Post; the Middle East Conflict: Which side is the agressor?

SHERMAN · September 22nd, 2004

This topic is the result of the "Iran and nukes" Discussion. Israel's nukes were compared to future Iranian capablities. It was also hinted that Israel is an agressive nation. I want to comment, and I will aprciate a good discussion, especially people who disagree with me and want to prove me wrong(in a respectful way please).

Alright let me start by the first and most important claim to Israel being the defnsive side in this conflict:
In 1948 the Jews expeted the UN partition plan, the arabs did not. This caused the war of independence.IMHO This makes the arab side the starter of violence in the Israeli-Arab conflict.
