It's just when I hear people say that Jews don't belong there at all but should go back to the European countries they came from I want to smack my forehead.
I'm not suggesting European Jews should not have been allowed to move to Palestine if they wanted to. What I'm saying, is that they shouldn't have had to be put in a situation where they felt they HAD to go somewhere else to find security. Their rights should have been protected in the homelands of their births. Its sad that those European nations dropped the ball on that issue. Personally, I suspect that they quite liked the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine because they hoped the whole lot would pack up and move there to be someone elses problem. I think what happened to Jews in Europe is an important key in all of this. Had there been justice in Europe there would have never been the need for such a thing as Zionism in the first place.
Likewise when someone tries to claim it's solely about Palestinian rights and Israeli Zionism I want to smack their head because you cannot take the situation out of the setting which is the entire middle east. Maybe if they lived on an island like Ireland that could be true but when you have Arab countries smuggling in weapons and artillery (did you see the load they intercepted last month?) then there is definitely outside forces at play and they cannot be ignored.
When people are not given propper recourse to solve their grievences they will ultimately resort to extreem measure and be vulnerable to those seeking to exploit their frustrations for their own agendas.
Unfortunate but true.
