Former Israeli Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami said that Israel was born in sin like all other nations were born throughout history.
He Said: “Israel, as a society, suppressed the memory of its war against the local Palestinians, because it couldn't really come to terms with the fact that it expelled Arabs, committed atrocities against them, dispossessed them. This was like admitting that the noble Jewish dream of statehood was stained forever by a major injustice committed against the Palestinians and that the Jewish state was born in sin.”
Do you agree?

The Palestinians were ethnically cleansed in 1948, Israel intended to expel them. The opportunity came along during the war, and they did so.
Now, under international law, refugees are entitled to return to their homes once the battlefield conflict has died down. And after the war, Israel refused to allow the Palestinians back. That was how Israel came into being.
Under international law, the Palestinians have the right to return. It's about legal rights. Their right to return was denied.
That is the "SIN'. And it is not "Exactly" like what happed in America, Australia or many other countries. Many of those refugees are still very much alive, and as X.info noted "the difference is that Israel committed these atrocities AFTER WWII, in the 20th century – were there as a United Nations and International Low - while other nation did that thousands of years ago".

even in thier holly book, Egyptians treat them unfair so they escape to Palestine to kill its people (3000y ago)
then Germans do the same , again they escape to Palestian to kill its people (again)
all in the name of "GOD"

Yes. The modern state of Israel was formed in 1948 by illegal jewish immigrants from Europe and America who formed terrorist gangs and committed many atrocities against the British adminstrative power and the indigenous population who were mainly christian and muslim arab.
Any arabs who refused to leave the areas that the jews wanted were massacred, the rest have had to live in refugee camps ever since.
In 1967 they started the Six Day War which gave them more arab territory.

At least Israel has the balls to do what America seems incapable of doing, that is killing terrorists. There will be no peace in the Middle East (or the world, for that matter) until each and every terrorist is exterminated.

What's with all you terrorist apologists that think Islam is the victim here???

They are nothing but a bunch of Islamic terrorists who's professed goal is to kill every "infidel" on this planet, specifically Israelis and Americans. How can any rational thinking human being support this???

Stop being aggressively ignorant and stop believing that Islamic culture is a victim of OUR culture. Radical Islamism today is nothing but a new form of Nazism.

You may judge for your self. Bush and Olmert both have made fools of themselves and degraded US in eyes of many nations and people, particularly after their latest Lebanon misadventure. US has lost its diplomatic persuasion with most of the Arab countries. What have they accomplished after killing so many innocent civilians including children ( Israelis and Lebanese ) and devastating a beautiful country ? To ensure an effective defence, which most of the Arab armies are incapable of doing, Lebanon should induct all the Hezbollah fighters into the Lebanese army. This may deter Israel from picking on Lebanon, which it has done 4 times uptill now. US has become an unwilling partner as this tail is capable of wagging the dog

"like all other nations" so what is the point....you want Israel to not exist any more; then the US given back to the Indians, and Mexico back to the Spanish, and then what....sure Israel was born out of sin - but was it due to the Israelis or the fact the Palestinains rejected the "state" offered to them by the UN and decided to raise generations of people without a nation and in hate of their neighbor.

i just want to add that they were not born in sin basically they are the sinners they brought out their sins. What they are doing with palestine and lebanon is just to complete their so called " great israel" dream whihc they will never be able to fulfill. Regarding there actual face i would say that u should watch "George Galloways" interview to the sky tv. You can view it on " www.youtube.com".
