    And Hamas and the other Palestinian terrorist groups only have themselves to thank for the upcoming demise of the Palestinian people.

    I'm sure early settlers used similar rationalization when wiping out innocent indians after raids

  4. Did Israelis attack the Arabs or did you re write history in the 1960s and 1970s...

    lets not paint arabs with a wide victim brush here because Israelis were not hijacking airplanes or murdering Olympic athletes.

    Were Indians always the victims or were they ever the aggressors when doing raids? Were their aggressions justifications for continuous land grabs and genocide?

    Seeing as they all once lived in Egypt, Syria, Jordan? Not sure where the term “Palestinians” originated, they are basically displaced exiles from their original countries.

    It would be one thing if the people resisted Hamas and the other terrorist groups from occupying their homes and neighborhoods, but when you aid and assist an enemy.... bad things happen.

    Their original Governments should relocate them back into their respective countries and own people.

    Seeing how Israel blockades gaza, prevents movement of goods or people, how pray tell do you expect the citizenry to "resist" Hamas?

    You mean the original government should relocate them to the seized territories of greater Israel? We're all for it. I feel like all these evangelicals have an unfathomable misunderstanding of the region's people and history.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandate_for_Palestine

    If one wouldn’t launch missiles from one’s backyard, one wouldn’t get treated badly.

    Israel settled it’s border dispute with Egypt. As far as the rest, let Jordan or Syria relocate their people from their lands they lost in the 6 day war.

    Forget your liberal historical rewrite, Israel's neighbors have wanted to rid the area of their Jewish cousins since (well, actually Abraham) but for this discussion, the Israeli Declaration of Independence, 1948.

    Israel has fought off every attack, invasion thrown at them since their rebirth, somehow I feel they’re going to be impossible to displace.

    I'd like to see you try oust those who would launch missiles from your backyard w/your fisticuffs.

    No one's talking about Egypt, Jordan, or Syria. There is no 'their people'. You think Israel was settled by Jews these last 1000 years? Is this the fairy tale you've been sold?

    The area was settled by the Ottomans. They lost the region to the Brits. The Brits made a shitshow of the region and tried displacing a bunch of Arab settlers by gifting it to the Jews, that is the story post wwii.

    You're basically saying Mexicans have a rightful claim to the Southwest because we took their land 200+ yrs ago and they're the original settlers so their claim supersedes ours. Because the Israeli's reigned over the region 1000+ yrs ago then their claim supersedes those of the Arabs who ruled since, that's the logic we're using here.

    Face it, Christian fundies have an end of times hard-on in which the Jews and the rest of the heathens will go to hell but not until they reign over the region so they'd rather look the other way on Israeli crimes than learn some history.

  10. There was never any intent on the part of the Arab world there to have Jews in Israel from the beginning. The wars in the 60's and 70's were not about anything except killing all of them and pushing them out of there and the PLO and Hamas were the answer when their armies failed. Israel does not have clean hands but don't equate the Palestinians to the Native Americans fighting of the white man invaders and encroachers. There were plenty of tribes that co existed until the U.S. tried to exterminate them off the land. The Jews were never accepted as co in habitors of Israel, they were invaded numerous times to kill them off and destroy them.
