Where did I mention "God gave us this land ". You make like to spare a thought for my mothers family though, they had everything taken from them during WW2, home, land, family and wealth, but that is not your concern.
Please don't call me action man, you know nothing about me or what I do. I do however get about and see things most only get to hear about by sitting on their couch and watching tv.
First hand experience in my mind speaks volumes, second hand info is genrally not worth squat. You are never too old to take up arms if you believe in what you are fighting for !

Hear, hear.
Where were these plonkers when Israel was constantly being bombarded on a daily basis from all sides?
I'll tell you, hiding; and just waiting to bleat like the sheep/lemmings they are when Israels patience runs out.

And that gives you the right to take someone else's land then and then treat them like prisoners?!

What would you have done ?
Let's look at history to give you some idea of what Jews expected from the rest of the world. Uprooted from their homes, land, sent to camps for no other reason than to be exterminated. If you were different you were afforded the luxury of been experimented on, if you were a female and attractive (14-30) you were there to service camp guards on a daily basis.Others were just shot, gassed, beaten, starved or worked to death.
At the end of the war some tried to return home but there were no homes to return to. Neighbours and friends did not want to know, if you went east it was straight into gulags or other camps. Cyprus and Greece offered no safe haven, Jews were still classed as second class humans and were a problem.
There was some wasteland available in another part of the world and the Jews would be quiet happy there, the locals were poor and were little threat to the stability of the world so an ideal place to get rid of a problem.
What a shame the world did not forsee what a problem the Middle East and the Israelis would become. So in short your problem was solved but you have opened a huge can of worms and now you whine. Tough luck mate the world in this instance has caused it's own problems by not understanding the fighting spirit of a people who it considered were a weak and broken people.
As for the Palestinians, again another people shunned by the world, treated with contempt and given the cold shoulder for hundreds of years. Now held in higher regard and afforded protection, why ? is it fashionable or are people of the world starting to have a concience ? All a bit late in my eyes and two faced.
In fact (this should raise some eyebrows) Jews and Arabs have more in common than they would wish to admit, the shame is we have yet to realise this, maybe one day the world order will change and Jews and Arabs will have the boot on the other foot.

I didnt do any of that and i wasnt born then. Dont blame the whole world for what a select few decided to do (UN, brits and Zionists).

The fact remains that Palestine was carved up and the state of Israel was created from nothing. Now the Palestinians are the minority and are treated like the Nazi's treated the Jew's. Its simply not right, but the world chooses to turn a blind eye.

Enough's enough especially after the latest bout of murders in Gaza.

You need to see the bigger picture my friend. Just because you did not do anything does not mean history has to take a back seat. May I suggest if you wish to voice not only your opinion but help the Palestinian people you should go to Gaza, there are many volunteers already helping out there and they obviously need more help.
As for the select few, please I have heard this a thousand times, blame a select few the one's who had the balls to sign a piece of paper, there were many more behind the scenes who thought a problem would be solved and voiced no decent.
Again, the people of Palestine have been ignored for hundreds of years but fashions change, all very sad and leaves a very bad taste.

I see everyone who was defending them saying they were defending themselves have gone missing now...typical.

If you wish to have Cyprus problem be solved in Greeks favor is time to consider the case to send National Guard to give a hand to Israelis.

No Cyproblem should be solved to favour 'Greeks'. It should be in favour of Cypriots. Greek, Turkish, Armenian, Maronite et al.

Do you have family in the area, I do, smartarse. If you don't like it, take up arms you couch potato coward !!!

Actionman, stop trying to defend the indefensible. You will be trying to justify the theft of Greek Cypriot land next - and please spare us the "God gave us this land crap"

I'm probably too old to take up arms. As for cowards, well I think the article in the first post tells us who they are.

And of course all Turkish land in the south is as the evicted Turks left it; in your dreams.

The Jewish Israelis accepted what was granted them and got on with their lives - with amazing results. The Pals to this day sulk and whine, pitch primitive but destructive rockets at their neighbors, depend on handouts from the world to sustain them and apparently have no plans to improve their lot. After 60 years, you'd think they would accept the fact that Israel is here to stay. They don't - to their detriment.

For as long as they have their God "guiding them " they will continue their "struggle" to obliterate the state of Israel , Plonkers , Saravallos comes to mind , will continue spewing anti Israel diarrhoea .
