OK, so now I know why my question wasn't taken seriously, perhaps you're not all a bunch of anti-semites. I now see how you see the situation: You think that the Palestinians have a right to the land of Israel, and we stole the land from them. We are now saying 'look, we're giving back the land we stole and they keep bombing us and asking us for more!'. But that's not true. We never stole the land. We have a right to the land
The last time an international comittee agreed upon a border for the state of Israel was in 1922, by the British imperialists, who promised us that little strip we call Israel today, as well as Gaza and Jordan. This were The British White Papers which were written to clarify the 'misconceptions' of the Balfour Declaration. The only Arabs living in the Israel area were living in bedowin tents and very well scattered, moving about constantly(and still do). At this time the Jews and Arabs were rarely in conflict with each other. There was some thievery, but that was about it. However, as the British Imperialists like to do, they began the conflict between the Jews and Arabs after centuries of being united either under Christian opression or together in Arab-ruled countries. This was done when the Brits then promised some King what we call Jordan(77% of what we have a right to). The Brits merely desired to maintain their presence in Palestine. Today we have peace with Jordan. Although we have a right to that 77%, our Government saw fit to give it up for peace. What we call Jordan today was actually going to be called Palestine, but the Brits knew that this would mean that there would be no cause for Arabs who wanted to destroy Israel to fight for.
1947 was when we made it official that we had a Jewish state. The Arabs weren't happy, after decades of fighting with us as a result of the British mandate. Then came '48.
For the next ~20 years the world sided with Israel. Why? Arafat kept on talking about 'death to the Jews', 'im going to finish what Hitler started', etc. The Brits told Arafat to stop doing this, and to improve his world image by using passionate protests, and creating the PLO in 1964. Before 1964 if you asked a person what a Palestinian was they would reply 'a Jew'. There were the Palestinians(Jews, Israelis) and there were the Arabs led by Arafat who wanted to Destroy Israel. You want proof? All the literature prior to 1964 refers to Jews as Palestinians. A movie called EXODUS best illustrates this-created in 1960, they refer to Jews as 'Palestinians' and what we today would call a Palestinian 'Arabs'. When Golda Meir got up in the United Nations and said that 'there is no such thing as the Palestinian people', she was not shouted down by the world. Why not? It was a given fact. There was no Palestinian people. And there is none. It is a false cause created to destroy the state of Israel, to which we have a RIGHT to be in. This is OUR land. It was a desert before Jewish settlers began being active and started establishing cites, forests, etc. The Arabs lived in bedowin tents moving around. In 1967 the Arab countries surrounded the tiny strip called Israel. Israel struck first and regained some of its land. In May 2000, the Government was willing to give 97% of Israel for peace(everything Arafat asked for, except for 'Rite of Return', a euphimism for the destruction of the state of Israel and the stripping of the land which is rightfully ours.). What was Arafat's response? A harsher negogiation? No. Intifada of September 2000.
There is no cycle of violence. There is no such thing. There is an opressor. There is an underdog. There are 20+ Arab countries surrounding a tiny strip called Israel. Israel fits 3 times into Tasmania. When looking on a map, a fly once flew onto it and covered the entire state of Israel.
What I am saying is that Israel has a RIGHT to it's land-it never stole anything. There have been Jews living there since our forefathers. We never left there. There has always been a Jewish presence there. It has always been OUR land, and we have always had a right to it. We have a right to control it, and of course allow people of other religions to come and visit their holy sites, that is of course if they stop bombing us.
The Palestinian's passionate protests are to make you sympathise with them. The worst thing the Israeli government did was hand over the Palestinian education system to Arafat in 1993. If you talk to an Arab over the age of ~22 they are decent people. Under 20, they want to kill you. And this is the problem we are now facing. A hostile media and a hostile generation being brought up. And Iran who want us dead(as well as you). And 20 other countries which don't want us to exist. The War in Iraq has nothing to do with the War in Israel. This isn't about terrorism. This is about what we have a right to.
