Who supports Palestine's right to exist?

Question

I'm talking the 1946 boundaries. No split state with the former Jewish Agency,as the current administrators were then known.

Answer 1

I fully support it; no one is "persecuting" Jews anywhere on earth; there are no death camps in America. They have no need of a "safe haven". No other ethnic group is claiming their ancestral point of origin; the Irish - the Celts - are not seeking the recovery of what is now Austria. I think the whole zionist phenomena is strictly lunatic-fringe - and indeed it was so regarded before 1948,even by most jews. It's time to end this absurd anachronism. This so-called "Jewish State" is a relic of british imperialism and Christian romanticsm.

Answer 2

I do. There is no reason why Palestine should not have received it's independence after WWII just as the neighboring mandate territories did,all becoming nations by no later than 1946. It remains a mystery why Palestine was treated so differently. There was no basis for slicing off half of it's territory and presenting it as a gift to a jewish immigration organization,nor any basis for annexing the remainder to Jordan. To undo a wrong we must go back to it's inception and ask ourselves: what should have been done? Under these terms the path to peace easily becomes clear. Palestine - defined as the area encompassed by the Mandate borders - must be permitted to establish a single government for the entire nation,a democracy based on majority rule and with a complete ban on racial,religious, and ethnic discrimination. Citizenship as a birthright. Citizenship available upon application to anyone who can demonstrate that they are a direct descendent of a person born within Palestine at some point since 1917,when it was conquered by the British. A national flag without ethnic character. Majority rule. All these things must be done and this must be accomplished within our lifetimes; the level of violence has become intolerable for the world. We want peace and we want it badly. That can only be achieved by one means - normalization. A normal government for the entire country. There is no other solution.

Answer 3

Palestine was a nation for more than 2500 years. In 1947 under a League of Nations mandate, headed by the United States and England the nation of Palestine was dissolved and the nation of Israel was established.

The entire middle east was conquered and became colonies of England. This is why those who live in sovereign nation want nothing to do with England or the United States.

Answer 4

I think that many of the troubles that we have in the middle east are do to our slanted policies over Israel and Palestine. The Palestinian people should be treated with more respect than has been shown them in the last 50 odd years by Israels military and government. Much like the Iraqi people should be treated better by The United States military and government. In treating people as less than human we create and perpetuate terrorism.

Answer 5

First of all the palestinian people support the right to exist for their own country..All countries which have muslim majority support also the existence of Palestinian country..As you know before 1946 all jewish people have no country.They dispersed in so many countries in the world such as in German,USA,UK,France etc.In Palestine lived palestinian people mostly muslims as their country.After World War 2,USA and UK governments supported jewish people(Israelis) for having their own country and they seized Palestinian country.Since then Arafat and his followers faught their right of the country.In a truce agreement palestinian people was given parts the former their country.Arafat became the first president of the Palestinian country. supported by USA and UK governments. and all muslim countries.Yerussalem is the international city because it is the center and sacred place for 3 religions e.g Jewish religion,Christianity and Islam.Mus
lims have the memorial mosque called Mesjidil Aqsa...There are many of prophets'tomb in Palestine.But now Yerussalem was seized by Israelis.

Answer 6

I support them in their desire for state-hood, but not at the expense of the Jews. How the U.N. went about creating Israel was probably not the best way to handle that situation, however, they aren't going anywhere now.

There have been Jews living in the area longer than there have been muslims. Israel existed before Christ and definitely before Muslims.

What you need to be asking is how many Muslims support Israel's right to exist. Considering much of the tough talk of Muslim leaders today includes destroying Israel (the former PM of Iran said that nuking Israel is a perfectly acceptable solution to the Zionist problem, even though it would kill hundreds of thousands of good, hardworking muslims).

Israel also needs to be more vigilant about their settlements. Too often they get a bug up their behinds and start to move in to areas they previously said they wouldn't. I give them a lot of slack because the deck is stacked against them, but it doesn't mean they can do what they want.

-S-

Answer 7

That's their rights.

It's like questioning 'who support the Americans rights on United States of America?'

Answer 8

If I'm reading your question correctly you are saying no Israel. Is that right?

Well in retrospect it might have been better if The Saar had been used to create a Jewish state after WWII under the protection of the Allies. But that moment has passed and putting Israel completely out of business is not something I would support.

Answer 9

I support Palestine's right to exist anywhere except where there is a God given boundary, or a country that does not want them to take a part of their country. Israel is spoken for by God Himself. So IF Palestine is declaring any part of Israel, I do not support it.

Answer 10

I support the rights of a Palestinian state, not in the borders you are describing however, they had their chance at that one and lost it. I think almost every Jew can support a Palestinian state--you don't have to be anti-Palestinian to be pro-Israel.
