    Is an historical fact that the exteme Zionist Stern Gang were pro-Axis
    See this link.

    That is not to deny that the Jewish people suffered during WWII and most right thinking people would condemn the suicide bombers.

    What gets lost in this arguement is the history of the Palestinians. Well more specifically the lack there of. There is no mention of people called Palestinians anywhere in history until recentish times.

    So the Sinners link themselves link themselves to the Palestinians and then the Loyalists link themselves to the Jews. Excellent. Fair play to them. Except have they not gotten it the wrong way around. The Jews people have an acient historic claim to (some) of that land, proven in various doucments. Just like the Irish people have to the north of Ireland. It was once the most Irish part of Ireland. To call the Jews settlers is a bit inaccurate.

    All that history doesnt excuse the complete disregard of any form of law by Israel and then Americian servants. Sharon can only be described as a Nazi.

    Who was the progressive Israeli Prime Minister who was shot in c.1994?

    When he died so did any hope for that part of the world.

    I wasn't making accusations, it was simply a polite request to everyone posting in the thread.

    . In an an ideal world where uncle sam don't control a country like Isreal would be refered to as being on the axis of evil and not a nation like cuba. The new wall that's 25 feet high through east Jeruselem stopping the palastians from going about their daily live's stopping them from getting to work place's, hospital's, school's ect is just the latest in it's long line in Isreal trying to destroy the palastian people. If anybody seen a documentry about Rafa a town close to the border with Eygpt where the local population have to tunnel from house to house rather then walk outside their house's where the Isreali army have their fun by shooting at them. Isreal should be up in front of the un for war crime's but i'm sure uncle sam will make sure that don't happen
    Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.

    Haven't the Palesintinians or Arabs been in Palestine for as long as the Gaelic people have been in Scotland and the Anglo-Saxons have been in England. I'd say they've got just as much a claim as on Palesine as the Jews.

    S O'C: you're right that they didn't have a recognised 'ethnic' identity under the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century, but Palestinians = Philistines (from the Bible etc.).
    They're red, they're black
    The hatchetmen are back.
