    It is not that hard to imagine, although I am not in favor of Israel being disbanded, done away with, destroyed, whatever. The country is really a manufactured one that is 61 years old. You can understand why the Palestinians are pissed.

    Actually, the history goes back over 3200 years.

    Obviously the Jewish people as a demographic nation goes back that far. I am speaking about the political nation of Israel that is geographically located where it is.
    That political nation was carved out of existing territory by the UN after WWII.

    CIA factbook -

    Following World War II, the British withdrew from their mandate of Palestine, and the UN partitioned the area into Arab and Jewish states, an arrangement rejected by the Arabs. Subsequently, the Israelis defeated the Arabs in a series of wars without ending the deep tensions between the two sides. The territories occupied by Israel since the 1967 war are not included in the Israel country profile, unless otherwise noted. On 25 April 1982, Israel withdrew from the Sinai pursuant to the 1979 Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty. Israel and Palestinian officials signed on 13 September 1993 a Declaration of Principles (also known as the "Oslo Accords") guiding an interim period of Palestinian self-rule. Outstanding territorial and other disputes with Jordan were resolved in the 26 October 1994 Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace. In addition, on 25 May 2000, Israel withdrew unilaterally from southern Lebanon, which it had occupied since 1982. In keeping with the framework established at the Madrid Conference in October 1991, bilateral negotiations were conducted between Israel and Palestinian representatives and Syria to achieve a permanent settlement. In April 2003, US President BUSH, working in conjunction with the EU, UN, and Russia - the "Quartet" - took the lead in laying out a roadmap to a final settlement of the conflict by 2005, based on reciprocal steps by the two parties leading to two states, Israel and a democratic Palestine. However, progress toward a permanent status agreement was undermined by Palestinian-Israeli violence between September 2000 and February 2005. An agreement reached at Sharm al-Sheikh in February 2005 significantly reduced the violence. The election in January 2005 of Mahmud ABBAS as the new Palestinian leader following the November 2004 death of Yasir ARAFAT, the formation of a Likud-Labor-United Torah Judaism coalition government in January 2005, and the successful Israeli disengagement from the Gaza Strip (August-September 2005), presented an opportunity for a renewed peace effort. However, internal Israeli political events between October and December 2005 have destabilized the political situation and forced early elections, scheduled for March 2006.

    How was Israel created?
    Before the First World War Palestine was a district ruled by the Turkish Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans were defeated by Britain and her allies in the war.

    After WW1 Britain took control of Palestine, but there were many troubles between the Arabs who lived there and Jews who wanted to live there too.

    After the Second World War, Britain decided to let the United Nations decide what to do with Palestine.

    The United Nations suggested separating Palestine into two countries, one Arab and one Jewish.

    The Arab leaders said no to the plan, but the Jewish leaders accepted it and declared the state of Israel. The President of the United States gave his support to the new state.

    So you hang out at DailyKos to feed your hate?

    Should I find a "Republican" website which publishes articles like killing queers, wet backs, and abortion doctor or maybe paving the Middle East or ...?

    No, but your trolling/shilling GARM posts and then your rapid entry into D&D combined with your high post count for a rookie indicates that you feel a bit familiar around here.

    Regardless, I'm going to experience a world without JeopardE from now on...enjoy the 2nd+ time around.

    and Pat Robertson, who God talks to regularly, is a wacko Republican.

    What is your point?

    BTW you know way more about DailyKos than I.
