England and the US did not want to believe/did not care that Hitler was slaughtering the Jews until they had to deal with the magnitude of the crime."The League of Arab States (Arab League) Council, meeting in December 1947, said it would take whatever measures were required to prevent implementation of the resolution. " and they are still working at it ..... Wouldn't you? Here are two superpowers all upset because they let 6 million people die at the hands of a monster. So to assuage their guilt, they are telling the Arabs to step aside so that we, the guilt ridden, can create a homeland for the Jews and unfortunately, that happens to be where you've called home for nearly a 1k years. I know you don't want to admit it but it was a sh*t plan. We should have done up FL or AZ or NJ and called it Israel, but we were too chickensh*t to do something as practical as that."Moreover, the British forces in Palestine sided with the Arabs and attempted to thwart the Yishuv's attempts to arm itself. " and europians did not change either since then... Oh, they changed their opinion......how do you think the Yishuvs got the large arm shipment from Czechoslovakia in the late 40's. Germany has been one of Israel's strongest allies since WW II and even Britain came around. I hadn't realized this but the mood started changing in Europe sometime during the past ten years. I have said this before Israel can not ignore for long what her allies are telling her. It will only make matters worse. Israel can not take the tact anymore that its her way or the highway! ted Enter symbols or keywords for search: QuotesStock TalkChartsNewsPeople Symbol Lookup Subject Titles Only Full Text Go to Top Terms of Use
