@Didymos Thomas,
I do not see the problem in Israel as something that was formed by the Jewish people but rather a mistake performed by the United Nations and those who felt they had more of an excuse to solicit, in the respect of both the positition of Palestine and the wish of the people there of.
Palestine was and still is, a land of no clear possesion. Does Islam have a claim to it that any should feel obliged to acknowledge. If there is then we should also allow the rights of Christianity and Judaism.
Do nations that at one time conquered that place have right to it. If so then all who have conquered it should have a say.
When we take a vote on such an issue do we exclude those who live there or about there from partaking. If so then you have a State of Israel.
The first state of sorts that was formed in Palestine in reguard to a Jewish quarter, so to speak, was a residual effect in gratitude to Jewish funds that were accepted to help in the war against the Kaiser during the first world war, at the declaration of the Versaille Treaty. Palestine was under the rule of new conquerers. Following World War Two, a second treaty was devised to allow for the settlement of displaced Jewish people, into Palestine. From this, the State of Israel emerged from itself and took what was once Palestine.
Following WWII, many nations fought off the opression of colonial rule, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Egypt and so on. Palestine was a territory that the United Nations placed into an adjunctment of Europe. Whether to rid themselves of their scourge or place the displaced in what the bible says is their homeland.
I say scourge not in disrespect to Jewish people but to reflect the sentiment that all European nations held in reguard there of since they themselves became nations. At the foot of every church and nation of Europe is the skin of Jewish settlement. While the hand may be open in times of need, England during the war against the French and the Spanish, much of what helped modernise Europe came from systems that were developed by a Jewish quarter only to find themselves discarded once patriotism took fever.
I am saddened mostly by the fact that The United States of America wear the brunt of repriasal from the Middle East, them aside from the Jewish people in Palestine, when it is Europe that should suffer the fate.
