Yeah, still have a hard time finding any sympathy here, you start a war with Israel, you lose and get your asses handed to you and lose land...

waaaah! Maybe you shouldn't have tried to destroy Israel to begin with.

  - Yeah, in that last big dustup with Lebanon, Israel did a lot of indiscriminate bombing, including several towns and villages predominately Christian. - Trish Oct 15, 10:52
- you can say that about pretty much any nation throughout history. -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 10:24 22

        How the hell is it false? From its very inception Israel has been the target of its neighbors. - Stephen Oct 15, 10:34 17
        
        That tends to happen when you create a new country and set it down where people are already living - znufrii Oct 15, 10:42 4
        
        blame the UN (or was it the League of Nations at that time?) -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 10:43 3

        blaming the UN doesn't really solve the problem that all those people are STILL being forced out of a place to live -- nm - Guy Oct 15, 10:45
        
        It was the UN, but you'd think they would've learned the dangers of ethnocentric nationalism after WW2. -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 10:44
        
        That's a little like saying "From the moment of its inception in 1776, the United States was targeted by Indian tribes" - Roger More Oct 15, 10:37 5
        
        The point being that the land that is now disputed was captured after Israel's great neighbors decided to once again try and destroy it. - Stephen Oct 15, 10:41 3
        
        It's countries that fight wars, and people get caught in the middle. - Roger More Oct 15, 10:54

        dude, we gave it back...eventually...no harm, no foul, right? -- nm - Israel Oct 15, 10:46
        
        and before that the native American tribes fought with each other constantly, they weren't peaceful by any means before then -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 10:39

        In '56? Israel invaded Egypt, after Egypt blocked the Straits of Tiran. - Stephen Oct 15, 10:39
        
        France and England using Israel as a dupe from what I have read -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 10:38 3
