If there are any people on this board who actually are in favour of driving the Jews into the sea then I will happily join with you in arguing why the state of Israel is necessary.

I want to know why you think the state of Israel is necessary. Why should people of a certain religious leaning be given their own countrie? How come they get a "homeland" just because they are Jewish??Useing that logic christians,buddhist,wiccans and every other religion should be given a countrie for themselves as well because they need a "homeland" also. If they were given the land because they were persecuted by Hitler then the Palestinians deserve a homeland as well since they are currently being persecuted by Isreal.
this also bothers me

In the 1920's the British and French created the states that now define the middle east. These were Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq. Previously the Brittish promised the Jews a "National Home" in what is now known as the Palistine Mandate. But in 1921 the British seperated 80% of the mandate east of the Jordan rive and created the Arab Kingdom of Transjordan and gave it to the Arabian Monarch Abdullah instead of the Jews.

It bothers me because people from accross the globe are telling another group of people where and how they have to live.Under whos authority did England and France act when they created states and promised out land?If the U.N. did nothing to stop them from parceling out what wasnt theirs why do they now try to stop other countries from doing the same thing?It seems a lot like do as I say and not as I do.Then again the brittish government is still doing it today with Ireland.I wonder where the U.N. sanctions are concerning that?
I am not anti-Isreal, but at the same time I dont think that just because you belong to a certain group you are entitled to special treatment.
