The state of Israel was legally created out of the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I. The area was desolate, desert and swamp, with some small towns and a few inhabitants, many of them nomads. The inhabitants considered themselves mostly Syrian. The Balfour Declaration issued by the British, who were given the mandate over the area by the League of Nations. Jews have lived in the country since Biblical times. The Arabs from the surrounding areas were lured to "Palestine" by the industry and prosperity that the Jews brought to the region. Envy, hatred and religious fanaticism turned the Arabs against the Jews. In 1947, under pressure, the British resigned their mandate. The same year, the United Nations mandated partioning of the territory. The Jews, though disappointed, accepted the partition. The Arabs rejected it and launched war against Israel. The armies of five Arab countries invaded. Following the exhortations of the invaders, the Arab residents got out of the way hoping to return after victory was attained. They could then reclaim their property and that of the Jews, all of whom would have been killed or would have fled. Israel won. That and that alone is the source of the Palastinian "refugees". Had the Arabs accepted the UN partition plan, there would now have been a state of "Palestine" for the last 58 years. The might have attained a similar level of prosperity, advancement and development as Israel. 50% of Israel's population now includes refugees from Morocco, Algeria, Iraq and Yemen. All were accepted by Israel with open arms and have become successful members of their society. The Palestinians refused to integrate these refugees into their population and instead confined them to "refugee camps". The ones there are now fourth generation and through no fault of Israel.

Since you're so good at qouting stats, I thought I'd shed some light on the history of the region.

You mean if a group of killers kill your child, that you believe that the most you can bring to justice is one of them?

What nonsense! Palestinians vote a terrorist organization into office that won't denounce a stated policy of "DRIVING ISRAEL INTO THE SEA", and their own troops kidnap a soldier, and they have the idiocy to insist on trading political prisoners for the man?

Bomb them into the Stone Age. If they can't control their own people, their own military, they aren't a legitimate government. The people cheer in the streets every time they break another treaty or cease-fire with Israel and they've broken EVERY ONE!

Balance? Whose talking balance? Why do you think Israel owes the Palestinians ANYTHING? Humanity? You don't seem to understand the meaning of humanity, or you would be condemning the Palestinians for their terrorist behavior when Israel was BACKING UP AND GIVING THEM WHAT THEY WANTED!

Democracy? Democracy doesn't exist here because it is doesn't exist in Islamic countries. The people are terrified to vote any way that doesn't mean satisfying the terrorists.

My family left Islam before I was born. I have been grateful ever since. I've seen more family friends killed by assassination and political and religious oppression by Islam than you can imagine and I've wondered how long it would take Israel and the U.S.A. to wake up.

You have sided with our enemies. Expect us to answer.

This is how usually US responds to any crime Israel is committing:it doesn't matter that are militants or civilians...OK,so Israel has the right to defend itself,but so do the Palestinians and everyone else...Right now Israel is doing the exact thing they say they are fighting against...terrorism...

the load of heritage is area of the area and some people forgive extra certainly than others. I do sympathize with their plight lower than career and do not believe settlements or holing them up in refugee camps, yet this may all be solved by using the peace procedure. That calls for that both facet help it and Yasser Arafat did not. He used to bypass on Palestinian television and praise 'shahadas' (not interior the Islamic sense) for his or her martyrdom. So he become stupidly encouraging suicide bombings. an excellent style of Palestinian leaders and activists are stupid extremists who truly do not care about getting help and rights for his or her people. i'm positive that lifting the career and inspiring economic and social progression would help lifelike Palestinian sentiments yet there'll continually be Palestinian terrorists and supporters of the only-state answer and that i wager Israel will in simple terms might want to discover some thanks to cope with that by skill of protection and self-protection.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is extremely depressing. I mean, I watch what happens year after year, and the whole thing just seems hopeless.

Each side is convinced of its own righteousness. Neither side seems willing to empathize even for a moment. They refuse to listen to one another's arguments, and it's getting them nowhere. I mean, from what I see in the media (and yes, I know the media is not always right), it seems that they are more interested in hating one another than in trying to get along. So, I have to conclude, sadly, that neither side is interested in peace...they're only interested in winning. And I don't think there is a winner in a conflict like that.

There are more Jews in the U.S. then Palestinians. Oh not to mention that American Jews are quite influential and rich.

Nothing wrong with killing the Palestinians for they attack with primative bombs so Isreal is trying to knock them back to the stone age.

Thats the way nations work... Oh trust me, if you were trying to find something to justify your cause, you too would blow things out of proportion..The US has WMD too, but we had to defend ourself from Iraq and North Korea???
