Is U.S.A and allies enabling Israel to continue stealing land and other resources from Palestinians and get..?

away with murder? it sure looks that way to me; how about to you?

they are illegally stripping Palestinian West Bank quarries of raw construction material for the benefit of the Israeli construction industry and the building of illegal Israeli settlements.

this is illegal transfer of land in the most literal of senses.

http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=46682

At least 60,000 out of the estimated 225,000 Palestinians in East Jerusalem are at risk of having their homes obliterated because they have been deemed illegal by Israeli officialdom.

even though a raft of UN resolutions have insisted there is no legal validity to building settlements in East Jerusalem.To date one-third of East Jerusalem has been expropriated by Israel and almost 200,000 settlers housed.

http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=46697

The Israelis repeatedly attacked U.N. compounds even after giving several personal assurances to the secretary-general that they would not single out the United Nations for any military strikes. These attacks resulted in deaths and injuries.Israel knows that it can get away with murder since has the protection of the United States, Britain and France.

Update:

first two answers are pretty funny! it is either a joke or some people are really brainwashed and/or in denial. they need to take off their selective hearing aids and blinders and get back to reality!!

Update 2:

it is hard to believe so much ignorance!!

Update 3:

even if we agree that God gave that land to jews: those people were originally from Yemen. many Jews converted to Islam. there are many Jewish Arabs. these so called rightful owners aren't the same people occupying Israel and plus they discriminate against those original and colored jews! isn't that a fact?!

Update 4:

assuming you are correct!!! don't you find it strange that people from Jordan and Egyptians don't want their own land!!! that is unbelievable! lets ask them! i bet %100 of them would want their land back!!! as far as their government goes, they are illegitimate specially not wanting their own people's land back!!

Update 5:

Paper back writer: don't forget those Islamist were trained by USA and as a result of Zionism. Zionism(cause) is the cause for Islamic extremism's(effect). that is a fact.

Update 6:

Me Too: exactly! these Muslim extremists group in a way give the Zionists the excuse to justify their actions. al Qaeda , Taliban, Hamas, etc. and Zionists simply co-exist. they need each other to exist!

Update 7:

Me too:however i disagree that it is a religious war. it appears and they want it look as if it is a religious war though but it is all about resource and power. that is a fact.

Update 8:

finally found the link regarding where Jews originally come from!:

    You really ought to learn a bit of history, and then you might not look so foolish. Holocaust denial is a crime in various countries, I don't think that hatred and ignorance like yours has been made illegal yet.

    If you were naive enough to believe what you hear on the news and media, you would think there is an entity called a "Palestinian people," who lived in a "country/state/area" called Palestine since Canaanite/Biblical/Muslim times. You would almost believe that the Israelis occupied "Palestine" in 1967. And you might even think that the Palestinians want the occupiers out of their land. And of course, you might feel, they are entitled to do whatever it takes to get their land back. No? No. Not at all, Here are the facts.

    Who are the Palestinians? Palestinians are Arabs. They have no historical, national or cultural identity distinct from other Arabs of the region. Most of them came into Palestine in search of economic opportunities after World War I when the British and the Jews began to build up a land that was moribund.

    What is Palestine? When the Romans conquered Judea, they renamed it Palestine. Since then, no occupying power ever made it an independent state or established a capital in Jerusalem. Under the Ottoman Empire, it was part of the province of Syria.

    After World War I, the area was mandated to Britain to establish a Jewish national home. Instead, in 1922, Britain split off 75% of Palestine to establish the Emirate of Transjordan, as a throne for the Arabian Hashemite family.

    The UN decided to split the remaining 25% of Palestine between Jews and Arabs. In 1948, five Arab armies attacked the newborn State of Israel. Transjordan annexed the area intended for an Arab state, and renamed itself the Kingdom of Jordan, calling the annexed area the West Bank. Egypt took over Gaza. No Arab suggested making the West Bank and/or Gaza into yet another Arab state until 1967, when Israel was again attacked by the Arabs and took these areas.

    Well, technically the Texas War of Independence had nothing to do with the United States. The US did not officially participate in the war, did not send soldiers, did not supply the Texans with arms or money. At the conclusion of the war, Texas was an independent nation for 9 years (1836 - 1845) before joining the United States (only to secede 15 years later). A conspiracy theorist might say that the US sent all those white settlers into Mexico for the sole purpose of launching an armed revolution against the Mexican government, but this scenario is not really supported by the historical facts...

    It sure seems as though the Israeli are overstepping their bounds and using the incidents of missile strikes and various attacks to unlaunch an avalanche of retaliation, killing women and children, civilians who are powerless to halt the desecration, then moving beyond their boundaries.

    Through the years, we have commended Israel for its prosperity and growth, even though we have funded most of it. It seems that there has been very little pity for the Palestine citizens who were uprooted from their homes and have not received the huge funding we have given Israel.

    Our leaders continually talk of a "two-state" solution to the problem, but until the issue of territory is settled, there will be no peace. If any other country were taking over territory, there would be a different reaction. The Palestinians with their suicide bombings and missile launches are simply ruining any chance of public sympathy and, while they are pecking away at the Israeli, the Israelis are retaliating by taking their land and limiting their access to jobs, etc.

    This entire situation is nothing more than a religious war, with the United States cheering the successes of Israel, simply because they want them to occupy all land that was theirs in Biblical times. The Palestinians are paying a cruel price for the Biblical predictions that are at the heart of this matter and that make our Christian nation support aggressive and brutal actions..

  • How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.
  • While Israel is indeed located in the Middle East, you may know that its Arab neighbors do not like having a Jewish state in their region.

    It has thus been impossible for Israel to be accepted by their neighbors in a local league, and so they applied to and were accepted by the European counterpart.

    For the Islamists, as for the Nazis, the destruction of the Jews -- and since 1948, the Jewish state -- is central to their worldview.

    Great evils often begin with the murder of Jews, and therefore non-Jews who dismiss Jew-hatred (aka anti-Semitism, aka anti-Zionism), will learn too late that Jew-haters and Israel-haters only begin with Jews -- but never end with them. When Israeli Jews were almost the only targets of Muslim terrorists, the world dismissed it as a Jewish or Israeli problem. Then it became an American and European and Filipino and Thai and Indonesian and Hindu problem.

    Perhaps some day, when the Arabs accept Israel and another country, they will be able to play ball in the same league.

    I didn't read your entire question, sorry!

    Here's my hypothesis. The US, through a process called political engineering, is actually being controlled by just one company: a weapons manufacturer! Israel buys weapons from that manufacturer, to the tune of billions of dollars. If you had control of a country, and your "only" interest was making money (as it appears to be over there) then the actions of that "massive" customer may go unnoticed to enable such a level of trade to continue. There's more to this party than pop and cakes, I fear.

    The nonsense written here is getting ridiculous. Fortunately, most of us have a bit of gray matter between our ears. Israel has not stolen an inch of land.

    When the State of Israel was reborn in 1948, the "Palestinians" did not exist yet; the Arabs had still not discovered that "ancient" people. They were too busy with the purpose of annihilating the new Sovereign State and did not intend to create any Palestinian entity, but only to distribute the land among the already existing Arab states. They were defeated. They attempted again to destroy Israel in 1967, and were humiliated in only six days, in which they lost the lands that they had usurped in 1948. In those 19 years of Arab occupation of Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip, neither Jordan nor Egypt suggested to create a "Palestinian" state, since the still non-existing Palestinians would have never claimed their alleged right to have their own state... Paradoxically, during the British Mandate, it was not any Arab group but the Jews that were known as "Palestinians"!

    The uninformed use of the term "occupied territories" is misleading.

    By the beginning of the 20th century, the population of Judea and Samaria - the improperly called "West Bank" - was less than 100,000 inhabitants, of which the majority were Jews. Gaza had no more than 80,000 "native" inhabitants in 1951, at the end of Israel's Independence War against the whole Arab world.

    Gaza was occupied by Arabs: How is it possible that in only 50 years it has increased from 80,000 to more than one million people? Are all those Arabs of Gaza so skillful as to procreate children in a supernatural way? Mass immigration is the ONLY plausible explanation for such a demographic increase.

    The Arab occupation between 1948 and 1967 was an advantageous opportunity for Arab leaders to promote mass immigration of so-called "Palestinians" (a mishmash of Arab immigrants) into Judea, Samaria and Gaza from every Arab country, mainly Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan.

    In fact, since 1950 until the Six-Day War, under Jordanian rule, more than 250 Arab settlements have been founded in Judea and Samaria. The recent construction of the Arab houses is quite evident by the materials used for building: concrete and cinderblock.

    The Israeli government admits to have allowed over 240,000 workers to enter Judea and Samaria through the border with Jordan since the Oslo Conference - only to have them stay in those territories as Arab settlers. The actual numbers are probably higher. If hundreds of thousands of Middle Eastern migrant workers are flooding into the Judea, Samaria and Gaza, why should Israel be required to provide them jobs? In fact the reverse, by supporting their economy while these people refuse to accept Israeli or Jordanian citizenship, Israel is only attracting more migrant workers.

    Saudi Arabia in a single year expelled over 1,000,000 stateless migrant workers. Lest anyone think that these are all "Palestinians," taking account of the definition of "Palestinian" according to the United Nations: all those Arabs that spent TWO YEARS in "Palestine" before 1948, and their descendants - with or without proof or documentation.

    This definition was specifically designed to include immigrant Arab settlers (not Jewish settlers!).

    Another of the big lies that are being passed off as truth by politics and mass media is the "Palestinian refugees" issue: the allegedly "native" population that were "evicted" by the Israelis. Actually, in 1948 the Arab so-called refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders, who promised to purge the Land of Jews. Almost 70 % of them left without having ever seen a single Israeli soldier.

    The U.S. help involves arming the "good" Palestinian terrorists of Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), so that their arms will be used against Arabs and Jews without discrimination.

    The U.S. help also means giving Saudi Arabia the very latest intelligence aircraft for use against Arabs and Jews with no discrimination.

    Yes, I suspect that without this U.S. help, Israel could do quite well.

    Most people do not stop to think about something.The Jews once scattered after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. were mistreated everywhere they went.It wasn't the masses so much that caused Rome's wrath to come down upon them but the group of leaders hiring mercenaries trying to over throw them.Also after reading about some of the insane Caesars of the day I can understand why they might attempt such a thing.

    When they went into europe under roman catholic rule, they were singled out and forced to convert to catholicism or suffer the consequences.They were sometimes dragged into these so called "Christian" churches and beaten to death for being a Jew.

    These went on wherever they went and when the holocaust happened, they decided they had, had enough.They went back to the land they were driven from formed their own state and said "Never again".

    Most people can not understand what they had been through as a people down through the centuries and maybe some of their leaders are corrupt but name ANY government without that same problem.I dare you to.You are condemning ALL Israelis for a few bad ones and that is just wrong.

    Next, every time the Jews have given in to their demands in order to have peace, the Muslims turned around and stabbed them in the back.Like a while back when they gave Hamas the concessions they asked for,then Hamas opened fire on them and Israel said "Enough is enough!" and fired back.

    ONE LAST THING.

    The palestinians who are in control of the oil, why aren't they spreading their wealth around to their poor and needy?with the money they have a little strip mining operation is not affecting them not to mention look atthe building they are building in the gulf!

    America most certainly is aiding ans abetting Israel's claiming more and more land. This land is not theirs. But, if you believe as some do here, that the land Israel is claiming is historically theirs I suggest you start giving back the land stolen from the native Americans in America's first genocide.

    The rightful owner of East Jerusalem and the West Bank is Jordan. But Jordan wants no part of these territories, and signed a peace treaty with Israel without demanding their return. Because there is no such state as Palestine, the terms of the Kellog-Briand Pact are therefore no longer applicable to the current situation (as they were when the original Security Council Resolutions on Jerusalem were passed in 1958, 1968, and 1969) and there is no sovereign from which Israel is "stealing" anything there. There probably IS a good claim for illegal expropriation of private property, but that's a different matter entirely.

    Likewise, the rightful sovereign over Gaza is Egypt, which manifestly does NOT want the territory back. Since there is no such state as Gaza, there is no competing sovereign from which Israeli is "stealing" anything.
