Re: Modern State of Israel

I think you make good points Thaetetus. I think the reason why it was placed where it was placed is the person to whom the Balfour Declaration was made out to: Lord Rothchild. Perhaps you should google this name. It is not the kind of person who worries about terrorism, exploitation or war. It is the kind of person who uses such means to enrich himself.

Re: Modern State of Israel

Theaetetus, I strongly disagree. All one has to do is simply remove the State of Israel. It is not a State that is Nationhood but a State of Mind. It has been allowed to build as though it was a nation, acquiring property that has been allowed so as to alleviate the stress that people of Jewish faith have demanded of companies that owe a retribution to the families that helped develop wartime efforts, under duress.

Ask yourself the question, who suffers everytime that the Jews of Palestine make a demand of the world that caused the suffering that was the haulocaust. You wont find Germany, France, England or companies of their citizens paying anything out. Neither do they step beyond simple words at the table when in comes to determine whether they are being unfair in their treatment to the people of Palestine.

With that logic we may as well get rid of both Canada and the United States because they have no right to exist in the same way you say Israel does not. See where you fail?

Re: Modern State of Israel

Is it worth mentioning that Zionism began as an anti-spiritual experiment?

Prior to the Kookist movement, which became horribly oversimplified when his son came to political prominence, Zionism was a socialist and Marxist movement, which generally rejected the spiritual aspect of Zionism which now dominates the discussion... at least in the USA.
