It was the Arabs who first attacked Israel from its inception; every subsequent war was because of Arab aggression: Israel never started any of them. Israel was declared a State and voted in, in 1948 and the surrounding Arab countries never accepted that Jews should live in the land they were historically tied to for centuries.<BR/>Read my posts on the history of Israel and the region; better yet, read this book: <B>From Time Immemorial</B>, by Joan Peters, to find out the <I>real</I> story behind all the lies and fabrications and 'spin' that the Arabs give the history of the region.<BR/>They are being "occupied" because those territories were captured in a war which the Arabs started; those areas should have been annexed to Israel proper in 1967.<BR/>To this day, the Arabs have not shown any interest in giving any concessions to Israel, and let's start with officially recognizing the Jewish State, huh? Next, let the Palestinian Authority (which it has little of) clamp down on the 'militants' shooting the kassam rockets into Sderot and other cities.<BR/>If some of them are 'starving,' as you put it, it's not because of Israel. Many of them work in Israel, and their working conditions and pay is far better than if they worked for their own people. Their leaders are who are keeping them down: Israel gave Gaza back to them, with means for employment and industry 'on a platter,' if you will. And what did they do with it? They trashed it. It seems they are incapable of building a state of their own, mainly because of corrupt and power-hungry leaders, and a much less civilized culture, compared to Israel. It's not Israel's job to 'feed' them: it's their own leaders who need to to this. Problem is, the Arabs don't take care of their own.<BR/>You need to educate yourself about the history of the conflict, and then perhaps you'll understand.<BR/>Thanks for your comment.Lady-Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992305067771885711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229062.post-22626592603454627692008-02-20T21:37:00.000-07:002008-02-20T21:37:00.000-07:00I think the world gets it now.

It still confounds me how people still do not understand the Islamic threat growing against the West and that Israel is a free democracy fighting the very same religious fuelled violence we all are.Beamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516397458228874124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229062.post-42101643899134732192008-02-06T21:58:00.000-07:002008-02-06T21:58:00.000-07:00Lots of good things in the post.Remember that no m...Lots of good things in the post.<BR/><BR/>Remember that no matter how "pro-Israel" US Pres candidates have been, they've been bad news for us when in power.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.com
