Do you support Israel?

I know this is a heated topic for many. I have just been watching some history videos about the creation of Israel and the current issues.

Was Palestine ever a real Arab Nation? Is an 'Arab' Nation not intrinsically racist?

Well, you asked two questions:
1) Was Palestine ever a real Arab Nation? [b]No, it was not. The historic "Palestine" is the modern day Jordan.[/b]
2) Is an 'Arab' Nation not intrinsically racist? [b]No more or less so than a "Jewish State" is.[/b]

The followup question to your question #2 is: Is that necessarily a bad thing? Japan is very homogeneous. So are China and Korea. Not every country is a melting pot. Should they be? Is it wrong to not be? I don't know the answer.

I agree with all your points. I do not think that a homogeneous state is wrong so long as it is not enforced at the expensive of human rights or with ongoing systematic racial discrimination.

To the best of my knowledge Israel is not guilty of that and their opposition is.

@MarsSword: True. In Israel, human rights are far more protected than under the PA.

@silmarilion456: So then why don't the Jordanians and the Syrians and even the Lebanese allow the Palestinians in? Ethically, religiously, & culturally these are all the same people. Prior to the artificial lines being drawn in the sand sixty years ago, these were all nomadic tribes living and mingling throughout the area. There is no historic group or culture known as "Palestinian."
