I hardly consider myself the ignorant party in this discussion. Insults aside; it was your intention to raise sympathy and have people look away from Israeli terror actions by posting that image, that much was clear. Its justification. Two wrongs does make a right etc.

I mean in the sense that the borders were drawn back when nobody cared (or, no-one was expected to care); what does it matter if you're in this part of the Soviet Union or that part of the Soviet Union?

That said, a fair bit of border-drawing should have been done as part of the negotiations that led to the dissolution of the union, to fix problems of Russian minorities in Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, and Moldova, the Abkhazia/Ossetia question, Russians in Kazakhstan, and Nagorno-Karabakh.

Jerusalem for a large portion of its history has not been Jewish, but majority Muslim. Several of the holiest Muslim sites also exist in Jerusalem.

I think having either state have complete control over the Temple Mount and the adjacent holy sites (Al-Aqsa, Dome of the Rock, Wailing Wall) is a recipe for disaster actually and some sort of communual control over them is required.

However East Jerusalem as a city is largely Muslim in populace and is internationally recognised as not being part of Israel.

Perhaps an international city is a solution to the Jerusalem question, but in my opinion it is either that or the city being divided into two. There simply isn't going to be a long term peace that involves Israel having Jerusalem as its undivided capital.

Eh, it's less "Fair Share" more "The US supports Israel."

If the US didn't support Israel... like say this exact situation happened elsewhere, practically no country would support Palestine because they would see it as a legitamization of "seperatists".  It's the same reason countries like... Spain don't recognize Kosovo.

Most of the world supports Palsestine because the United States supports Israel, there is in general a large alliance of countries that vote the opposite of the US  on every measure from Israel to global kitten appreciation day.

Now Europe.  Europe's backing off of Israel is actually a pretty interesting long term political development that began with a strange marriage of the Europeon Leftwing(more radical aprts) and Muslim Immigrants.  The Leftwing pretty much ignoring some of the more problematic issues from the immigration such as woman's rights for the voter support.

Lets say you live in the USA and then someone just gives 50% of the territory to russia or china. And then russians or chinese force you out of the rest of the 50%.  I  doubt you would be happy.

it was pretty clear even to the person i posted the image to, that my problem was making comparisons between the this situation and that of the holocaust.   do you know why?   probably not...for reasons i stated already.   

To say that other countries are no longer supporting Israel "because the US does" is a very illogical, ignorant, and borderline insulting stance. To say this is to denounce the foreign policy of said established states, which I seriously doubt would be to just "be against the United States".

Use a bit of Occam's Razor here. Why would Israel, formally in huge support, be losing support? Because the actions they take each time become more and more extreme, and conflict with more foreign policies of said states. To say that states' motive is to be against the US is saying that these states are too stupid to develop any foreign policy.

The same could be said about the United States. After all, look how they became a state.

"they arent a state so it doesnt matter if someone or a group of people says they are.  ( they do not have the function, form or capabilities of a state.  they do not and cannot meet the criteria for a state without a resolution with England.   if they acted like adults then all the pressure would be on England to concede to a reasonable settlement.   when they behave like menaces then the focus will always be on their own improvement)"
