Should Israel exist?

I agree that Israel has the right to exist as much as Assyria (or some sort of Christian Arab homeland), because Assyria had a rich history during antiquity and some influence later on and Kurdistan, because the Kurds are still concentrated in Northern Iraq and South-Eastern Turkey.

The Jews are rich and powerful today in US society and they are certainly powerful enough to affect US policy on Israel. They certainly deserve to have a country of their own but it would be better if things could work out better on a fair basis. But the world is never fair. Whoever is stronger has a say on regional matters. The US could send troops to Iraq or Afganistan but President Bush has to have lunch conference with President Wu with smiles and business deals.

To me, both China and the US are great countries. The US should stay out of China because it means so much to all Chinese. China could on the other hand assist the US to fight the war on terrorism and agree with its policies as long as they are fair.

Yeah, exactly.  Israel is not necessary to America's foreign policy any longer, they must be cast off so better relations can be forged with the more influential and economically important Arabs.

How long did the Jewish massacre last for. Not very long. How long has the massacre agianst Assyrians lasted. More then 500 years till today.  In averge every 100 years Assyrians go through 1 genocide. In the last 500 years Assyrians have been massacured and still are by Arabs, Kurds, Turks and Persians.  In the 1850's more then 50 Million Assyrians were killed by Kurds alone. We are one of the oldest nationalitys in the world and yet we are so little.  We are older then Egyptions Indians and Chinese.  In 1915 the turks wipped out 2/3 of the Assyrian population. They would off killed more but the other 1/3 ran away.  Thousands off villiges were wiped out by the Turks and Kurds. What Kurds claim is the heart of Kurdistan belonged to assyrian who were killed by the turks.  Still today in Iraq we are being killed for our religion and ethnicity. We are denied our ethnicity in the middle east, istead we are called "Christian Kurds" or even "Christian Arabs".  Jews only went through one massacure for a short time and only 6 million died. That is nothing compared to how many assyrians have died.  Our history is greater then the jews, we have been around longer then the jews. The jews even origiinated from assyrians, Abraham left Ur of the Chaldeans. Chaldeans are Assyrians of Babylon. How is it that the jews get a country and Assyrians don't, even though assyrians have suffered more. One word can descripe it all "Money". Being cheap pays off.

Ahem...what part of Assyrian culture is still Assyrian? Do you guys study the Assyrian language, culture, history etc? Is the Assyrian language still in use?

Sorry if the questions are a bit imposing. But you claimed that Assyrians are older than Chinese, Egyptians and Indians. So I would like to see more proof on this.

So how did the Assyrian empire collapse? How did the Chaldeans overtook you guys and then only to be replaced by the Persians?

It is clear that the lands Assyria held onto are no longer Assyrians. It is very sad to see a once mighty Empire crumble into a small population throughout thousands of years of history who don't even have their own state and not even their own religion (I consider Christianity a foreign religion to the Assyrians). I'm sorry. But I'm uneducated and can only make uneducated comments.

why should any country or people be given back the land if it has been lost or taken from them some time ago, in my opinion israel is like if the american indians were handed back over the US because how the were treated and are still being treated  the us support of israel is the cause of anti-american sentiment through out the world
