Most of the land Israel has was given to them from the UN or won in wars so either blame the UN for giving them the land or blame the Palestinians/Egyptian,Syrians and Jordanians for starting a fight in 1967 and losing

Some black folks are still screaming for reparations. You gonna tell them to shut up?
All Israel wants is to be left alone.
Israel's boundaries were determined by the United Nations when it adopted the partition resolution in 1947. In a series of defensive wars, Israel captured additional territory. On numerous occasions, Israel has withdrawn from these areas. As part of the 1974 disengagement agreement, Israel returned territories captured in the 1967 and 1973 wars to Syria. Under the terms of the 1979, Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty, Israel withdrew from the Sinai peninsula for the third time. It had already withdrawn from large parts of the desert area it captured in its War of Independence. After capturing the entire Sinai in the 1956 Suez conflict, Israel relinquished the peninsula to Egypt a year later. In September 1983, Israel withdrew from large areas of Lebanon to positions south of the Awali River. In 1985, it completed its withdrawal from Lebanon, except for a narrow security zone just north of the Israeli border. That too was abandoned, unilaterally, in 2000. After signing peace agreements with the Palestinians and a treaty with Jordan, Israel agreed to withdraw from most of the territory in the West Bank captured from Jordan in 1967. A small area was returned to Jordan and the rest was ceded to the Palestinian Authority. The agreement with the Palestinians also involved Israel's withdrawal, in 1994, from most of the Gaza Strip, which had been captured from Egypt in 1973.

I support and admire Israel 100%. I don't discuss it on here, nor do I understand why the hate against the Jewish people continues to this day. I admire how they will do what it takes to survive. I admire how the young have to do military service, thus the majority of their country can fight and protect their country. That certainly couldn't be said for the US. I watched their leader come out and send thoughts to the people of Joplin MO before our own President did.
I have noticed with the more radical sites that people seem to hate Israel. This is a persecution that has been carried on through time and it makes no sense to me. I personally do not think the Jewish race is the boogey man out to get me and my country.

Well I certainly would not have posted my intentions on fb that I was going to attack.
A surprise attack is common strategy used by every military on the planet.
The real question is, was it an act of aggression or a preemptive strike.edit on 20-9-2011 by Skewed because: (no reason given)

5.

I rest my case.

I like Israel, always have and have friends from there.
What I like most about Israel is that they do what they think is best for their country, and they do not necessarily do what others may wish or what others think they should do. They refuse to join the boys club and play by the "rules", which from what I can tell they stand on their own accord and belief system. I also like the fact that when they do something, they make no apologies for it either.
But what do I know.

First of all, it was not us who took away this land from the Native Americans. It was a terrible thing that was done to them. Second, at least they were given compensation in the form of modern day casinos (woot), but that doesn't justify the damage the whiteman caused to them.
And look what happened, history was repeated again, by the whiteman. You'd think we would learn from our mistakes but it appears we only repeat them. Just because the whiteman did it to the Native Americans doesn't mean it's okay for the UN and Zionist to do it the Arabs. It's to stop repeating history.

We should! But we won't because it is insurmountable. We were in the wrong for taking land from indigenous people, just like the Jews are wrong.
Please stay on topic.
