[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, that's a pretty judgmental and odd response.  A little work on reading comprehension would be advisable.  The "aggressor" is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose.  One could argue that an entity that launches missiles into a country is an aggressor.  Or one could argue--as ardent anti-Israel people would--that Israel's very existence makes it the aggressor.  The U.S., even with the best and most cautious military in the world, caused countless civilian deaths in Iraq, Vietnam, and many other places.  But the U.S. is too big to pick on, so bullies pick on Israel as a proxy. [b] I believe fervently in a two-state solution and a peaceful coexistence.

Which means giving 90% of the Good Fertile Land to Israel and 10% to Palestinian? No, Palestine will never stand for this! Regardless of what you think the UN recognizes or did, the UN created this mess. It is the weakest organization in the world. How many times did they try to cite Israel for war crimes and what happened? In reality, while the UN General Assembly recommended the creation of a Jewish state in part of Palestine, that recommendation was non-binding and never implemented by the Security Council.Second, the General Assembly passed that recommendation only after Israel proponents threatened and bribed numerous countries in order to gain a required two-thirds of votes. Third, the US administration supported the recommendation out of domestic electoral considerations, and took this position over the strenuous objections of the State Department, the CIA, and the Pentagon. The passage of the General Assembly recommendation sparked increased violence in the region. Over the following months the armed wing of the pro-Israel movement, which had long been preparing for war, perpetrated a series of massacres and expulsions throughout Palestine, implementing a plan to clear the way for a majority-Jewish state. It was this armed aggression, and the ethnic cleansing of at least three-quarters of a million indigenous Palestinians, that created the Jewish state on land that had been 95 percent non-Jewish prior to Zionist immigration and that even after years of immigration remained 70 percent non-Jewish. And despite the shallow patina of legality its partisans extracted from the General Assembly, Israel was born over the opposition of American experts and of governments around the world, who opposed it on both pragmatic and moral grounds.
