So the Jews never lived in Israel?
They never had a kingdom there from 1000 BCE to 70 CE??
They werent expelled from the land by the Romans in 200 CE?
We have the history of the Jewish people from Josephus and Philo testifying to their rich history.. Why is it others deny their connection to the land? The Jewish diaspora has been characterized as an 'exile'. Wherever Jews have lived, they have longed to return to Israel. Why so much sympathy for the palestinians, yet ignorance, or outright callous rejection of the Jewish claim?
And 2nd of all, they are from the transjordan the majority of todays palestinians. This is a fact. Yasser Araft - the devoted 'leader' of palestinians wasnt even a palestinian, but an Egyptian!.

So i dont get what youre saying.
Should we give the land of America back to the natives. Its their land, rightfully is it not? They did live here for thousands of years uninterterupted. did they not?
If the issue is 'humanistic' and desirious of justice, than how can you make a distinction between the Natives and palestinians (who in anycase are a made up people)? Or is time a factor. After a certain period of time your right of 'return' runs out... Is it an imaginary law or something? Why is everybody grilling the Jews who ACTUALLY have an impressively rich history in Israel - ie; the most known book ever talks all about it, yet Europes own mistreatment and invidious behavior goes unresolved. Its victims still uncompensated. Why? Maybe because most people are dumb and rely on major public opinion to form their views? Some egoioc need to be on the 'winning side'?

Firstly the British weren't going to leave without giving the Jews a share, so it's not like they were going to leave it all to the Arabs anyway.
Second the Jews claimed what was given to them by the UN, and it was the war that brought them the rest of the land, a war started by the Arab nations.
Third had the Arab nations negotiated back the lands won by the Jews in the war the Palestinians might have gotten their lands back, and non of this would have happened, but instead they signed the armistice and left the Palestinians to wallow..
They weren't even Palestinians at the time, they were still considered Jordanians and Egyptians...
