Just sayin they are the common denominator.

They were given a country, not earned or bargained or bought.

Let's be clear about something. The British received a League of Nations mandate to administer the formerly held Ottoman territories that became known as Palestine and Transjordan until they were capable of governing themselves. Transjordan which was 3 1/2 times the size of Palestine was set aside entirely for the Arabs in 1921. Palestine was intended for Palestinian Arabs and for a Jewish national home due to their historical ties to the land. Transjordan became a country in 1946 when it was granted its independence. The British Mandate then runs its course and the U.N. partition plan for Palestine comes into effect with the Jews agreeing to the plan and the Arabs being against. Israel declares its independence and becomes a country by its own making. Then war breaks out. Israel fights its own wars and battles and wins. Sorry to say it, but whether you agree with the course of events or not, to say that Israel was just handed its own country is sort of dumb.

No, you said it was given a country. Big difference.

I stand by my comment.

It had nothing and now it has Israel. By decree.

"On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel. U.S. President Harry S. Truman recognized the new nation on the same day......

Throughout 1947, the United Nations Special Commission on Palestine examined the Palestinian question and recommended the partition of Palestine into a Jewish and an Arab state. On November 29, 1947 the United Nations adopted Resolution 181 (also known as the Partition Resolution) that would divide Great Britain’s former Palestinian mandate into Jewish and Arab states in May 1948 when the British mandate was scheduled to end. Under the resolution, the area of religious significance surrounding Jerusalem would remain a corpus separatum under international control administered by the United Nations."

Sounded to me like the AI was more worried about you than me   LOL even the AI knows you're a fragile little baby   But it's hilarious that you didn't recognize that and post it it's response here ROFLMAO!!!

 

You're right,  the AI was responding to you! Thanks for pointing that out, and I'm glad you enjoyed the exchange. I'll have to keep a closer eye on my conversations to make sure I'm not getting you too defensive. LOL

How arrogant are you to think you deserve to go through life with no one ever saying anything that you don’t agree with or like....oh wait, rhetorical question, we all know LOL

Ok, you win. Everything was just handed to the Israelis. No blood spilt. No sacrifice. A piece of cake really. All partitions should go as smooth as this one.

There are no winners. Look what has been going on in the past 75 years.

Really?  Shooting bullets into a school is 'vandalizing' it? Pretty much the same as spray painting the side?

It depends who did it. 

The lighter their skin, the hate-crimier it is. If it was a black guy then it was a mostly peaceful shooting.

True, and if the shooter also happens to be a light skinned male hetero smoker who owns guns and a bible then we hit max crimeyness and somewhere in the world a leftist explodes.

The silent majority of non-students and non-lunatics is easily with the Jewish community. 

Sure, that explains why Ireland, Norway and Spain just joined the list of countries who formally recognize Palestine.

You're on the wrong losing side of history here.

If you want to talk about history, most countries were antisemitic throughout history.

The Irish republic has a sad history of claiming to be "neutral".  They were neutral while Hitler and the Nazis invaded Europe.  The allies defended the west and their citizens joined the armed forces and sacrificed their lives in the defence of freedom.  What did Ireland do?  Nothing. 

" Francoist Spain remained officially neutral during World War II but maintained close political and economic ties to Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy throughout the period of the Holocaust."

"The regime failed to protect the vast majority of Spanish Sephardic Jews living in German-occupied Europe."

Spain and the Holocaust - Wikipedia

What antisemitic countries and antisemitic people say is worthless.

The leaders of those countries accepted Palestine. I would suggest the normal people in those countries not so much.

Just because countries, organizations (NATO UN EU etc), or individual citizens agree on something doesn't make it right... or good, or advantageous for the people either here or elsewhere.

Most will assert that there's a severe doctor shortage in Canada, I found out this morning that there isn't, we have more per capita than at any time previously.

Most people (over 70%) of Canadians thought mandates were a good idea and cheered when their neighbours got fired. I can't think of anything those folks got right BTW. With 1500 health care workers still off work in BC during a shortage people are literally dying because of it. You were expecting a different result perhaps?

Voters thought vilifying police and defunding the departments was a good idea, crime is through the roof.

They thought safe supply sounded like a peachy idea too, how many did they kill with that?

OUP Libya helped dethrone Ghadaffi, everyone  thought the Libyan people would be better off, they weren't.

The WMD thing in Iraq seemed like a good idea to most people too. Coalition of the willing eh?

Canada doesn't need heavy lift helicopters... until we do

Canada doesn't need tanks until we do....

Canada doesn't need shore bombardment, we'll use TASMO, followed immediately by Canada doesn't need fighters.... 

Remember "I will write zero helicopters...Chretien." Everyone cheered.

And my personal fave, we managed to replace the Taliban with the f------ Taliban and equip them in the process. 

The Israel / Palestinian thing is now worse than it was when I went there for the first time in 1977, and if Hamas remains a functioning entity that trend will continue. And if you think murderous terrorists will suddenly embrace Jews because a collection of woke countries all shout "WE SEE YOU" in unison, I have a few relatives I'd like you to talk to.

I could go on at some length but I'll spare you, from what I've seen of the world, as a function of foreign policy, particularly in Arab/Muslim lands, going along with the majority hasn't worked out so excellently. 

Western people seem to think everyone else in the world shares their love of democracy, or freedom, or their belief in human rights, equality of the sexes... and on and on.

They don't.

Given the protests against mass immigration in Ireland right now, I would agree.

Those same countries all recognized nazi germany in the day.  But you'd have been on the wrong side of history if you SUPPORTED the nazis. 

Just as you're on the wrong side of history here supporting the terrorists.
