You guys like to talk about the formation of Israel as if it was simply an agenda item at the end of WWII. The issue has a history that goes back hundreds of years. The Irgun bunch was around for, what, maybe 20 years? Bringing them up in this context is like suggesting that Al Qaeda is in control of the acts and foreign policy of all Muslims. It doesn't wash.

Not necessarily. It is undeniably true that Israel has existed for a very long time. And the area never really was completely void of a Jewish population. But to deny that after the second world war that a mass exodus took place, largely facilitated and protected by western European governments and the U.S. Government is faux pas. Would the state of Israel, as we have known it since 1948, exist if not for that? Maybe. But, I for one doubt it.
