#1, In 1906, the arab population of jerusalem was 6%. It did'nt start to increase until England started shipping in arabs from trans-jordan, etc. to cause dissension w/ the Jews.
#2 In 1948, on the day Israel was allowed it's independence, egypt, jordan, lebanon & syria ALL attacked Israel. Israel won.
#3 in 1967, Israel was attacked. Not the other way around. They have far more "right" to those territories than we do to , say, Texas or California.
It is all about the eradication of Israel, the US, etc. NOT about a tiny piece of land. The palestinians are not a "seperate people". They are by & large jordanian & lebanese.
Until the Jews came over & transformed the area, No one wanted it.
Look at it this way, if you live next door to an abandoned house, do nothing to improve it, & maybe play baseball on it once in awhile, but don't want it. Then along cmes someone who fixes up the house, & in the process, brings water to YOUR property, puts a hopspital in, & feeds you.
You decide because you played baseball there, YOU deserve it more. So you go try to kick your neighbors ass. He defends himself, & puts up a fence, & allows you limited access. Is that unreasonable, or should you get all his stuff? Then hegives 99% of the fence back. You still want to kick his ass over 1%? I ask you, is this reasonable? No.
I understand this is over simplified. I don't agree w/ all the policies of Israel. But to say the "palestinians" have a "right" to this land is a legal fiction.
