If Mexico came in and took half of Cali would you not expect us to fight to get it back? Israel wasn't even a nation 100 years ago. It was created after WW2 to give the Jewish people a homeland. The land was taken from the Palestinians and they were forced to leave.

Now of course this was just the latest as the Jewish people had been run off that land 1000's of years ago. I mean that's what the crusades were about was that same section of land.

The deal is the Jews were given a homeland but yet still today the Palestinian are nothing more than refugees with out their own land. Nothing will ever be settled there until there is a Palestinian state. That's just the simple facts.

While I don't blame Israel for what they do, I mean hell they have been under attack since the first day they declared independence from British control. Yet on the flip side I can't blame the Palestinians for what they do..

The simple fact is both sides are in the right and in the wrong. Nothing will ever be solved there until both sides understand that and learn to live with each other.
Great write up but I don't think the Israelis ever were under British control.... The Brits had the mandate on Palestine originally and reluctanly gave it up to create the Israeli state after us pressure (what's new!)
