You mean the ones who voluntarily left, in hopes of seizing the property of their Jewish neighbors after the Arab armies drove the Jews into the sea? Those people?

You are being pathetically naive!
And we simply moved in peaceful with the Indians. But the land they were giving us poor white folk fleeing the oppression of Britian, France and Spain was actually being stolen, or attempted to be stolen back by the indians and that is why we simply fought them for what they initially gave us and happened to win.
Oh righteous us!

Your race and religion blinds you. I cannot believe actual thinking adults believed that 800,000 jews just walked into empty lands and empty homes peacfully. How about the Arabs "voluntarily" lefty because they were backed by Britian and the UN, who had just won a world war, and the decimated Palestinians had no resources to defend themselves AND homes??!!

So they tried to avoid conflict, moved out "voluntarily" until they could get the resources necessary to fight a war for THEIR HOMELAND later on.
But the money of Britian and the US was too much for a people impoverished and deprived by their own belief system.

Either way, Israel is no princess.

Nor does she have a mandate.

God Bless,
Nate

Sorry Nate, I just can't agree.

There was no "Palestinian homeland" that they are fighting for. There was no "Palestine" taken by the Jews. The majority of "Palestinians" in Israel today are an ethnic minority discriminated against by the neighboring states who have pushed them into Israel to cause the problem in the first place. Most of them are not descended from people who lived in Israel at all. They lived in Jordan and got pushed out.

I'd suggest, rather, that you are being blinded by your preterist, supercessionist theology.

You could say that. But you would be wrong. Historically and factually in error.

Nice attempt to rewrite history, though.
