So you're saying it's okay for Israel to have WMD but not arab nations. Care to explain why in public? Is it race? Religion?

It's the fact that if Iran has a WMD, then they will use it to destroy Israel.

Israel's militarism comes from the fact that the countries surrounding it attack it almost constantly.

Because Israel represses the Palestinians and attempts to intimidate it's neighbors.

Even when it was first founded, and its neighbors attacked it immediately?

Israel accepted partition, it was the Palestinians who got greedy, lost, and whined about it.

They weren't being expelled.  They refused to let Israel have anything, and so they went to war and lost.

The zionist settlers didn't deserve anything. The last time I checked it was germans who did the holocaust and not arabs. Or are arab land titles worth less because of genetic inferiority?

The land belonged to the British, who gave it to the UN; the UN split it up, and the Arabs didn't like what they got, so they went to war and lost; that's their problem.

The country was a British possession on mandate from the League of Nations, so whether it even 'belonged' to the British is debatable. But even if it did, that doesn't affect the rights of the individual Palestinians who owned their homes and tracts of land not to have their property taken from them, unless you are arguing that the British government literally owned all the land in Palestine and the Palestinians were just leasing it from them.

But the palestinians are not White unlike jews so it's perfectly kosher to steal their land. Don't you read your AIPAC handouts?
