Subject: RE: BS: Another war in the Middle East?
On the subject of "stolen" land Guest ifor:

Gaza - captured, occupied and kept by the Egyptian Army in 1948, it was originally part of the "Jewish Homeland" during the Mandate.

Golan - Certain parts were captured, occupied and kept by the Syrian Army in 1948.

The West Bank - captured, occupied and kept by the Jordanian Army in 1948.

Ifor anyone can go to Israel, anyone can settle in Israel, provided that they recognise and acknowledge the right of the State of Israel to exist and to live peacefully and abide by the laws of the land.

Foolestroupe, CNN ran a documentary piece about a couple of days ago on the subject of rocket attacks on Israel from inside Gaza. The "Guides" were members of Hamas who showed CNN's reporter the whole process of rocket manufacture. The most dangerous part of the process was the production of the rocket propellant, fumes given off during this process apparently are highly toxic and had recently killed one of their number, this facility was based in a school - that is what I was meant when I stated that Hamas and other like-minded organisations embed themselves amongst the most vulnerable in society - but there again I believe that you did actually know that. Now were I a parent of any child at that school, I would tell Hamas to move their production facilities elsewhere - For this, myself and my family would probably be killed by those who are supposed to be "protecting" me and "fighting for my rights" - Right Foolestroupe.
