The ottoman empire might have cared, and they were quite willing to sell the Jews land, but they were gone quite soon into the 20th century.
    The Arabs could have given you land but...

    put your self in their place then. The Ottoman caliphate was canceled and for the first time ever in the history of Islam there was no caliphate. The Arabs had no leadership, were divided their lands were occupied by Britain and France. They had very few armed forces, and literally every allay formed a small state. The Arabs who fought along with the British and the Allies in general in the WWI soon learned that Belfore some official in the British cabinet promised Palestine to the Israelis. Your Enemy whom you have trusted and got betrayed by is promising to give "others" some thing that belongs to you.

    how then would you expect the Arabs who haven't cared for politics for 4 centuries to behave ?

    and so one mistake lead to another and the two nations were built to be enemies which would allow the west to control this area. The Israelis don't dare not to follow every thing America and Europe tells it to do. the same goes for us. Divide and Conquer

    Obviously, pointing the finger isn't as childish as society makes it out to be. Our judical system revolves around "it's not my fault" and "I did it" (innocent/guilty), and that's how it works in politics as well. If, like Al Jazeera or the average pro-Palestinian makes it out to be, we simply decided to waltz into Palestine and steal all their land in order to create a State given to us by GAWWD, then nobody would even be debating this black/white good vs. evil conflict. However, it's much more complicated than that, and "it's our fault" or "it's their fault" determines the fate of the two nations.

    So Israel's creation is a huge conspiracy for world domination of the Arabs by the West?

    Both male and female walruses have tusks and have been observed using these overgrown teeth to help pull themselves out of the water.

    The mustached and long-tusked walrus is most often found near the Arctic Circle, lying on the ice with hundreds of companions. These marine mammals are extremely sociable, prone to loudly bellowing and snorting at one another, but are aggressive during mating season. With wrinkled brown and pink hides, walruses are distinguished by their long white tusks, grizzly whiskers, flat flipper, and bodies full of blubber.
    Walruses use their iconic long tusks for a variety of reasons, each of which makes their lives in the Arctic a bit easier. They use them to haul their enormous bodies out of frigid waters, thus their "tooth-walking" label, and to break breathing holes into ice from below. Their tusks, which are found on both males and females, can extend to about three feet (one meter), and are, in fact, large canine teeth, which grow throughout their lives. Male walruses, or bulls, also employ their tusks aggressively to maintain territory and, during mating season, to protect their harems of females, or cows.
    The walrus' other characteristic features are equally useful. As their favorite meals, particularly shellfish, are found near the dark ocean floor, walruses use their extremely sensitive whiskers, called mustacial vibrissae, as detection devices. Their blubbery bodies allow them to live comfortably in the Arctic region—walruses are capable of slowing their heartbeats in order to withstand the polar temperatures of the surrounding waters.
    The two subspecies of walrus are divided geographically. Atlantic walruses inhabit coastal areas from northeastern Canada to Greenland, while Pacific walruses inhabit the northern seas off Russia and Alaska, migrating seasonally from their southern range in the Bering Sea—where they are found on the pack ice in winter—to the Chukchi Sea. Female Pacific walruses give birth to calves during the spring migration north.
    Only Native Americans are currently allowed to hunt walruses, as the species' survival was threatened by past overhunting. Their tusks, oil, skin, and meat were so sought after in the 18th and 19th centuries that the walrus was hunted to extinction in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and around Sable Island, off the coast of Nova Scotia.

    I didn't say it was a conspiracy but it is a plan to divide the Arabs and get rid of the Jews at the same time. Have you ever heard of the Sykes Picot agreement?

    So yeah, a conspiracy!
    Have you thought that maybe they just felt we had suffered enough and wanted to give us a homeland? We're talking about the days of imperialism, when they didn't quite understand the consequences of directing millions of Jews into the middle of the Arab World and it just seemed "romantic" to have the People of the Book resseruct their biblical homeland which meant so much to them. The Zionists couldn't believe their luck of course, but even if the British would have given them a piece of land in South America or something they would have accepted it too.

    Even if they wanted to "end your suffer" it is also to divide the Arabs. Have you read about the Sykes Pikot Agreement ? Read it before oversimplifying things cz sometimes chicken little knows what he is talking about.
    The crusades were initiated to capture the wholly land but it was mainly carried out due to the strategic needs of Europe then. This is not very different from what we are talking about.

    Dont kid yourself, Israel was created to serve Western interests in the middle east. The same goes for Jordan and any other artificial state in the middle east.

    100% true, even Lebanon
    It is not a conspiracy as in Angels and daemons, it is just a strategic game the powerful nations play.

    The only two places that Jews have always lived relatively well is the USA and Israel. The USA has it's share of anti-semites too, but there are enough Jews there to watch out for one another and prosper. I have lived in both Britain and Australia, and in both places Jews have to live with every-day anti-semitism. Yes, it's not like how it was 50 years ago, but you can't walk around with a yarmulke on your head, you get beaten up on the school bus (Jewish schools share their buses with Goy schools), people spit on the ground when they walk next to you - it's all very unpleasent. Back then it was much worse than simply unpleasent of course, when Christians burnt Jews in their own synagogues and the only states to accept Jewish refugees before and after the holocaust were Venezuela and about two other third-world countries who could do with a few Jews in their enconomy (we did wonders for Venezuela). All the countries you mentioned (especially South Africa and Russia) have Jewish communities who have been persecuted at times and have to face prejudice everywhere except for Israel. I've mentioned all this in another thread in much more detail, but yes, the Jewish state is necessary.
    every minoritiy has to deal with .. blacks... jews.. muslims etc... it doesnt mean you can go to some random spot on earth and take it over and persecute the locals..

    very true.. the entire middle east was created to serve western interests...

    Except that Blacks and Muslims all had many countries of their own and we had to live under foreign rule for two millenia. And again, the typical Muslim (yes, I said it: most Muslims don't know about the Arab-Israeli conflict and talk biased nonsense about it) rant of how we simply waltzed in and took over your people and broke the necks of pregenant women. The Arabs were the ones who raided our perfectly legal cities for no reason even before the Balfour decleration. Newcomers have settled next door and they needed to accept it, not try to drive them into the sea.

    There have been many, many Arab massacares of innocent Jewish civillians in Palestine. That is what gave rise to the Jewish terrorists too, and the need for the stockade/tower cities.

    Does it make you feel big inside, knowing that you have instantly offended hundreds of millions of people all over the world who haven't done a thing to you and suffered at the hands of Hitler? I wonder if you have wet dreams at night of Jews and other untermencsh being fed into gas chambers or stoves by their millions...

    I dunno..there were few places in the world to give jews a new country. Russia was not an option after ww2 (although I bet jews could have even managed to run a country there)
    The question was whether the jewry can forget about Palestine ever, the promised land.
    After ww2 it may have been inevitable to grant the jws what they had lost long time ago, due to the sufferings they have seen in the hands of nazis.
    Even though the british were reluctant at first to allow jews back into the Holy land.

    In other words your saying they didnt care for the Jews at all and even hated them because they tought they were part of some conspiracy to hrut them. Guess we agree then.

    every minoritiy has to deal with .. blacks... jews.. muslims etc... it doesnt mean you can go to some random spot on earth and take it over and persecute the locals
    Indeed, when they do that they become something called a majority, and generally they have to deal with a lot less ""

    He had no comeback so he changed his avatar to the Palestine flag. Says something about anti-Israelis though - there are two kinds of anti-Israelis; the ones who live in a liberal Western country and are repeatedly fed images of poor Palestinians trying to gain sympathy points from the media, and the ones who are somehow related to the other side of the conflict (whether they are Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims or closely knows Arabs, Palestinians or Muslim), are repeatedly brainwashed by their surroundings to think of Israelis as the scum of the Earth and think that trying to understand the other point of view would be a betrayl.

With wrinkled brown and pink hides, walruses are distinguished by their long white tusks, grizzly whiskers, flat flipper, and bodies full of blubber.
    Walruses use their iconic long tusks for a variety of reasons, each of which makes their lives in the Arctic a bit easier. They use them to haul their enormous bodies out of frigid waters, thus their "tooth-walking" label, and to break breathing holes into ice from below. Their tusks, which are found on both males and females, can extend to about three feet (one meter), and are, in fact, large canine teeth, which grow throughout their lives. Male walruses, or bulls, also employ their tusks aggressively to maintain territory and, during mating season, to protect their harems of females, or cows.
    The walrus' other characteristic features are equally useful. As their favorite meals, particularly shellfish, are found near the dark ocean floor, walruses use their extremely sensitive whiskers, called mustacial vibrissae, as detection devices. Their blubbery bodies allow them to live comfortably in the Arctic region—walruses are capable of slowing their heartbeats in order to withstand the polar temperatures of the surrounding waters.
    The two subspecies of walrus are divided geographically. Atlantic walruses inhabit coastal areas from northeastern Canada to Greenland, while Pacific walruses inhabit the northern seas off Russia and Alaska, migrating seasonally from their southern range in the Bering Sea—where they are found on the pack ice in winter—to the Chukchi Sea. Female Pacific walruses give birth to calves during the spring migration north.
    Only Native Americans are currently allowed to hunt walruses, as the species' survival was threatened by past overhunting. Their tusks, oil, skin, and meat were so sought after in the 18th and 19th centuries that the walrus was hunted to extinction in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and around Sable Island, off the coast of Nova Scotia.

    Isn't it hard to take the moral high ground when Israel did pretty much the same thing not two decades later?

    Both male and female walruses have tusks and have been observed using these overgrown teeth to help pull themselves out of the water.
