OTOT "I guess the settlements in West Bank are also being made by purchasing land? crapy BS" If the Arabs hand't tried to drive the Jews into the sea right after Israel declared itself a sovereign state, by power of the UN resolution granting Israel statehood out of the Palestine mandate, then the Jews wouldn't have had to defend themselves. The Palestinian Arabs were jealous as hell that the Jews were so successful and self reliant. The Jews were outnumbered 10 to 1, yet they still whipped the Arabs back. The pitiful land granted to the Israelis out of that UN resolution consisted of the worst strategic land to protect themselves from the constant Arab incursions and terrorism. So I don't blame them, that they took the strategic land, but only after the Arabs attacked first. Had your Arab friends had any brains, instead of just jealousy, they would have benefited from the incredible wealth and hard work that the Jews brought to the barren rock that was Palestine. There would be peace now. Originally, all the Jews wanted was a place where they could escape the pogroms and persecution all throughout Europe and Russia. They fled in droves to Israel, but the British tried their damndest to keep them out to appease the Arabs, since the Arabs had oil. The Israelis then began to purchase any land the Arabs would sell to them, which usually ended up being the worst God-fosaken land in Palestine. But the Jews built farms and gardens out of land that the Arabs pissed on for millenia. As the Jews proved to be self-reliant and built for themselves a democratic nation, the Arabs became increasingly jealous, stepping up their terrorism and persecution of the Jews. But this time, the Jews didn't just take it. They built themselves an army and started fighting back for the first time in two millenia. Too bad for the Arabs. It's much tougher trying to murder someone who will fight back. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and your Arab friends MHA. If you want what Israel has for itself, then build it for heavens sake, don't steal it. The U.S. built itself and threw off the yoke of British oppression. Israel did much the same thing, except it was the yoke of world-wide anti-semitism and persecution. The Arabs royalty got a free lunch with the oil, but the Arab population doesn't have much. So why dont they do something about it? Attacking Israel's and the Western nations innocent civilians isn't going to make things better for the Arab oppressed. Only revolution against Arab royalty is going to do that. And one word of advice, create for yourself a democracy, not another Islamic tyranny, as was created in Afghanistan. Another piece of advice. If you treat your women as equals, then your population will eventually become less violent and more peace loving.
