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?

You bring up a good point. You see, the Indians fought back against the colonists. And they lost. I am not saying that I agree with how it happened, but that is reality, the colonists won, they lost.

So how does this relate to the Israeli situation (as you appear to be trying to stear it away from that in bringing this up...)

Well, since the Jews, many of which were already living in the geographical region sometimes refered to as Palestine, were able to form an actual government, build infrastructure, and create a fledgling democracy in a sea of sheiks and dictators, more power to them. If the land is so-called Palestinian land, why did they not form a government, or build any infrastructure to support a population on this sacred land of theirs? Why is there no historical record in any forum of a Nation of Palestine? Why did even their neighbours cast them out and why to this day do they slum in refugee camps in Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan? Why do their brothers not take these blessed people in? You see, like the Indians, they were not organized, skilled, disciplined or wise. They were too busy killing each other off to notice that the land they had tried run the Jews off of for over a thousand years in the name of Allah was being taken back from their wretched hands.

Funny how their neighbours didn't give two flying squirrels about 'Palestine' until it suits their needs. Oh, and I assume then that you will be signing over the deed of your house to the local casino, correct?

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?
