Why do you think its ok for arabs to steal the land of Israel, yet you condemn Jews for taking it back? Sounds like you have something against jews to me...
Umm, that was 2,000 years ago!
You of all people are on very thin ground, seeing as from where I'm sitting a comment like that means that you're preparing to give New Zealand back to the Maoris!

Slightly irrelevant dont you think? Please try to stay on the topic.

I'm sorry, Mobius, but this is beyond the pale. You either do not know the history of the region or you are a racist, slandering ****.
Sorry, which part don't you like Ned?
Did the Zionists not lobby the UK, US and UN to allow them to settle Israel and give them part of it as an independent Jewish state?
Did the locals who were already there want them!??
Are there not millions of Palestinian refugees and their descendants who are barred from returning home? Has their land not been, er, 'appropriated?
Is Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza not illegal in the eyes of the UN?
Are the settlements not being built and expanded in occupied East Jerusalem?
Would you care to enlighten me as to why all that is outlined above is 'beyond the pale'.
Perhaps a brief history of the region from my learned friend is in order?
Just because you don't like the truth, you have to resort to branding me a racist, slandering ****. How very eloquent! Bravo! A rapier-like wit this World has not yet seen until this very day has been unveiled on this very board!
Whereas you are waaaay off the mark with your own slanderous comments unless you can pull apart each and every one of my statements listed above - I can be accurate in the certain knowledge that you, sir, a complete moron...
Did the Zionists not lobby the UK, US and UN to allow them to settle Israel and give them part of it as an independent Jewish state?
Yes
Did the locals who were already there want them!??
Yes again, there were 400, 000 Jews in palestine in 1945 (I can provide net census data to prove this)THEY sure wanted them.
Are there not millions of Palestinian refugees and their descendants who are barred from returning home? Has their land not been, er, 'appropriated?
No. They renounced their claim to the UN resolution of november 1947, and ceded their claims to Egypt, Syria and Jordan, and in so doing, lost all LEGAL right of return. Therefore the land was NOT appropriated, it was lost by those countries when the aggressive war they launched failed.
Is Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza not illegal in the eyes of the UN?
The UN sees with Jew hating eyes, so it's pointless to even mention them. The arab states outnumber the Jews by something like 60-1 in the UN, who do you think would be favored?
Are the settlements not being built and expanded in occupied East Jerusalem?
It's pretty hard to "occupy" a place your people built and had stolen, don't you think?
Would you care to enlighten me as to why all that is outlined above is 'beyond the pale'.
Because you never admit the jews have rights and only condemn them.

Can I ask Do the pro Israeli poster feel that because the Jewish nation lived in the region 1300 years ago They now have the right to take whatever actions to make it soley Jewish again.
I know that Jews have always lived in the region (since that time).
Also have you taken into account that many of the Jewish families in that region may have become Christians, Muslims or whatever. Do they now loose their rights because they are not Jewish i.e they have lived in the region over this time period but now have to leave.
We cannot forget that the first Christians were actually Jewish this argument cannot be ignored.
How does the we were there first argument hold up to these kind of factors?
Yes again, there were 400, 000 Jews in palestine in 1945 (I can provide net census data to prove this)THEY sure wanted them.
Er, and I'm sure you know this full well, you should be considering how many Jews were in Israel before the Balfour Treaty... A huge number illegally entered the country during the 30's and 40's. I'm talking about before the wheels were set in motion to begin creating a Jewish State... Either way, they would still have been the minority.
No. They renounced their claim to the UN resolution of november 1947, and ceded their claims to Egypt, Syria and Jordan, and in so doing, lost all LEGAL right of return. Therefore the land was NOT appropriated, it was lost by those countries when the aggressive war they launched failed.
F*ck me, you have a strange sense of fair play... Their leaders renounced the resolution, because they rightly felt they were being shafted! So all the hundreds of thousands of civilians lost their land over the decisions of a few hotheads? How very convenient... It WAS appropriated - BY CONQUEST!
The UN sees with Jew hating eyes, so it's pointless to even mention them. The arab states outnumber the Jews by something like 60-1 in the UN, who do you think would be favored?
Oh right, yeah I forgot that there's only 61 countries in the UN...
Silly me!
The UN sees with 'Israel is in the wrong' eyes - naturally all the moderate and level headed governments of the World such as Europe, NZ etc vote against the Israeli occupation...
It's pretty hard to "occupy" a place your people built and had stolen, don't you think?
Yeah, 1,300 years ago - ancient history!!! Say didn't the Israelites conquer it from someone else. Shouldn't we give it back to them?
Remember, your family lives on former Maori land - do you not find your argument for Israel strangely at odds with the NZ treatment of the Maoris...?
Some might say that that might be a hypocritical stance?
Because you never admit the jews have rights and only condemn them.
Jews have rights! As a religion Jews have as many rights in the US for example as Christians!
What is plain WRONG, is that Jews have more and better rights in Israel and do Palestinians!!!
The point of it being a Jewish State, is that it will never be a secular state - by definition, it HAS to descriminate against non Jewish otherwise it would be a Jewish state!!!
That! In case you hadn't noticed, is the whole point of this thread being called APARTHEID IN ISRAEL...
Oy Vey!
Anywho - much as it is fun running rings around you, I must go to bed!
