Zionists steal land from the Palestinian farmers, an example is the wall/fence. They steal land from Palestinians , examples are numerous, count the number of illegal settlements. Were you complaining when Jordan's former ruler "stole" the ENTIRE WEST BANK and annexed it into his kingdom? I guess it was "stealing" too when the well financed Zionists first came to Palestine and starting buying up land from MORE THAN WILLING Arab inhabitants who had just got done stealing it from their Turkish overlords.. The British occupiers REFUSED to permit Jewish immigration into Palestine that involved coerced occupation if land in the Yishuv.. And let's face it, most British soldiers were not favorably inclined to the Zionists anyway.. They saw them as nothing more than a problem that would undermine the relationship they had with the Arabs in Palestine. So it's not likely they let the Zionists "tramp" upon the Arab inhabitants. Using that argument so can the Native Americans(the Sioux nation) and countless other groups. That's right.. and their reservations are STILL considered SOVEREIGN Indian territory (which is why they are able to set up very profitable casinos within the boundaries of states that strictly forbid it).. I'm not going to try and play apologist for the white invasion of land formerly occupied by Native Americans, being part Cherokee and Black Foot myself.. That was a different time, different rules.. Just as most Arabs would like to forget their conquest of the Middle East under the banner of Islam. I will say that most of these tribes were fighting with one another for the best hunting and fishing territory at any particular period. And they didn't have many qualms about wiping one another out, if they had the chance. That shortfall in oil deliveries kicked off a deep recession. The US lost $420 billion (in 2001 dollars) of output as a result, Stauffer calculates. And a boost in oil prices cost another $450 billion. I see, so now you're putting a price upon defending fellow democratic states from being invaded and wiped out by NON-DEMOCRATIC dictatorships and Monarchies? Gosh.. I wonder if France or England would agree that concept... Look at the money we spent defending and liberating them? Hawk
