The whole area was partitioned by the UN in 1947; China calls the rest of Asia "Greater China"; yes, bad people teach their children to hate and murder others whom they describe as pigs and dogs....
May Israel finally wipe this wretched trash from the Earth
May Israel either agree to Palestinian terms or be destroyed and see all Israelis not willing to live in Palestine under a Palestinian government go back to their homes in Russia and Ethiopia.
I only wish Arafat has been enough of a leader -- and a man -- to take the deal brokered by Clinton at Camp David. All of this tragic loss of life could have been averted.
Remember the proverb: "The Palestinians have never miseed an opportunity to miss an opportunity"...
So sad.
Yassir Arafat was a terrorist responsible for the murder of thousands of Lebanese during Lebanon's Civil War, and a betrater of his own people when he opted to sell the Palestinians out for Israel and luxury.
Bull, and I suspect you know it. The UN didn't "mandate" it, they proposed it. The partition was rejected by the Arabs, it was never acted on by the Security Council, and thus it never went into legal effect. Britain did not transfer power to Israel. They left on 5/14/48 and Israel unilaterally declared independence. Israel was not even admitted to the UN until 1949.
How absurd. Your contention, then, is that the Jews should simply pack up and leave their country created by UN mandate, thus rewarding the Arabs for keeping up a non-stop war of terror that began with the arrival of the survivors of the Holocaust and continued through the foundation of a modern democratic state, with numerous Nobel Prize winners and an economic susccess story alone in the rego for being based on something other than the development of petroleum resources identified and tapped by the US and Britain?

Yeah, the Lebanese folks I've met didn't have a high opinion of him, to put it mildly.

LOL. Okay, pal. Now I see where you're coming from....

You evidently didn't read or comprehend the post you are attempting to answer. I pointed out precisely that Israel was NOT created by a UN Mandate. It took a year after the British Mandate expired for Israel to gain a seat at the UN, and then only on certain conditions, which Israel instantly abrogated.
As for the rest of your reasoning: (1) The Holocaust did not entitle them to any of someone else's land. Except Germany's, perhaps. (2) That they are a democracy does not prove they are right. (3) Re. the Nobel Prize and the rest of it, I don't care if the Jews **** champagne and **** marble, it does not give them any more a right to colonize Palestine than it gives them to colonize Nebraska.
I often find myself turning to Isreal's fantastic newspaper Haaretz for coverage of events in Israel.
The sensible chairman of the Baled party has condemned Berak's strikes accusing him of 'trying to win votes in exchange for palestinian blood.
An excerpt from Haaretz:
Hadash chairman Mohammed Barakeh called on the government "to immediately halt the crime in the Gaza Strip."
"Escalation will not bring quiet and calm," Barakeh said. "It is inconceivable for the Palestinian people in Gaza to live between starvation and bombardment. The government and the defense minister are trying to gain political capital in an election period on account of the bloodletting of the Palestinian people."
MK Jamal Zahalka, who is the chairman of the Balad faction, called for Defense Minister Ehud Barak to be tried for "war crimes" in Gaza.
"Barak is trying to win votes in exchange for Palestinian blood," he said.
...thus rewarding the Arabs for keeping up a non-stop war of terror that began with the arrival of the survivors of the Holocaust and continued through the foundation of a modern democratic state,..
Ah yes, the Holocaust. That certainly gives Israel carte blanche to commit a holocaust against the Palestinians in the illegally-occupied (by international law, the U.N, and the Geneva convention) territories.
How much longer will Israel use the Holocaust(tm) card to commit their own atrocities against others? It's not a blank check to do whatever they want.
Arab "non-stop war of terror"? Lol. If a group of people suddenly settled in Europe and then declared independence (even when half the people living in the territory they declared independence did not want to live under this new psuedo-state), the surrounding countries would most likely attack.
Yeledaf has already been shown to be willfully uninformed as djacques has made him look like an idiot. Something tells me playing the Holocaust(tm) card won't work on him, Yeledafs.
Zionist... good one Mrs. bin Laden... your kind has been trying to eliminate Israel forever...I am sure Jews will be around much longer than moslums.

Hezbollah, a Lebanese organization, is more hellbent on destroying Israel than the Palestinians seem, and that's because the Palestinians want peace. They want real peace that's fair towards them and they won't settle for less. If I were a Palestinian, I'd refuse any offer other than the destruction of Israel and the rebirth of Palestine. You Zionists are lucky Palestinians are willing to negotiate for less.
