Does Israel have the right to exist in Palestine?

First, The UN had no right to declare the state of Israel based on a promise by Lord Belfore of Britain In 1918. At this time Palestine was an occupied land and when the English left, No one had the right to divide a land that did not belong to them and was not voted upon by the citizens of the country (at that time Palestine). Second, Israel survived each proclaimed attack because the armies in from Britain and the US interfered and supplied reinforcements to Israel. Third Israel stole and occupied Sinai in 1967 from Egypt, Egypt regained most of Sinai in the 1973 war and negotiated the return of the border city of Taba from 1976 to 1981. Fourth, if Israel didn't exist before and was forced upon the people of the country by foreign nations to uphold the promise of a supreme power to a group of people, then the promise would logically by upheld in a place where that country rules, meaning Israel should exists in UK not in Palestine since the British left before 1946. Fifth, If someone invaded your country, violates all human rights, kills thousands of innocent civilians, then don't blame revolutionists and freedom fighters who are trying to regain their country for wanting to do whatever they have to do to regain their country. And last but not least, what does having many Arab states and one Jewish state got to do with anything?? We don't mind a Jewish state, just don't occupy our land and establish it there. You want to give the Jews a Jewish state, then give it in your OWN Land. If Israel is no big than the state of NJ and US is very pro Israel then by all means give them NJ. That will solve the problem! Or if you prefer since the promise was made by the UK let's give them Ireland or Yorkshire or something! Plus look at the progress of Israel and the mass murders during the last 70 years and you tell me his scenarios are true? Jews lived among Arabs and Muslims peacefully and they still do in some locations. Only the infamous Israel has a problem.

A friend of mine wrote the following.

Israel - the presenter rationalizes Israel's formation because the UN approved a Jewish state there.. Do you know how many UN resolution Israel violates now?? you can't use the UN for what you want and not follow the other resolutions.2. Hamas is a vile organization that feeds on the helplessness of the Palestinian people to stay in existence - to equate all of the Palestinians to Hamas is stereotyping all Palestinians into one bucket. Lets say tomorrow Hamas agrees to drop its weapons and there is no more rockets being fired, will Israel open up Gaza's sea ports and let them conduct unrestricted trade with the rest of the world? The Palestinians have no access to drinkable water or power generation, that's why they refused all previous deals to create a state. If they agreed to a state like that, they would be dependent on Israel for water and power plus sea routes. The Government of Israel is using Hamas as a boogeyman to whip up emotion within their country to get whatever it wants - there is an election coming soon.3. just so you know - Palestinians are not the same as the rest of the Arab states in the region. Most Palestinians have no qualms with Jewish people living there, Jewish people have always lived there under different Arab kingdoms and then under English imperial rule, what Palestinians object to was the their forced evacuation from their villages to make way for European settlers coming in. These people were forced out of their homes and villages to make space for European refugees and just want to go back to their lands in their villages. Even now, Israel only lets new Jewish people in, Palestinians outside of Israel cannot ask for citizenship and live in their old neighborhood.4. The formation of a Jewish state makes no sense. They could have all lived in one big state without a state religion like they did for thousands of years before. What is the need to be a Jewish state? what is the obsession with just letting Jewish people in - as we know the age of nation states and boundaries is completely irrelevant in today's world.

I will also refer you to one of massacres committed by Israel in peace times against civilians.

1. The Sabra and Shatila massacre was the slaughter of between 762 and 3,500 Palestinian and Lebanese Shiite Muslim civilians, by a Lebanese Christian Phalangist militia assisted by the Israel Defense Forces, in the Sabra and Shatila Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut, Lebanon between September 16 and September 18, 1982.

On December 16, 1982, the United Nations General Assembly condemned the massacre and declared it to be an act of genocide.

The delegate for Canada stated: "The term genocide cannot, in our view, be applied to this particular inhuman act".[43] The delegate of Singapore – voting 'yes' – added: "My delegation regrets the use of the term 'an act of genocide' ... [as] the term 'genocide' is used to mean acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group." Canada and Singapore also questioned whether the General Assembly was competent to determine whether such an event would constitute genocide.

The United States commented that "While the criminality of the massacre was beyond question, it was a serious and reckless misuse of language to label this tragedy genocide as defined in the1948 Convention ...".

Such comments led William Schabas, director of the Irish Centre for Human Rights at the National University of Ireland, to state: "the term genocide ... had obviously been chosen to embarrass Israel rather than out of any concern with legal precision".

The commission's report, Israel in Lebanon, concluded that the Israeli authorities or forces were directly or indirectly responsible in the massacres and other killings that have been reported to have been carried out by Lebanese militiamen in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila in the Beirut area between 16 and September 18.

British journalist David Hirst accused the Israeli commission of crafting the concept of indirect responsibility so as to protect Israel from assuming full responsibility for the slaughter along with the Phalangists. He further states that the Commission was only able to achieve that verdict by means of errors and omissions in the analysis of the massacre.

If that didn't convince, then read this "On March 24, a report from the UN team responsible for the protection of children in war zones was released, it found "hundreds" of violations of the rights of children and accused Israeli soldiers of using children as human shields, bulldozing a home with a woman and child still inside, and shelling a building they had ordered civilians into a day earlier"

What Do I hear? Not yet? Rachel Aliene Corrie (April 10, 1979 – March 16, 2003) was an American peace activist and member of International Solidarity Movement (ISM)from Olympia, Washington, who was crushed to death by an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) armored bulldozer in Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

I can give you many examples but they are too many for me to list. Get your facts straight and then come talk to me about peace in Palestine and Israel right to exist!
