    Good info for the uninformed. I have found this out over the years and am constantly amazed at the number of people that think there ever was a culture known as Palestinian.

    If you repeat the lie often enough it shall become the truth.

    The results from your inquiry show the lack of interest in reality. Read the headline only, get fast food and communicate via text bursts. I am wondering how long it is till our new President is blamed for the mess called the Middle East. It will happen. Few believe me when I tell them that we were painting our vehicles and armor desert camo in Germany in April of 1974.

    Until the Jews began returning to the Land of Israel in increasing numbers from the late 19th century to the turn of the 20th, the area called Palestine was a God-forsaken backwash that belonged to the Ottoman Empire, based in Turkey.

    A travel guide to Palestine and Syria, published in 1906 by Karl Baedeker, illustrates the fact that, even when the Islamic Ottoman Empire ruled the region, the Muslim population in Jerusalem was minimal. The book estimates the total population of the city at 60,000, of whom 7,000 were Muslims, 13,000 were Christians and 40,000 were Jews.

    "The number of Jews has greatly risen in the last few decades, in spite of the fact that they are forbidden to immigrate or to possess landed property," the book states.

    Even though the Jews were persecuted, still they came to Jerusalem and represented the overwhelming majority of the population as early as 1906. And even though Muslims today claim Jerusalem as the third holiest site in Islam, when the city was under Islamic rule, they had little interest in it. As the Jews came, drained the swamps and made the deserts bloom, something interesting began to happen. Arabs followed. I don't blame them. They had good reason to come. They came for jobs. They came for prosperity. They came for freedom. And they came in large numbers.

    Winston Churchill observed in 1939: "So far from being persecuted, the Arabs have crowded into the country and multiplied till their population has increased more than even all world Jewry could lift up the Jewish population." This is the modern real history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. At no time did the Jews uproot Arab families from their homes. When there were title deeds to be purchased, they bought them at inflated prices. When there were not, they worked the land so they could have a place to live without the persecution they faced throughout the world.

    It's a great big lie that the Israelis displaced anyone -- one of a series of lies and myths that have the world on the verge of committing yet another great injustice to the Jews

    But there's more to this story. It illustrates why non-Jews were not interested in the Holy Land until the Jews returned. It's something written in a book called "Prophecies for the Era of Muslim Terror." Do you know why the Holy Land became a wasteland during the 1,800-year dispersion of the Jews that lasted until they returned in significant numbers beginning in the early 20th century?

    In "Prophecies for the Era of Muslim Terror," the author points out the land suffered an unprecedented, severe and inexplicable (by anything other than supernatural explanations) drought that lasted from the first century until the 20th -- a period of 1,800 years coinciding with the forced dispersion of the Jews.

    The author sees this as a miraculous fulfillment of prophecy found in the book of Deuteronomy - especially chapter 28:23-24. "And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. "The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed."

    The climate in Israel dramatically changed during this 1,800-period -- centuries before Al Gore discovered "global warming" or invented the Internet. Before the Jews entered Canaan, it was described in the Bible as a land flowing with milk and honey. If you read what Israel's climate and natural landscape was like from the time Joshua crossed the Jordan right up until the time of Jesus, it sounds like a heavily forested land. There were amazing crops raised by the people who inhabited the land when the Jews arrived.

    One might wonder what happened to Israel to turn it into the dusty, arid land it was when the Jews came back in the 20th century. For 1,800 years, it hardly ever rained in Israel. This was the barren land discovered by Mark Twain. The are called "Palestine" was a wasteland -- essentially nobody lived there. There was no indigenous Arab population to speak of. It only came after the Jews came back.

    Try the homework help section. This is defiantly not a military question and I'm sure you didn't come up with it your self. Better yet, try yahoo or google.

    the crimes is on God's hand, why would he order abraham to move to a land populate by the phoenecian. Palestine was not an empty lot back then.
