BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | Abbas sacks Hamas-led government This is really bad. If you follow international politics at all, you'll know why. If not, show your ignorance and ask why.
*rolls up sleeves* Basically, after the persecution of the Jews in WW2, world leaders drew up a charter that decided there should be a Jewish state within the world. Palestine gave some of the land to the new country which included the Jewish "mecca" of Jeruselam and it was called Israel. Millions of displaced Jews flocked to Israel to settle and they outgrew the land and began illegally occupying Palestinean land and claiming it as their own under the charter that created Israel in the first place. Palestine is predominantly Muslim, who are intolerant to other faiths, especially Judaism, at the best of times. This kicked off the whole war for Palestinean land, all the while, Israel continued growing. Israel, being a new country and built using mainly Western money, was, and still is, backed by the US and the UK in terms of military equipment and political power. The reason the Palestineans are getting so violent is because the world leaders won't listen to their arguement that Israel is illegally occupying their land. This shows how quickly and massively the occupation happened: The Palenstinean governemnt dissolving today puts the country (or what is left of it) in the hands of the terrorist faction that began a military coup at the beginning of the week, Hamas. Their main rivals, Fata, were in charge but have now been overthrown. Hamas are linked with organisations like Hezbollah (who took 5 Israeli soldiers hostage last year in Beirut) and also have some tenuous links with Al-Qaeda but those are unconfirmed. The most interesting link is with Iran. America alledges that Iran has been funding and supplying arms to Hamas but that just seems to me like a thinly-veiled attempt to have a reason to invade Iran, and that's when the shit really hits the fan. The other bad thing about the dissolving of the Palestinean government is that the new regime is likely to launch attacks on Israel, which means Israel will call on it's backers (the US & UK) to help repel the insurgents trying to reclaim their land. This could go either way: we'd either see the extinction of a country through military means (which hasn;t happened for a LONG time) or it'll be yet another long, drawn-out war that we can ill afford to be involved in. If you couldn't tell, I, and every other sane person, sides with Palestine. It's a Western-sponsored occupation and is wrong on so many levels. It's also another reason why I dislike a majority of Jews.

<div class="quote_poster">Oranje Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">The Israelis will be loving this palestine falling in on itself</div> I think Israel will be very disturbed by this. Palestine is on the brink of becoming a military-run country who is hellbent on destroying Israel. They won't think twice to attacking Israeli targets.
but instead of facing two enemies, israel can watch them kill each other, so in the future, they only have one enemy instead of 2 to battle. im sure they are disturbed, but at the same time, i doubt that theyll ask them to stop killing each other. theyll be laughing
Nah, they've only ever really had one enemy and that's Hamas. Fata were more geared toward peace, recently, and brokering a deal with Israel than starting a war with them. Plus Hamas are far more fanatical and will run suicide bombings etc in Israel. The bit that worries me is the so-called links America has "found" between Iran and Hamas. Bush invaded Iraq for less.
In many ways that conflict is the same as here in Northern Ireland, sides fighting to regain or keep land. Here palestinian flags fly in republican areas and Israeli flags fly in Loyalist areas
i got ti now, and fuckin isrealis and jews, no offense to anyone form isreal or jewish on this fourm but why kill arabs, what have they done to you.

Sorry but it serves them right. Maybe this Civil war will sort them out
no maybe russia will sort them out, send a nuclear bomb to north pole, first jew or arab there to get the bomb and explode it, wins the rights to jeruslam. but all rights that must mean if jersuleam was in palestine with the arab's. doesen't that mena by logic Jesus must be an arab then.
