Do you mean to tell me that no person of Arab descent had a permanent residence with fixed walls and a roof in Palestine prior to 1960?
Palestinians (nor Jordanians, Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese) are Arabs.. There are three main ethnicity in the ME, Persian, Arab and Semitic.. Palestinians are Semites.. The irony being, so are the "original" Jews.
The region being named Palestine originates from Emperor Hadrian loosing a war to the Jews, he returned home and under threat of death had every map maker change the name from Judea to Palestine. If you erase the name from the World, the people would forget who they were. Surprisingly it worked rather well.. Under every empire since then (66ad) there has never been an official Palestinian state, not even under Ottoman rule.. Litterally every ME country is the result of Britain drawing lines in the sand and declaring them national boundaries.. this results in ethnicity being boxed in together when they would never have otherwise been in that situation .. much like the issue with Palestinians, or the Kurds, or the Shiite / Sunni mix in Iraq.. abnormalities as a result from imperialism.

Zionism is real my friend and they are a collection of many different people with an agenda that has nothing to do with the religion of Judiasm.
Right. Just say what you mean, that's all I am saying.. you mean "Jew" .. you hide behind "Zionist" just like every other bigot who spouts on about the "Zionist" movement. Israel for the most part is a modern secular society.

Actually i'm pretty sure it had to do with the phillistines!
It is a circular logic that just ignores the fact that before 1946 there was never any nation of Israel, and that no one in 1946 had ever lived in a nation of Israel or had one legal claim to the land of Palestine.
I haven't stolen anyone's land my friend, I certainly haven't stolen anything that I had a thousand different excuses hatched from every thing to G-d said it was alright to everyone else hates me so it's ok excuses for it.
EVERY HUMAN LIVES ON STOLEN LAND. I am currently living on land that was once occupied by Native Americans, which were persecuted, killed, and pushed out of the way for expansion. EVERY ethnic group has a mythical "home land" where as in reality we are nothing but a collective hybrid species clinging to romantic past legends. You cannot point to a people on this planet that live in a land exclusively their for all of history.. Israel pushing Palestinians off their land is just another footnote in history, Palestinians can join the ranks of thousands of ethnicity's in Diaspora. You can call it theft, conquest, some proclaimed divine rights, what ever you want to call it it's nothing more than the natural progression of Humanity.

Ah .. so Israel should rent the land from Palestinians.. That would make it better.
So which Tribe do you rent from? .. and which Tribe existed before that Tribe? Which Tribe killed off which Tribe to have the land they currently have? Or were they transplanted there, not from that region at all but given lands that once belonged to another Tribe? We say "Native American" and think all the lands belonged to a singular People, when the land was divided and riddled with warfare..
Rent or not, you and everyone else in all likelihood lives on '"stolen" land..
Yes at the very least the Zionists should compensate the Palestinians for being displaced after all the actual Jews set a precedent for damages of being forcibly moved in the Holocaust by European Regimes.
What kind of world would grant restitution for one group and then excuse them from having to pay restitution for a similiar act of lawlesness?

I don't disagree that the ISRAELI'S should pay restitution to Palestinians, unless of course Palestinians are granted Israeli citizenship (which will never happen). However, you desire "Zionist" to pay these restitution's, ?
Lawlesness? .. You have a lot to learn about International Politics.. There is no such thing as International Law. This is a view for the ignorant.

This is your brain, this is your brain on lies and propoganda.
How many Jews, Zionists, Christians, or Athiests living in post 1946 Palestine today ever personally lived in a biblical land named Israel?
How many of them had any deeds, or proof of ownership passed down to them from their ancestors?
It's a number between 0 and 0.
Who did live there and could claim and prove ownership?
The Palestinians...
What happened, the Zionists stole their land and kicked them out.
Repeat the Zionists stole their land and kicked them out.
What ever warped sense of logic you employ that makes that justifiable for what ever warped G-d, Religion, Government or Agenda your frail and utterly useless and cluttered minds want to employ to justify that theft, a theft is a theft and a theif is a theif.
Period.
Jordan is not Palestine, Syria is not Palestine, Lebanon is not Palestine, Egypt is not Palestine, none of these countries should have to bear the burden of Zionists thefts simply because it's convenient to the Zionists.
That some do from a humanitarian standpoint is something many posters are simply unable to understand because it is humane and humanity is a foreign concept to their bigotted and convoluted minds.
No wonder we now live in a nation where the citizens become responsible for bailing out the banks, someone else is always supposed to be responsible for the theives and give them a free pass.
The Zionists stole the land.
Facts are facts, and if you are having trouble with the facts I refer you back to my first two questions at the opening.
The fact that some people condone theft when it serves them well doesn't make it not theft, the fact that theives are lovable and admirable to people does not make it not theft.
Beware though, when you sleep with dogs you are bound to get fleas.

Erm.. that makes no sense what so ever.
For a law to be a law, an entity must establish said law then provide repercussions for said law as well as the enforcement of said law.. No body governs the Nations, so no Law governs the Nations, only dominance of eco/political influence.. Maritime Law is only enforceable per state that decides to enforce or abide, as no international boat police are going to chase you down and take you international pirate jail.
