I'm not saying I'm happy with Israel's location especially for it being founded on grounds that didn't really belong to it.
But you have to remember it was founded because the world didn't really welcome the Jewish, and they suffered the holocaust.
I wasn't talking about just
where it was founded, but
how. And don't give me that crap about the Holocaust - Israel was a project that had been ongoing for decades before that became even a vague possibility. Israel had trained an army so powerful that
none of its neighbouring countries could even touch it by the time they actually "got" the land. Terrorism, illegalities, corruption, and xenophobia are the founding pillars of the nation you live in. It's true that this could be said of more than one nation, but that doesn't excuse it, nor does it excuse that you think Israel doesn't hail its murderers as champions.
Terrorists and assassins were given important positions following Britain's cave-in and Israel's birth. An example given here could be
Menachem Begin, a man who is famous for leading several Irgun attacks (and Irgun itself). Irgun, as you might know, was not a very nice organization, nor was its splinter Lehi any nicer. You can bet that a whole host of their "champions" were given a warm welcome in Israel.
At Norwegian universities there are lectures on this subject, though controversial (seeing as Israel has no problem branding my entire country antisemitic for disagreeing with their white-washing of history and militaristic attitudes).
I'm not saying I don't understand the xenophobia, but that doesn't make me appreciate the hypocrisy.
