RE: Why support Israel?
※→ et al,
I think we jumped the tracks here. Of course there has been historical events of decimation focused on one or another people. In the time since the beginning of recorded history, there has only been about 400 year when the world was totally at peace. Hell, even the US has been fighting one conflict or another nearly 93% of its political existence.
Why we support Israel is not so much about territory, politics or religion ⇔ as it is about the preservation and restoration of a culture and a people (Jewish Emancipation). Yes, many people say that the conflict was initiated over the territory. But that is like saying WWII start in 1939; when actually the conditions for war were set in the Treaty of Versailles after World War I. And with the emergence of the Age of Enlightenment in Europe (the idea that "reason" should trump "faith"), the idea of Jewish Emancipation followed closely behind on its heels.
Things like "reason" are hard to grasp. But faith (the bibles and scriptures) and land (the territories) were tangible; and lands could lead to power, wealth and influence.

The issue is to make such a Jewish homeland, people were displaced from lands they lived on for thousands of years.
lol nonsense. The faux 'Palestinians' squatting in Gaza and the West Bank haven't been there 'thousands of years'; the vast majority of them migrated there when the Ottomans and British began economic development of the area in the last 3 decades of the 19th century. they are also not 'stateless', except by their own actions, they are Syrians and Egyptians and Iraqis for the most part. 'Palestinians' is a fiction invented by Arafat and others in the 1960's. Nobody was 'displaced' by Jews, that's nonsense. If you want to discuss Jews Behaving Badly, at least try to cite real history, instead of stupid propaganda; there is plenty in human history to discuss about people behaving badly, and Jews as a group aren't exceptional in that regard, but then you have the problem of trying to convince sane people they behaved more badly than their neighbors did, a blatantly impossible position to defend.
Source for anything your retarded self says?
In the next comment you prove you're not even a Human, but rather a retarded degenerate.
Nothing you say should be taken seriously, because you aren't Human.
