what gives israel the right to exist in the middle east?

Question

this is something that i can not understand. after WW1 the west, mainly england and the US, gives palestinian land that was under british occupation to the jews to establish the state of israel. the palestinian people and their land went from a british occupation to an israeli occupation. in the process GOD knows how many thousands have been killed and more had to leave their homecountry and lands to live as refugees until this day. in their place thousands of jewish immigrants came from europe and the rest of the world to live on ARAB land and make israel what it is.
i still cant understand what gave the west and the jewish people the right to do so?
u might say this was a long time ago. does that make it OK?
u might say its israel "GOD given land". in that case, who truly is the religious extremist?

dear michele W. i dont have a problem with jewish people, i do believe the holocost did happen and i am not against israel's existence. i am against their occupation of arab land. i wonder how u would feel if ur country got occupied, ur people killed and ur land taken and someone tells u to "just get along"?

Answer 1

I agree with u completely. If you talk of legitimacy... they have none. It is a defacto state, exists because they have force... Had this state evolved with time and become accommodating for all people including the Palestinians who live there or previously did, may be one could have a slightly more accommodating opinion. But it is based on pure race and segregation.


It is difficult to understand how western notions of humanism change in this regard.

Defending Israel its like saying racism, communalism and apartheid is fine in certain cases

One can understand Jewish insecurity after the Holocaust and the fears of extermination but they are not ensuring their welfare by being fascistic and isolationist. They are making themselves to be even more hated and morally ugly.

U cannot cheat the world for ever.

Answer 2

about what gives the rights to Israeil it is simply because they have a very strong strenth on the United States this is there only right they have and the Bigger problem is not even the International Court can do them to do anything at all they are working for there own good only even the states who are helping them regardless whats the impact on the states it self small example the price oil had increased alot who is the only victim of oil price ??? they are the americans only because in our arab country here we have a fixed price for Gas and like befor 2 monthes aga they had decreased it again so now we pay penutus for gas and the americans pay fortune for it .
do any one know where was the orignal place that Israeil was planing to build there kingdom on ??? i will tell u it was between palstine or Argentina but the UK gave them Palstine just because they want them to go out of the Country and all the Jews know how bad they where treatting them in the UK .
When u clame that u r looking for world Piece and then use the Vito against anything that will efect Israeil we call this Bull ****
by the way to all u guys i love the States actully am american but what the Ediot preseden't is doing is more than any Human can exsept Last thing I wish all of u ppl 2 open u'r eyes and u'r brains am not asking for alot for 2 things only 1. try to watch any Lebanies channel and see the Pictures of the Victims and try to imagine if this person was some one close to u 2.Lets try to think once how will Israeil live safelly after all what they done up 2 today and remmber that every day there enemies are getting more upset am sure that some day soon things will really go out of control specially after the Israeil's Hits Syria . in this point or if that happened not even the arab Leaders will be able 2 control there ppl and remmber one more thing plz that the arabs they have no fear of death ? which means no fear of nothing

Answer 3

If that is the case then no one can claim any land. Israel has been recognized by most of the nations. Many Jews and other Semites lived in that land peacefully. It is true that the fault lies with the British just like the Kashmir issue. It has been almost 50 years. If the other Middle Eastern countries recognize Israel's right to exist the problem will go away. They can all live in peace. If the other Middle Eastern nations so care about the Palestinians then why can't they give them land to live on? Many of them treat the Palestinians as second-class citizens.

Answer 4

When Palestine was a British Protectorate after WW1the British Government made a proclamation called the Balfour Declaration to allow the Jews to create a homeland in the Middle East. It is believed that this was made because of the powerful zionist lobby in England at the time. The Jewish Lobby in America is very powerful and is supported by the Christian Right so America always backs Israel

Answer 5

OK who said it was only Arab soil? Well after millions of Jews were killed during the Holocaust (you probably don't believe the Holocaust happened, from the tone of your question) the US and Brits were trying to make up for the fact that they didn't react quickly enough during WWII (which lead to the extermination of millions of Jews) and they decided to help repatriate people of Jewish background to the land of Israel. Was it OK that lots of Palestinians were taken from their land? Of course not, but Christ people need to get on with this already. Just freaking co-exist with eachother, acknowledge injustices that have been committed and for Gods sake don't create WW III. And seriously, your question is absurd! "What gives Israel the right to exist in the Middle East"? Seriously what gives you the right to think Israel should not exist? With questions like this ****, of course this problem will never be solved. The Arabs will always hate the Jews and the Jews will always hate the Arabs. What a big ******* mess.

Answer 6

for 900 years majority of the jewish are all scattered all over the world without a country or a nation to call.then the extermination of millions of jewish in europe under the nazi during the second world war.they decided to go back to the promised land and try to live peacefully but the arabs neighbour attacked them.they have depended they rigths to live.history have been written that they have been killing each other for just the right to exist so who has the right to exist in the middle east?this conflict will go on and on for many more years.the only peace they will have is when the LORD JESUS ascend from heaven.

Answer 7

You aren't exactly correct!! It definitely wasn't Palestinian land!

Under the rule of the Ottoman Empire (1517-1917), the religious communities in Palestine operated under the so-called "millet system," whereby each religion determined issues of personal status such as marriage, divorce, burial and inheritance according to its own religious practices. Under this system, the Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities established religious councils, generally appointed by the Ottoman government.

Under the British Mandate (1917-1948), Ottoman religious community policy continued. The Jewish community of Palestine was headed by a Rabbinical Council, led by Sephardic and Ashkenazic chief rabbis, who were elected by an assembly of rabbis and lay people. The Council in turn appointed members of rabbinical courts throughout the country. Under Ottoman and then British rule, Rabbinical Councils were comprised solely of Orthodox clergy. Marriage, divorce, and other issues of personal status were determined strictly on the basis of halacha (Jewish law).

Pre British, and even during, the land was divided up by the Ottoman Empire iv the 1500's It belonged to them and they are the ones who allocated it!

Answer 8

I agree with you. It is a terrible situation. If God exist how can his "beloved" people act out like this? In the name of God they are harrassing and acting worse than ever. If God does not exist, well - I can't find words for it!

Answer 9

Israel was home of the Jews until the Romans conquered them. what right did the Romans have to exist in Israel, what right did the ottoman empire have to exist in Israel,what right did the united kingdom have to exist in Israel, what right did the Arabs have to exist in Israel. in all country's it is not about right to exist, it is about the power to remain in control of the land as we do in the U .S.

Answer 10

UN Resolution 194, in 1948.
