Crimson > Does Israel have the right to exist in its current form? Here's an article that argues that it does. omegaletter.com >>What is really hard to find in history is a nation of Palestine. If we use Palestine as it was under the Ottoman Turks from 1517 to 1917, there is no Jordan, Syria, or Lebanon. Syria was created by the British and subsequently given to France as the French Mandate. The Syrians declared independence after the British left in 1946, two years before Israel did the same thing. How are they different? They are both historically 'Palestinian'. Either both the Arab Middle East and the Jewish homeland are equally valid, or equally invalid, since both were created by the same power at the same time.<< Of course, the UN superseded Britain as the arbiter of the Israel/Palestine polemic but because the UN has no teeth Israel has been able to get away with taking -- and keeping -- land intended for the Palestinians.
