LOL no. 'Israel' is the aggressor, occupying what is rightfully Palestinian land.

I wonder who was ready to accept UN compromise back in 1948 and who rejected it all? Take a wild guess.

That line of reasoning is analogous to blaming World War II on Poland because they refused to accept Franco-British efforts to broker a compromise between them and Germany over Danzig and the Polish Corridor.

Israel has a friend in Dave Hawk. The Palestinians have got Gaza and parts of the West Bank. Perhaps had the Arab nations not attacked Israel within moments of David Ben-Gurion proclaiming the State of Israel, it may have been a very different state of affairs today

But whenever Israel suffers incursions on her sovereign territory, she has a right to defend herself

Perhaps if Irgun and other Zionist terrorist organizations hadn't engaged in ethnic cleansing operations such as Deir Yassin, the Arab nations wouldn't have felt the need to attack Israel.

Given that Irgun was openly calling for not just all of Palestine, but also all of Trans-Jordan to be part of a Zionist state, and incorporated that claim into their emblem, to consider the Zionists to be innocent victims in 1948 is the height of historical revisionism.

Neither side has shown much wisdom or tolerance in the Arab-Israeli conflict of the past century, but knee-jerk defense of Israel and its policies on the basis of them never having done anything to deserve the enmity shown Israel displays an appalling disregard of history.
