First of all, Tisa, try not to create a divergence towards something I have not even given a slightest hints to, let alone clearly suggest. Second, yes, I stand by what you have quoted from me. Think: Carving up of Arab land, solely as per the wishes and plans of the colonial powers, who have absolutely NADA, ZIT idea about the culture, traditions, geo-political realities of the land being carved...I find it utterly incomprehensible. Israel was created, in my opinion, to appease the Jews, who had undergone an unfathomable sufferings during WW II. This apparently, could have been an attempt by the West to cleanse their guilt of not being able to protect them properly. That is all fine. However, to do so with utter disregard to the consequences, utter disregard to the feelings of the original inhabitants to the land to be carved up is TOTAL non-sense. The Arabs were not even consulted, let alone their thoughts considered, whent he West decided that the Jewish country, Israel, would be created in what was then in totality, including what is now Lebanon, Syria and Jordan, simply Palestine. That was wrong. However, as I have already suggested, though, that what happened took place more than half a century ago, and the existence of Israel is a reality we all must accept. I do too. Did you know that before Israel was created, Uganda was aleading the list of destinations, as per the "smart ideas" of the colonial powers, as a new home for the Jews? This suggests how random, thoughtless, and insensible were the ideas of colonial masters.
