(there are in the following post historical facts plus personal opinions.)
From what i can recall from the israelian-arabs wars, when people voted to place israelians there where they are now, even though all the confinant arabs countries were against, it still passed and Israel was born.
From there on, (always looking at the conflicts here) the 1948-1949 conflicts saw the arab league trying to conquer the country, but they were utterly smashed into pieces, and israelians conquered through a war (which they themselves HAD not started, it was the countries of the period that had approved them there. They could have asked for russian territory, but it seems they preferred sand to snow) and they conquered the territories of the ENEMY. over 800.000 jewish people had to emigrate from arab countries to israel, due to arising tensions.
then, we reach the israelian-egypt wars of 1956. when the great idiot of the period, (the egyptian president) decide to nationalize the suez canal, israel went "meh" french and england were angry as hell, (it was THEIR property after all, they had built it), but then the great idiot decided that israel, being jewish, (and him being of pan-arabism league) should not use the suez canal. he asked for it once more. french and england did not military intervene do to soviet risk of intervention, Israel, on the other hand, once more smashed to pieces the arabs. they even conquered the Sinai, only because the onu asked to give it back, was it done later.
when in 1967 egypt once more closed the suez canal to the israelian, the second casus belli (and the six day war) was declared and the entire Egyptian, Sirian, and giordanian AEREAL force was ANNIHILATED. the entire peninsula of sinai, gaza line, and Cisgiordania with Jerusalemm were conquered in SIX DAMN DAYS. you know what it means? in six days, israel doubled it's size, against three other countries, surrounded by enemies on all sides. and here comes the problem.
Israel conquered the territories and wished to use them.
the arabs states being sore losers wanted them back.
the onu mediated, proposing that, if the arab states were to recognise israel, israel might have given the territories back. but the Front for the liberation of the palestina was born, and until the death of arafat it kept going.
then on the 1973, UNASKED, and NOT-declared, and with NO casus belli, egypt and siria attacked israel, rapidly conquering the suez canal, when israel answered with tanks, egyptians had to hide in the anti-air defense position and hope the blu helmets of the onu came with a solution. in the end the onu went with a pacific diplomatic solution. but had it gone long enough, it's undoubt egyptians forces would have succumbed being trapped and entrenched.
in 1979 egypt recognises israels, and gets back the sinai.
in 1980 israel considers jerusalem capital of israel, and grabs the golan planes, already occupied.
in 1981 the egyptians presidents gets assassinated by islamic fundamentalist of the "jihad" group
in 1982 israel begins procedures to fight off the terrorist organization for free palestina.
here we have the massacres of the populations in the refugee camps, all done by a filo-israelian Elie Hobeika and by the forces of the south of liban, (cristianic forces) NOT by the israelian government or troops. they did however "close their eyes" and look away. So sharon had to resign with others generals.
onu then builds up a commission to investigate concerning israelians "mobbing" ways to send arabs away, like destroying their homes, or controlling the flow of water.
when in 1988 things started to get awry for the OLP, they began thinking about the resolution 242 to get away with the problems speech through, they hadn't contemplated it in the beginning because obviously, they thought they would win, so, who cares about peace right?
in 1987 the intifada, (and later Hamas) were born to fight the israelian occupation in the territories.
in 1995 after trying to get peace through diplomatic means, (with clinton to mediate it) and giving the gaza line back, opening an airport, freeing palestinian's political prisoners. they even FAKED THE ELECTIONS! to elect a more "arafat-loveable" president, in order to avoid attacks and violences.
did they get peace?
no, they got suicide bombers.
against civilians. israelian civilians.
and the gaza line? it's no longer israelians. it's given to the palestinian front...but it's under the security of an european police force, who takes orders from an ITALIAN General of the Arma dei Carabinieri (or the army).
history lesson is finished, from here on, it's personal comment:
israelians were "landed" there. they stayed there. the world decided democratically they could stay there.
They were attacked.
they defended themselves with no more fierceness than anyone else would have used. and they are doing no less than what every other country would do to protect IT'S OWN PEOPLE.
the arabs got what they deserved for attacking a country which democratically decided to stay there. and the arabs cannot go against it, because they voted "no" they could have said "we do not vote, because we do not believe in this system" like china, or similar who kept neutral. they voted no, because, in the event of "no" winning, they could have thrown them out. But "yes" won, and so they cannot go and say "israel does not exist".
that's what a sore loser does.
oh yes, the up above history facts, i grabbed them from wikipedia which is, obviously, not a COMPLETELY reliable source, by the CHANCE anyone comes up with a BETTER history lesson (which must however be completely un-biased, so, no arab/jewish writer) he can put it up as a counter-history. history is written by those who win after all, i just hope that when and if israel loses it's patience once more, i won't be near the battlefields. because i doubt they would leave civilians alive, you know, to avoid them forming terrorist factions.
