You are kidding, correct?

It is FACT that the Jews occupied the lands of Israel for a thousand years before Islam even existed.

It is also a fact that while that area has been referred to on a few maps as Palestine, it has never, EVER been a recognized country, not even by their so-called friends, the Saudis, Iranians and Iraqis.

And the Indians were on our land a thousand years before us. That is fact also. So should we let the UN come to one of our states (or regions since it's been pointed out that there was no panestinian state) and kick us out of our homes and hand the property over to the indians?

That the territory wasn't established as a recognized country mean that the inhabitants were squaters just waiting to be relocated a little further East including forfeiture of all property claims?

No, that "whose distant, distant, distant ancestors have the better claim?" stuff just won't do it.

The problem with the 'moral equivalence' folks is that the Israelis try (so far as I can tell) to focus on those dirtbags causing the problem, while the Palestinians seek out innocents at pizza parlors and the like. I carry no water for the people who self-identify as Jews. I am not going to make a title search to that land. The Brits probably made a mistake putting them into the middle of Arab land in 1919. But no one else wanted to take them -- and here's a flash --they're there and have been for 80 years.

And I am sorry but I cannot sympathize with suicide bombers who seek out kids and civilians. I am with the Jews now. Let them off the leash. Last one standing gets the land.
