Although a case could probably made for a wall between the US and Mexico. In some ways I suspect it is possible that people in Israel are treated
as our government treats Americans.....Like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed manure.
Respects,
The Jews wanted a country of their own, Israel was a British mandate, so the UK agreed to help us. We came to Israel and we legally bought land from
the UK.
The arabs didn't like it, and there are many reasons for that. So as a result, the arabs decided to murder some Jews (this happened in 1929). As a
result - the british government investigated, and decided that it happened because the Jews bought too much land, and took the jobs from the Arabs
(although the land in 1947 looked like that:
en.wikipedia.org...) So the issued a
document with tons of restrictions on the Jews, those restrictions should have solved the problem, and the jews respected them copletely. But for some
reason - probably brain washing made by Arab leaders in order to gain power - the Arabs decided they should mourder some more Jews.
So this is how it went, murdering of jews led to more and more restrictions on them. This is a fact by the way, you can check it if you want.
It's true that after many attacks on Jews - the Jewish community decided they need to defend themselves because the British army didn't help that
much. A few organizations where formed, some of them were terrorists and the destroyed mostly military targets, but other organizations worked
together with the British mandate.
Weird, this all doesn't sounds like occupation and stripping people out of dignity. If anyone was stripped out of dignity it was only the Jews, who
where murdered AND restricted.
In 1947 the UN issued a partition plan:
en.wikipedia.org...:UN_Partition_Plan_For_Palestine_1947.png
The Arabs in the area got all teh good land - they got all the lands surrounding jerusalem and some more lands, and the Jews got mostly low quality
lands in the south (it's called NEGEV). The Jews agreed to this and were ready to accept the UN plan, We had a real chance to make our state, and the
palestinians could make their state too - and on much better land than we got.
But the Arabs in the area decided we don't have a right to live there and that we don't have a right to exist at all - so they decided to destroy us
completely.
This led to the 1948 war, and against all chances - we won this war.
In 1948 the Israel was established, this happened in sort of a democratic way because countries voted for it.
Today we build a wall because we think it will save many of our lifes, and as we thought - the number terror attacks was dropped by 75 percent (!).
The countries of the world say that they know we have a right to defend ourselves, but it should be done by the International law. Well, it turns out
that the international law says that as long as Palestine is not an independant state - we cannot do ANYTHING. So of course all of the Israeli actions
are illegal, the only legal thing we can do is just let them blow us up.
The Palestinians say that their children are late to school because of the wall.
well, some of OUR children don't even get to school because of terrorists who pass in areas where the wall wasn't built yet. Since when life quality
is more important than life itself?
And the Palestinian children are tought to hate Israel and kill Jews anyway. This is also a fact, and you can see this from reports made by
international organizations.
We destroy houses because they are being used for smuggling weapons which are being used to kill Jews. Is that a wrong thing to do?
We kill terrorists because they are responsible for killing Jews. Wouldn't you want that the terrorists who are beheading people whould be killed as
well?
The US went to war and killed hundreds of people only in few weeks just because of 1 terror attack. We are having terror attacks each month, and even
the most basic things we can do in order to defend ourselves is wrong for you.
I'm sure that if any other country in the world was attacked by terrorists in a similar way to us, then that country would have completely eliminated
the attacker. And this is already happening in countries such as Russia, but the fact that Russia does everything they want to the Chechnian people
(including cutting body parts from living people) is ok for you, but everything that Israel does is wrong for some reason.
BTW, did you know that arabs walk freely in our streets? They shop, they interacts with Jews, and we respect them.
The last time 2 Israeli soldiers accedently drove to Ramallah this is what happened to them:
