Have you ever looked at a map of the land given to Israel in 1947, and comparred it to present day Israel?Wasn't that land given to them in 1946 or 47. Kinda hard to occupy something that already belongs to you.

Yes.So all those years that Germany or atleast the eastern part was ruled by Russia should not have happened?
With that logic every attack/invasion can be justified as a preventive action... a slippery slope indeed.Maybe i read this wrong or heard it the wrong way. If Israel wants to defend itself from a possible Iranian threat, so be it. If Iran wants to defend itself by attacking Israel, so be it.
Dose that justify Israel killing Palestinians, Lebanese and Iranians of their home soils?But, and this is the part i don't like, if Iran attacks jewish citizens on US soil, or regular citizens on US soil, even if the US does not get involved. Im sorry, but Iran has then crossed the line.
If Iran attacks the US, without US involvement. Well then, one solution is left in my mind to resolve the Iranian government...
Israel sould be allowed to exist peacefully within its pre-1967 borders, and be defended in doing so by the US/UN/NATO/GCC.What is everyone's thought on what should be done with Israel? Should it stay? Should the U.S. support them? If we should not support them, what would happen?
When did they do that?Actually the British gave the Arabs Those lands which in fact belonged to Isreal.
Of course it stays, but it should be inside the original borders w/ small land swaps or compensation made where needed. We should support them only if they obey law. How much we should support them is debatable I guess.What is everyone's thought on what should be done with Israel? Should it stay? Should the U.S. support them? If we should not support them, what would happen?
Israel's explanation for all of that is that they are responding, self-defense, etc. I see their point, but I agree with you that they go too far at times.Israel sould be allowed to exist peacefully within its pre-1967 borders, and be defended in doing so by the US/UN/NATO/GCC.What is everyone's thought on what should be done with Israel?

However its continued occupation of land beyond that and frequent attacks upon the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria should be economically and militarily opposed by US/UN/NATO/GCC.
and that is 99% BS. Remember this big time...Israel lies. Choose ANY attack of theirs that was self defense and we can look at it in some detail and see if it really was SD.Israel's explanation for all of that is that they are responding, self-defense, etc. I see their point, but I agree with you that they go too far at times.Israel sould be allowed to exist peacefully within its pre-1967 borders, and be defended in doing so by the US/UN/NATO/GCC.What is everyone's thought on what should be done with Israel?

I do not put much credence in that explanation. You are not legitimately defending yourself when you are occupying another people's land, preventing them from forming their own nation, occassionaly invading them, frequently embarking on military missions on their land, blockading them into an open-air concentration camp, and imprisoning thousands of their civilians without charge.Israel's explanation for all of that is that they are responding, self-defense, etc. I see their point, but I agree with you that they go too far at times.

It is simply not true that Israel is ONLY being the aggressor. Israel did not wake up one day and decide to piss off all of its neighbors for no reason.
it's nothing close to 50/50. That's what Israel wants us to believe..that way we just throw our hands up and do nothing to stop it.Israel is not innocent.
The countries surrounding Israel are not innocent.
