2. My personal belief is that the 1947 UN decision to take away some Arab land and hand it to a new state, Israel, was plain stupidity. The basis for "ownership" of this land by the people of Israel is the old testament, a scarcely believable document. The echoes of this stupid decision will be with us forever.

While it's probably not wise to enter into political/philosophical discussions in this forum, I just can't let your views simply sit here. The Jews never left Israel in their entirety, there's always been Jewish communities there; their ranks simply started swelling there in the 19th century, due to persecution and the Zionist movement, which said if other peoples don't want us, won't have us, let us go home.

It also wasn't "Arab" land, it was Turkish land that became a British mandate when the Turks picked the wrong side in WW I.

The Holocaust and the unwillingness of others to open their doors to Jewish refugees during/after the war opened the floodgates to Israel. With or without the UN, the Jewish state would've become a fait accompli.-one more opinion

PS- In your own country should the flood of French and English settlers in the 17th century be reversed and their peoples sent "home"?
