    Almost any nation or relgion has done wrong in the past (with maybe just a few exceptions).
    Israel was created as an aftermath of the holocaust - one of the greatest wrongs ever done to a people.
    The problem is the state was created in the middle of other peoples lands. This is more a fault of Britain (my country) for dividing up Palestine using natural borders rather than political borders. Britain not listening to Laurence of Arabia...
    So Israel was created in an area surrounded by people with completely different ideas on religion etc. who feel their land was taken away from them to make way for Israel.
    One can understand why the Arabs are upset. One can also understand why Israel is always concerned for its security.
    Israel has done some pre-emtpive strikes against its neighbours e.g. bombing Nucleur plants of Arab nations.
    Any other country doing this would be condemned by the UN and severe sanctiopns taken but America would never support that. On the other hand - when those countres would readily use nuceur weapons agaisnt Israel if they had them - you can understand why Israel needed to act.
    In the past the Jews profitied out of the Crusades. Taking money from both sides - so they were hated for that. This is not Jew bashing. The Christians performed enormous attrocities as part of those crusades. The Muslims did too (I feel they were more reactionary in those incidents rather than the instigators). Like I said nearly every nation and tribe has done some attocities / bad things.
    Today I look at Israel as a nation that would like peace with its neighbours but is in fear for its existence.
    So yes they have done some things, and some things are more circumstrances - but the Israelites / Jews... have had many attocities done to them. The holocaust must never be forgotten.
    PS Im an atheist. I am not against religion - I do not intend to offend. I understand that relgion brings a lot of comfort to a lot of people. I just wish the religinos could get along. UNfortunately most of them have that one special commandment - I am the one and only true God and the rest are false. Does make it difficult for them to get along...

    • How exactly were the Muslims more reactionary than the Christians?
