What do you think about the Israel - Palestine issue?
Your thoughts..

I am on Palestine's side. This is why:
• I am a Palestinian whose original village was ethnically cleansed then destroyed by the Zionists.
• Before 1917 Jews made up 8% of the population
• Britain decided to give what is not theirs to the Zionists and allowed mass Jewish immigration into Palestine between 1917 and 1948
• Jews became 33% of the population and owned 7% of the land by 1947, but the UN allocated to them 55% of the land in the Partition Plan.
• Though Israel was allocated 55% of the land, but they occupied 80% of the land in 1948
• Zionists ethnically cleansed 80% of the native Palestinian population on that land
• In 1967 Israel illegally occupied the remaining 20% of Palestine.
• Israel built and is still building illegal settlements in occupied territories, against UN resolutions.
• Israel did not return land occupied in 1967, against UN resolutions
• Israel did not allow refugees to return, against UN resolutions
• Israel built an apartheid wall around and through the West Bank against World Court orders.
• Israel blockaded and starved civilian population under occupation in violation of international law.
• Israel used banned weapons against civilian areas (white phosphorus and cluster bombs) in violation of international law.

Israel is not a nation (It is a group of Semitic people). They have no need to steal land from the Palestinians.
Learn the truth about Khazars - 90% or more of the people who are claiming to be Jewish are lying through their teeth. They have no Semitic blood. They are greedy evil people masquerading as Jews and have taken over most of the Banks and Currency on Earth. And they plan to rule Earth from Jerusalem.
The Balfour Declaration that created the state of Israel was a TOTAL SHAM cooked up by Khazar Zionists in Great Britain, namely the Rothschilds. It is not acceptable to any court on earth, except maybe the Israeli Courts.
Brother Nathanael has the best information that exposes the Jewish (Khazar) takeover of the United States.

I sympathize with Israel. I am an evangelical Christian and believe that God gave the Jewish people title to the land in perpetuity. I am an American of Anglo-Scottish descent. Other reasons I sympathize with Israel. 1. They embody many Western civilization values and ideals. 2. They are a helpful ally in a generally hostile region - the hostility would be there even if Israel was not since we are all infidels to Muslims anyway. 3. They fought for and won the land in spite of the odds against them. I do believe that the victor should get the spoils. 4. They deserve a land they can call their own and protect to keep the rest of the world from abusing them as it had for almost 1900 years since the Diaspora and leading up to the Holocaust. 5. Palestine is not a real country nor a real people - they are culturally indistinct from any other Arab. 6. I like underdogs and 6 million Jews versus 1 billion Muslims and probably about 3 billion anti-Semites world wide is the ultimate underdog story. 7. Islam is the second greatest threat to freedom and Western civilization that I know of (Red China being the 1st) and anything bad for Islam is good for the west. Yes, I am biased and I hope to remain that way on this issue for a long, LONG time.

The land is PALESTINE, it has been for hundreds of years.
Israel did not exist until 1948 when the land was taken from the Palestinian people.
The illegal state of Israel only exists because it it strategically important for the USA to have an ally and power base in the middle east as a way of monitoring and controlling arab countries.
@ **** FINGERTON. Indonesia does not have a minority Muslim community - it is a the largest Muslim country in the world.
@yousef masiha - Bali and Timor are part of Indonesia.
A multi cultural society which recognises Christianity, Hinduism and Budhism, they all can freely worship.
Jews have always been regarded as 2nd class citizens, In England especially there were laws forbidding the activities that Jews could undertake and work they were allowed to do.
The foundation of Israel was an ideal opportunity for England especially to gt rid of their particular "Jewish problem" by giving them an opportunity to go.
IN 61 AD [1949 years ago] Palestine was part of the Roman Empire. yes my history is correct.

Upon deep thoughts, I reckon that every non-Muslim society with a Muslim country for a neighbor is an 'Israel'. An Islamic nation as your neighbor or a minority Muslim population within your secular country will be beset with the same problems that are faced by Israel. Check out India/Pakistan, Philippines-Mindanao, Indonesia, Thailand etc. Muslims as a rule or norm never fit into the societies they are born into....The Quran and Hadiths make them misfits in the secular societies they live in.
History is witness that you cannot have lasting peace with an Islamic country by your side or with Muslims within your country! Kafirs can only have a brief period of 'compromise' of false peace with Islam! Its a fact of History and life. No period of Islamic History was without a harvest of Blood! Even though I am not a Jew my sympathies are with this small Heroic nation which has survived the onslaught of radical Islam from Islamic nations whose land masses are 70% bigger than its size!! Hats of Israel..you are the role model of future secular nations. You are the only David which will someday take on the menacing Islamic Goliath. Do not let your guard down. God Bless.

It will take an invasion from outer space! Like the late President of the USA, Ronald Reagan said during a summit in Iceland during his presidency: All our little squabbles will go away instantly and the world will unite. (Mr. Reagan claimed to have seen a UFO while Governor of California!)

Imagine that someone came right now and kicked you out of your home which you had for hundreds of years telling you it's his right to have your home! what will you do? will you just leave or will you fight back?
Well, that's exactly what happened, the palestinians were and are still being kicked out of their homes and just because they're trying to get their rights back, to fight for their survival and to restore their land ..they're being called TERRORISTS!! Isn't this just funny?? People being killed day and night, women, children, innocent men..non-stop suffering, pain and cries and what's the result...being called a terrorist!! What's going on there right now is called ETHNIC CLEANSING!!
Not to mention israel's disrespect for all the holy places and holy beliefs, Al Aqsa mosque -one of our holiest places- is being dug under since a long time and is about to fall down!
And Arabs are doing what?? NOTHING! just watching, crying and going back to the deep sleep! About 25 countries aren't able to help their brothers and sisters in Palestine!
If only Arabs would know that Palestine is just the beginning, they're not going to stop there..Egypt is next, Lebanon, Syria and then all Arab countries!

Dear Mr. A, the Islamo-fascist folk about me..Let me correct your misconceptions on Semitic History. You must have missed your History class or else your Mullahs must have censored the page in History which will show you that Jews inhabited the full of middle east till Saudi Arabia Until your Ravaging, Pillaging, Barbarian Prophet came around as a 'curse' and killed, pillaged and banished Jewish people out from the middle eastern peninsula...Palestinian radicals left out of control will emulate the same actions of their prophet and reduce Israelis to Dhimmis (Second class citizens under Shariah laws)
(P.S. The Jewish people existed there long before your Palestinian Hundred Years)
Get your historical facts straight...!!!
Source(s): Non nonsense secular history. (P.S. Mr. A: Indonesia is rightly a majority muslim nation that has wrecked havoc on Hindu Bali and Christian Timor...Can you distort this historical fact too? Was Palestine inhabited by Muslims during the Roman rule or isn't it a fact that Jews already inhabited Palestine? So how is your Islamic claim to Palestine relevant??? - 1 decade ago
You were living in ur own property or home peacefully; All of a sudden an ALIEN (Who does not belong to this home or its surroundings) came and said this is MY home, and started killing some of ur kids, imprisoning some others and still fighting with you; You shout to the world: "This is my house, i built it myself and i will never leave it". The world responds back: "Terrorist, we are gonna divide that house "UNEQUALLY" between you and the Alien. But in spite of that, the Alien says, NO I WILL TAKE IT ALL, IT'S MINE. The PARENTS of the neighbors are all deeply sleeping, and u can even hear the PARENT of the close neighbors SNORING. All the children of the neighbors and some of ur children who strongly believe they will never give their house away, are determined to take the house back sooner or later. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER, AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME INSHAA ALLAH.
Peace!

The whole problem can be summed up thus:
Israel is willing to have a two state solution and live in peace side by side with Palestine.
The Palestinians on the other hand want to destroy Israel and exterminate the Jewish people of Israel and destroy their state.
