Ben Gurion, founder of Israel, admits having stolen land from Arabs and that’s there’s no reason for arabs to make peace. See more of his behaviour on this article

This is an important Wikipedia article about the founder of Israel, Ben Gurion, and his goals and planning for ethnic cleansing

Ben Gurion reported to another Zionist (Nahum Goldmann, founder of World Jewish Congress): “Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, it’s true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?”

    I posted the source on the last line, with a link to the book if you didn’t see.

    This is news which relates to the US, as the US is spelling bombs to Israel

      By definition, news is something happening now. If you had posted an article about the US selling bombs to Israel, I would have no complaints. But that isn’t what you did. You posted a link to David Ben Gurion’s Wikipedia entry and a link to a book from 46 years ago, neither of which fit the definition of news.

      A better approach would be to post a recent and topical article, something that fits the definition of news. Then, comment on that post adding your commentary.
