It is their land. So they have people that are equivalent to our intelligence agencies. So what? I am quite familiar with the history of Israel, and I don't buy all of the BS spewed out by Palestinian propaganda mouthpieces. Plus, when there are Islamic terrorists causing problems all over the world, then, yeah, i am going to talk about them.

So, you are all for attacking a sovereign nation, if someone decides they hate those people, and that said people don't have a right to live? Nice attitude....not.

Scripture works for me. Islam is not as old as Judaism. The land is the Jews.
But like Is aid before, land rights is a faulty concept. The reality is that land is owned by those that have the arms to keep it. Israel does. Sucks to be you.edit on 24-12-2012 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)

The problem is that the Qur'an teaches that Ishmael was the child of promise (Sura 19:54; compare Sura 37:83-109 with Genesis 22:1-19) and so Muslims believe that God's covenant promises were meant for Ishmael's descendants, not Isaac's. Muhammad descended from Ishmael and so Muslims seek to lay claim to these covenant promises, namely the land of Palestine. Since Israel's U.N.-sanctioned return to Palestine in 1948 there has been unceasing hostility between Israel and her Arab neighbors, with major armed conflicts in 1948-49, 1956, 1967, 1973-74, and 1982. That Israel remains today is a miracle in-and-of itself.

Personally I'd rather Israel have Jerusalem, at least they'd develope it and make it safer for tourists. Islam already has plenty of "holy" sites as it is.

Probably because I don't recall the Jews blocking out other people.
They get a lot of money from tourism.

Can you point out any nations that are not out for themselves? Many countries historically have ignored UN resolutions. This is not the first time and it certainly will not be the last.

The Jews owned Jerusalem before anyone.
Palistine has never been a state. Ever.
