Who here Supports Israel? - Page 2

What alternatives are there? A one state solution has more than a few similarities with Separate But Equal.
Raising the living standards of the Palestinians to the point where the average person on the street won't feel indebted to radical groups like Hamas would be a nice start. Look at Iran, where it's not a case of rampant poverty and desperation like in the Occupied Territories: The average Iranian doesn't really care about politicizing religion whereas the average Palestinian is caught in a slum cycle where they feel there's no way up by socially acceptable means, so they turn to groups like Hamas.
No, I don't support Israel.

That could work if the money being used to fix living conditions was going to fixing living conditions. Under Fatah all donations to the PA went into their pockets; under Hamas into rockets.
Speaking as another well informed Israel supporter...
I support a two-state solution, provided the Palestinian State wasn't hostile to Israel. But that doesn't look to be happening anytime soon.
Wasnt you I was thinking of, but a two state solution is the only viable one. And no, for whatever reason its not going to happen soon.

Right to defense? Is Lebanon part of Israel? No. This is no defensive act, its practically a declaration of war.

Conservatives in America started being more pro-Israel because of two things:
1) Establishment of the American special relationship with Israel.
2) The rise of politicised evangelical Christianity.
America is Pro-Israel because it has plenty of Jewish Bankers.

I don't support the government of Israel. I do, however, support the right of the Israeli people(and all people really) to coexist in peace with their neighbors.
Oh, and FYI, I'd be no more or less critical of Israel if it were owned and operated by Buddhists, Christians or atheists. I really don't care what invisible man you pray to. It doesn't give you a free pass to manipulate regional conflict as a political tool.
Well said that lunatic. Its Ironic that (a) they arent nesecarrily Jewish and (b) certain of their members have advocated death by torture, forced sterilisation, force-feeding of pork products and genocidal acts.

lets re-cap ..Hezbollah an illegal armed militia ( see UN resoulution 1559 ) , without the consent of lebenon , invades israel and kills eight soldiers and kidnaps two . Israel responds by attacking Hezbollah and its infastructure to stop the movement of the captured soldiers , Hezbollah responds by bombarding Israeli cities with rockets and missiles and mortars .
Israel responds by attacking Hezbollah and the infastructure that enables the delivery of weapons and the movement of supplies to and from the battlefield...Hezbollah gets TV coverage by hiding among the civilian population and the UN observers and then sscoots leaving the UN guys and the civvies to take the return fire , the world press reports the civvie casualties as if they are true ..although they get their info from Hezbollah , resulting in screwed up casualty figures that are corrected after staged demonstrations by Syria and hezbollah supporters have already taken the propaganda value and garnered some more support .
Whats lost is the fact that Israel was attacked ..uprovoked,,by an organization SWORN to the destruction of Israel as a state and the removal of jews from the middle EAST by what ever means ..this is in their charter and in their own words .;
So I think the only sane and fair thing is to support Israel , they are not looking for more land or conquest , they are not looking to destroy Islam or wipe any nation of the map . They are looking to be left alone and in peace .
I CANNOT SAY THE SAME OF THOSE THAT ARE ATTACKING THEM .
In fact hteir motives are the AVOWED DESTRUCTION OF THE JEWISH STATE .
So I have " Leave me alone I want to be left in peace ..lets talk .."

That's rubbish. Israel started this war almost 60 years ago. This is not about Hezbollah or Israel racting to it, this is about an obscure religious group trying to make a state in a foreign land for over 100 years now. Every Arab and everyone in the entire world who has decency has a moral obligation to oppose Israel and its unsound religious and ideological foundation. Israel is the aggressor and the obstacle to peace in the region. And as you say it must be eliminated.
And BTW someone in support of Israel really should not refer to UN resolutions. That's rediculous.

Outright blatant anti semitism.
Why? You started this 'jew-crew' to support Israel and it's abhorrant actions, not to show solidarity with just jews. After all, it has been pointed out by Israels supports in many of the threads we've had here that muslims make up part of both the population and government of Israel and as such and opposition to the 'jew-crew' would make me anti-muslim as well as anti-semetic wouldn't it?
But hang on, I'm a liberal left-winger, so that means I must support terrorist and wish death on only the jews so our beloved muslims can have their land back, but that make no sense as I must also want some muslims to fail because I oppose this godawful 'jew-crew'.
Maybe you can help me out DM, I'm having trouble keeping track of all the things I'm accused of as a liberal. Please point me in the right direction so I can fully understand just where I'm going wrong.
Oh, and as this is a political group not a religious group your claims of anti-semetism are unfounded. After all, most controversial political groups have an anti-group, think anti-nazi league.

Uneducated blather....
After the First World War and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Palestine was placed under British mandate. At the time, 90% of the population was Muslim or Christian. But antisemitism in Europe, which had been on the rise since the late 19th century, led to an influx of Jews. Theodor Herzl had proposed a Jewish State at the first Jewish World Congress and eventually it was decided that this state was to take shape in Palestine (another option had been Argentina). In 1930, the British proposed a division of the territory between a Jewish and an Arab State. In May 1945, however, the Jewish Agency demanded a Jewish State in an 'undivided and undiminished' Palestine. When the British didn't comply, some Jewish started using violence. In response, the British strengthened their forces and tried to stop the Jewish influx, but this was met with little international approval and finally the British decided to leave and handed the problem over to the United Nations.
The United Nations, the successor to the League of Nations, attempted to solve the dispute between the Jews and Arabs in Palestine. On May 15, 1947 the UN appointed a committee, the UNSCOP, composed of representatives from eleven states. To make the committee more neutral, none of the Great Powers were represented. After spending three months conducting hearings and general survey of the situation in Palestine, UNSCOP officially released its report on August 31. A majority of nations (Canada, Czechoslovakia, Guatemala, Netherlands, Peru, Sweden, Uruguay) recommended the creation of independent Arab and Jewish states, with Jerusalem to be placed under international administration. A minority (India, Iran, Yugoslavia) supported the creation of a single federal state containing both Jewish and Arab constituent states. Australia abstained.
On November 29, the UN General Assembly voted 33 to 13, with 10 abstentions, in favor of the Partition Plan, while making some adjustments to the boundaries between the two states proposed by it. The division was to take effect on the date of British withdrawal. Both the United States and Soviet Union agreed on the resolution. In addition, pressure was exerted on some small countries by Zionist sympathizers in the United States.[1]

The ten countries that abstained: Argentina, Chile, Republic of China, Colombia, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Honduras, Mexico, United Kingdom, Yugoslavia.
One state was absent: Thailand.
Following the adoption of the plan, Arab countries proposed to query the International Court of Justice on the competence of the General Assembly to partition a country against the wishes of the majority of its inhabitants (it would place 36% of the Arabs inside the Jewish state. This was narrowly defeated. [2]
Meeting in Cairo in November and December of 1947, the Arab League then adopted a series of resolutions aimed at a military solution to the conflict.
[edit]
The division
The land allocated to the Arab state consisted of all of the highlands, except for Jerusalem, plus one third of the coastline. The highlands contained no large bodies of standing water and were relatively secure from malaria, allowing a substantial permanent population to exist.
The Jewish state was to receive 55% of Mandatory Palestine. In the north, this area included three fertile lowland plains -- the Sharon on the coast, the Jezreel Valley and the upper Jordan Valley. All three were extremely fertile in 1947, but were largely uninhabitable before 1900 due to silting caused by deforestation. The resulting marshes allowed mosquitos to breed, but also made potential farmland available to Jewish settlers. (Mark Twain's travel journal, Innocents Abroad contains a vivid description of malaria in Palestine in the 1870's.)
The bulk of the proposed Jewish State's territory, however, consisted of the Negev Desert. The desert was not suitable for agriculture, nor for urban development at that time. The Jewish state was also given sole access to the Red Sea and the Sea of Galilee (the largest source of fresh water in Palestine). The land allocated to the Jewish state was largely made up of areas in which there was a significant Jewish population (Map of population distribution). Palestine's land surface was approximately 26,300 km², of which about one third was cultivable. The land in Jewish possession had risen from 456 km² in 1920 to 1,393 km² in 1945 (Khalaf, 1991, pp. 26-27) and 1,850 km² by 1947 (Avneri p. 224).
Regarding the Arab ownership, the MidEast Web states "At the time of partition, slightly less than half the land in all of Palestine was owned by Arabs, slightly less than half was "crown lands" belonging to the state, and about 8% was owned by Jews or the Jewish Agency." [1] The precise amount of land owned by local Arabs and the state has been subject to considerable dispute as the Ottoman Empire did not maintain an accurate land registration system and many land claims consisted of little more than contracts between private parties that may or may not have been based on actual possession.
Much of the Jewish population, especially in rural areas, lived on land leased from Arab owners.
The Jewish population was concentrated in settlement areas in 1947. The borders were drawn to encompass them, placing most of the Jewish population in the Jewish state. (Map reflects Jewish owned land not the size and number of settlements. It does not imply that only Jews lived here or that all other land was owned or exclusively populated by Arabs.)

The UN General Assembly made a non-binding recommendation for a three-way partition of Palestine into a Jewish State, an Arab State and a small internationally administered zone including the religiously significant towns Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The two states envisioned in the plan were each composed of three major sections, linked by extraterritorial crossroads. The Jewish state would receive the Coastal Plain, stretching from Haifa to Rehovot, the Eastern Galilee (surrounding the Sea of Galilee and including the Galilee panhandle) and the Negev, including the southern outpost of Umm Rashrash (now Eilat). The Arab state would receive the Western Galilee, with the town of Acre, the Samarian highlands and the Judean highlands, and the southern coast stretching from north of Isdud (now Ashdod) and encompassing what is now the Gaza Strip, with a section of desert along the Egyptian border. The UNSCOP report placed the mostly-Arab town of Jaffa, just south of Tel Aviv, in the Jewish state, but it was moved to form an enclave part of the Arab State before the proposal went before the UN.
The plan was a compromise position based on two other plans.
The plan tried its best to accommodate as many Jews as possible into the Jewish state. In many specific cases, this meant including areas of Arab majority (but with a significant Jewish minority) in the Jewish state. Thus the Jewish State would have an overall large Arab minority. Areas that were sparsely populated (like the Negev), were also included in the Jewish state to create room for immigration in order to relieve the "Jewish Problem".
argue with the facts if you can .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_UN_Partition_Plan
In the years immediately following WWII, the British position in Palestine was made increasingly difficult. The ban on Jewish immigration by the British, despite rising persecution in Europe, led to the Biltmore declaration of 1942, in which Zionist Leader David Ben Gurion made explicit the Zionist goal of an independent state in Palestine, in order to ensure the right of free immigration. The military arm of the Zionist movement was the Hagannah, an underground army formed to defend against Arab riots. In 1938, the dissidents broke away and began forming their own underground groups, the Irgun and later the Lehi. The Irgun directed terrror against Arabs, while the Lehi at first confined itself to fighting British imperialism by terror.
During the war, the Palmach, a special Hagganah unit was formed to prepare for a possible invasion from Syria, controlled by the Vichy French. During most of the war the Haganah and Palmach cooperated with the British. For a time in fact, especially during the "season’ in 1944, the Hagganah and Palmach were actively engaged in rounding up Irgun and Lehi members. However, after the war all the Jewish military groups became active in fighting the British. The Hagganah organized numerous attempts at illegal Jewish immigration, to bring the 250,000 refugees living in European DP camps to Palestine in whatever boats they could find. The violence between Arabs and Jews also escalated. The British, who were in any event in the process of parting from an empire they could no longer afford, notified the United Nations that they would be departing Palestine no later than August 1948.
After considerable debate, the United Nations General Assembly decided on partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem to be an internationalized city. The plan enjoyed the warm support of the Soviet Union and its Eastern European satellite governments. Josef Stalin hoped that the new Jewish state would be a bulwark against British imperialism. Owing to the support of President Truman, and despite State Department advice and Department of Defense pressure, the United States likewise supported the partition plan, and ensured its passage.
Meeting in Lake Success N.Y. November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly approved the partition plan, with 33 votes in favor, 13 against, 10 abstentions and one absent (see list at end of document).
The Palestinians and Arabs felt that it was a total injustice to ignore the rights of the majority of the population of Palestine. The Arab League and Palestinian institutions rejected the partition plan, and formed volunteer armies that infiltrated into Palestine beginning in December of 1947.
The map shows the boundaries of the partition, as finally approved. The original plan proposed by the majority in September 1947 (shown on some maps on the Web as the "partition plan" and given in this detail Map) gave the Arab town of BirSaba (Beersheba) to the Jewish state. The US State Department tried to detach the entire Negev from the Jewish state. A compromise, following the intervention of Haim Weizmann with President Truman, gave Beersheba and the city of Yaffo to the Arab state.
An outline map that may be clearer than the one at right is shown here.
Resolution 181 also declared Jerusalem to be a corpus separatum - a separate body, to be run under an international UN administration. The area to be run in this way included all of Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Beit Sahour, to encompass the Christian holy sites. A map of the proposed areas is shown here. The status of Jerusalem as a corpus separatum was reiterated in UN General Assembly Resolution 303 of December 9, 1949, even though the UN supervised armistice agreements determined that Jerusalem would remain divided between Jordan and Israel.

Plus, those Hezbollah guys ought to die!
That's rubbish. Israel started this war almost 60 years ago. This is not about Hezbollah or Israel racting to it, this is about an obscure religious group trying to make a state in a foreign land for over 100 years now. Every Arab and everyone in the entire world who has decency has a moral obligation to oppose Israel and its unsound religious and ideological foundation. Israel is the aggressor and the obstacle to peace in the region. And as you say it must be eliminated.
And BTW someone in support of Israel really should not refer to UN resolutions. That's rediculous.

That is indeed not anti-Semitic, you are in your right to support Israel. And it cannot be anti-Semitic to respect Judaism.
However to equate Israeli policies, with Judaism is indeed a mistake. This crew implicitly states that those who support the policies of Israel are Jews, and those that are Jew support the policies of Israel.
This ofcourse is not the case
For example:
When I say that the Jews bomb Hizbu-llah Lebanon, my statement is an anti-semitic statement.
It would no be so if I had said that Israel or the IAF bombed Hizbu-llah in Lebanon.
Can you understand the dividing line and why we must use careful wording in this conflict? Or must I use more explicit examples, to show how equating Israeli policy with Jews is anti-semitic?

No, but someone presumably has a case of the condescension bug. Care to try belittling me on actual grounds, NS - or are you content to simply parrot Eutrusca's stock-in-trade - the "baby-talk-as-personal-slag" pose?
Not a Jew, but I'm a definite Zionist and supporter of Israel's right to exist and their right to defend themselves from terrorist attacks.
Sign me up.
Captain pooby, you forgot to add me to the list of the Jew Crew *cries in corner*

I do support Israel, but I'm not Jewish...
And I hardly hang out in NSG so I really don't think I should even bother.

Agreed.
Off topic question: I do remember something about the Russians having some elaborate war plans against Israel. Russia, not USSR. If Russia did initiate these plans (please don't reply saying they wouldn't, that's not the question) what do you think would happen? Just wondering...

I know of a Few, Eutrusca, Deep Kimchi, a few others. Anyone want to form an NSG "Jew Crew"? It's open to anyone, even Goyim (Non-jews). The only requirement is that you be a supporter of Israel. Stick a little message in your signature, "Member # such-and-such of the NSG Jew Crew".
