| Greg, my opinion is not, as you suggest, taken from a snapshot from the mainstream news. I have been following the situation in the middle east for many years, have spoken to various Muslims and Jews on the subject and came to a considered opinion.
Also I should point out that the reason the UN has left this situation to fester is that the US has consistently vetoed any resolution which includes authorisation for military action to make the area safe for civillians, and force Israel to respect the borders agreed in the Sixties.
Ash, You ask three questions.
"Where else can a Jew go to flee persecution?"
America, Britain, France, Spain..........The list is endless.
"Was there this much conflict when Britain controlled Isreal?"
I don't know. I was not alive then, but I have not heard of such animosity during that period. In fact before modern day Israel existed Palestine (as the whole area was knowen then) was inhabited by Christians, Jews and Muslims in peace. Or so I am told.
"Why does Isreal belong to the Palestinians?"
It does not. Israel belongs to the Israelis. Palestine Belongs to the Palestinians. They are two seperate nations whose borders are defined by the United Nations. Israel is currently occupying Palestinian land in Gaza and the West Bank.
Japle, you clearly have a prejudiced opinion agains Muslims. If you really believe that in Mosques across the world Imams are preaching "Kill the Jews, kill the Jews" I beg you, speak to a muslim. Ask his opinion of Jews. Most muslims are very kind people whose main concern is raising and providing for their family. |
