The British Empire re-established a homeland for the Jews, they had the authority to do so as they had conquered all that land. The Jews went into the land that was established as theirs and bought out those Arabs that claimed, without any proof in many cases at inflated prices.

As far as Jericho, Ramallah, Gaza, the West Bank goes those belong to Isreal by conquest just as much as the land previously belonged to Britian. The one strong enough to hold the land, owns the land, it has been thus since the dawn of man, or didn't you know that?

I see, so the land is rightfully Israel's because they conquered it. Tell me then: if Israel gained the land by conquering it, why is it wrong for the Arabs to try to do the same? Furthermore, if Israel's claim is based on nothing more than the right of conquest, why is the US or any other Western power morally obliged to support Israel?

The error Israel made was in allowing anyone besides Israelies to remain there. Now it's time to toss the rabble out. And the international community should back off and shut it's pie hole until this is accomplished.

2 points:

1) I see you are on record advocating ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. If you honestly beleive such a plan is politically feasible, you are in need of a serious reality check.
2) The International Community will back off when Israel stops taking all the free money it gets from the West. Until then the West, specifically the US, gets to tell Israel what to do.

Please. The Arabs tried many times to do the same, and they got their butts kicked. They gambled for more land, and lost the gamble. Now they are trying to get it back - without risking anything - by convincing the ignorant that the Israelis are the Bad guys and should just hand the land over.

Still, as unreasonable as that is, consider how the Israelis handled the deal with Egypt. The Palis could do the same if they would be as reasonable as Egypt was.

As for ethnic cleansing not being politically feasible, that may be true. But it does not make it right.

Ethnic Cleansing has bad connotations, but it does not have to be cruel. The fact is, unless the Palestinians stop the terrorists in their midst, they have no right to expect the Israelis to treat them as friends. Unless that happens quickly, the best thing that could happen would be for the 2 parties to live apart.

BTW, what do you think would happen to the Jews who did not choose to be "ethnically cleansed" from the future Palestinian state?

Yes, I am all for running the Palestinians out by any means. The problem is not Israel's nor the Palestinians who have a right to fight to the death over land. It is with the International community that should butt out.

It is the U.N., Europe, and the US allowing them to influence our policy, that is flustrating both sides of the conflict. The problem could be settled in less than a month, but the international community keeps the pot boiling over there, and trading land for peace is not the answer and never will be.

The answer is to kill those that seek to kill you, as it has been since the dawn of man. We have not evolved beyond tooth and claw, only our toys have improved. Arab terrorist are slathering unappeasable animals that want blood and only blood, I say drown them in their own, rather than make lame attempts to negotiate the rate of your death with them.

Arafat and all those that follow him should be moldering in the grave, Israel should be allowed to arrange that.
