It's been a while since I have seen a post which is totally wrong.
Ignorance might have been a great excuse 7 months ago, but there has been enough time to have picked up even the most rudimentary facts about "Palestine".
Israel's creation began long before their persecution in Europe. Most of the private land in Israel was purchased between 1880 and 1947.
The remainder was lost by the Ottoman Empire when they picked the wrong allies in World War I.
Notice that the Turkish Empire has not made any claims.
The 400,000 Muslims who left Israel during the war of creation left voluntarily in the hope that Israel would be destroyed before she was established.
Any of those 400,000 who might still be alive might have a legitimate claim to return, provided that they pledge allegiance to a Jewish State and its laws.
Not a single other arab has a claim.
Your comparison couldn't be farther off if an Arab invented it.
Yes, the Arab Muslims have been pissed off since 1948, but not because they got kicked off their land, but because they failed to kick the Israelis off theirs.
Losers don't get to make decisions 54 years later.
One more time... Nobody got kicked out of their homes. The left voluntarily.
But let's ignore that.
If you are saying that the world, through the UN had no authority to determine the creation of nations, certainly you would argue the same about tht League of Nations and various mandates by the French and the British.
So we should erase Syria, Lebanon and Jordan too?
And give it to whom?
Same reason that the Muslim Mass Murderers think killing innocent civilians is not murder.
They live in a parallel universe.
I for one will be GLAD, when he is finally in the past.
Are you sure about that? Would you like to have a conversation?
There has ALWAYS been a Jewish presence in the area, albeit a small one. And aside from that, do you have any idea how sparsely populated it was by Arabs (so-called Palestinians) for centuries? Have you read any eye-witness accounts circa turn of the century? Samuel L Clemens basically called Jerusalem a deserted dump in which animals weren't fit to live. It was populated mostly by Bedouins. The "Palestinians" didn't care about it until they thought they would lose it to the Jews.
"Palestine" during Turkish control consisted of what now is Jordan as well as Israel. After Britain gained control, they released the Balfour Declaration, which promised the Jews a homeland in Palestine. The British also created - yes created - half the countries in the middle east by dolling out parcels of land to various Arab royals. They split Palestine into two parts - an Arab state and a Jewish state. The Arab state became Transjordan, later Jordan, and the rest (less that one tenth of one percent of the entire Arab world) was to become a Jewish state.
I'll not even go into all the roadblocks and broken promises instigated by the British in response to the protests of the Arabs, who never did want Israel to exist (and still don't - they make that clear daily), but let's sum up by saying that the protests of the Arabs eventually caused the UN to partition the Jewish mandate in the most ridiculous checkerboard fashion, forcing the Jews to lose Jerusalem as their capital. But the Jews, although very disappointed, signed onto the plan anyway. And guess what - the Arabs didn't. They insisted on all the land, attacking Israel the minute she declared independence.
Less than one tenth of one percent. A scrap the size of NJ. But they shouldn't be allowed to have that either right? And at the very least, they should allow millions and millions of "Palestinians" to return to their "native" land. Sounds fair, doesn't it.
Don't even get me started on the "refugee problem." Sorry - I'm a bit fired up over the latest count - 19 dead and 140+ injured.
No.
Patently untrue.
There's a little unwritten rule here on FR. If you choose to take a stance, you'd better darned well research it and know what the hell you're talking about before you post it on a Forum read by many hundreds of thousands of people every day.
You just flunked.

Well, certainly not "palestine".
It was part of the Turkish Empire, and a small part of the total was under private ownership. Not a country, at the time it was called an "Administrative Region" of the Turkish Empire.

I hope Sharon gets it right this time |
The truth is the suicide maniacs are being created by those who want to destroy Israel, and they are taught hate at such an early age. It's called Jihad for kids. Hell, if you take a 6 year old kid and brainwash that kid, chances are you would be able to get him to do whatever you want later in his life. That is exactly what these arabs are doing. Breeding hate, and breeding suicide bombers.
As far as "their" land being occupied, they shouldn't have attacked Israel in the first place, huh? Nothing wrong with taking land when your country is attacked like Israel was.
