Jews and arabs lived happily in the Palestine. But when a civil war broke out after the Israeli state was declared, many Palestinians fled to places such as Lebanon or Syria...Taking their house keys and documents that they owned their houses along with them. However, little did they know that they would never return or they would return and find that their street names have been changed, their houses have been knocked down etc. The ones who stayed had a worse time with the racial hatred towards arabs and especially towards the muslim palestinians. Jewish gangs were known around Palestine...known for massacaring 250 arabs, half of them women and children, in one month.
You may be thinking this was ages ago....but look at the village of Qana in south Lebanon...over a hundred civilians were massacred by the jews in the late 90s...Even this summer, Israeli fighter planes would circle around Lebanon trying to intimidate the tourists and the people. In fact, Israel is the reason why tourism has done down in Lebanon...every summer its the same thing....the odd small bombing here....a few fire shots there....to them, they dont care because America is right there behind them.
This is just a tiny fragment to what the 'humble' israeli people have done...but most of it goes unnoticed... :mad:
Anyways i've rambled on a bit.....but to check out the truth behind how Israel was actually formed, check out the book 'pity the nation' by Robert Fisk, its gotta be one of the best books ive read and its really highlighted loads of problems i never knew even existed.
