1. Its true that civilians who are living over there get hurt.........and people can argue its unavoidable.......but government (in any country) should be able to minimize it.
Agreed.. But if Hamaz wants to stop Israel attacking the gaza strip all it has to do is stop attacking Israel with Rockets right... infact thats what the Israel Forign Minister said.."We cant have peace talks while Hamaz continues Rocket attacks at us"...it should work both ways ne ?
2. How was Israel born machan? Is it like the india-pakisthan-bangladesh scene?
Not entirely..but close--- heres the basic view
in the 20s the British divided the Ottoman Palastine to 2 parts..the West side of the Jordan River was given to the Jews (Israel) & the East side to the Arabs (Trans Jordan later became Jordan)..
Then WWII happened.. Jews were hunted around the world, put in to concentration camps..then 6 million of them were slaughted... after the end of the war the world didnt know what to do with the Jewish problem... all were scattered around the world & many have lost their loved one...so the british again put them in camps..
Slowly rich Americans started buying marsh lands of the borders of the already jewish state of the western edge of Jordan.. THEY BOUGHT LANDS OFF THE RESIDING PALESTINIANS..most were marsh lands where the Palestinians have given up as useless.. Then groups operating around the world trying to get the scattered devastated Jews to one land (groups like Mossad-Aliya-Bet) started sending them from concentration camps of the British (even falling to hunger strikes for release of the refugees)..
They hired ships & planes started bringing Jews from everywhere..made camps & started cultivation… all the marsh lands they bought, they cultivated..and started farming & built communities… Now the Palestinians started to get angry… the marsh lands they sold were being cultivated & more Jews were coming to Palestine…. Still there were British Garrisons in Palastine to keep the Arabs from completely massacering the Jews.. But then in 47 the British troops withdrew leaving the Jews at the mercy of the Arabs… The Jews had no army yet & they had to defend with what they got & to stop getting massacred for the second time…
6 Day War
In 48 in the General Assembly recognized Israel as the state of the Jews… The entire arab world screamed bloody murder. Armies of Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq invaded Israel swearing to wipe them out. The Israelites were out numbered 10-1..Women & Children jumped on Arab tanks wearing bombs in Jerusalem. After months of fighting, the Arab Armies were beaten back. The retreating Egypt Army took a small strip of land along the coast which later became the ‘Gaza Strip’
Then again in 68 Egypt expelled the UN peace keepers from the Gaza strip and went to war with Israel by forcing a blockade. Again Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, and Syria Armies mobilized wowing to destroy Israel and kill every Jew. Again the rest of the world looked away. Again Israel was out numbered 10-1..And again the Israelis won. The war just lasted 6 days… they completely destroyed all the armies & won the war in 6 days & took back new territories Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights.

enough for now ne ? ithuruwa passata ..... If I hav made any factual mistakes, open for correction (didnt copy paste from the net..so mistakes can happen)
3. Why would you think palastine would cause trouble if Israel is not there?
The amount of Terrorism that would come from Palatine if not kept under check..unlike the Middle East Palatines is not rich right ? So the Islamic Militant groups would run amok..at least they have a source to direct their anger at :Israel"..because of this the rest of the world atleast can live in peace without getting bothered from the terrorists in Palstine..THIS IS JUST MU VIEW
