Lemonking said:do guys watch the news?
Im talking about the Jews/Israelis
kirovman said:I'm sure Lemonking's not 35 years old.
Anyway, I heard that Isreal is withdrawing, but walling the area off, in effect creating a giant prison for the Palestinians. Hopefully the two nations will be able to reconcile their differences one day.
Lemonking said:Gazza?
they have no right being there.....they stole the land from the Palestine (whatever^^)
The_Monkey said:That was the biggest misstake the UN has ever made.
wtfIt was arab land when Israel was founded in 1948. The jews hadn't lived there for 5000 years, but they still consider it their land. That was the biggest misstake the UN has ever made.
RakuraiTenjin said:I think the withdrawal is in Israel's best long term interests (they can take the kid gloves off in defending themselves and the terrorists lose a huge chunk of their propoganda base)
However, to say something like "the land was stolen" is wrong and uncalled for. They were invaded by the Arabs, and yes, collectively I say it, because it was (almost) every Arab nation. They took the land in war DEFENDING themselves against a massive unprovoked strike. Didn't see Jordan, which is actually the Palestinian's home state, ever helping them. It became a complicated situation with the settlers and those there now, but to say the land was 'stolen' or something like that is completely wrong, it paints Israel as thieves when that's not the case.
Feath said:Oh god, what has the overweight Geordie done now?
Eg. said:well lets see.
1. The west bank and the gaza strip are legally Isreal's. Why? Because they were claimed in a defensive action. Eygpt, Jordan, and the such attacked isreal, and in response, Isreal retaliated and counter-invaded. By international law, Isreal is the roghtful owner of the land, as they were on the defense.
2. Comparing the 6 day war to the Normandy landings is stupid. Hitler led a continued campaign of conquest across all of europe. Hitler also decided he would like to conquer the world
isreal was created from pre-existing colonial land, and the nations around it were also carved from that colonial land. none of the nations would be there without someone drawing a line. isreal MAINTAINED ITS BORDERS until OTHER NATIONS ATTACKED IT. REPEATEDLY WITHOUT CAUSE. yes, isreal is a constant threat to all nations around it, and must be destroyed as quickly as possible.
3. there is no such thing as a palastinian. they were the local arabic population that lived in the colony known as Palastine. when it comes to ethnic and family relations, they are broken up geographically. they only created the term palastinian, as a emtional tool in teh 1970's.
THE ARABIC nations surrounding isreal, such as LEBANON have laws restricting the "palastinians" ability to get jobs or own proptery. no one else wants them, no on is willing to expel them into another arabic nation and start a conflict over it. resolution: dump them on the jews, theyll kill eachother off.
They stole the land from the Arabs. Jews got 50% of the land, being 20% of the population. Even then it was unfair, but now, Israel has expanded so much that practical all of Israel is occupied. Just the fact that they lived there 5000 years ago does not give them the right to steal the land from another people.sinkoman said:I'm interested in hearing why you think so.
Your UN made the choice...they basically created a country for Israel...the arabs didn't like it. So they attacked and LOST. It's Israel's land now. Rather you like it or not.The_Monkey said:They stole the land from the Arabs. Jews got 50% of the land, being 20% of the population.

That's how war is people. When you capture someones land it's YOURS...illegal or not. So get the **** over it.
Grey Fox said:Hitler did not wanted to conquer the world, he wanted to expend the living space of th germand people, which meant taking over europe, he drove people away out of their homes, conquered land, and was then attacked by the allied surrounding nations. The jews drove the palestinians out of their homes, conquered their land, and were attacked by the surrounding nations who were allied with teh palestinians. No it's pretty much like normandy.
By international law the jews do not even belong their in the first place.
The fact that there was no land called palestina doesn't mean that the arabs weren't driven from their homes, it doesn't mean they didn't live there.
I guess the genocide and the stripping of the land on the indians was OK cause they didn't have a nation, and you would do it all over again if you had the chance wouldn't you.
Source? proof?DeusExMachinia said:Actually, Hitler did want to conquer the world. He had secret documents detailing how he was going to take over America.
Russia was winning the war at that time. Russia practically won the war, and would have done, irrellavant of the normandy landings.Kebean said:So there you go, my guess as to how things could have ended up had we not helped Britain and done the Nrmandy landing.
Yeah otherwise we would have ended up like Russia.o, infact hitler was willing to come to a peace agreement with the US, luckly you refused.
Russia won due to not enough troops on the front to press an attack during the winter. Russia would have lost, fighting Germany by itself.Russia was winning the war at that time. Russia practically won the war, and would have done, irrellavant of the normandy landings.

Is that so ?,Actually, Hitler had to build his power base back up again, break peace agreements (Which, in my opinion, weren't fair to Germany.) and work his way to power through the people, and then start an unprovoked attack through a neutral nation
baxter said:Is that so ?,
Maybe you could expand on this.
Build up his power base again ?
Work his way to power through people?
Peace agreements?
Start an unprovoked attack through a neutral nation ?
staticprimer said:1. After WWI, Germany's economy was left in ruins. The Deutschmark was worthless, as people had to bring wheelbarrows full of money to pay for even bread. On top of that, France took a large part of its industry, which was in Alcaice(sp?)-Lorraine, after the Treaty of Versallies. Hitler managed to take Germany out of a massive depression and turn it into the highest producing nation in Europe.
2. After WWI, the German peoples' confidence in their government was completely shot, due in no small part to the economy, and the humiliating terms of the Treaty of Versallies. Hitler gained the trust of the people by using scapegoats (Jews, Gypsies, etc) and convinced the people to have pride once again.
Lt. Drebin said:OK. I think that's about enough credit given to the governement of a murderous sociopath for one day, don't ya think.
Nothing better than pride formed around hellacious hatred. :|
staticprimer said:I agree, but I was merely answering baxter's request. If you want, I can list all of the atrocious acts he commited that more than offsets the benefits he brought to Germany, but most of those are common knowledge.
The economy was in tatters due to the reparations they were forced to pay the allies. He didn’t create any miraculous economical recovery he simply ignored the treaty1.

Yes he did, through massive propaganda pounding his rhetoric at the Soviets, democrats, communists, capitalists and Jews backed up the terror tactics of his storm troopers2.

Don’t need to goggle it mate, kind of heard of it before, I just assumed , wrongly that Hitler’s tearing up of the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact before launching an all out assault on the Soviets was the one being revered to.3. The peace agreement was the Treaty of Versallies. I don't really need to go into it in detail as it is one of the most important documents of the 20th century. Google it.
Germany and the Soviet Union invaded Poland and met in the middle, after the signing of the above mentioned pact.4. Germany took over Austria, Czecheslovakia, and Poland. Need I say more?
