Quoth donnella whiteacre: > why is that so hard to follow. after five wars all started by their > friendly neighbors, yes the jews have quite a good army going. // http://www.ccds.charlotte.nc.us/History/Egypt/05/eisenhauer/ "In a futile attempt to reassert their power in the area, Israel invaded Egypt and tried to overtake one side of the Suez Canal. The British and French tried proposing a peaceful solution but they were unsuccessful as well. The three countries, by then unofficially known as the tripartite collusion (http://campus.northpark.edu/history/ WebChron/MiddleEast/SuezNat.html), decided in mid-October 1956 to undertake a joint intervention (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/ops/suez.htm). They staged an attack on Egypt in late October, destroying the entire Egyptian Air Force (http://www.galenet.com/servlet/SRC/hits?) and sending in enough troops to occupy the canal territory (http://campus.northpark.edu/history/WebChron /MiddleEast/SuezNat.html). However, the United States and the Soviet Union did not like what the tripartite collusion had done because it made the world understand how the Soviet Union and the U.S. were using smaller countries as pawns in a larger struggle for dominance (http://campus.northpark.edu/history/WebChron/ MiddleEast/SuezNat.html)." http://wonderclub.com/WorldWonders/SuezHistory.html Wow, it really sounds like Egypt declared an unprovoked war on Israel, eh!?! What an invasion of Israel! An Egyptian president nationalizes a canal in Egyptian territory to help pay for a dam which he hopes to use to develop his nation with. What an invasion! What a declaration of war! Zippy the Pinhead couldn't have put it better.

If someone invades my house and I shoot back, that makes me an aggressor? The expulsion of Palestinian villagers was already in full swing long before the Arab League acted. And a good many of those villages were _NOT_ in the declared Jewish partition. And the idea that the Zionists had nothing - no, of course not. They just had imaginary Spitfires and Me 109 Gustaves et al.? Yeah right! They beat the Arab League with imaginary bullets. They had imaginary armoured cars. You can do a lot with imaginary armoured cars, can't you! http://students.bugs.bham.ac.uk/palestinian/nakba.htm "April 1: Ship Nora delivers first consignment of Czech arms in Haifa. UN Security Council resolutions call for a special session of General Assembly and agree to US proposal for truce to be arranged through Jewish Agency and Arab Higher Committee.

I always thought revenge for sufferings inflicted was a human right. http://www.holocaust-education.dk/baggrund/krystalnatten.asp "The assassination happened as revenge for the expulsion of Herschel Grynszpan’s parents, who were Polish Jews, from Germany to Poland." http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Palestinian_Exodus "It was clear to the villages in the Galilee, that if they left, return was far from imminent. Therefore far fewer villages was spontaneously depopulated than previously. Most of it was due to clear, direct cause, including brutal expulsion and deliberate harassment. About half a dozen massacres was committed in the Galilee by the IDF during this stage of the war." So far you've said nothing that doesn't apply equally to the Arabs. The only thing you've said that I can agree wholeheartedly, is the condemnation of the Arab leaderhsip for corruption. But then, that appears to apply equally to Ariel Sharon.
