There are also some nations that were founded by the gun – but you have to go back quite a long way for evidence, no-one else carried out their slaughters in the 20th Century.

What makes Israel different is that the owners are still around and the colonisers are still holding guns and still using them to defend their ill-gotten gains against the rightful owners.

Israel is also a nuclear state that makes no secret of the “Samson Option”, armed fanaticism a lot more extreme than that of Iran. Israel will blow up the entire Middle East (indeed, the world) rather than abide by law or give back what they've stolen.

Of course, if Saudi Arabia and Syria are your bench-marks, then Israel will look quite good. But people outside the Middle East will be horrified you've lowered yourself so far.

Arpaio appearance at ASU sparks outcry

“Some Arizona State University students say Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio doesn't deserve to speak at a First Amendment forum later this month at the journalism school because they say Arpaio does not tolerate dissent.”

Why is Israel the only nation subject to andyfree's “fundamental principal”?

Thanks called a double-standard. The unknown is what causes humans to be so delusional.

Oh yah, where does that name “Hebron” come from???

The Western Wall was erected by King Herod, but he was only a nominal “King of the Jews” imposed by the Romans. The deep foundations are his, but most of the Wall that can be seen was added by the Muslims.

Meanwhile, International Law and the world community insist on a fundamental principle, the inadmissibility of gaining territory by force. So it will all have to go back.
