Reply #24: i was just arguing the standard... [View All]

or the double standard, since i cant recall even the question if zimbabwa, sudan, or china should continue to exist or if they are a mistake......israel in becoming established and its existence is actually far above the worlds standard for government. Furthermore I would argue that dictatorships in fact have no right to exist...that would include not just the entire arab rule but "most likely" the version of the Palestinian govt that would have emerged in the late 1930s or 40s had the Palestinians established self-rule.

I suspect with good reason that the arabs in israel, do not see israel as the mistake...given the probable alternative had israel lost in 48 or having not even been established.....

in respect to the settlements...i agree with you
