You want evidence that a Jewish state is necessary? Look no further than European History. The Russians and their Pale where they bascially imprisoned all Russian Jews for over a century. The Polish and their Ghettos and Pogroms which murder upwards of hundreds of thousand Jews. Then the Nazis and the Holocaust. The British and the internment of the survivors of the Holocaust. Plus, all European countries with the except of Denmark and Sweden have always had a very subtle anti-semitism within their own cultures. Go learn some of the history of the Jewish people because being Jewish is more than just a Religion. It's cultural and ethnic.

Israel and the Jews has no historic record of having more right over that land than anyone else. The old testament isn't worth a penny as a source for history.

Again go learn some history. Fuck the Old Testament. However, the ancient Hebrews civilization has been uncovered by many archeologists over the last few centuries which I think is enough proof thqat they lived in Israel (known as Caanan back in the day) for at least 2 thousand years before Christ minimum.
And another thing: You can't put one religion above others and say that this people deserve this land more than others, and then push those who live there aside for the jews to settle down..?
The only reason the Jews left Israel in the first place is because the Roman Empire forced them out in the great Diaspora and Jews have been trying to move back ever since.

defends Israel at any costs, careless of what the rest of the world thinks.

Because the US now has the worlds largest Jewish population and the American Jews are very good at lobbying the government. It honestly doesn't surprise me that Europe in general has always been against Israel, especially when you consider that outside Israel and the US their are only about 1 million Jews currently residing in Europe.
