[QUOTE="thebest31406"] Normally, I would either curse out or simply ignore freaks that would make such vile comments in spite of human suffering. However, Gaza is an active member of the OT community and with the increased bombardments and rising death toll, Gaza could leave us at anytime (God forbid). Because of this, I've decided to Adblock both you and PWSteal as well as any other ghoulish Gamespot member that would dare minimize the horror that a fellow active member is experiencing. So, no hard feelings to the both of you. Don't take it personal, I'm sure the both of you are very fine, upstanding gentlemen but on these forums, you too are sociopaths. At this time, Gaza needs our support, not our ridicule. Adieu.chessmaster1989

Time to vent my anti-zionist/State of Israel feelings:

First off, we have to make it clear that we mustn't blame only Israel, but those that granted the Jewish people post-WW II a fraction of current Israel, infringing not a nation's sovereignity, but the sovereignity of the people who lived there - Europe, the U.K. specially, and the U.S.A..

After that, we have Israel expanding on territories that they had NOT BEEN GRANTED, on the basis of "We're just defending ourselves." - a curious statement, the fact that they are only a 'defense force' when you consider that they've expanded to over five times their original size:

It's high-time the U.N. and the world's super-powers realize they f*'d up when they allowed Israel to expand upon the lands of others, destroying the property and livelihood of many palestinians - going so far as tearing down Olive trees (which take several years to grow and mature) IN PALESTINIAN TERRITORY, as clear an offense to someone's sovereignity as anything else. Unfortunately, it's in our interest to maintain a puppet-nation in the midst of the unstable middle-east, an important source of mineral fuel.

People don't realise the obvious: the Palestinians are the ones retaliating. They've been pushed, and pushed, and pushed - all while the nations that gave Israel the means to do so turned their gaze - and now they are, inevitably, pushing back. Not only that, but the missiles/rockets the Palestinians use are so technologically inferior that they would need over FOUR BILLION of them to cover all of Israel's surface, compared to the massive air-strikes and shells the Israel "Defense" Force has used.

I bet Palestinians were retaliating too, when the Arab nations attacked Israel in 1948 immediately after its founding.

That Palestine and Israel land in 1946 pic is worthless because it's common knowledge Jews were exiled way back.
That picture of the UN Partition plan in 1947 is all well and good until you realize that the surrounding nations weren't even happy with that.
They attacked and got their ass pushed back, once in 1948 and again in 1967.

The only picture of any value is the one that is dated 2000, but seriously, Israel gets attacked three times in less than 25 years (1948, 1967, 1973), and when they attack, it's called invading.

Yes, they (Arab nations) were retaliating. That's exactly the f**king point I'm making. The creation of the state of Israel was a sovereignity breach where the people that had their lands stripped had absolutely no guilt or fault to be punished. I specially love how you implicitly praise Israel's border-defense and expansion when you claim the Arab nations got their asses pushed back, though let's be honest: that was 95% U.S., 4% U.K. and 1% Israel. They made the primeval attack, sanctioned by the U.N., in '47 - and sanctioned or not, it was an attack to the rights of the Palestinian people. You expected the nations that surround Israel to stay quiet like little b**ches while the newcomer replied to their "hospitality" (hospitality implies the Israeli people were invited guests) by expanding across their land like the plague?

Your entire argument that the state of Israel is valid is based on claiming that the Jewish people originally lived there and were exiled OVER TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO. Tell me, what the hell does the Palestinian that lived there in '47 have to do that? And what claim can the Jew make on a land that hasn't been in his family for over eighty generations? It's considerably less valid than saying that the U.S. belongs to the native americans by right, or that California and the rest of the N. American southwest should be returned to Mexico, or that most of Europe should be annexed to Germany in respect to the Holy Roman Empire. "Let's f**k up other people in order to make ammends, shall we?" is not only ironic (considering you're trying to help a people that were pursued and mass-murdered during WW II) but one of the least rational solutions to the Jewish people's issue - somewhat putting in evidence the OBVIOUS, and true, reason for the creation of Israel: the maintenance of a military superpower as a puppet-nation in the unstable middle-East. All that does is give a hue of truth to the idea that being rich in oil is a curse.

if you don't want the Jews to leave to their original homeland, don't throw them out of their other homelands.

but thats ok , as I said previously our real homeland, is on Mars.

and no , I do not give a damn if you were not alive back then or if youre American.

If not Palestine, where should the Jews go? If you want to deport someone (like practically every nation did, both European and Arab), you should have a place to deport them to. For the past 2000 years, the whole basis of anti-semitism is "you're not us, don't pretend to be us," and "you're not from here, no matter how much you'd like to be. Go back to wherever the hell you came from."

Now, there are 2 ways to look at it. Conquering someone's land (regardless of your heritage or his) either is or is not an acceptable way to establish a state

If it isn't, every state in the world is a hypocrite; don't single Israel out. Or it is a valid way, and Israel won. So until they lose.. there's little cause for discussion.

Because it's already halfway there when it comes to being the land of Jews. In terms of demographics, it's kind of like a bigger version of Brooklyn, except without all the black people... And without all the Irish... Ok, it's not that much like Brooklyn, but there are a crapton of Jews.

We should all take a lesson from the native americans who laughed at the notion that land could permanently belong to someone.

That doesn't justify the way Israel treats Palestinians. Israel shouldn't be taking moral cues from its Arab neighbors. -Sun_Tzu-

I'm not saying it does.

But I'm speaking from a point of view where Israel is now supposedly an "illegal terrorist state" as referred to by some here. You can't expect an "illegal terrorist state" to be humanitarian.

The point is that there are bigger evils in the area, so it makes absolutely no sense for people to keep focusing on the whole Israel-Gaza conflict. Like, um.. I'm not sure if they noticed, but the Arab states have more than enough funds to evacuate every single Palestinian in the West Bank. Or at the very least, drastically improve their living conditions.

Israeli "oppression" isn't the sole (or even the main cause) for Palestinian poverty and crappy standard of living.

Hence why I claim that it was an infringment on the individual sovereignity rather than a state's. Although I agree that the media depicts Palestine as a cohesive group, the reason I use the term isn't to group them under one de facto race/group, but for the sake of convenience (Palestinian being those who inhabit the Palestine region).

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"]That doesn't justify the way Israel treats Palestinians. Israel shouldn't be taking moral cues from its Arab neighbors. -Sun_Tzu-

I'm not saying it does.

But I'm speaking from a point of view where Israel is now supposedly an "illegal terrorist state" as referred to by some here. You can't expect an "illegal terrorist state" to be humanitarian.

The point is that there are bigger evils in the area, so it makes absolutely no sense for people to keep focusing on the whole Israel-Gaza conflict. Like, um.. I'm not sure if they noticed, but the Arab states have more than enough funds to evacuate every single Palestinian in the West Bank. Or at the very least, drastically improve their living conditions.

Israel has limited natural resources. Israel has Jews to help out. Palestinians don't want Israeli help. They want Israel out.

[QUOTE="cslayer211"] The problem though is that Arabs hadn't inhabited that land until the mid-7th century. They literally have no claims to that land. No history there, nothing. It's all manufactured to give Arabs a fabricated ownership of land that they have no ties to. Palestine refers to the Jews. They have much more of a right to be there than the Arabs.cslayer211

Doesn't mean it's humane or anything, but look at mankind's history, when have we put being humane over pragmatism? How many (if any) empires have ever expanded by being genuinely nice to their neighbors?

It is important to recognize that Israel is an occupying power in this relationship. That's not to say that Israel is responsible for all of the problems in the region and if Israel were to cease to exist everything would be fine, but they are still responsible for a substantial amount of the suffering that Palestinians endure on a daily basis. Maybe Israel's actions are justified, maybe they aren't, but these aren't facts that can be easily glossed over.

No, I rationalize their living conditions by the fact that they've got "cousins" who couple easily support them, and expect Israel to.

Oh, but at the same time Israel is considered their enemy. Who the hell looks to an enemy for help? The problem here isn't whether Israel is in the wrong for refusing to help. Even if it is or isn't, Israel is still not going to help.

But instead of condemning the Arab nations for refusing to help their own people, let's show how terrible Israel is by not helping an enemy.
