[Ethan Clive Osgoode]

I say send the Arab Muslims (wrongly called “Palestinians”) back to their homelands in Egypt and Jordan.

You really think there were no people living in Palestine when eastern european jews began arriving there? What about the Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem which existed since the first century? What were they doing there if there were no people?

[MuttTheHoople]

Read Mark Twain's Innocents Abroad. He went there in the late 1870's, and Palestine was a wasteland, a backwater of the Ottoman Empire.

It was when Zionists began populating the land, creating farms, building buildings (all with the blessings of the Ottoman Empire), was when that part of the world became important.
