   I hit "send" prematurely.  So to continue:   
      
   The UN defined borders in 1947; Israel agreed to them, but the Arab   
   community rejected them.  As a result of that rejection, there were no   
   legally established borders.  The UK therefore announced its intention to   
   unilaterally withdraw from Palestine by May 15, 1948.  On May 14, the   
   Jewish community in Palestine declared the independence of Israel.   
   Immediately after that, five Arab nations invaded Israel, and started 1948   
   Arab-Israeli War.

   I don't hate the UN, but I recognize where politics overcame reason in some   
   of its votes.

   No, you support their bullshit lies.  They're the ones who want to continue   
   fighting; they rebelled against the PLO when the PLO and Israel was coming   
   to a negotiated peace.   
      
   Your attitude towards Jews is about the same as Fraudman's and Sarah's   
   attitude towards Mexicans, Muslims, and Arabs.
