How can you say that???Israel started it all.
Stopped reading here.Question: Which country in the Middle East has just recently used a weapon of mass destruction, a one-ton smart bomb, dropping it in the center of a highly populated area killing civilians including children?
Answer: Israel
Brace up!!!How can you say that???
Brace up!!!
This is a brief history:
The problem started in the late 19th century when the Zionist movement started with a group of secular European Jews to establish a homeland for the Jews in Palestine. Before that Jews lived in peace with Muslims and Christians in Palestine for about 1300 years (except when the European Crusaders killed all the Jews and Muslims in Jerusalem 900 years ago). Most of the Jews who lived in Palestine till then were Arabs.
When Britain occupied Palestine during WWI....they gave a declaration (Balfour Declaration 1917) to the Jews that they will give them a homeland in Palestine. But the problem was that the land was already populated by indigenous Arabs (Mostly Muslim, but with significant Christian 6% and Jewish minorities 10%).
Britain opened the door to Jewish immigration from Europe which had escalated during WWII. In 1948 the Jews made up 33% of the population of Palestine but owned only 5% of the land. The UN voted to split Palestine 55% for the Jews and 45% for the Palestinians to establish a Jewish and Arab States in Palestine and to make Jerusalem an internationally controlled area. War broke out between the Arabs and Jews in 1948 and the Jews occupied nearly 80% of Palestine and established Israel on it. In the process Israel ethnically cleansed 80% of the Palestinians from the land they occupied and destroyed and depopulated more than 400 Palestinian villages, massacred thousands of Palestinians and made 3/4 million Palestinians refugees.
The UN voted in 1948 to tell Israel to allow the Palestinian refugees to return to their homes, but until today Israel had not complied. In 1967 Israel militarily occupied the remainder of Palestine (The West Bank and the Gaza Strip). The Security Council again voted in 1967 and 1973 that Israel return to the 1967 borders and allow the refugees to return, but Israel never complied.
The Palestinians now negotiate to get only the lands occupied in 1967 back to establish their own state on it and for Israel to allow the deposed people in 1948 and 1967 to return to their original homes.
Israel is only accepting to return only parts of the lands occupied in 1967. The land they accept to return has no borders with the outside world (making it an effective jail guarded by the Israelis). They also refuse to allow the refugees to return. They also have built many illegal settlements in the West Bank and planted nearly 350000 Israeli extremists in them. Israel has taken control of nearly 5/6 of the water resources in the West Bank, and has built an apartheid wall that dwarfs the Berlin wall around and through Palestinian cities and villages in the West Bank ( http://chromovision.com/films/Wall.wmv ). They also refuse to return East Jerusalem, which is part of the West Bank, to the Palestinians.
Again this is a very brief background. It in no way describes the daily suffering, abuse, humiliation, terror and deprivation of basic human rights the Israelis inflict on the Palestinians.

"If those who deny Israel’s right to exist were morally and logically consistent, they would also deny Pakistan’s right to exist. If it was acceptable to drive over 7 million Hindus and Sikhs from their ancient homelands to achieve Muslim self-determination, then why was it a crime to displace a much smaller number of people to achieve Jewish — and Palestinian —self-determination? ......
Yeah In Middle East but not in countries like Paksitan, Bangladesh which are crying nowStop lying. Syria has been top media coverage forever now. In Arab media it is still the number one discussed issue.
First of all it Wikipedia
Second see what @GURU DUTT said
India will never do it think whatever you want about this Israel-Palestinian situation. I'll support Israel and India will support Israel.Oh pls!
An alliance against Islamic extremism must not become an excuse for far-right parties or its followers to fan anti-Muslim sentiment.
I have no idea why would somebody compare India/Kashmir/ Paksitan to Israel- Palestine???
This just a way to sway the Indians towards Israel by hurting where it hurts most.
And "some" here do it very well.
I hope Indian govt. takes a stance against Isreal.Because not so long back India was the only non-arab country which was vocal about atrocities of Isreali army.....thats till 1992 happened.
so not only did they steal land but they also stole the dishes as well? lolQuestion: Which country has falafels as their national dish?
Answer: Isreal
im glad not all indians here are backing up israel, gives me much respect for you guys..In killing what it terms 'militants', Israel is carrying out extra-judicial assassinations, which are illegal under international law.
In killing the people of Gaza and destroying their homes, hospitals, mosques and infrastructure, Israel is carrying out collective punishment, which is also illegal under international law.
Israel is recognised by the UN as an occupying power in Gaza, an occupation which is illegal under international law. The siege of Gaza, ongoing for seven years, is collective punishment and also illegal.
Collective punishment, when an entire civilian population is brutalised, is a breach of the 4th Geneva Conventions. Grave breaches of the Conventions are considered to be war crimes under Article 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
so who started it?How can you say that???
Geeky you're brain washed by some hindu extremists.India will never do it think whatever you want about this Israel-Palestinian situation. I'll support Israel and India will support Israel.
