| Sorry Lir, but your rant against the Jewish state isn't going to win you any friends. It just demonstrates that you are unqualified to work on an article that make you epxlode in anti-Semitic rage. In any case, this topic ''already is discussed in many articles''. When you and your peers keep trying to add this exact same topic to yet more articles, it becomes clear that you are just trying to stir up hatred against those in Israel, and against those who support its right to exist.

- coupled with improved prospects for the Middle East peace process, are creating a climate for stronger GDP growth in the year 2000.
CIA was dead wrong here (that's not their first time, see their Poland entry). Somebody should fix this sentence asap. --Taw
- (in which it's very existence was threatened)
Excised. This is hardly an NPOV comment; looks more as though it's in there to be provocative.
I am removing the following anti-Israeli - and false claim, from the entry. The claim states "It was born by major ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians from their homes in the mid 20th-century."
First off, many people would say that this is patently untrue. There is much historical evidence, including public admission by a huge number of Arab leaders, that the exodus of Arabs from the British Mandate of Palestine was due to the Arab themselves, who publicly called for all Arabs to leave Israel, so that the Arab armies could come in and destroy the State of Israel. Secondly, this polemical comment doesn't mention that Arab states did the same thing of their Jewish citizens, attacking them, killing them, and driving them out by the tens of thousands. Even the PLO and the Palestinian Authority have now signed agreements that any future peace accords must take into account the huge number of Jewish refugees. RK
Finally, even assuming that you claim is partially true, this is a complex issue that needs to be discussed in a calm and neutral point of view (NPOV) fashion. You are merely inserting a biased anti-Israeli polemic into an article which has nothing at all to do with that particular topic. This is inappropriate behaviour in the Misplaced Pages community. You need to read up more on the entries on NPOV, and you absolutely must read the already extant articles on this issue: You appear totally unaware that your claims and related isues are already are discussed in great detail, both in Misplaced Pages entries on Israel, Palestine, and in their associated Talk pages. There is no need to start a flame war by starting the entire thing all over again in yet another article. This topic already is discussed in more than place. If you must, work on this topic in those appropriate and already-existing articles. RK
actually-you people are the POV junkies. Yes, the statement was POV but rather than NPOV it, you all decided to delete it... DUH'
