An illegitimate state created by Britain in 1948 carved out of Arab Palestinian land and given unjustly to the Jews. Two terrorist Jewish organizations started the Jewish state by expelling the Palestinian inhabitants from their land, massacring them, terrorizing them and forcing them by the thousands out of their homes and bringing Jews from every corner of the world to occupy their land, not only that, but denying them their basic right to return back from the countries that sheltered them as refugees. Today the illegitimate state of israel continues its terror campaign, which its started from the day it was created, against the innocent civilians of Lebanon murdering them by the hundreds, read the news!

It is (as almost everyone has said) a country.
I know that the Palestinians say that it is theirs.
Unfortunately history has shown that "might is right"
Wars are fought over real estate and the winner wins.
You can whine all you want, but possession is the owner.
Examples are...
American war of Independence vs Britain.
Falklands war, Britain vs Argentina
Vietnam
Ireland vs Britain for Eire
Kuwait vs Saddam.
WWI
WWII
The Cold War when Russia controlled Poland, Hungary and many more Baltic countries.
You can be a freedom fighter or terrorist (depends who wins) till you are blue in the face, but lets face it. Israel is not going away.

Modern day Israel is part but not all of the land that God gave to His chosen people the Jews, and forever will be.
David F, I don't know where you studied history but you are very confused.

Israel is actually occupied Palestine. Palestinians are the indigenous people. Roots go back to the beginning of mankind. Sorry Zionists, hate to burst your bubble. Just telling it like it is.
