Israel
Israel: A nation founded on terrorism and maintained by oppression.
That's a pretty bold statement, but true nonetheless.
In 1947, amid an Israeli terrorism campaign, pulled out of Palestine. One of the most prolific attacks mounted during this campaign was the attack on the King David Hotel. 15-20 Irgun terrorists (a Jewish terror organisation) blew up the wing of the Hotel where the British administration was based, killing 91 British Civilians. So, that shows founded on terrorism.
The oppression part is easy: The wall around Israel, the constant mistreatment of the Palestinians, and, most importantly of all, the illegal occupation of Palestine.
Now, this shows a discrepancy in Western Foriegn Policy. In all other cases of invasion in the twentieth century, the West has condemned, and sometuimes intervened in, them. From The German occupation of Belgium in 1914, through to Hitler's campaigns, until the First Gulf War and Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, the West has done something. But not in Palestine. And why not? Because America, being hipocritical, chooses not to attack Jews. It's all very well when Arabs invade other countries and America gives support to those countries being invaded. It's all very well when Communism invades somewhere far away. But when Israel invades somewhere, America leaves well alone. Another example of American hipocrisy is that Israel has not signed the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty, only countries that have signed it are permitted to have nuclear weapons), however, Israel is known to possess nuclear weapons. When other countries might, possibly, maybe, have nuclear weapons, America complains. But not with Israel. What does this suggest about America?
