do what you gotta do
Yes.
It seems even the Israelis don't know what is going on.
Did you watch Occupation 101, Morgentaler?
They didn't start that war paddy, the Arabs did. That's what happens when you amass an army full of tanks & jets on the border of a nation you have threatened to wipe out. 9 countries amassed weapons, men and supplies along the border rattling their rusty sabers. There's nothing to wait for. The intent was quite clear.
I used to read every scrap of news I could about Israel. I've studied the history and read numerous books on the subject. It's one of the most confusing and complicated bits of modern world history. The roots of the modern conflict extend back before the time of Christ. It's no wonder people have no clue what the fuck is going on over there and obviously have their history "confused". In any conflict you will always have both or all sides involved pointing the finger at the other guy. Has Israel done some things they aren't proud of? Yes. Have the Palestinians been complete fools? Yes. End of story. Anybody who takes the sides of the Palestinians is either antisemitic or simply misinformed. For the most part, Israel has been the victim. They have been attacked numerous times by their Arab neighbors. We do get fed some propaganda but in reality Israel wants to be left alone. If the palestinians would take the deal offered by the Israelis the conflict would be over. They are never going to get a better deal than what's been offered. They are not going to get rid of Israel. The Arabs say they back the Palestinians but what are they doing to help? Not much. Egypt could give up a little bit of the Sinai but they won't. Syria could give up a bit of the Golan heights, but they won't. Israel has given Gaza and the West Bank to the palestinians. The settlements have been all but halted. Israel has removed a ton of their own settlers by force! What more can they do? Roll over and die? Not gonna happen! The jews have been persecuted throughout history. They deserve to have their own very small country. The palestinians hold their destiny in their own hands. They can either make the best of it or keep up the fighting and never get what they say they want. The whole situation is a bad one and is more complicated than most people could ever imagine.They didn't start that war paddy, the Arabs did. That's what happens when you amass an army full of tanks & jets on the border of a nation you have threatened to wipe out. 9 countries amassed weapons, men and supplies along the border rattling their rusty sabers.

Totally outnumbered in forces and tactically, the Israelis still managed to humiliate the Arabs, and THAT's A BIG reason why they are all still pissed today.
They were humiliated, and rightfully so. Israel should not have to give back one square meter of land.
The Arabs don't deserve it back. They caused the attack by amassing a very large army on Israel borders, and they lost. It's pretty simple.
How you could look at Israel as the aggressor there is beyond me......
Technically, all the Jewish Israelis are Zionists.What proportion of Israelis would you guess are Zionists?
"I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables
I've tried to find the key
To fifty million fables
chorus:
They call me The Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die
I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked The Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either
chorus
People tend to hate me
'Cause I never smile
As I ransack their homes
They want to shake my hand
Focusing on nowhere
Investigating miles
I'm a seeker
I'm a really desperate man
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die
I learned how to raise my voice in anger
Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile?
I'm happy when life's good
And when it's bad I cry
I've got values but I don't know how or why
I'm looking for me
You're looking for you
We're looking in at each other
And we don't know what to do
chorus"

You got an unfiltered education then ... well done!^^^^^thats the way i remember learning of the war
Yes, yes, I know why. Blah blah blah."I've seen it on Canadian, BBC, Al-Jazeerah, but can't think of the last time I saw CNN question what's going on there."
A wise old hippie once winked me a clue in broad daylight as to why.
