Thank you.... most of the points you made are just and valid..........
I did not ... (since I'm not a US citizen and this is a touchy subject)... want to be the first to point out that it was NOT a UN decision to create the Israeli state .... ( Thank you Dan for posting that fact up first, I've been itching to say it but am too new to this board for me to get away with it).
Israel was created by the United States and The United States alone without consultation with anyone else ( See Dans post).
The United nations had the impotent task of granting it some form of legal cover afterwards .... it was that or offend the most poerfuil member it had.
The entire muslim world knows that the US created ISrael... UN cover doesn't wash.
For the record... I belive your president made the right decision...
But............if we don't awknowledge that that decision cost the Palestinians everything they had... and seek some just way of recompensing them... .. then we ( the "west")... will finally and forever lose all moral authority in the rest of the world.
