Tom CravenIsrael: A Threatened Species

In this country we get far too much anti-zionism, we get this ignorant belief that the Israeli's are the bad guys who are attacking the innocent Palestinians. Recently there has been discussion about Israel's refusal to sign a short period truce with Hamas, let us remember that Hamas is a hardline Islamist Terrorist group, whose name appears on all most every Terrorist list in the world. Why would an nation negotiate with terrorists like Hamas, it would be like the USA signing a treaty with Al Qaeda, what a ridiculous sentiment.
Although we all sympathize with the Palestinians let us not forget that in 1948 we had a 2 state solution, one was Jewish the other Islamic, the Islamic state being the forerunner of Palestine and the Jewish state being Israel. The Islamic nation along with other Islamic nations declared war and publicly stated that 'Israel would be wiped off the face of the Earth', these nations invaded Israel but lost despite greatly outnumbering Israel. Again in 1967 Palestine and its allies attacked Israel on a Jewish national holiday, the equivalent of Ramadan, once again Israel defeated the Muslim nations.
We had a two state solution in 1948, the Palestinians and their allies destroyed that agreement by constantly attempting to invade Israel who was promoting peace after the Jewish people's ordeal in WW2. It is a serious situation in the Middle East but let us not forget that Israel had never been the aggressor only the defender, all negatives of the situation arise from the Islamic attempts to destroy Israel.

There was never a just solution worked out with the Palestinians, but a foreign imposed order, which removed many of them from their homes and farming lands, for which they have not been compensated, and this sort of action continues today, eg Gasa etc.
To say otherwise is to skew the history of the area into a disingenuous propaganda exercise.
I am a great believer in the continued existence of Israel, but I also see the necessity for a just solution for the long oppressed Palestinian people, the majority of whom just want to get on with their lives and work, and rear their children in an enviroment that is safe and happy.
