Israel has its own independence :lightbulb: scotland is part of the UK,and to become independent,the majority of the people concerned have to vote for it.
Also Israel was created against the wishes of the majority of the population of the people who actually lived there,not very democratic.


As previously stated, there was a large Jewish population in Israel at the time of its creation. And their ancestors inhabited the land, so why don't they have a right to it?

What's sad about it? You think it would be better if they had more time on their hands so they could target innocent civilians?

Could not find pre-Israel demographics from shortly before the creation of Israel, but:

Ethnic Makeup of Israel
Jewish....................5,394,400 75.79%
Israeli Arab..............1,413,300 19.86%
Unaffiliated..............309,900 4.35%

According to wiki, Jews are in the majority, so the state of Israel has a right to exist now, I assume?

Okay, they were at least a third of the population at the time they declared the state of Israel, then millions immigrated and Arabs fled and they were certainly a majority in the very early years. So the Israeli population was majority Jewish not long after the initial Israeli-Arab conflicts. So matter settled right? Can't get rid of Israel now, right?

They wooped the Brits asses, too, at that exact time. Why didn't the Brits protect the majority, against those evil Israelis? Again, it's convenient to be Scottish, isn't it?:no:

I'd like to see a counterargument from your position as to why it doesn't instead of dodging it.

Fine, but that's irrelevant since the majority of Israelis are Jews today.

I could keep posting that until you look up the meaning of irrelevant or explain why it matters.

Yes, what does this have to do with current affairs? You can complain about it all you want, but it still doesn't matter any more.

"It dosen't matter anymore" to whom are you talking about,i can assure you it does matter,to the people who were displaced from their homes and the arab world as a whole,so it clearly does matter,and has been one of the main reasons of conflict in the middle-east for decades to the present day.

So the majority mattered then but not now. If this is what you think, let's go back even further. Are the Arabs the only surviving group who lived in Israel? If no, who were the previous inhabitants? Why were they displaced? Did the majority of them want to be kicked out of their homeland or persecuted for centuries?

It's odd how the Muslims are always the good guys.

Who said the muslims are always the good guys ? not me.

You just cant seem to get it into your head the creation of the state of Israel is responsible for a lot of problems in the middle-east,nope the jews did not want to be kicked out or persucuted for centuries,(christians doing most of the persecution) but it was the jews who did the kicking out when the state of israel was created.
