I don’t think that Israel is expansionist enough, Imajulianutter. I was fair enough to take the Arab lands won during the first Israeli war, after all, if you think different, perhaps you should be screaming about the annexation of Prussia (long considered the heart of Germany) by the Russians in 1945. How about all of the other German land taken from Germany by the victorious allied powers that was given to Czechoslavakia, Poland and France? Nobody whinges about that, because the consensus is that the Germans started the war and they deserved to have their land taken.

Now, apply the same logic to the Arabs.

The Arabs tried to wipe out Israel, and they failed. I don’t blame the Israelis from taking land from their enemies, especially land such as the Golan which is critical to Israels survival. The Israelis gave the Golan back to Egypt, and it now looks like the gyppoes will break their peace treaty with them. The Israelis gave back land to the so called “Palestinians” and all they got for thanks was Katyushka rockets sailing over their borders from Gaza.

The Israelis have just as much right to enact racist laws in their country as the Muslims have to enact racist laws against non Muslims in their countries. But how come you never squeal about the plight of non Muslims in Muslim countries? No. All your bile is directed towards Israel, because you have been conditioned to think that “intelligent” people support “Palestine”. And your self image is more important to you, than doing your homework and figuring out that the “Palestinians’ that you support are using you as an easily led fool.

I lived through a time when people like yourself thought the diametric opposite. I mean, you were just not cool unless you were a female who have been to Israel, worked on a Kibbutz, and got ferked by an Israeli para. But sometime during the late seventies, fashions changed, and people like yourself discarded the Israeli cause just like you discard you last summers dress to pick another from a clothing catalogue.

Leggo you are a disgrace.

Your language displays your inherent racism and your boorish mysogynism.

And your justifications your stupidity.
You won't complain in the future when Israel is overrun by Arab people will you?

I condemn Israel simply because it claims to be western liberal democratic in nature. The Arab states don't do that. When they present themselves as such obvious liars, as the Israelis do, then I'll condemn them equally.

I discarded Israel once I saw their oppression and land stealing.

The vast majority of us in the west questioned and rejected Israel after their defeat, by a bunch of lightly armed 'terrorists', during the Israeli aggressive expansionism in Lebanon and subsequent forced retreat.

Btw Golan is part of Syria not Egypt which Israel illegally keeps because of it's water. Don't ghet much right ... do you?

LEGO, You say "the Arabs tried to wipe out the Israelis".
That is only partly the story.It may have looked like it to you and every apologetic Zionist.
What the Arabs tried to do was to resist the Zionists breaching the Balfour Declaration that they, the Jewish political multimillionaires, were happy to accept at that time.
They had to give their word that nothing would be done unilaterally. Nothing would be done witout the agreement of the indigenous Arab population and nothing should be done that would disadvantage the Arabs.
Now comes the moment of truth,LEGO.If you can stand the truth!
Tell me honestly whether that is true or not. Everything that happened from that year onwards has been a betrayal of the truth.
Is it a fact or not that Israel has repeatedly ignored the UN Rewsolutions condemning the land grab?

Just these TWO vital questions,Lego. We are waiting your response.

Dear Lego,

Your quote; "The Israelis have just as much right to enact racist laws in their country as the Muslims have to enact racist laws against non Muslims in their countries."

Could just as easily read;"The Germans had just as much right to enact racist laws in their country as the Israelis have to enact racist laws against non Israelis in their countries."

Really?

csteele,

Agreed, that's obvious to all except Zionists and their fellow travellers whose attitudes towards the Palestinians seem reminiscent of 19th century European colonialists.

Regrettably, unlike South Africa, Israel has a very powerful friend.

LEGO,

Try reading a history of the foundation of Israel that wasn't written by Zionist propagandists, you might be enlightened. Oy vey!

As to Arab terrorism, google the 'Stern Gang'--'sow the wind....'
