I believe that a state of Israel should exist. I do not believe that it should cover all the land that was taken. The leaders of the time were angry that the land allocated to Israel wasn't larger. Wasn't "Greater Israel". Every action over there is used as an excuse to add additional land. Even the wall being built is not following 67 borders but grabbing more land.
Yes, Israel has a right to exist. Yes the people over there had a right not to welcome a mass influx of refugees with open arms back in 40's. Yes I wish you would accept the fact that the jewish leaders did all in their power to prevent their being 2 independent states right at the get go and in fear of too many Arabs being around to have a truly jewish state developed concious programs for their removal.
This picture that is painted of the Palestinians being all bad and the jews loving them to be around and just wanting to get along has done more to make this horrible situation continue.

Yes Israel has a right to exist. Israel should be thankful to the world for taking pity on the survivors of the WWII and allowing for the land to be made available. Israel should stop using every event as a pretext for trying to get more land and water.
