Each and every time

any country or organisation or even any party

wanting to have recognition and acceptance

within, and from the Western-world,

it is asked ........." to recognise Israel."

Even Spain and Greece were asked to do it

before being allowed entrance to the European Union.

All the East-European-countries did it also

as a precondition to entering the same EU.

Anwar el Saddat did it the hard way

King Hussein of Jordan did it also

before getting even richer .....

Fine with me , one is also free

to recognise the Devil or even AIDS

as ,equally, one is free not to recognise

anything or anyone.

But when it comes to recognising

the State of Israel , there comes

attached to it  "the right to exist"

I for example , fear and recognise AIDS

but not it right to exist.....

Besides this philosophic argument,

there is another practical and fundamental question :

Where is Israel ? where does it start

and where does it stop ?????

what and where are its borders ??

because there are a multitude of border-lines

1947 -1948- 1956- 1967- 1973- 1978

1982 -2002.....plus the ever growing size

of those illegal settlements.

If you rewind history , you will soon

find out that there never was a State

nor a Kingdom called Israel.

There were indeed some Jewish-Kings ruling

the Land of Canaan temporarily and with intervals.
 

While the land was never exclusively inhabited by Jews.

 

A cumulative addition of the periods with a Jewish-King

come to a total of 170 years only

while the Greeks and the Roman-Byzantines

ruled it longer than that........each seperatly

and the Ottomans even longer

and the European-Crusaders stayed 93 years

in Jerusalem and 200 outside Jerusalem .

So if you want to consider a piece of land

with a Jewish King as being a Jewish-land

then even then the Jews were minoritarian

in the chronology of History.

If you want to count history by the

presence or the abscence of any Religion

then Judaism was the shortest-period of all.

Back to any Jewish-state ,to be known as "Israel"

I would place it in Khazaria,

which was Jewish populated with a Jewish ruler

for a period of 400 years and non-stop too.

Also Yemen has had a Jewish King (or kings)

Even Damascus has had once a Jewish ruler..

So next time the White-House or European-Union

or the Devil,himself, asks you to recognise "Israel"

aske them to draw you the Map-of-Israel

and keep a copy for the later refences.....

 PS:

Incidentaly,

until 2004 Gazza was part of this State

in 2005 it stopped

and in 2009 obviously it is , again.

South Lebanon from 1978 up to 2000

was ruled by Jews......
