When Ben-Gurion declared the State of Israel, after the Arabs rejected the UN partition plan, the Arab countries surrounding Israel started a war. Israel won that war and has won every war since then. Israel is the Jewish homeland. The Arabs have over 20 countries to call home, don\'t suggest that they take ours.");
AddReply(38927,"Jstice and Terrorism","Angel Sistos","San Clemente, CA","08/09/06","In defense of Israel?s policies in the West Bank, Gaza, and Lebanon, the argument is often made that Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorist actions against it?s citizens.   What is missing from this argument is the fact that Israel?s occupation of Arab lands and illegal detention and assassinations of Arabs have created an inherently oppressive and intolerable situation where hopelessness and outrage have compelled some individuals to strike back with desperate acts of violence.  Israel?s policies of occupation and apartheid are morally indefensible and contrary to basic principles of justice and compassion for all peoples.  Ultimately, the root cause of the conflict can best be surmised in the following statement by David Ben-Gurion:  ?If I were an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. . . We come from Israel, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti-semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that??    ");
