Don't blame the UN. It was the Brits doing. At the end of WWII, the feeling in Europe was not particularly friendly to the Jewish people. To head off any more Christian-Jewish conflict, and thanks to Zionism, they dumped them on the remains of the Ottoman Empire. The Brits were seconded by the Americans and much of Europe.

Great. Then we had an Arab-Israeli conflict. Just supply the Israeli with latest weapons and turn blind eyes to the fact that they have undeclared nukes while picking up hue and cry over the Iranians and North Koreans. When it's tanks and F-16s versus handguns, can you blame Palestinians for the only option left to them: suicide bombing?

The British have a record of doing stuff like this. Look at India and Pakistan and all that trouble with Kashmir. Why create a partition? So that they'll kill each other, of course. The Brits never wanted their colonies to live in peace.

I have nothing against Jewish people. Frankly, I'm horrified at what they've had to go through, but I cannot, in all honesty, support the state of Israel, it's government or it's actions. I go to England, start a business, buy off half a county and then declare it as an independent state, think the UN and the rest of the world will go along with me? More importantly, will America give me M-1s?

You really believe you'll stop Hamas by bombing the cities? Hasn't the last half century given any indication as to whether that'll work or not? Hasn't Afghanistan or Iraq made a point? Go read up on how terrorists work before making stupid posts.
