    Palestine

    Can't they all clear off and let Israel get on with it?

    They are such a pain and always in the way of progress.

    Blimin nuisance them living there, right in the way.

    They can come to Britain. After all, didn't we put them there in the first place?

        You have a completely mistaken idea of British power post WW2, don't you?

          Shhh. We can't fit the North Koreans! (would be good for BTL flats though)

            Okay, it was the UN that split Korea into two.

            Russians took the North and Americans took the south.

            Why did they do this? The country had been a single country for 100's of years.

              The local village where I live is being threatened by the intended construction of a new gravel pit, which will border on an area protected by the Wildlife Trust and the National Trust.

              I haven't, as of yet, seen any Israeli or Palestinian protestors helping out with the local campaign.

              I suppose, in all fairness, they'd probably say "we have our own problems to deal with. Who are we to stick our noses in your business ? Your problems are of no interest to us".

              Quite.

              The feeling is mutual.
              Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                Because the Korean war ended in a stalemate.
                The UN (i.e US) couldn't beat the communists and the commie Koreans (backed by China) couldn't beat the UN. So they decided to share the Korean peninsula.

                  No Korea was split by the UN after WWII. The Korean war happened after the split.

                    Oh you mean the original partition after WW2. That was because the Russians had their Northern sphere and the Americans the South and neither wanted to piss the other off. Similar to Eastern and Western Europe.
