"Punishing" Germany worked out real well after the first war, so I don't see why we didn't punish them even harder after the second.

Umm... but Germany was punished. It was split in half and this particular land (East Prussia) that I think should have been given for Israel was split between Poland and the Soviet Union, the German population expelled.Originally posted by Elok View Post

Gee, thanks for the history lesson. That Russian exclave used to be part of Germany? You don't say.Comment

No, I was aware of the fragmentation of Germany. It wasn't done for punitive purposes AFAIK.Comment

Well the point is that Germany lost East Prussia to Russia and Poland. I'm suggesting giving East Prussia for a Jewish state would have made more sense but the Soviets precluded that opportunity.Originally posted by Elok View Post"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

So why not give those lands to the Jews following WW2 rather than Poland? Why involve the Arabs, at all?"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Sucks to be a British colony, I guess.Comment

Palestine was never a British colony. It was under a League of Nations/British mandate."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

The difference, I think, between a colony and what the Brits had in place was that British settlers were not moved to live in "Palestine." See and compare Australia. Mandate Palestine was under British administration but it was not a British colony.Originally posted by gribbler View Post
yeah, okay, and North Korea is a democratic republic. "You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James NapierComment

1) Jews already had land in Russian Far East. No one really wanted to settle there.
2) We had to give something to Poland.
3) Zionists have wanted Palestine for a long time already.Graffiti in a public toilet
