Below is a picture of the land of Israel and beside it is listed all of the trials and tribulations that they have gone through in the last 64 years. Israel is the only democratic country in the Mid~East. It is the only country that lets legal immigrants hold office. All residents in good standing can vote or hold office. Everyone can work, receive medical and any other benefit that they need no matter their race, creed or background.
Per capita, Israel earns more Nobel Peace Prizes than anyone else. They hold more medical patents too. People from all over the world wait for slots in Israeli Universities.
In spite of all of this, they are the most hated country and people in the world.
Israel has been attacked over and over, but only retaliate after much governmental discussion, even when their own people must live in bomb shelters for weeks...Almost all Israelis have gas masks for every family member...They have special "zip lock like" things to protect infants...Because of Syria and Jordan, chemical attack is a real danger.
It is time that the world got over it, and on with their own lives. It is time for the world to recognize the real dangers in the world and the Mid~East...
Do you agree?

You can use any and every trick to paint Israel a peaceful country. The historical fact remains that Israel is situated over a land which does not belong to it. The land belongs to Palestinians (mainly Arabs) who lived there for centuries and the people called Israelis today, have all migrated from different parts of the world. There can never be peace when you kick people out of their homes and deprive them of their basic rights, no matter how many noble prizes you get.

Being as old as I am I have just watched the movie avatar. I am surprised that they would understand that the 'people" attacked in that country is allowed to defend themselves yet keep saying that Palestinians should accept all the bombs quietly.
To what I understood from some mylotters here is that the land is Israelis because their forefathers originate from there. How I look at it is that the land is left behind and like when an adopted child who has grown and flourished, the biological parents have come to claim him and want to kill the parents who have brought him up.

Naseem00, If longevity is your argument, then the land belongs to Israel.

He we have another post that allows right wing Christians the chance to be racist.
ISRAEL IS 64 YEARS OLD - They left Israel hundreds of years ago to make money and get rich.
Following the WW2, no one wanted this lot living in their country.
Israel was formed 64 years ago and recognised - Palestine is still waiting for the same recognition that they were also promised.
No one is waiting for slots in Israeli Universities.
They are guilty of genocide and human right abuses against the Palestinian people - Ironically they learnt alot from Germany.

Rob... no, the Jewish people were expelled from Israel by the Romans, prior to the British liberating the area from the Ottomans, there was already a large Jewish population in Jerusalem and the area. Some authorities conclude that Jerusalem had a majority Jewish population. Jews had purchased land from the Ottomans and established settlements in the area. There was a considerable Arab population though many were itinerant, there being no 'Palestinian' people at this time. Indeed the name for the region was coined by the British for historical reasons
The Arabs initially agreed to a two-state solution but later reneged on this deal insisting greedily that they must have all the land despite the vast majority of it already settled to them.
It was the Jewish presence that led to an influx of Arabs from surrounding nations attracted by wealth.

Although they greedily insist that they have all the land, the Jews at that time were not tortured like how Palestinians are tortured now.

Indeed, it is outrageous that the civilised countries of the world allow this continued Arab aggression that Israel has been subject to. The sooner we are free from oil, that allows Arab countries so much power, the better

Samar... I do not hate Islam, indeed my nephew and his family is Muslim, there home is in Morocco. But I hate violent aggression and when Jewish settlements had no militia they were subject to continual violence from Arabs. Now it is true, that Israel has also been violent but it is hard to see what choice they have. Israel is an independent sovereign nation, recognised as such by the community of nations yet from their inception they were attacked illegally by Arab nations in evil invasions and that evil aggression has continued.
The Arab nations, like naughty children, have used their control of Oil reserves to resist international reproach. But no longer should the civilised world continue to tolerate such bad behaviour

Your first two paragraphs seem to paint Israel as an utopian society. Congratulations to you if you are really living in such a society. I'm afraid the rest of the world is not as lucky as Israel. In the same breath you have also listed how the Israelis live, in short, in fear of attacks. I've never heard of "zip lock like" things to protect infants. The fact that Israel has developed such protective devices goes to show they must have encountered or engaged in hostilities over several years to come up with such ideas. This certainly contradicts your attempt in trying to paint Israel as a utopian society.
I believe the world understands the underlying explosive issues in the Middle East. In retrospect, you may have to think how Israel could have contributed to the on-going problems in the Middle East. Clearly, Israel like the rest of the Middle East countries is no saint.

Why are there more and more people who has stood up and say the opposite of what you say, that Israel is the aggressor?

Do you agree?
I don't agree,
"Below is a picture of the land of Israel"
This is land of Palestine occupied by the Zionists and helped by Balfour Declaration and some Western countries on the occupation.
"Beside it is listed all of the trials and tribulations"
What about Palestinian? how many massacres which Zionists have against them ?
1948 ,Deir Yassin killed nearly 610 and injured others, Arnold Toynbee said that the massacre similar to what the Nazis did to the Jews .
Kafr Qasim: killed about 3,500 people .
Khan Younis killed 250 people,
Ein ElZaytoun appointed killed 70 people restricted prisoners,
Beit Darras killed the elderly, women and children (260) while trying to escape from their town , which besieged army
1976 , Jenin refugee camp killed dozens and displaced hundreds of families
1982 Sabra and Shatila killed about 400 civilians other than the injured and there are 750 missing until today and the penalty killers: 14 U.S. cents on the brigade commander issued by the court of Zionism .
2008-2009 Gaza war killed 1440 and 5450 wounded and displaced 9,000 people
Gaza 2012 278 and 2158 injured
As for the Egyptian side has lost 15,000 killed and also captured the 4338 troops in 1967 and the use of napalm against the Egyptian army in the Sinai
19,549 wounded and 8528 killed 1973
Distinguish between Western Jews (A_kinazim), and Oriental Jews (Svardim) if they are doing it with the Jews, what should they do with the Arabs, Muslims and Christians
"It is time for the world to recognize the real dangers"
Actually it is time for the world to remove the mists of the eyes, and by the Zionist media machine, which controls the western media by falsification of the facts and show them that the Zionists is a peaceful lamb ,and that Arabs are the wolf who wants to preys them , but the opposite is the truth , Zionists want the land without the people , to build new settlements for more immigrants who come to them from the countries of the world and is this justice ? Occupy land , kill people or make them homeless and demolish their homes to build settlements for them and they already have their nationalities and countries where they lived? please be fair

In last few days I have grown my interest in the world history and I have read about the Israel a little bit. The people who live there follow the Judaism and they are not the real owner of the place, that is the reason behind the conflict, all the bombing that happen there.
I also heard about the Munich Olympic Massacre, of the September 1972. It was a sad incident and I real felt bad after it. The players were innocent and everything happened was sad. I think UN should take some good and effective action to stop all this.
