“This Arab population is permanent”—another lie. Majority of the Arabs came in to expel the Jews.

There was no continuous Jewish population in Palestine after their exile by the Romans. The Arabs pre-date the present Jewish population. Nor has there been an influx of Arabs since 1948. This has only happened with Jewish immigration.

It must be irritating but the Arab population of Palestine (I only use this as geographical term since Israel only refers to the modern state) is not going anywhere.

False argument. Maybe you ought to study the history of the Crusades, too? or how about the 1948 war, when there was an influx of Arabs from Egypt and Arabia, not an uprising of extant Arabs? Were you aware that “pan-Arabism” was inspired by “pan-Germanism”?

“Palestine” is an illegitimate geographical term. It is Israel. The Arabs in the area were indeed going somewhere, namely back where they came from—that is until Carter convinced Israel to stop fighting for their rights.

Yes, there was.

Many Jews moved out but many Jews remained. The idea that the land of Israel was juden frei is simply not accurate.

"Palestine" is a name derived from the Philistines and given to the land by the Romans. It was never known as "Palestine" until that time. Anti-Israel Catholics should at least have the basic decency to apply "Canaan" as a "neutral" name, but they seem addicted to the Roman name for some reason.

Israel was the name of the Land before the present State ever existed. It has Divinely-defined Halakhic boundaries.

But you insist on ignoring G-d and making purely secular arguments here, so there's no need in continuing to respond to you.
