Why is no one pointing the finger at the British for placing all jews after the holocoust in palestine ?

Probably because the Brits didn't do it.  The whole world voted to return Israel.  No "Palestineans" were displaced.  The Jews were already on the site and had their own lands.

I'm not sure on your facts, but I do believe Israel is just as mush to blame as Palestine over the violence taking place there. Israel should have never been formed without consent from the people who were living in the region already. If the Ottoman Empire had kept up with western Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries, there never would have been such a strong European presence in the region, the Zionists could have never pressured European leaders into forming the Israeli state, and there would be one less problem in the world.

cause UK and the UN has gave themselves the right to give away to the jews something they dont own,despite the will of the ppl who own it.\nand then the jews wanted also to drive the real owners of the place out!!!\nThats why war btw Muslims & israeli will continue till the jews get out of this land that dont belong to them,or at least accept to live in peace under the control of the palastinians who r the real owners of the land.

It is not fair.  \n\nFurthermore, it is stupid to have Israel planted in the heart of the muslim world, why not in Western Europe where they lived before.  The Jews didn't care they almost went to Africa for thier holy land, and they were turned away by America... It is all US interventions that is causing the holocaust taking place right now against the Palestinians and we should all do our best to stop it.

it is a long story but here is the short end. back in ww2 the jews had decided they had enough of being persrcuted where ever they go. considering there was no such thing as the jewish nation. as you know the americans british and the french allied together to save the jews from the nazis. then popped in zionism. the british and the zionist banned together and took palestine. at the time there was no saudi arabia or jordan. the palestinian people never did agree to have their land taken from them but it was taken any ways. the palestinians were the majority obviously considering it is their land. they are killed every day. their houses were destroyed, their people were kicked out of their land and massive amounts of jewish people world wide came to live there. a true jew knows that israel is not theirs for the taken and there is a fight between zionist jews that do not follow the torah and the orthodox jews who DO follow the torah. http://www.nkusa.org/AboutUs/FAQs/protest020702.cfm here is a website showing the real orthodox jewish stand point. the palestinians do in deed take part in suicide bombings because they do not have any other way to defend themselves against tanks, machine guns, granaids, and other weaponry the israeli's have. orthodox jews are killed as well as the palestinians trying to stop the injustice. the suicide bombers do it out of desperation. it would be like you living in your home all of a sudden some people come into your house say this is their land and force you out. if yo resist they will kill you. so when a relative gets killed by the israelis well of corse they are to strike back. israel has a nuclear bomb. palestinians have NOTHING but some rocks and home made bombs. there are car bombings, bus bombings, etc.. in no way are these things alright to do when it comes to killing innocent life no matter who you are. the palestinians should sit back and wait until they become strong enough to fight back. but i am not in their posistion so i can not say. when i look at the zionist i hate their actions but i can understand to a point why they want to have a country of their own. they are tired of being persicuted where ever they go. christians have been killing them in mass numbers for centeries now. dated way back to one of the first popes. i know that according to islam they have a right to live where ever they want to live as long as they do it in a peaceful manner. muslims welcome the people in the website above. the ones that follow the torah the correct way. these are peaeful good hearted jews. but the jews who take israel by force knowing they are forbidden and are to follow the laws in which ever country they reside in and go against it will be judged which is stated in THEIR own book. so in conclusion which ever side you are on the whole war is about land!

Israel was imposed on Palestine by the UN, it is a racist state which is based on discrimination of non-Jews. \n\nWhilst I absolutly oppose Hamas and their anti semitism, it is a bit of a cheek for the USA and the EU to claim to be creating democracy in Iraq and then actively trying to undermine it in Palestine, simply because they do not like who got elected.  Still, at least it gives us an uptodate definition of hypocrisy I suppose.

oh please. I'm so tired of "Israel defending herself" as opposed to "Palestine defending herself." They've been fighting for decades! They'll be fighting for decades to come. Israel claims they were given the "Promised Land" which just so happens to be land that the Palestinians inhabit. I'm tired of all of this Promised Land" nonsense just as I am tired of hearing about the so-called "Chosen People"..ALL of God's children are Chosen. All of them. Not just Jews! How do we know the land was promised anyway? Were there other "promises" made AFTER this so-called promise? I just read an article which said that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. The same article said that 6 million OR MORE other people were killed also (other "undesirables, who WERE NOT Jewish!)\nyet we never hear about them. I used to feel a lot of sympathy for Jews. Now I don't. They are NOT the only people who have undergone horrors! \nAnd they are not a democracy. \nThey don't know who they are.

The Jewish people DO have a country of their own and they are not about to go away any time soon no matter how much you like or dislike them.\n\nIts sad that Palestine does not have a country of their own and have descended into violence out of frustration.  The UN declaration that gave Israel its start was also supposed to start a Palestinian state but that got obfuscated in the complex politics that ensued.

Palestine... there is no such place.  If Saudi Arabia, Egypt or other Arab neighbors WANTED there to be a Palestine... there would have been one prior to 1948.

what some of the others neglected to tell you is that there is such a bitter hatred of jews among arabs that they can't stand the idea of there being a jewish state at all.  The particular land wasn't that important to the palestinians (a misnomer because there really is no nationality) it was because jews were there.  The other arab states don't even want the so called palestinians.  There could be peace if these people would live in peace.  The Israelis want it but they will no longer tolerate terrorism or a threat to their security.  Can you blame them? \nJust for the record..I am not a jew and I do not hate palestinians.  I pray they can find a way to live in peace.

No. I personally don't think the whole Jewish population (including many POWs, Gypsies, German sympathizers, the mentally sick, gays/lesbians, political activists, etc. etc.) got together, killed some, tattooed numbers on the survivors, and dug mass graves to get an Israel. THere was nothing it in for the non-Jews.\n\nYes, it happened.

Ok, If you want to learn then let me start with a brief history. Palestine was occupied by the Zionists in consequent steps after the Balfour declaration in 1917. Since then the Palestinians (Muslims, Christians and Jews) have been in struggle to free their land from what was then called "Israel", yet they were always willing to accept any reasonable solution to the crisis as long as it takes into consideration their basic rights including the rights of 7 million Palestinian refugees to return to their homes in the so called "Israel", a right that is stated and ensured by the UN and international law. However, the Zionists want the whole Holy Land "Palestine" for them alone, and that's why they kept attacking Palestinians and committing massacres in them even after the 1948 war. In 1967 Israel took over the rest of Palestine (West Bank and Gaza Strip) in addition to the Sinai desert from Egypt, the Golan heights from Syria, South of Lebanon and west of Jordan.\n\nThe Palestinian resistance never stopped and will never stop until the land is freed. Unfortunately the global media is mainly owned or run by Zionists who succeeded so far in hiding the truth of what is going on in Palestine from the rest of the world.\n\nWhatever the Palestinians do it should be understood as a resistance and fight for their just cause. How would you react to someone who would kick you out of your house and occupy it by force?! It is more of less the same thing.\n\nAlthough for Palestinians any Zionist living in their land is part of the brutal occupation, they the resistance groups (led by Hamas) agreed 18 months ago not to attack Israeli civilians (this does not include Settlers living in illegal settlements in the West Bank or Gaza Strip), an agreement which Hamas respected disregarding the thousands of violations of that agreement from Israel through the past 18 months. It wasn't until 2 weeks ago when Al-Qassam Brigades decided to stop the cease-fire after the Israeli army killed a whole family while they were enjoying their time on the beach of Gaza (I won't be surprised if you told me you haven't heard abou this massacre at all).\n\nAl-Qassam, along with other brigades, attacked a military point on the border of Gaza and captured an Israeli soldier from the site. Such an attacked is very justified considering the daily attacks of Israeli on Palestinian cities by tanks and air fighters, killing and injuring hundreds every month, if you are in the United States or in Europre then most likely you won't receive any news about these attacks as it the media duty their not to disturb your peace with such bloody news! If you don't believe me on this you can conduct your own research on who owns and runs the American media (including Fox news) and their political and ideological interests.\n\nIt is war, and inter-attacks on military forces from either sides should not be interfered by International law, specially when the one taking action this time are the people of the right, the Palestinians.\n\nThe Palestinian resistance groups captured an Israeli soldier, and what they asked for before they release him was to release around 500 women and children prisoners from the Israeli prisons. Is this too much to ask for? And has anyone asked themselves how did those go into prison at the first instance?! Israel justifies it by saying that even the children are terrorists!!! (And by the way, according to the Israeli law, a Palestinian is considered adult from age 16, so when we talk about children here we actually talk about les than 16)\n\nIn addition to those there are more than 12,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli Jails, some of them have been there for 30+ years many have been charged with hundreds-of-years sentences, just ridiculous!\n\nPalestinians would love to live in peace and take their kids to school and go to universities, but what would you say if you know that in average Palestinian stude

Actually, England gave them the land not America.\n\nI don't know the answer because half of the problems in the Mid East wouldn't be there if America didn't support Israel. Israel doesn't have oil so you would think the US would side with the Arabs..  \n\nIf you listen to all of the Israelis against the Palestinians, they usually have NY accents.\n\nHowever, I am not taking sides with either party because the Arabs treat the Bantu people in Chad and The Sudan badly and come over here with prejudices.

Th whole world is sensitive about the holocoust not just Israel. The horrific crimes commited against the Jews by the natzi party was evil and it saddens all..\n\n        A little lesson in history:\n\nIsrael became a nation about 1300 BCE, two thousand years before the rise of Islam. The people of modern day Israel share the same language and culture shaped by the Jewish heritage and religion passed through generations starting with the founding father Abraham. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.\n\nAfter the Romans conquered Jerusalem about 2,000 years ago, Jewish people were expelled and dispersed to the Diaspora, and the Land of Israel was ruled by Rome, by Islamic and Christian crusaders, by the Ottoman Empire, and by the British Empire.\n\nJews come from Judea, not Palestinians. There is no language known as Palestinian, or any Palestinian culture distinct from that of all the Arabs in the area. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians...\n\n For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem (1948-1967), they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit. \n\nIn the Jewish Bible, Jerusalem is mentioned over 669 times and Zion (which usually means Jerusalem, sometimes the Land of Israel) 154 times, or 823 times. The Christian Bible mentions Jerusalem 154 times and Zion 7 times. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran. Jerusalem is also not mentioned in the Palestinian Covenant. \n\nKing David established the city of Jerusalem as the capital of the whole Land of Israel. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem. \n\n   The Arab nations initiated four wars against Israel:\n\n1948 War of Independence \n1956 Sinai War \n1967 Six Day War \n1973 Yom Kippur War \nIsrael defended itself each time and won. After each war Israeli army withdrew from most of the areas it captured (see maps). (see Camp-David Accords). This is unprecedented in World history and shows Israel's willingness to reach peace even at the risk of fighting for its very existence each time anew.\n\n The Palestinians have made no effort for peace, Still they terrorize with their suicide bombers. They were give more land and it still isnt enough..I have come to the conclusion that they just enjoy violence and they in no way want peace..I look upon the actions of the palestinians with saddness because I think they have the same intentions as Adolph Hilter..

Palestine was actually the home place of the Jews. But after many invasions they were driven out of their place and they migrated to many places.Finally it came under the control of the Ottoman empire.In 1880's the Palestinians in Europe decided to reclaim their homeplace. However during that time 95 percent of the population was Muslim( supported by the Arabs) and very few Christians and Jews. In 1917 the British took control of the place and gave contradictory assurances to both the parties. However during the world war (2 i think) the Palestinians started immigrating illegally into Palestine and their popu in Palestine was significant. The British proposed a division which was rejected by both and since then started the conflict

yes i think ppl should just realise that the palistinians are not gonna lay down and be walked over, the jews will never be able to settle there esp since its them creating reasons and promting the palistinians to fight back
