Subject: RE: BS: Another war in the Middle East?
In answer to your question Robomatic.....
The state of Israel was founded on the wholesale ethnic cleansing of the indiginous Palestinians.
This was not an empty land as so often claimed by Zionists. This was a land lived in for hundreds and thousands of years by its Palestinian population .They lived in towns and cities ,farms and villages.
They have been made into refugees,exiles or now live under the Israeli gun and baton in the occupied territories or in besieged Gaza.
Here is the crux of the problem.The Palestinians have been robbed of their lands and homes but will not surrender to a half life in the bantustans planned for them by the Israelis. But the Israelis also have problems.They now live in one of the most militarised and yet dangerous countries in the world.And the Palestinian population in Israel itself and in the occupied territories, is growing-fast.What next? The expulsion of Israeli arabs/Palestinians out of Israel and into exile...a recipe for more conflict.
And meanwhile nuclear armed Israel is led by a corrupt and venal clique of failed right wing politicians who have nothing to offer but more invasions and more bombs.Yet the Israeli army took a bloody nose in the hills of Lebanon last year.
A change is gonna come!
