Israel is a tiny country of which half is desert. Israel is the state for the Jews. We must have a safe and secure Israel and not lose one inch. It is a democracy and has many non-Jewish citizens.

Should Israel be forced to cut itself in half AGAIN?

Both modern day Israel and Jordan were part of the British Mandate of Palestine and they were both originally set aside by international authorities to become a Jewish State. At the San Remo Conference in 1920 the League of Nations decided to cut up this land and gave the land east of the Jordan River (modern-day Jordan) to the Arab population living under the Mandate, more than 75% of the Jewish National Homeland!
Now, there is international pressure for Israel to cut up even more of its land and give away the historically and religiously important regions of Judea and Samaria, which make up 22% of the current map of Israel. Should the Jewish Nation agree to this, Israel will encompass the ret dot on the map of the Middle East below. There are 22 Arab Muslim countries. There is just one Jewish country and people keep cutting it in half! Is this just?

Those who disagree and are planning on having long discussions I respect your opinions but I apologize for my lack of willingness to get into any debates. Got tired of them honestly, not that I dont care but I started to realize once someone truly believes in something it is difficult to change their minds specially in such matters. People will never agree to one opinion, thats the thing with opinions, it's diversity..
Is it morally right? Probably not, no. But it's the reality of war. If the Palestinians hadn't been such dicks, maybe they wouldn't have gotten the shaft.
No. They have to pay for supporting and conducting genocide.
We won our war against the Native Americans. A series of them, actually. You don't have to agree that the reasons for waging those wars are moral. I certainly don't.
But we don't live in a world governed by morals. We live in a world governed by power. Do you think you'd be wringing your hands about the treatment of the Jews 60 years ago if your side had won? I doubt it. You would have been raised to believe that the Jews had been a dire threat to the world and had to be eliminated... and they wouldn't be around to dispute the lies.
Thankfully, however, the Allies won the war. Thankfully we were able to hold the Nazis, Japanese and their allies accountable for their attempted genocide. Today's Palestinians are paying the price for the abysmal choices their grandfathers and fathers made and they're not helping themselves by supporting terrorism, which every powerful nation on Earth openly deplores.
Its part of the past, countries are over hating Jews at least my people are arabs generally, its 2012.
Supporting terrorism? Are you aware of the campaignes held in the entire Middle East against terrorism because it is something the general public an the governement DO NOT agree to. A form of terrorism is to kill unjustly torture basically make people live in terror.. As I see it Palestians are scared and are frightnered MUCH more than Israelis, ONE bomb killed 3000 innocent souls in 9/11 that was one bomb, they have been through much more, this one bomb that America experienced have shock the entire nation, see how people were scared and frightened thats terrorism, whats the difference between that and 9/11? Consider that this bomb was the result of the UNJUST attack on Iraq (of course I dont agree to the terrorist attack or the war on Iraq), most people saw that Iraq was a huge mistake, so do the American people deserve to go through much pain due to the Presidents mistake?
It very well may be true that the general Arab doesn't support terrorism... but that certainly hasn't stopped it from flourishing in Arab countries, has it? Maybe they should do a better job of squashing it if they don't want to be painted with that brush, eh?
Sure Palestinians are scared. They are basically powerless. Whenever you're powerless, you're scared and you resort to extremes. Hence why they've supported anti-Israeli terrorism for decades. But see, that's a double edged sword. As soon as you resort to those tactics, your moral high ground goes bye bye. You can't really claim a moral high ground for Palestinians any more because they support terrorism.
"Consider that this bomb was the result of the UNJUST attack on Iraq"
No it wasn't. Planning for that attack began long before the war in Iraq.
I happen to take part in terrorism awareness campaignes being young I do small things like give out hand outs. So yes I assure you, about 97% are compeletly against terrorism in the Arab world. Terrorist planning attacks are mostly to be carried out in Pakistan rather than the Middle East. Where has it flourished exactly?
You must also know that there are both private and governmental institute to stop any form of terrorist "thinking".
How did they "support" terrorism EXACTLY? Educate me, I dont mind.
I kow it was, but thats why I said CONSIDER. Would it make it right?
Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Yemen are well-known for their state support of terrorists. Whenever you have people supporting Hezbollah, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, you have people supporting terrorism. I challenge, directly, your assertion that 97% of Middle Eastern Arabs are against terrorism because of that.
Egypt is in the continent of Africa, Syria Iran and Yemen arent ARAB. Arab countries include Saudi. Which I do not support much due to their inequality. Countries that are not Arab are not in very good terms with my region.. Palestine isnt arab, and its identity have been wiped offf. Hezbullah is group that have made it "ok" to have people like myself killed, and yet they have not dared to kill one of my kind. Again these groups are not Arabs, those arabs are terrorists group in Saudi. The rest do not represent us.
And saudi happens to be one country out of 4 others.
Just as the Bible does. So if you're a Christian and don't support terror, you reject god and his "holy" gospel.
Yes you are right I have set my mind in this specific matter. I have changed and gone back and forth on where I stand but now I am sure.
