Palestine under the Mandate of the league of Nations included what is now called Jordaniwhich was supposed to be the Arab part of Palestine. Then the British gave that area to a Beduin Prince from Saudi Arabia (Hussein family). Jordan was 78% of Palestine. Then the UN gave the Jews 17% and the rest was supposed to be another arab state but the arabs refused it in 1948. The Jordanians took over the West bank illegally in 1949 and kept until the war of 1967, 18 years. Why didn't the Palestinians ask for a state during that time?

35. anti-Israel talkbackers are envious of Israels' successes
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (12.16.12)
These anti-Israel talkbackers are reading from the same anti-Israel propoganda play book. They resent and hate Israel's successes, so they try to deny Israel's achievements and try to falsely attribute Israel's achievements as something evil They attack Israel with lies, and create their own lying versions which contradict historical facts.

Let's review this. The Jews accepted partition. The Arabs did not, and chose to go to war instead. They lost. I'm sorry, but what part of the word "lost" do you not understand? Your deficient intellectual capacities notwithstanding, do you understand that there are consequences to losing wars? Particularly for the aggressor? The Arabs started six wars; they lost all six. They are damned lucky that Israel hasn't kicked each and every one of their sorry asses somewhere else. That happens as a result of war, too. Check history. You might find it enlightening.

You have no right to judge France or another european countries for that matter.As to for the French' spine-have you forgotten that it was the French who bore the brunt in ww1? The US is bragging because you never had a war on your own soil or a war which threatened its very existence.I remember well how America reacted to 9/11 with about 3500 dead.Now compare that to the millions the French lost
38. Winning in Europe? Sorry, but that's a joke.
An Israeli   (12.19.12)
Just ask real Europeans what they think about us, and you'll see they'd re-do the holocaust again today. All these "ties" are temporary mutual economic interests, and we know that when money matters, no one is ever excluded. Even during the dark middle ages, Christians used Jews for practical economic issues. Nothing has changed in Europe.
