds one sided it's because it is, it's the truth. One of the most militarily technologically advanced countries in the world oppressing poor people in a ghetto prison where Israel controls their supplies.
There now it's explained.
Not a bad response. So now my question to everyone else here.
Is this FACT or OPINION? I was under the impression Israel only "took land" as a bounty of a war started by the other side. Was I incorrect and is what he said true that they continued to invade Palestine territory that wasn't initially provided for them?

I'm sorry but the fact is that the level of hatred on each side of this conflict is disgusting and people keep on denying it. Sure these people might be fine on thier own and as normal people without thier governments they might be friends even, but the way that both sides draw up such hatred and support thier perpetual conflict is the reason why it can continue.
If both sides woke up and properly looked at what has happened then and now, maybe the fighting would stop and people would realise how terrible the conflict is and that it should have drawn to.a close long ago.

I feel bad for both sides. Fact is, if you attack Israel, they are going to hurt you back. I will not comment on the right or wrong. Just the facts. I realize there are complex issues being dealt with. Who is the bad guy when both sides are in the wrong?

Nice try.
Fact is the Palestinians could live in peace just where they are but Hamas wont let them. They go starting fights that bring down the heat on their own people. All that has to happen for peace is for Hamas to stop with the rockets. Hamas however sees peace only in the destruction and deportation of Israle.

Are you saying that none of this happened before hamas?
Because I was under the impression it did.
Just because people don't want to accept that because they simply hate Jews, sorry, I meant Zionists, it doesn't change the fact that Israel have the full right to fight back
Because, it's war, and in Gaza, what were people expecting when Hamas hides behind civilians.

What many never take into consideration is that many of the folks living close to Israle are actually ancestry related.
They come from a nephew of Abraham and other relatives of Abraham beside Ismael, a brother of Jacob ect. What Iran's interest is in these folks fighting isn't really clear but certainly some sort of pathological race hate.

Well you are certainly not saying the Hamas and Hezbollah are justified righteous warriors and really care about the land are you?
