Do the people that think the land in Israel should go back to the Lebanese think....?

Question

that if the American Indians decided to have an uprising and started shooting us all in our back yards, we should just step back and let them have it and move somewhere else???? is that logical?

Answer 1

No I do not. This land was established by the UN. It was agreed upon by the leaders in the Arab nations. Let them alone and go home.

Answer 2

Its a tough question because most people are looking from a 3rd person point in a far away country where 99% have never been too. Morally, it makes sense, if you take something that wasn't yours, you should give it back, even if it wasn't you who took it. But most people aren't ok with the idea of it being there own things. Like how many people would be ok with being kicked out of the house that they are or have paid for because 100 hundred years someone took the land its on. Too many people don't realize where the land that your sitting on came from. And in general, whomever wins the wars, earn the right to dictate history whether its accurate or not. Most people don't realize, after WW2 how many people were displaced when they decided to give an entire nation a new country to takeover without any real consideration to those who were already there to begin with.

Answer 3

While the near genocidal historical treatment of native americans by the original illegal immigrants to the americas is despicable, it seems that time has marched on.

Largely speaking, there has been a reconcilliation and the treatment of the native americans by mainstream american society is infinitely better than the treatment meted out by israel to the palestinians. As such I would not expect that the native americans would have cause for such action, as history is history and today is pretty much win-win (you get to keep much of the stolen land and they get enough land and the means and opportunity to lead a lifestyle of their choosing).

Perhaps that should be the focus of the israeli's.

Answer 4

israel was there thousands of years before the arabs. shoudl we give back southern california to the ancient mayans? no, cuz theyre not around. the israeli people are. before 1948, when israel fought for their independance, israel was half swamp, half desert wasteland. over the last 58 years, israel has worked hard to become an advanced civilized country, and one of the most powerful forces in the world. lebanon still persecutes its own people and thousands live in squalor. the only reason israel took lebonese land (golan heights) is because 40 years ago lebanon attacked israel. not only was israel able to defend itself, it won a a major offensive, and took a southern part of lebanon to put more distance in between lebanon's rockets and israel's major cities. over the course of 40 years, lebanon has aquired more rockets that can travel even farther. israel has to take more of lebanon to protect it's own people. this isnt about "land ownership" or stealing property. it has to do with protection and the survival of the israeli people. war is war.

Answer 5

There is a huge difference. Native Americans had no concept of land ownership. Jews had kingdoms in Israel.

Answer 6

Whoever has the best weapons and the strongest army gets the land. Hezbollah and the like are welcome to fight for it if they so choose. Just like if the Indians were tired of living, and wanted to pick a fight with us, they can feel free.

Just don't go crying to mommy when you pick a fight with an opponent that is MUCH stronger then you and people start dying.

Answer 7

The land in Israel should remain in the hands of the Israelis.

Answer 8

according to the un(useful), the land in question, belongs to syria.
not lebanon, but let's keep hezbollah armed...dumbasses.

Answer 9

Nope.

Answer 10

Nope. Fight for your land, it is what we have always done.
