Hmm, care to defend this one? This is going to ruffle some feathers methinks....
O.K, well I think that the Israeli agression against Palestine, makes them worthy of such status, if in the middle-east alone. I'll have to backtrack on them being part of a global axis, that was wrong, and on that same card so is Palestine/PLO
I think that Israeli actions in the area are overlooked. It seems to me that blame for the middle east problems are always on the palestinians, but it truly does 'take two to tango'.
Quite frankly, it is the Muslim's problem. I've said this in the past, but in the original agreement Transjordan was going to go to the Muslims and Palestine to the Jews (1920, League of Nations). However, this never happened. When the Israeli state was finally established in 1948, hundreds of thousands Jews moved in, not ONLY from Europe, but they were sent
against their will to leave their homes in the middle east including Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, even as far as Morrocco. Several times, Arabs tried to invade Israel, and Israel still stood firm and took more land.
The middle east is a boiling cauldron of problems, where whenever a westernized people are there (American, Turkish, or Israeli), they are treated harshly.
