"There was no Isreal until 1948."
Really? That's debatable, but what ISN'T debatable is that there has NEVER been a nation called Palestine and there STILL isn't. There may NEVER be one unless they get their act togteher and join the 21st century.

"The State of Israel was proclaimed on 14 May 1948, the culmination of nearly 2,000 years of hopes by Jewish people that they would one day return to the land from which the Romans expelled them. The Holocaust of European Jewry in the Second World War strengthened their determination.
The Balfour Declaration by the British government in 1917, enshrined in a League of Nations mandate in 1920, had said that a "national home for the Jewish people" would be founded in Palestine, while preserving the "civil and religious" rights of non-Jewish communities there. The British could not reconcile the conflicting principles.
On 29 November 1947, the United Nations General Assembly voted (resolution 181) to partition Palestine between a Jewish and an Arab state, with Jerusalem under an international regime. The Jews agreed but the Arabs did not. They called the declaration of the State of Israel "al-Nakba", the catastrophe.
Inter-communal fighting had preceded the declaration and after it, five Arab armies invaded. By the time of an armistice in 1949, the Israelis had extended their territory, leaving Jordan with the West Bank, Egypt with Gaza and Jerusalem divided. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had fled or had been driven out."

"Thus, Jews unfortunately are murdering Muslim strictly for their beliefs, particularly the undefensable, the old and the very young."
And they are going to end up paying for it.
Arabs and Jews may be lousy fighters, but they are also dirty fighters. Thumb in the eye, kinda folk.
Don't expect the Palestinians to keep taking a beating forever.
Just like Hizbollah destroyed 50 Merkava tanks and bogged down Isreali land forces... it is not hard to imagine something similar.

Uhm, the Mossad are incredibly invasive - the majority of airline hijacking during the 80's was just to perfect their obfuscation techniques, imo.
I wouldn't label one race better than any other - we are 99.98% the exact same animal.
Redlight,
Your link does not give proof, only ask questions.
Israel is believed to be using controversial white phosphorus shells to screen its assault on the heavily populated Gaza Strip yesterday.
They are believed to be using them and once again we have a BBC source that says one thing in the headline and another in the text. Does anyone read anything the BBC writes beyond headlines?

The images of white phosphorus explosions over Gaza are considered unconvincing and not evidence? Maybe you are right - anti-Zionist peoples inside of the BBC may have photoshopped them, it's not unheard of. However, the confessions of the Israeli military and government officials certainly should be considered heavily as evidence to confirm their use. Also, the independant human rights groups, doctors and witnesses should be analyzed as quite possibly telling the truth too, unless you suspect there is a well-coordinated anti-Zionist agenda being spread by them as well. If so, I would like to see your reasoning, links or any data you could provide to back up that claim. But, as I stated before, I'm open to that possibility.

What sources can you recommend? Where do you get your data from?
