I disagree that the problem started when Israel wanted to become a Jewish state.
If Israel never tried to become a state, Jewish or otherwise, we'd still see Muslim factions killing each other over who was going to rule the next Caliphate.
Using Zionism is just a distraction for now. If Israel were to move out of the Middle East, the new fight would begin for the next Caliphate and Middle Eastern peace would never be known....still.

Since the holocaust is often cited as to why Jews "need" a homeland, I suggest Israel be relocated to Germany. If they got messed up by the Germans, then make the Germans pay for it....and leave the Arabs out of this.

The armed aggression was enacted towards us. I suppose that in your opinion we should have just stood there and take it, while the Arabs are waging genocide and killing us all.
Well, we thought otherwise and we kept defending our tiny villages until enough was enough and we took the offense instead of defense.
Call it whatever you wish, that is the truth and there's nothing you can do about it.
it is palestinian land, not Jewish. Just because your Holy Book says so, doesn't make it true.
Actually, their holy book says so as well. Doesn't make it true, but you know what does?
...
The UN recognition of Israel.

etc.?
Why relocate Israel from THEIR OWN COUNTRY?
Only because life-haters suicidal MUSLIMS want EVERYTHING?
THEY HAVE THEIR FCKING COUNTRIES !!!

Except Palestine, that was taken by the British and given to
Jews.
I still think the relocation is a sound and peaceful option, the alternative is almost certainly destruction at some point in the future.

Stop and think about that. It's not logical, not feasible, and no Israeli would support that. What NEEDS to happen is that Israel needs to be reigned in. Sign the NPT, open your sites for inspection, draw up FIRM borders, and STOP instigating your neighbors.
Israel has many enemies in the region, and continually poking at them does little to help the situation.
Gaza needs to be dealt with, up and until that is dealt with, I simply can't support any help provided to Israel outside of them actually being at war or attacked.
I fully support the right of those who live in Israel to stay there, as I fully support the rights of the people in Gaza to a peaceful FREE life.
As long as Israel continues it's ethnic cleansing of the region, and their instigation towards Islam, they will continue to generate wave after wave of would be terrorists willing to fight, and die, against Israel.
Then again, maybe that is the name of the game, because it's easy to say you don't support Israel while they aren't being bombed, but once you send in a few suicide bombers, then it becomes gaza who?
Palestine did exist. Palestinians do exist. Israel did exist, Israeli exists today, and will continue to exist as long as someone reigns them in. i just refuse to support them at the expense of others.
and I whole heatedly refuse to take part in the game of "either support Israel or you support terrorism" CRAP.
==========
Something I strive to understand in relation to this, hopefully someone here can explain it.
It's ok for Israel to be created by uprooting those who lived there, because possibly, thousands of years ago, Hebrews might have lived there.
But it's not ok to uproot Israelis and let Palestinians, who lived there merely 50 years ago, live and be free?
Lets just remember a few things. Israel declares itself a Jewish state, and as such, actually enacts racist policies. Israel declares it's right to attack anyone, including it's allies, regardless of international law. Israel declares it's willingness to launch nuclear warheads into major european cities. Israel paints Jewish religious symbols on it's weapons and tanks.
But the Arabs with sticks, home made rockets, and AK47s are the threat?
But see, I refuse to believe terrorism is created in a vacuum, because it is not. Israel and the US are becoming pros at waging the war or terror, but without dealing with the causes. So they kill some people, there's two more ready and waiting to take their place.
One of the fundamental causes of anti-israel sentiment, outside of honest antisemitism (which does exist) comes down to their treatment of the people in Gaza, it's a fact, and no amount of bible thumping or holocaust waving will change the fact that Israel has brought *SOME* of this upon herself.
This doesn't make it ok, but you can't fight it while ignoring what's causing it. You can't slap a bandaid on a gunshot wound without removing the metal that will cause the systemic infection.
So before Israeliguy has a chance to remind me I'm an antisemite, I support both sides, I support Israel and the arab nations. I denounce the terrorism and tactics being used from BOTH sides.
