Then the Romans arrived, burnt their temples and expelled them. What followed was 5,000+ years of persecution and murder wherever the Jewish people went. Following the Holocaust, the Jewish people demanded a state where they could be at home, and protected from any further persecution. The U.N. decided to grant them some land in what is now Israel which seems fair enough considering that's the original place they got kicked out of, and you know what happened soon thereafter? Arab nations declared war, Israel won the war and rightfully got the land they won. You know what happened after that? Another war was declared by the Arabs on the Jews and again, they won the war. What happened next, you ask? Wouldn't you believe it... another war! Every time Arab nations declared war on Israel, they won, and so it goes in terms of war, they got the land.

True Fact: Every single war be it the 6 Day War, the War of Independence and the War of Yom Kippur were all started by the Arabs. Israel has never initiated war on any single nation.

Why do they have the right to have nuclear weapons? Well, let's think-- if your a tiny Israel state surrounded by a bunch of Arab countries who want nothing but your eradication, don't you think you need some self defense?
It would seem fair to me considering the Israeli state doesn't have suicide bombers, Jihads, their purpose isn't the eradication of an entire people. This is not to suggest that every Arab wants this, but for the leader of a country to call for the extermination of a people... this is the kind of people you want involved in the U.N.?

Please, please, let me know of a single instance in which Israel has either initiated war, blew up a school bus or heralded for the extermination of an entire peoples, and I will admit that Israel is at any form of fault.
The arabs started the wars in 48 and 73, Israel the ones in 67 and 83, Britain and France the one in 56. No good guys here, certainly no one worth the life of a single American soldier.
