Islamic Extremists take on Arab Elite!

@charles Said

Israel needs to stop the oppression in Gazza because they are creating the fuel the extremists need to fight their "war".

@hairsplitter Said

Ever since I can remember Palestine has attacked or provoked Israel. As long as Israel is provoked then I do not see an end in sight unfortunately. Now we have more Islamic people here in the United States and they are proving to be just as much a consternation as Hamas, etc. I do not think that even if Palestine were to have its' own nation the bloodletting would stop. Does this mean I am more pro Israel ? Then yes I am.

After World War II, Britain, in agreement with other world powers, created two Countries out of the British Protectorate that was, at that time, called Palestine. One of the countries was Israel and the other was Palestine. Much of the land which was given back to the Jewish people hand long been unproductive desert. In the fulness of time the newly arrived Jewish immigrants, many of them survivors of concentration camps, through back-breaking labor and under constant guerilla attacks by the PLO returned the desert to blooming gardens of fruits and vegetables. In the beginning, The local Palestinians and the Israelis got along quite well. But the rabid Islamic terrorists, even then, vowed that they would not rest until every man, woman and child of Jewish descent was driven to their deaths into the sea. They vowed ethnic cleasing of the whole middle east. And of course their terroristic attacks continue to this day. The Israeli's did not start the violence. They even, at first, tried to respond by diplomacy. But when children in schools are bombed to bits and the elderly in the homes and sysnogogues are bombed to bits no matter what you try to do, then self defense and one's right to survive kicks in and violence is returned for violence. All the Palestinians have to do is admit that Israel has a right to exist unmolested and they can then get on with the business of mutual support. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem. bybee

Yes, those of us who have been around long enough to have witnessed (via the media) the the incredibly viscious bloodbath which has been continually inflicted on Israel have drawn the conclusion that the extremists won't stop. They won't negotiate. People who will strap bombs on their own children cannot be dealt with. These people are engaged in child sacrifice. Surely this cannot be what the majority of Islamic people believe is acceptable to Allah? The Islamic people are responsible to stop the extremists in their midst. bybee

when some one come from another country and take your home and land
then forced you to go away
then at that time the UN say every one of you stay as he is now
i don't think you will face him with flowers

@pharon85 Said

killing children is not acceptable for any one
but here you mix between hamas and elqada in iraq
hamas never used children to bomb
you speak about extremists
the powerful one is who can extremist the other
so who is more powerful hamas with home made rockets or israel with nuclear weapons

Technically it was England's land, since they took it from the Ottomans (who took it from the Syrians. The Persians and Turks were about the only people who didn't suffer colonialism in the area, mostly because they were the ones along with Europe doing the taking). The real problem is the fact that England promised the same land to both Palestine AND Israel. Like many of their other deals, they promised anything they could to defeat their WWI enemies. In this case, to get the Palestinians to revolt against the Ottomans (and in Israel's case, to get the Jews out of Europe). Because of this, it's impossible to flat out declare it all belongs to 1 group or the other.
