Before WW2, most Jews had long moved away from the the current state of Israeal to live elsewhere. The people of Palestine were not responsible for the Holoucast, so why should they give up their homeland to pay for the evil deeds done by the Nazis? More importantly, the creation of Israel is the root of much Middle East violence today.
Seriously, how would you feel if you are forced away from your home?
You're confusing Ashkenazi Jews with Mizrahi Jews.
I totally agree with you, the illegal immigration of non-Semetic Jews is one of the majour problems that should have been dealt with.
I'm from Sinai, so I guess I'd know a little bit about Israel and their tactics of building settlements and what not.
tranceshakeel, just wondering, which massacre are you refering to? If it's Sabra and Shatilla, I tend to put the blame more on the Lebanese that actually went in and comited the atrocity, rather than Sharon who was guilty of ignoring the situation. I don't believe he was guilty of giving any orders, just guilty of being apathetic to the whole situation.
Do you think that the Holocaust had anything to do with the creation of Israel? All I think it did was help accelerate the inevitable. Like I said, there has always been a significant Jewish population in the area.
I realize that there is much animosity over Isreal. However, I don't see it being moved -- by anyone including the UN -- anytime soon. Not so long as the IDF remains one of the best in the world.
That's all that needs to be said. Arabs can hold their breaths 'till their faces turn blue, and continue to deny the state of Israel all they want. Nothing is going to get better until you take steps forward. So long as you have idiots like Ahmedinijad who continue to fuel the hate, nothing is going to happen.
About Hezbollah:
The party was long supported by Iran, which provided it with arms and money.
In its early days, Hezbollah was close to a contingent of some 2000 Iranian Revolutionary guards, based in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, which had been sent to Lebanon in 1982 to aid the resistance against Israel.
As Hezbollah escalated its guerrilla attacks on Israeli targets in southern Lebanon, its military aid from Iran increased.

Should give the next PM of Israel more reason to get rid of the idiots over there and maybe bring back good old, secular Persia.
