The Tragedy of 1948

the tragedy of 1948 Israel declared statehood the west was happy the Jews had suffered much and deserved a state the fact that 700 thousand Palestinians lost their homeland was overlooked. We were all pro- Israel back then and thought the region would usher in peace and prosperity. It was not to be. Instead, we see that the land of promise has turned violent wanting all of Palestine and part of Syria and Jordan too, they appear unstoppable. The only group holding them back a little is the Hezbollah who we call a terrorist, but they are a bulwark the brutal regime in Israel who has nothing to offer but a war against anyone opposing their quest for total power. But the Palestinians are not forgotten the scale fell from our eyes, we see what is happening. Israel as a state should be boycotted, we in the west should treat the country as an abomination it is. By curtailing Israel, we will, in the long run, help its survival. Force it back to the agreed borders, declare Palestine a sovereign state, and send NATO troops to secure the perimeter of Palestine and give financial help to her malign people.
