The Palestinians are descendents of the Phoenicians that occupied Israeli land in ancient times and were finally defeated in the 1940's. They are on Israeli land, and have no rights whatsoever. Somewhere in the Old Testament, it says that the land of Israel is bordered by the Nile in the West and the Euphrates in the East. So, it is not the Israelis that are on Arab land; quite the contrary. Besides, even if the Israelis have committed wrongs, the Muslims have done exponentially more evil, as these "peaceable" Muslims seem so capable of doing. I have no sympathy for them at all. If they really wanted freedom, there are many Arab countries they could go to live, and prosper in their Islamic paradises. If they insist on trying to push Israel into the sea, good luck. You're going to need all the luck you can, just to keep YOUR people from being pushed into the Mediterranean.....
Yea, and the old testament tells us "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", but, the new testament tells us to "turn the other cheek". Time to progress from the old testament, i think. Thats what Jesus wanted us to do, was it not?.
When will you people learn to stop generalising and face facts. Take a Palestinian off the street on the west bank, and my betting is that his bloodline would not be pure Palestinian, there would be many twists and turns to his ancestry. I'm British, but my only British family are my siblings and my Father. My Mother is Irish, My Fathers Grandfather was an American from Philadelphia, whos own Father(whos wife - my great greatGrandmother - was Spanish) emigrated from Ireland, so, my bloodline would suggest that i'm a bit of a mongrel. My point- There is no way that you can put your hand on your heart and say that these Palestinian people are the descendants of a race of people 3-4000yrs ago, the old testament doesn't cater for what has happened since it was written I'm afraid.
