In the latter half of the nineteenth century early Jewish pioneers had been immigrating and turning a largely barren and deserted land into a more fertile and better land and this in turn had attracted immigration from surrounding Arab lands.
The Jewish people were promised a state back in 1917 by the Balfour Declaration and confirmed by the League of Nations. The whole area of what is now referred to as Palestine was declared open to Jewish settlement This promise was neglected and over the years British policy turned to be blatently anti Jewish such that in 1939, the time of European Jewry's greatest need, Britain denied Jews their opportunity of escape and turned many back to their deaths. At the same time the British were encouraging large imigration of Arabs into the area, particularly what is now known as Jordan and representing some 75% of the original land for a Jewish homeland under the Balfour Declaration.
It took the holocaust and slaughter of the second World War to revive the promise of a Jewish state and bring about the United Nations voting of the approval of the state of Israel on 29th November 1947. Britain abstained ! Israel was recognised by USSR, the Communist countries, the US and the Phillipines.
Five Arab nations threatened war upon the new state to be if it came into existence and even threatened Arabs living within Israel, promising to rid the land of Jews and drive them into the sea. Some 70% of Arabs fled from Israel and became the Palistinian refugees, kept in camps for political capital, as an open sore and a weapon against Israel.
The five Arab states were unsuccessful in their unjustified war but Israel has had to fight several further wars against Arab invasions. Arab immigration into the Middle East surrounding Israel has been massive and with the exception of Eygypt, Israel's right to exist is still denied by the Arabs.
Almost daily Israel has to endure attacks upon it's civilian population from it's Arab and Muslim neighbours.
The true facts concerning Israel are heavily obscured by an even greater war of propaganda where lies and myths are employed to stir up hatred and aggression and by means of lies and threats to try to turn all against Israel.
Who, in their right mind, could not feel sorrow and sympathy for the Israelis ? ? ?
Especially now that the violence of the Islamic religion has reached such extreme and unprecedented levels.
The blind fury of Islam with it's envy and hatred and deceit rather suggests the world would be a better place without Islam.
There certainly would be a lot more people alive.

I shop reiterating which you incredibly do not understand the concepts and emotions of an undemanding Israeli. chuffed to verify you surely handle it. Now I purely wish you do not turn around and absolute demonize them, which you do. after all, sure, they experience sorry for North Korean youngsters. They do see them ravenous, and that i'm specific if sending help became into even slightly easier we'd see Israeli missions to help. i'm chuffed you notice those. The Israelis additionally experience undesirable that their government is largely responsible for a brilliant number of it, and is keeping many from getting a very good meal the two right away or in a roundabout way with their regulations. To Israelis, many might purely element it out as a rationalization why North Korea's government could pass.

The Israelis keep stealing land from the Palestinians and oppress them. I'm not surprised that the Palestinians fight back, although I think they're going about it the wrong way (especially now by leaving Hamas in charge). Leaving people with nothing to lose is very dangerous.
It's bad when innocent civilians get killed, but I don't feel sorry for the Israelis, they have themselves to blame and they commit a lot more atrocities than the Palestinians. The world would be a better place had Israel never been created, or at least created somewhere else (why were they not given a chunk of Germany to create Israel as a punishment for the holocaust rather than taking the land of people who had done nothing to them?)

Zionism is a kin to Nazism point blank. The jews in Isreal should be ashamed of themselves.
The land of "Israel" should be split in half. The northern half would be Palestine and the southern half Israel.
In the middle occupying Jerusalem would be the new U.N. HQ with a corridor that divides these lands from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea. Stationed there should be 200,000 man Rapid Reaction Force capable of delivering a serious smack down to ANYONE in the region that acts out of line.
This solution creates peace in the region and gets the U.N. out of New York .

Why exactly should I feel sorry for someone who took a land that doesn't belonged to them,that drew out of their homes millions of people,that are killing other people,without caring if they are civilians or militants, on a daily basis?No,I do not feel sorry for the Israelis,I feel sorry for the real victims of this conflict,I feel sorry for the Palestinians,I feel sorry for the millions of Palestinians living in Un's refugees camps without knowing if they are going to come back to their land,for the people who live in Gaza and West Bank,which are like 2 prisons in open air...
The Middle East would have been more peaceful without Israel there...

oh please, you put forward a very one sided argument without recognisong or thinking for just a second that maybe the palestinians are so passionate because they have such a strong case of injustice.
have you forgotten how Israel won independance from Britain? or I suppose you would class that as a freedom fight and not terrorism?
use your head and try an see both sides of the argument because until morons like yourself and the leaders of Israel & US start to think about everybody, then this conflict is never ending, which in essence is what nobody wants

israeil took the palastine land
the poor palastines found nothing but their souls to defend
how can i feel sorrow for a nation cannot live without wars
we will put the palastine israeily problem a side and look
israeil in 1956 launched awar with france and england upon egypt u know why coz egypt decided to nationalize the suez canal . which is an egyptian canal but due to the english occupation it was ruled for the sake of england .
israeil also launched another war against egypt in 1967 and took sini from egypt and algolan from syria and parts of lebanon and sure the whole palastine land .
but thanks to god (allah) and to the blood of the egyptians (both muslems and christians)we could kick the israeils out of our dear land egypt by the great victory in 1973 .
israel in this year as u all know bombed lebanon
israeil cannot live without wars
israel killing every day the poor unarmed palastines that just wonna have their land back , and wonna protect the holy mosque alaqsa which the dirty jewish(zionists) wonna ruin .
i think we will live a war free world with out israeil
also kids and women will feel better with out israeil
I HATE ISRAEIL

I grieve for Israel & wish they would come to their senses. God is allowing this to happen because of their disobedience...but one day they will all turn around I believe.
Shalom Israel!
PS- I also grieve for the Palestinians, but in a different way.

sometimes i feel sorry for the Israeli's. but the palestinians are only bombing them because Israel used to be their land. and we took it away from then and gave it to the Jews. people always come up with the conclusion with "the world would be better off without the Palestinians" just rember they would probably be alittle more peaceful if we didnt take away their land...
imagine the Government wanted to take away half of your house and gave it to homeless people... wouldnt you be pissed off too? the homeless people would represent the Jew's and you would represent the pissed off Palestinians. you would right for the other half of your house right?
