I’m so sorry we won. Next time you attack we will try and be fair and let you slaughter us.
Do you even hear yourselves?
Whos ignoring history? You by the looks of things, Israels neighbours have only started one war against it, two if you count the 1948 war, which wouldnt have happened if the Zionists hadnt decided that Arabs couldnt live with them in their new country. 1956 war was started by Israel France and Britain, 67 war was started by Israel, allegedly in her defence but Golda Meir herself is on the record as saying Nassers two divisions in the Sinai posed no threat to Israel, 73 war was started by the Arabs, and the invasion of Lebanon was started by Israel. As for you winning them all, the 56 war was a failure, the 73 war cost Israel far more than the gained and the invasion of the Leb was an abject failure, not only did you fail to neutralise the palestinian organisations operating from there, but you managed to create the Hez'bollah, probably the most dangerous paramilitary group in the world.

You may say who are we to give them jobs in their own land? But you guys just don’t seem to be able to accept the fact that it is NOT their land anymore. They lost it.
Bull****, you dont have any rights to the land, whether they lost it or not. Or are we forgetting what happened when Iraq "won" Kuwait? YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO PALESTINIAN LAND.

World would be better off without any of them IMO. Its sad to see two cultures fight over land and territory in this day and age, but here they are, continuing a battle that is so old no one can remember how it really started anymore, and no one cares to know.
Its well documented how the conflict started, at the turn of the century European jews founded zionism, which preached that jews must return to palestine to fulfill prophecies as well as escape anti-semitism from european christians. Immigration grew over the first part of the century until ww2 when the world shocked at the scale of the nazis slaughter of the jews agreed to partition the british mandate of palestine. The jewish state was allocated about 20% of the land but still were in a minority in this area, zionist leaders agreed that transfering the arab population was the only way to solve this and through various acts of terror drove approximatly 1 million palestinians from their land.
Surrounding arab nations sent troops to help defend the palestinians but ultimatly were defeated leaving Israel in control of 70% of the mandate of palestine. All arab occupants had been forcibly expelled like at Lyda or Ramla where 60,000 people were removed by force, or fled in terror because of acts like Deir Yassin. That in a nutshell is how it started, prior to the twentieth century there was no conflict between muslims and jews in the area, although jews had to pay a special tax under muslim law but this was to the Ottoman turks, not the palestinians.
