Because Jews were flooding in as refugees from the war. They hoped to get away from that but found resistance in Palestine. So, after territorial agreements that are still not solid to this day, Israel was created. The only problem was, a war war started but it's showing some improvement over the last couple years with new diplomacy and such.

Are you oblivious to the world? Are you? Yasser Arafat is not a homicidal maniac and is actually helping the peace process. They're hoping to get a peace treaty signed in September.

Whoa man.I think we got a little off page here.All I am saying is Israel has a right to stick up for itself considering the fact that they are surrounded by homicidal maniacs that are intent on not only destroying Israel,but the rest  of  us  INFIDELS TOO!!!!

And yet to think that my point is being proven by your argument.  Okay, Israel was created after World War II, it was in fact created in Palestine, which was owned by the British Empire at the time.  However, the idea was led along by Zionism, the movement to create a Jewish state in the holy land.  I think this probably was a bad move, but it was a popular idea at the time.  Not all Muslims are extremists, most aren't , in fact there are way more Christian extremists.  Nuclear weaponry is a bad idea PERIOD.  There is nothing that nuclear weaponry acomplishes except millions of innocent lives lost.  Despite how the American media portrays Arafat and other middle eastern leaders, they are not psychotic madmen who'll blow up the world at moments notice.  The fact that we have war based on religion is ridiculous.  Religion is so insignificant in terms of who lives and who dies.  To say that someone has to die beacause they have a different belief system, or a slightly different approach to the same faith is so unnerringly stupid, that anyone who thinks in that manner of fascism is the true product of man's hate towards his fellow man.  If you were to ask why someone should die for thinking differently, you'd get a cop-out answer.  If you kept asking why, you'd never get an answer, because there is no real reason, just hatred.  It's fine to be attuned to your own spirituality, but to make a conscious effort to conform to the standards of something is a betrayal of oneself.  I don't care what religion you practice, or if you don't practice one at all, just as long as it doesn't interfere with other people's lives.

Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

I can't believe you Mykill. That is the most blatant racist thing I have ever seen or heard. Don't get me wrong, I'm incredibly patriotic, but I know that all Middle Eastern people are not homicidal or suicidal maniacs.

"The Muslims,meaning every Arab nation have vowwed,meaning to kill  Israel"

Me, being part Turkish, can tell you for a fact, that statement is racist spurred. It is absolutely wrong.

You really think that nations would do that? Do you? That's the stupidest thing they could ever do, destroying a neighbor nation over Religious reasons. Let me tell you something: no government is run by religion, no decision made based on religious bias.

-Jennifer Mui, Mercenaries

Organised religion, from its very inception, has been used as an excuse and a means of starting and ending wars. Land and money are usually actually the root of the problems.

The emergance of a global economy is aiding in the number and severity of conflicts generated by the lust of money especially. Oil and politics, these days, go hand in hand.

However, regardless of your personal stance on these things, two things are always obvious to me. Firstly: You CANNOT say you are proud to be American (or even Australian) and then go and protest the war while your own brethren are in harm's way. Secondly: No matter how loudly you shout about it, the fact that it's about money/land will never chance. Politicians will ALWAYS say it's for this and that and in these people's best interest. It isn't. America only ever got involved in a war when it suited them, and it will always be that way.

These people are only going to achieve peace if we butt out and let them sort out their problems. Having said that, most of them don't want to. I for one have always recognised that it may well be America's warlike attitude that has kept Australia free, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I support what they do. I don't like that we get dragged into conflicts of someone else's making, but I WILL NOT say that those men's lives are void just because I do not agree with their cause.

Like it or not, they are your guys fighting for, they say, freedom. In the end, it comes down to being human. If you protest the war once they are there, you protest those people's lives.

Oh.You are all so naive.I am not racist in any way what so ever.If you knew me and my family,we have every race in MY FAMILY. WE also have every arguement  that COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN between families. I have every religion within MY OWN FAMILY. We have extensive arguement on the subject of idealism and relegion. And it has been found that religion rules. You really are so naive that you don'[t even think that the KURDS AND IRAQIS don't fight over religion.YES they fight over territory,but the Jews and ARABS they don't really fight over RELIGION ONLY TERRITORY come on man. get real

Hunter, a woman president really wouldn't be that bad. (as long as it wasn't Clinton) Women are just as emotional as men. Men tend to show their feelings through anger where as women tend to show their feelings in other ways. I've noticed that women tend to be more logical than men, but that is because they think about things a lot. I'm certain that a woman president wouldn't just go about launching nuclear weapons just because she has had a bad day. Honestly, I think you need to think about what you have to say before you post because clearly you have a hard time coming up with a thoughtful statement that contributes to coversation.

Moving on. Mykill, I'm just wondering but do you even know why there is so much hate toward Israel from other middle eastern countries? Israel was created, yes that is right created, after the second world war. The British had control over Palastine after the first world war, then after WWII they decided to split it into two countries, one arab and one jewish. The Arab leaders didn't agree with the plan, but the Jewish leaders accepted the plan. Thus, the millitary conflicts between the two countries.

THE ARABS have vowwed  to destroy them.I know I am repeting myself.But

It isn't really that the Arabs have vowed to destroy Israel more just take it back because they believe that it is rightfully theirs. I find that understandable because it was just taken from them without their say in the matter.

if I was Israel I would nuke em' all sorry man I'm not Jewish.It's just survival

Nuclear warfare isn't tha answer to everything. Yes, I do know that there have been peace talks that have not worked well at all. Either way I'm certain that there is another way that can resolve this problem. Plus, if Irael was to just nuke the other Arab countries they would lose the support of NATO. Then they would be frighting a war by themselves. They may have nuclear weapons but thoste can only go so far.

I guess I'm done.

Well , it seems  as though,after I  have  made  some  very  harsh  commentaries,that all kinds of  people  have had something to say on this subject.Merrick  very  GOOD  comentary.Garret I apologize  for  many  of my  generalizations.And well  sandwich  sam  I  personally  don't  know about  a  female  Commander in chief.Those are all  very  good  subjects  within  themselves.But,not  knowing  Your  personal  religion I  do know  from  MINE .That Israel was given  to  the  Iraelites  who happen to  be the Jews.So  we as  christian  people  gave  it  back to  them and  well  there  is  more to  be said  than that.All I know is. they are  there  NOW,and  the Muslim nations  ,who  yes  might  want  that  land BACK. Are  gonna have to  deal  with the situation ,because Israel  is  there NOW and  they ain't gonna put up with  no  stuff.WOULD YOU?And  not only    all  of    what I    just  said    but  wasn't  this  subject on    terrorism  and  what  about N.  Korea

Actually  I  think  you  are right  in several  different areas.Not  to spread  MY  Christianic  veiws  but  it does say  in  the book    of  REVELATIONS  that  the "kings    of    the        east"meaning  Russsia  ,China  and  whoever  follows  them          will  create  war  upon  the  children of  GOD,meanining    the  land  of Israel  and  their supporters.It's a  HOLY WAR    I  SAY    AND NOBODY WILL      LISTEN

First of all, not to be ripping on religion or anything, but nowadays there's more scientific fact and common sense to rule out most religious text. Because, as we can plainly see, Russia has no interest in war any more. They learned that from the Cold War.

Though China, on the other hand, has the possibilty to become the next world leader. Whether that means by domination or politics, the future knows.

But I have to disagree with you, Mykill. If the east did resort to war, the "children of God" would not be their first target. If anything, they would pick a major country (like US, Britain, or Russia) to attack, or open up fronts in all three of those, since those three are the military leaders. Heck, I'd say they'd attack Iraq or Iran before Isreal/Palestine/"Western Middle East", solely for the purpose of gaining the oil for their army.

So... there's my opinion. As I said earlier, religion has had no place in politics and it will probably never will.
