Statement of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold
On the Hezbollah Attacks on Israel

July 14, 2006

“I stand firmly with the people of Israel and their government as they defend themselves against these outrageous attacks. The kidnapping of Israeli soldiers and missile attacks against Israeli citizens are unacceptable and cannot be tolerated. The first steps toward establishing peace must begin with the unconditional and immediate return of the kidnapped Israeli soldiers. Lebanon, Syria, Iran and countries throughout the region must also condemn the actions of Hezbollah, Hamas, and other groups committed to blocking the peace process and must take strong actions to return stability to the region immediately.”

Because the Europeans took their land just as the Israelis took the Arabs land.

This isn't a fair representation of events. Jews were initially welcomed in Palestine and bought land from Arabs, tau8ght Arabs lots of things about land cultivation and etc. It's not until the Israelis decide to permanently partition a chunk of shared land into Israeli land (or at least until that objective becomes clear) that the Arab hatred begins. It's sort of like the homeless, stateless people (the Jews) that the Arabs (and others in the region) welcomed and became equal neighbors with eventually decided that the Arabs were no longer welcome on some of the shared land.
