"The Palestinians usually refers to the people who had lived in the area which is now Israel (and surrounding area) for hundreds and hundreds of years."

First, I don't recall the inhabitants of the Holy Land before 1947 being called Palestinians. Second, who occupied the land before those so-called hundreds of years? If you want to use antiquity as a justification for possession of the land then the Jews trump you Palestinians by several thousand years. Third, I find you Palestinians to be particularly annoying in that you feel you have the right to take other peoples land but they don't have the right to take it back from you. That I believe is called hypocrisy; something you Arabs are very good at.

"You do realize that nation states are abstract constructs and not some God given right or entity."


Are you simply uninformed or deliberately ignorant? Go read Numbers 34, because God gave the land specified therein to Israel. In the case of Israel you are dead wrong in your assertation.

This is all I have to say to you since you and I obviously have no common moral ground from which to conduct a discourse. Perhaps someday we will meet on the battlefield.
