the conflict in kosovo is similar to the conflict in israel except for one major difference, the israelis invaded the palestinians and massacerd them and took their land illegally, while the albanians in kosovo came in leagally then created a terrorist organization to attack and kill the serb minority. in this case the albanians are the evil ones because they are trying to massacre all the serbs and connect cosovo to albania. in the middle east case, the israelis just came in massacred all the palestinians and took their legal and rightfully owned land. if they wanted their own homeland they shudda took some land from the russians i mean they have enough  , but noooo just because of jerusalem you all had to go bomb and shoot the hell outta them then take over all their land. now they are resorting to violence because you have left them no choice.
israel and palestine were suposed to be equal in country size and the city of jerusalem in the border dividing the two countries, but the jews wanting more instead to overrun them and take as much as they could. no wonder theres palestinian rebels now using violence because youve made them use violence. and what makes it worse your building huge walls to "stop suicide bombers" in reality ur making things worse by pissing them off sooner or later they are gonna say "screw this lets nuke em"

a few of these backpack nukes and there goes the holiest city in the world. no one wants that not even the arabs but like i said earlier if they are forced to use violence then they will use violence if u can force em to blow themselves up then u can force em to nuke u.
this war also fuels the anti semitism againt jewish population. now all arabs and most people hate jews. even white people hate jews and most of them have never even known a jewish person. now a majority of the world population will think "greedy jews because they stole palestinians land" it was your land and their land you just wanted more. its dissapointing because there would probably be no semitism if the land of palestine was divided equally. |
To be honest, I shouldn't even have to dignify this post with a response, however, because I'd rather the ignorance didn't continue, and because I'd like to correct your facts, I respond with this:
You are indeed correct that the 1947 UN Partition Plan created those borders for the State of Israel. Where your "facts" and reality differ however, is the part about the Israeli "invasion." That never happened. The UN Partition Plan was approved by Jewish leaders, but the Arab/"Palestinian" leaders outright rejected the plan. As you can clearly see in your map, Tel Aviv was in the Jewish state's proposed borders. That is where the State of Israel was proclaimed on May 14, 1948, and came into existence at midnight on the 15th. Additionally, Israel's War for Independence was not fought because the Israelis started the conflict, but because the Arab nations surrounding Israel bombed Israel and proceeded to invade. While not always the most accurate source, in this case, Wikipedia serves fine to back me up on this:

Immediately following the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel, Egyptian, Syrian, Iraqi, Jordanian, and Lebanese forces invaded the newly formed state on all fronts. In a desperate and costly war, Israel's newly formed and largely makeshift army eventually repelled the attacking armies, and then advanced its forces to occupy some of the territory set aside under the Partition Plan for the Arabs and for the City of Jerusalem. A cease fire agreement was signed between the two sides, with the current front line becoming the boundary between Israel and the Arab territories. As a result of the 1948 war, Israel controlled all the territory allotted to them under the Partition Plan, much of the territory allotted to the Arabs under the Plan, and half of what was to be the UN-administered City of Jerusalem. The remaining Arab territories were the West Bank and the Gaza Strip; the West Bank was administered by Jordan, while the Gaza Strip was administered by Egypt.

Additionally, you might find it interesting to note that there has never, in the history of the world, been an independent nation of Palestine. The first united nation-state in that region was that of the United Kingdom of Israel under King David. Later they would split into two kingdoms, Israel in the north and Judea in the south. The Kingdom of Israel was conquered in 722 BCE by the Assyrians. Judea survived until the Babylonians conquered the region in 586 BCE. The land then fell into the hands of the Persians, and later the Greeks (under Alexander the Great). Following the overthrow of the Greek king Antiochus IV (the villain of the Hanukkah story), a brief period of independence occurred, eventually ended by the Romans as they conquered ever more territory. Not content to be enslaved, the Jews fought back and revolted. After several failed attempts at rebellion, the Romans eventually crushed all rebellion and renamed the province Palestine, after the Philistines. Since the Roman era, the land has passed to the Byzantine Empire and later the Ottoman Empire, which was dissolved in the wake of World War I. At that time, "Palestine" became part of the British mandate in the region along with Transjordan (the modern day state of Jordan). The British divided the mandate into Palestine and Transjordan and recognized Transjordan as an independent state in 1923. The British gave up the rights to their mandate as of 11:59 PM on May 14, 1948, after which time the State of Israel was immediately declared.
In other words: THE ARABS INVADED A UN SANCTIONED NATION FIRST! Since that time, Israel has taken the actions that it has believed were required to ensure its survival. Not all of these actions have been right, and occasionally, they have gone too far. However, Israel, like any sovereign nation, is entitled to safety within its borders, and is unable to receive it without taking drastic actions. This can be shown in the fact that the stated goal of Hamas is to completely eradicate the Jewish state and push the Jews into the Mediterranean Sea.
Also note that the reason that the Palestinians are still around is because every Arab nation has denied them admittance.
As for your last paragraph, well, I believe that nothing that is written there is of value, although you have managed to quite clearly demonstrate your own antisemitism. Moreover, antisemitism has existed since the beginning of Judaism, so your statement that there would be none without Israel (or with a 1947-based Israel) is flawed.
