    Maybe someone should remind Jared that Israel exists today due to terrorism. I am very curious to hear his opinion about the history.

    On 22 July 1946, Irgun bombed the British administrative headquarters for Palestine, killing 91.[155][156][157][158][159][160] The attack initially had the approval of the Haganah. It was conceived as a response to Operation Agatha (a series of raids, including one on the Jewish Agency, by the British) and was the deadliest directed at the British during the Mandate era.[159][160] The Jewish insurgency continued throughout 1946 and 1947 despite concerted efforts by the British military and Palestine Police Force to suppress it. British efforts to mediate a negotiated solution with Jewish and Arab representatives also failed as the Jews were unwilling to accept any solution that did not involve a Jewish state and suggested a partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, while the Arabs were adamant that a Jewish state in any part of Palestine was unacceptable and that the only solution was a unified Palestine under Arab rule. In February 1947, the British referred the Palestine issue to the newly formed United Nations.

      Someone should remind you that Israel was around in pre biblical times. I have no dog in this fight but trying to claim that an Arabic people were there first is rich. The problem Israel has is that it is a point between many world powers and is constantly being taken over and ruled by them as their power ebbs and flows. It just happens at this point in time Israel, now reestablished, can defend itself. (I don’t condone either sides actions)

      Now, I feel dirty defending Jarod.

        Do you realise how pathetic your argument sounds?

        You know America doesn’t belong to the Americans but to the indigenous people, right, same with south America, Australia, etc.

        According to your logic, let’s kick out all the colonizers and return those land to their indigenous people.

        Plus my argument was that the state of Israel has been created via organised terrorist actions not too long ago.

        We are where we are because of decades of failed policies in this region. If the Oslo accord hasn’t failed, we wouldn’t be here.
