If I'm reading you correctly, what is now referred to as 'Israel' is really Palestine?
So Israel 'ceasts to exist.'José said:You bet.
Western Palestine, now known as Israel.
The western half of palestinians historical homeland, recognised as such by all those who believe that fighting historical facts is a hopeless battle.
The entire region of Palestine is the homeland of palestinian arabs. This is an undisputable historical fact
Hobbit said:Actually, the Canaanites were there first. The Hebrews came in and conquoted the Canaanites, then the Philistines (from which the word Palestine is derived) came in and started fighting the Hebrews. Israel had the upper hand more often than not, and they both eventually lost to the Babylonians, then the Syrians and Seleucids, then the Romans.
Then there's a few more interesting facts. Nobody wanted 'Palestine' until the Jews moved in and started growing grapes the size of watermelons. Nobody wanted the land and nobody would allow those who also didn't want the land to move away after it was already there. On most western maps, it was shown as part of Jordan, but they didn't want it, either. It wasn't until after the Jews were given back the promised land that it became to most coveted piece of real estate since gold was found in the New World.
Then, if we're going to go for this 'homeland' theory, the Jews should actually own Iraq, since Abraham was from Ur, the original Iraqi city. The Celts should own all of France and Great Britain. Only those of American Indian descent should own anything in the Western Hemisphere. If we go back far enough, I'm sure we can find where you should be kicked out of your house and moved back to your 'homeland.' In fact, if you actually believe all this stuff and you're American, go the hell back home and leave my homeland alone, white man. If your little theory goes down, I can lay claim to any spot along about 1/3 of the east coast and most of Western Europe.

José said:Yes, Kathianne, Israel ceases to exist... so what???
...
Because then they'd have a place to flee to when people want to annihilate them, like Hitler or Stalin, that's whyYes, Kathianne, Israel ceases to exist... so what???
Up until recently, Israel was one of the only two democracies in the Middle East.Israel is a state, a human construct and as such it can be dismantled, modified, democratised at will if historical circunstances prove it to be a dysfunctional construct...
Yes, by anti-semites, which proves my point above. Many of the people you mention would like to make the Jewish race obsolete, too, if you understand my meaning..Israel is not even 60 years old and it is already widely regarded as a completely outdated form of social organization by most of the world.
So, if someone at High School is unpopular, we should kill them? By your thinking, America should also cease to exist.People in America live inside a bubble, a coccoon, unaware of the fact that Israels popularity has been nose diving throughout the world.
The Soviet Union ceased to exist because Communism does not work. After the fall of the Czar, the Soviet Union's standard of living fell, which is quite an accomplishment considering that the country was already inhabited by poor serfs who barely made a living.The Soviet Union is just one example among hundreds of other states that came to an end when even its rulers became convinced of its dysfunctionality as a human construct.
So, we should stop being pathetic and let Israel die. That's the best argument for genocide that I've seen in my life!Not only you, but most americans think about Israel in the same fatalistic, deterministic way that physicists and astronomers think about natural phenomena.
How pathetic is this?

Jose, I wonder, if you ever think it might be Palestine that will cease to exist if they want to continue thinking like you do?? Just wondering?

Hobbit said:You know, Israel treats Arabs better than any nation in the entire Middle East. They'd treat them even better than they do now, too, if the Arabs would stop blowing up schoolbusses full of children and executing double suicide bombings designed to take out paramedics. It's not like the terrorists are a minority among Palestinians, either, as was shown in the recent elections. No matter what you think of Israel, the Palestinians have brought this on themselves, and if they want anything from Israel, they're going to have to show that they can behave first.
