Why can Israel do no wrong?

No, Israel can and does many things wrong. I have never thought otherwise. But nevertheless, that doesn't exempt everyone else in the matter. For example, Israel didn't send thousands into exile. You just lied. Or repeated a lie you were told. Israel to this day has leaflets that it sent out to the native Arabs living in Israeli land, to not leave, and that they would be citizens of Israel. They CHOOSE to leave. They were not forced to, they make a choice. Further, there are Arabs that live in Israel, as citizens of Israel even to this day. Moreover, the countries surrounding Israel choose to attack Israel. They massed forced in a direct act of provocation, and Israel responded, AS ANY COUNTRY WOULD. They rightfully attacked, rightfully defeated, and rightfully acquired land.... AS ANY COUNTRY WOULD DO. Finally, the people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, having made a choice to fight, attack, kill, and murder Israelis any chance they get. They have acted like dogs, and are rightfully penned up like a mad dog should be. When mothers and fathers place bombs on their own kids, and have they blow themselves up in night clubs, you are no longer acting like a rational human being, but a dog. Dogs need to be caged. If the native Americans in the US were doing what the those people are doing, we would respond exactly the same to them. We'd pen them up, build walls around them, and isolate them. If they have a problem with that, they should have not acted that way. Russia does the same with Chechen Republic and those stupid separatists there. Africans do the same. So does pretty much every country in the world, when confronted with an unruly group of terrorists. You want to end the suffering of the people in Gaza and West Bank? Stop fighting. Work towards peace. End the violence. Gaza was far better off during the years of peace with Israel. Now they are sinking more and more into ruin, and only themselves to blame.

Dynasty Israel is a good pilot for US: Whatever happens to Israel legally has great effect upon the US, seeing both are unlawfully occupying lands and oppressing natives of land.

The Palestinians were brought in from other places. They had not lived in the area for thousands of years or even five hundred. They were brought in so that the Israelites could not regain their former land. The only people that had the right to be around Israel were the people of Syria and Jordan and anyone who was a descendant of the Phillistines and Canaanites shold have gone there or converted to Judaism and moved to Israel. Also the nations of the Ammonites, Moabites, Edomites, etc. who lived in that area in Old Testament times were destroyed. There have been other peoples whose national identity was destroyed but they became citizens of other and nearby countries, and it did not hurt them. There is no obligation to take some of the land of Israel and give it to the Palestinians and thus weaken Israel or do you want Isreal to no longer exist because all the Musliims will destroy them?

I don't see why we can't just butt out and let things work themselves out there. It's not a happy thing, but the fact is that wars go on until someone wins and if we weren't funding both sides it would have been over a long time ago. Are Israelis the bad guys in that war? Maybe, but we were the bad guys a few centuries ago just as the British, French, Germans, Italians, Japanese, and a whole lot of other "friendly" countries were. We're not getting any prize for this. We have nothing to gain by being involved and god knows that the Palestinians certainly don't appreciate the $1 billion a year we are sending them in aid. We should cut both sides off, butt out, and not get involved again unless both sides ask us.

Hi pose123!. I personally clueless about it. I mean Israel (what ever they do, even it wrong)alway got support from USA. I mean don't they realize thats its all the root of hatred Islamic world to USA. I mean Islamic world has made Israel their common enemy and as the supporter USA goes to the same place. I never really know what Israel got until USA always support them even they wrong. many people said because USA has been controlled by Israel. I personally think will continue like this if Israel let to do what ever they wish. I know many of them claiming that Palestine is their promise land but even God already spread them all over the world and given the land to someone else.

Hi pose123, I guess it's because of the western media which only broadcast the news from Israel's side for a long time. it results in the biased opinions about Israel-Palestine conflict to a degree where most people here in West already believe with all their hearts and minds that Israel can do no wrong. Israel is good and Palestine is bad. just that simple. while in fact, it's a very complicated problem. I'm from Indonesia (now I live in US). when i was still living in Indonesia, I saw and read the news on newspapers about how savage Israel was to Palestinians. they bulldozed Palestinian houses with American-made tanks and removed them into refugee camps where the living condition was too bad to imagine. this condition is enough to make Palestinians hate Israel. I also agree that Israel must have its own country. but Palestinians also need to have their own country. this is a dispute which nobody can solve until now. the issue of establishment of Palestine state with its permanent borders have been on the agenda since 2000, but it never happens until now. considering this border problem, I think maybe these two countries should be unified into just one country. maybe this idea is too radical, almost impossible and will upset many people. but i am thinking about peace, which is more important than the establishment of Palestine state. isn't it better to unify them into one country?

Sorry to disagree with you. Many of the Palestinians abandoned their land and homes after the trouble in 1948. The 1967 war was not started by Israel. The Palestinians are not welcome anywhere by their Arab brothers in Jordan, Yemen, Egyt, Syria etc. They linger in squalid camps generation after generation and teach their kids hatred starting with the mother's milk. Anytime you see a riot you see young boys ten or 12 years old throwing stones at Israeli troups. Rockets are launched into Israel almost daily. Apparently that is o.k. but there is an outcry when one Palestinian child is killed. I do think Israel should abandon the settlements that they are now creating on the West bank and should help in creating a Palestinian State, however I can see how scared they are considering the hate that is passed on from generation to generation. Let me give you an example from recent history that had a different outcome. After the Second War millions of Germans were expelled from territories that were given to Poland, they were also expelled from Bohemia, from Hungary and parts that now belongs to the Ukraine even though they had lived there for hundreds of years. The refuge camps in Germany and Austria held thousands and thousands of peaple but only for a short time. People realized that in reality they could not go back to where their ancestors lived. They left the camps to apply for immigration to the USA, Canada, South America, Australia. They left in family groups or as individuals. The rest settled in East and West Germany and are now fully integrated. In the late 1950's all the camps were empty. The past was not retrievable or obtainable. The majority of these people became content and prosperous in their new countries. It is a rare lone voice that cries for what was lost. Now look at the Palestinians. All they do is spread hatred and yearn for property that is no longer available because long ago Israel has built schools, office towers and shops onto this land. It can never be returned to the Palestinians. There could be peace though if both sides were willing to make consessions.

My husband and I have talked about thus often. The way we see it, in a conflict, both sides carry some of the guilt.

It is not a matter of Western interpretation. It is a matter of historical fact. Since 70CE the Jewish people have been known as Palestinians and all other semitic peoples were arabs. The 'palestinians' of today took on that name as they were kicked out of the various arab counties because they were misfits. They went to work for the Jews living in the area that became Israel in 1948. Even though There was not a country called Israel, there were still Jews in the Mideast and in the area of Israel. When the war started 'they' ran. So, Israel would not let them back in after the war because they were "deserters". After the war, the arab countries kicked the Jews out of their countries and confiscated all of their land, bank accounts, businesses, homes and properties. Israel took them all in and built them homes and helped them find jobs. They did not put their people into refugee camps. The arab countries did not want the 'palestinians' in their countries, so they stuck them into refugee camps. Israel did not do this to them; their "brothers" did this to them to make Israel look bad...tough. Since when does a country have to give back territory won in a war that they did not even start? America sure never gave back an inch. I say you are a racist Pose. I used to respect you, but not anymore. Stop reading about history on the internet and read a book now and then. The internet is influenced by liars. Older books that were written as it happened cannot be changed by a delete button. The palestinians are not suffering apparently, as the Red Cross just did a major inspection of Gaza. They said the schools were in excellent condition with plenty of materials. The hospitals had excellent supplies and modern equipment. Their markets had food stuffs from all over the world and in good supply. You can find this report on the net with pictures. Much of their medical comes from Israel. Israel also pays millions in taxes to help support Fatah and has for years. If Fatah and hamas do join together, Israel will discontinue the payments. They will not pay hamas to lob bombs into their backyards daily. I guess you forgot about the bombs.
