Broney, not one of the Arab states had agreed to the UN resolution, it was another case of foreign colonialism. The Arab response was entirely predictable and expected, the Zionists knew exactly what would happen. So unless you can establish a better moral or ethical argument to justify of their actions in walloping the hornets nest than "the Brits said we could", complaining about getting stung is a bit rich.
Good point about the US and UK, I was thinking more in terms of Middle East countries rather than outsiders. The tragedy of Syria in the last year does put Israel into second place, you're quite right. Still, Israel's track record in recent decades is hardly anything to be proud of.
Just want to be left alone thanks. Or else. Works better. Learned off Europeans.
And how has that worked out for Israel? Over 1100 Israelis killed just between 2000 and 2005 (three times that number of Palestinians). The only place in the world with a large Jewish population that is actually at risk is Israel for heavens sake.
The wording you use gives the impression that you still believe the world thinks the same as it did in the 30s. For almost the first time in the history of the Jewish people the majority of the world is on their side, but the Zionists act as if Henry Ford and Stalin are still directing policy, and that Einsatzgruppen are waiting in the wings, ready to storm in at the first opportunity. Yes, much of the Islamic world is still tragically backward in its anti-Semitism (and so much else unfortunately), but that would be of little concern to the Jewish diaspora if they hadn't decided to forcibly take a large chunk of land from Muslims to be their holy land. A piece of land that also happened to contain the third holiest place in all of Islam.
and I get the same feeling when I hear the constant carping about how evil Israel is because she has robustly defended herself as they do.
