Israel is not an exclusively jewish state and will never become one. It is a fascist concept. A quarter of the population of Israel are non-jews. It is a homeland for jews.. According to international law, Israel must leave land that it illegally aquired in 6 days in 1967 and all Palestinians who were forceably removed must be allowed to return to the land and homes that were stolen from them. That is the law.

if the Nazis had won the war, I wonder what the dominant "history" of the last 60 yrs would have been. I suppose that scholars living today who managed to put together the facts about the Holocaust would be called "revisionists".

The fact is that the standard history of 48 and 67 that has been taught in Israel and the US for the last 50-25 yrs has been a self-aggrandizing oversimplification of one side of the struggle.

@choppermfg that's another garbage propoganda of the oil lobby in the u.s.a and europe. thses assholes convinced the world that it's o.k when israelis get killed, it's o.k that israeli soliders would be hijacked, it's o.k that israeli town would absorb rockets and morters and it's o.k to refuse going to negociate about peace and rather continue the terrorism. what a shame to the western civilized world.

@TheLordIdanZiegeL

I am sorry but the biggest terrorist and the IDF

[TheLordIdanZiegeL]

@AZAAGAB i'm sorry to burst your bubble on this matter, and b.t.w if you check the statistics you see very well that more than 98% of all the terrorist organizations are islamic. they embrace to koran for their hideous acts. i think you should change your perspective about "satanic religion" concerning the jews. these darn beduins that came out of the desert in the 7th century destroyed our world. it was better if they'd believe in rocks and stones and fucked sheeps in the arab peninsula

[TheLordIdanZiegeL]

@AZAAGAB arabs did kill jews in their states. jews were concidered in many muslim state as lower class citizens. there were also pogroms just like in damascus in 1840. jews were forced to live also in a closed ghettos and were banned from all kinds of stuff like riding a horse just to humiliate them. look what happens to arabs that aren't worshiping islam in arab countries- persecuted, humiliated, their prayer houses are being set on fire and thus many are forced to immigrate. it's not only jews
