Subject: RE: BS: Obama on Zionism, Jews
Considering the fact that Israel had been waging war on them for quite some time in the form of bombing raids on their villages, I would say that their language and attitude was quite understandable.

We know, from members of the Israeli government as well as the UN observer in the video I posted, that Israel did everything in its power to provoke a response from its neighbors so that it could use it as a pretext for bombing the crap out of them, and it did so, many times, and it did so for the purpose of drawing them into a wider conflict so that they could create a justification for taking land. But it was always taking land that was the objective. Israel was never in any danger, and its neighbors really did not want war.
