Israel's right to exist?

Question

Right off the bat, I'm pro-Israel all the way.

Anyway, for those of you who don't think Israel has the right to exist, what do you think should have become of all the Jews spread all over the world?

can you give me some links to articles about all these killings that Israel is doing? Isn't it true that many palestinians are living in Israel peacefully?

Answer 1

actually i disagree that israelis are gods chosen people and i found it pathetic and ridiculous. but they have the right to exist but not in Palestina, why can't they move to europe where Hitler is said to have killed millions of them?!!!

Answer 2

Let me ask you this question... Is there any country in the world that is based on religion other than Israel? You need to distinguish between countries with people who existed in their land for thousands of years (such as Arab countries) and country of Israel which was created based on religion, then had immigrants from all over the world such as Eastern Europe, and Africa who became legal citizens solely because of their religion, and Palestinians who had been living there for thousands of years had to leave. And then claims to be a secular country!!!

I believe that the world had no choice now but to recognize the existence of Israel. But also if Israel wants to live in peace then it better give the right to Palestinians to have their own state based on UN resolution 242 (give them back their land occupied since 1967). All Arabs are asking for is "Land for Peace", or giving back the occupied Land to recognize Israel's rights to exist. I am sorry but you can not have the cake and eat it!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

The most important thing to bear in mind is that there is no such place in the world as Palestine. Except for a city in Texas.

The actual word "Palestine" came from the Romans, not the Arabs, and there has never been an independent country or state of Palestine, nor a Palestinian rule. Yet we are led to believe that there are Palestinians and then there are Arabs.

In August 11, 1919 in a memorandum to Lord Curzon, Lord Balfour stated that "whatever be the future of Palestine, it is not now an 'independent nation,' nor is it yet on the way to becoming one". Professor of history Reverend James Parkes wrote in Whose Land that "before 1914, ... the mass of the population [in Palestine] had no real feeling of belonging to any wider unit than their village, clan or possibly confederation of clans". He stressed the point that "up to that time it is not possible to speak of the existence of any general sentiment of nationality".

There is no language known as Palestinian. There is no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of 1 percent of the landmass.

As long as the Arabs refuse to accept a Jewish state in the Middle East, the conflict will remain unresolved. Israel must completely and totally defeat the Arabs, so that a peace treaty can be signed and enforced.

Today's conflict is between the radical Islamism of the Arabs and Iranians, and the moderation of the West.

Answer 4

this isnt really answering your question but the other people keep saying the same thing but it is wrong.they are all talking about palestine but it was never an actual place. it was put on maps becuase it wanted to be real. i have a map from 50 years ago and it does say palestine but if you look closley it still says israel and in the index if you look there isnt anything about what page palestine is on but there is a page for Israel. even though the word was bigger it was never real so the palestinians are calling themselves by a false name. and Israel has a right to exist for jews. The jews have been able to stand strong and keep there land. people have been trying for many years to take the land but the jews know that it is their homeland and they are staying there. they would give up anything to keep the land that they call home. Jews deserve itbecause of their pride and dignity

Answer 5

Israel was created without caring that on that land Arabs were living for centuries...As I remember one of the reason the British gave Palestine to Jews was that anyway the Arabs have enough lands,so a country less wouldn't be such a big loss for them...
Creating Israel was not the right solution for the Jews,nor for the Palestinians...it only caused many more problems...
It was wrong to created Israel there,as it would be wrong to create it in any other place...
As for what would have become of all the Jews ,well they were not the only victims of the Holocaust.I didn't see any Gypsy or any gay asking to have its own homeland.they are spread too all over the world.They continued to live in Europe,so I don't think there would have been any problem for the Jews to do it as well....

Answer 6

It is obscene to consider that Israel might have to defend its right to exists. Do the 22 Arab states have to justify their existence?

Jordan, Pakistan and Iraq, for example, were never "states"--they all found the cartographers' pen by being "created and legitimized by external powers."

Israel, on the other hand, existed for centuries.

Israel is the only Jewish state in the whole world. The Arabs have 22 states. The Arabs are not wiling to accept a Jewish state in their midst.

Israel thought that by leaving Gaza entirely in August 2005, that the Arabs would get their act together and develop their economy. Instead, the Arab have seen fit to launch thousands of missiles at Israel's civilian population, intending to kill as many citizens as possible.

Israel, on the other hand, is trying to live in peace. When they do attack, it is with the clear objective of silencing the Arab terrorists. By international law, Israel is totally justified in its quest to protect its citizens. The Arabs are in total violation of international law by unprovoked attacking of innocent civilians in Israel.

The Palestinian Arabs could have had a state already, if they only behaved like civilized human beings. But they have proven time and again that they are not ready to behave, and so the Arabs will have to exist with "only" 22 states.

Before the creation of the State of Israel, who were the Palestinians?

Until 1950, the name of the Jerusalem Post was THE PALESTINE POST; the journal of the Zionist Organization of America was NEW PALESTINE; Bank Leumi was the ANGLO-PALESTINE BANK; the Israel Electric Company was the PALESTINE ELECTRIC COMPANY; there was the PALESTINE FOUNDATION FUND and the PALESTINE PHILHARMONIC. All these were Jewish organizations. In America, Zionist youngsters sang "PALESTINE, MY PALESTINE", "PALESTINE SCOUT SONG" and "PALESTINE SPRING SONG." In general, the terms Palestine and Palestinian referred to the region of Palestine as it was. Thus, "Palestinian Jew" and "Palestinian Arab" are straightforward expressions. "Palestine Post" and "Palestine Philharmonic" refer to these bodies as they existed in a place then known as Palestine. The adoption of a Palestinian identity by the Arabs of Palestine is a recent phenomenon. Until the establishment of the State of Israel, and for another decade or so, the term Palestinian applied exclusively to the Jews.

Answer 7

God thoughts is above all our thoughts
Israel has the right to exist if God wanted so
but Israel don't have to kill people to do so

Answer 8

I think Israel should have been created at a different location. I think it would have been fair to give them a generous chunk out of Germany as a punishment for what the Nazis did. Creating it in the Middle East was both wrong and a very bad idea.

Answer 9

PALESTINE also has all th eright to exist.

At least on the world map before WW2 there was a state called Palestine , but NOTHING called Israel...

Where are the Palestinians to go now??????

Answer 10

i think Israel has a right to exist, but what it is doing by killing loads of people and then saying that they are the victims is wrong.
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that Israel should be banished of the map or anything i just don't like the way that they are being put on the map.
