<< ... occupying lands not belonging to them under the guise of self-defense ... >> Who cares? Accusations and distortions of history mean nothing. It boils down to "us against them". Is the world going to take the side of the terrorist backed Palestinians, or the side of the peace loving, highly civilized Israelis? In the expanding War against Terrorism, which side can America depend upon? Who is going to be with the US and not with the terrorists? The world is, just now, beginning to side with Israel, because the world is aware of the threat of the Palestinian Menace.

Forcing a "state" upon Arab nations, against their rights There weren't any Arab nations before the British gave them some -- they drew ALL the borders in the Mideast after the Ottomans fell. Now, it's clear the Arabs have sold you on the idea that they alone have some divine right to rule every square inch of the Mideast, with free rein to oppress their Christian, Jewish and Kurdish minorities in any way they see fit. I can see why the Arabs like this idea. But I don't see why I should buy the idea, or anyone else in the Western World should buy it either, for that matter. The whole idea turns on carefully observing the human rights of the Arabs, while ignoring the human rights of those whom the Arabs oppress. The Arabs may find it outrageous that any of the oppressed classes should wind up on top anywhere -- particularly Jews! -- but why should we?
