How can the Israelis be on stolen land when in fact for thousands of years the land has been their ancestral homeland and was so long before any Muslim pitched a tent or created the word Palestinian. It was their land long before the Roman occupation and was so during it which created a Jewish Diaspora among much of the region and of Europe in modern times while their ancestral land was occupied by foreign occupiers practicing a much younger religion called Islam.
I think it's because they (Palestinians) were the ones physically living there in 1947.
.....but the problem was that despite living there, they were not the ones actually in control of the land.
I fail to see how it is any different than a renter not being able to renew their lease because the owner wanted to sell the property.
Looking at the history of the area, it seems as though actual Palestinians have not been in control of that area since almost the stone age.
It's been the territory of some other nation or empire since then.
Question for the "river to the sea" people.
How is that any different than the idea Americans should vacate America and give it back to the natives who were already here before we got here.
How would that be any different?
At what point does, "if you can't hold it, you don't own it", come into play?
Also, don't take my position as meaning I love Israel. Because I think they can do some f'ed up shit as well as anyone.
......but that also doesn't excuse the f'ed up shit the ones attacking them can do, either.
Sometimes I think the World would be far better off if that whole area of the World could just be removed from the equation.
I'm so sick of all of it. It's as though no one in that area of the World actually WANTS to get along.
.....and to get along with anyone, requires at the least to have the desire to not want to fight all the time.
What is it about the Middle East that makes people become completely unreasonable?
