Israel used Terrorist tactics to gain Independence

"Britain had a mandate to govern Palestine. Anxious to placate the Arabs, because of their large oil interests, the British tried to prevent further Jewish immigration into Palestine, while the Jews tried to drive the British out through terroristic tactics...Exhausted, the British turned the problem over to the United Nations, where the Soviets and the Americans banded together to force a solution on the Arabs. That solution was the partition of Palestine to create a Jewish state...On May 14, 1948, Israel proclaimed its independence. The US was the first country to recognize the new state, Russia a close second."
Isn't it ironic that the Israeli's got their own state by terrorism. This also shows the British opposition to an Israeli state. Now the Israeli's are suprised when the Palestinians use terrorism to try and get their land back.

bravo...:)....at last, someone digged a more solid arguement than the usual dick-shifting we get on the topic....yea, organizations such as Hagana, Palmah,Lehi etc were by defenition guerilla in their flavour....but u shouldn't forget, at that time Palestine was thrown under a mandate, there was no established state over here, nor did these organizations have anything to do with arab nations, they were mainlly there to get the british mandate out....What the Palestinians are doing now is cevillian terrorism by motive.

well may be (as for native americans) but what u don't get is that it's not really analogical, do u realise that about a hundred something years ago there wasn't even such a thing as a "Palestinian", these were people from diffrened tribes and backgrounds(often rival groups) whose will to get the Jews out of their original homeland was enormous enough to unite them despite all disagreements, there was nothing established over here, if it wasn't for them we could've all lived in peace today.

and speaking of this "Israeli claim", i got a question.
Name one country or nationality that got a piece of land cuz their holy book says so. The right wing Bible thumpers and its zionist allies kill me for real, they have a claim to the land because their Bible says so...lol
Does anyone not see the ridicolousness of that?

I suppose you're not familiar with Herzel's theories dog?, did u know that Israel was originally expected to declare it's independence also in Ugenda, Africa and even somewhere in south america at first?....what Im saying is that the fact Israel declared it's independence on the holly land was almost a coinsedence....after WW2 the process was exalorated because no one wanted something like that to happen again.

Props to Tech and JayayBee they were on point. I-Geezy had some decent responses but I think in a situation like this one should side with the United Nations and International Law. The United Nations was put there to promote peace and compromise amongst nations. I think the closest we are going to come to satisfying both sides is through a solution drawn up by the UN.
