How is a movement for the establishment of a Jewish state - which was spurred into existence because of the prevalence of European antisemitism and pogroms - evil?

Did you honestly believe I was referring to all Palestinians in my post or were you just attempting to make a point?
You got called out for making an extremist statement and your knee jerk reaction was to immediately point to someone else.

I see a statement based off one sided facts which may not be facts at all. Do you honestly believe that Israel have got nothing to answer for when it comes to Gaza? Even the West Bank? Don't you believe they should be held accountable for their actions? Unfortunetly, the modern day issues are not the only problems. People can call Terrrorist all they want concerning Hamas, remember though, the very same slogan was used by the Earliest Zionists and they were proud to use it.
To all the Zionists out there: take your "Israel has the right to defend itself" argument and SHOVE IT. Articles like the one above should convince EVERYONE with a sense of objectivity that, since their inception, the Israeli's have ultimately been the aggressors in the region. Yesterday's vote is only proof that the world has had enough of Israel; it's actions, and it's rhetoric
According to traditional accounts, the Muslim conquests (Arabic: الغزوات, al-Ġazawāt or Arabic: الفتوحات الإسلامية, al-Fatūḥāt al-Islāmiyya) also referred to as the Islamic conquests or Arab conquests,[1] began with the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He established a new unified polity in the Arabian Peninsula which under the subsequent Rashidun (The Rightly Guided Caliphs) and Umayyad Caliphates saw a century of rapid expansion of Muslim power.
They grew well beyond the Arabian Peninsula in the form of a Muslim Empire with an area of influence that stretched from the borders of China and the Indian subcontinent, across Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Sicily, and the Iberian Peninsula, to the Pyrenees. Edward Gibbon writes in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire:
since their inception, the Israeli's have ultimately been the aggressors in the region.

My guess is that the consequences will be more illegal settlements to be built in the West Bank, perhaps they will completely annex all of West Bank?
This is just speculation on my behalf but they have threatened this before.edit on 11/27/2012 by Corruption Exposed because: (no reason given)

You said that Hamas should exterminate the zionists, many of which are misinformed and not guilty of anything more than stupidity.
They wouldnt just be able to wipe out the zionists, nor would they. Hamas is extremist, and kills innocents just like the Israelis do. Saying that they should be able to wipe out people no worse than themselves.....IS extremist.
I dont like this beef....we are on the same side. Its just that the hasbara rats cry Hitler, every time somebody says something that supports the goals of Hamas...

Of the two, Israel is recognized as the sovereign country and that gives them the right to build in their own country.

you have the Israeli side that plays within world rules,
“Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population.”—David Ben Gurion,
“Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves ... politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves ... The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country.”—David Ben Gurion
"I don't understand your optimism.," Ben-Gurion declared. "Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, it's true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti-Semitism the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that? They may perhaps forget in one or two generations' time, but for the moment there is no chance. So it's simple: we have to stay strong and maintain a powerful army. Our whole policy is there. Otherwise the Arabs will wipes us out". - The Jewish Paradox, Goldmann
"No Zionist can forgo the smallest portion of the Land Of Israel. [A] Jewish state in part [of Palestine] is not an end, but a beginning ..... Our possession is important not only for itself ... through this we increase our power, and every increase in power facilitates getting hold of the country in its entirety. Establishing a [small] state .... will serve as a very potent lever in our historical effort to redeem the whole country.".—David Ben Gurion

If you want to get technical, there is no such thing as a Palestinian. The so called Palestinian is just a combination of other ancestors from different regions of the ME. If you do not agree, then answer this- what is the Palestinian language? Currency?
When the Roman Empire conquered the land that is now referred to as Palestine it was renamed by the Romans as is typical of the Romans to the Latin name of Israels biggest enemy- Philistina. Philistines were the biggest enemy of Israel. Palestine is merely an English transliteration of Philistine and the original inhabitants were Jews.

Its also known that Arabs, Jews and Christians lived peacefully amongst each other before the Zionists entered the picture in Palestine.. Did they persecute each other before 1948? No. Were they persecuted during and after 1948? Yes. At one point in History, something dramatically changed and it wasn't Palestinians faults.
