why anyone trying to defend israel would bring up the circumstances of its creation, is shocking in of itself.
1897 first zionist conference, theodor hertzl says that the zionists must colonize palestine.
early 20th century, extremists start moving to palestine, where sephardic jews have been living with arabs for centuries. they start displacing villages and killing the innocent. they are after all, crazy sick extremists. some arabs organize and respond by killing innocent jews.
balfour declaration 1917 palestine is promised to the zionists if they can get the US into the war. they do.
chazz wiezman (sp?) accepts king faisal's decree that an area of palestine be set up for a jewish homeland.
the extreme zionists get into bed with nazism and convince many jews that the nazis just want to live seperately. they in many cases are the trusted voice that leads jews onto trains. they need their six million to fulfill prophecy - that number is mentioned in zionist books and documents in the 1930s. hertzl has been quoted as saying, paraphrasing, 'given the choice between a jew living somewhere besides palestine and being dead, i will choose dead'. the british zionists in fact talk the british government out of taking jews in from the third reich.
the creation of israel in 1948 is a slam dunk, as clearly the jews need a homeland. but when the arabs attack this tiny nation keep two things in mind:
1) they are responding to the sick ****ed up **** that the extreme zionists had been up to since the late 19th century, the details of which curdle the blood. after all the talmud says to put them to the sword, man woman and child. perhaps the sickest aspect of all this is that a lot of israeli immigrants are simply people fleeing the horrors of the holocaust, and had nothing to do with the massacre of arabs. they weren't looking for the war that their zionist leaders had been pushing for.
2) jordan invades syria in the 1948 war. arab solidarity???
i believe that israel should exist. i don't think you can displace them.
but people should really look into what the causes of this conflict are.
