Who did Israel steal it's land from ?

Israel stole land from nobody.

The whole Middle East was involved in modern nation building and they all got their land and corresponding capitals, but tried to prevent Israel from restoring its ancient nation.

Middle East nation building: The countries that waged war on fledgling Israel (14May1948)

Jordan 25 May 1946, Syria 17 April 1946, Lebanon 22 November 1943, Egypt 18 February 1922, Iraq 3 October 1932, North Yemen 1918

Israel was originally to receive 100% of the Palestine Mandate. Jordan got 80% and absorbed indigenous there and gave everyone citizenship until they tried to assassinate and usurp the gov't, and Israel was to get 20% and Israel absorbed what non-hostile indigenous were there. They tried a further "divvy up" of the land. A mass amount of Arabs came when Israel was nation building and when Jordan had control of West Bank for 20 years and Egypt of Gaza. I don't count them as indigenous.

It is not my fault Jordan didn't call their country Palestine. They did consider it for awhile though.

Before this all started there was no Palestinian people they considered themselves Syrian, from ancient Syrian empire.

It's not about the land. It is about Arabs trying to conquer a non-Arab country. The Muslims are seeking global dominion and Israel has actually been fending them off this whole time.

What really happened in the Middle East?

OK first of all, Yes, Israel did exist as a nation before 1948. They were a nation thousands of years ago, starting with Moses when he led the Jews out of captivity in egypt to the Promised Land that God had for them (Israel) in the year 70 AD. The roman empire invaded and completely destroyed everything including Jerusalem and the Holy Temple. In 1948 shortly after the Holocaust the Jews resettled back in their old lands and reformed their nation. In fact the Jews are the only people to be removed from their homeland for more than 1800 years and to come back together and reform their nation! Death To Islam!

They stole no one's land. It was under British rule in the time but no doubt about they are connected to that land. All would have been fine if the Arabs or so called "Palestinians" would have agreed to live near Jews side by side back in 1947, although they didn't want to and declared war and lost.

What makes people think if the Arabs would have won they would have still gave Jews a certain amount of land to live in? They would have kicked them out just like they planned in the first place, which in fact wasn't the Jews' plan in the first place, it was simply to return to their homeland, and not have a problem with the people living near.

To answer you, Israel has always belonged to the Jewish people and to no one else.Israel has belonged to the Jewish people for over 3000 years.Israel has never belonged to any Arabs,There has never been a civilization or a nation referred to as "Palestine" and the very notion of a "Palestinian Arab nation" having ancient attachments to the Holy Land going back to time immemorial is one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated upon the world! There is not, nor has there ever been, a distinct "Palestinian" culture or language. Further, there has never been a Palestinian state governed BY Arab Palestinians in history, nor was there ever a serious Arab-Palestinian national movement until 1964... three years BEFORE the Arabs of "Palestine" lost the West Bank [Judea and Samaria] and Gaza as a result of the 1967 Six-Day War (which the Arabs started). Even the so-called leader of the "Palestinian" people, Yasser Arafat, is EGYPTIAN! In short, the so-called Arab "Palestinians" are a manufactured people...a people with no history and no authenticity... whose sole purpose for existence is to destroy the Jewish State!Israel first became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two thousand years before the rise of Islam! Seven hundred and twenty-six years later in 586 B.C.E. these first ancient Jews in the Land of Israel [Judea] were overrun and Israel's First Jewish Temple (on Jerusalem's Old City Temple Mount) was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, king of ancient Babylon. Many of the Jews were killed or expelled; however many were allowed to remain. These Jews along with their progeny and other Jews who would resettle over the next 500 years, rebuilt the Nation of Israel and also a Second Temple in Jerusalem upon the Temple Mount. Thus the claim that Jews suddenly appeared fifty years ago right after the Holocaust and drove out the Arabs is preposterous! Then in 70 C.E. (nearly 2000 years ago), it was the Roman Empire's turn to march through ancient Israel and destroy the SECOND Jewish Temple, slaughtering or driving out much of its Jewish population. Many Jews left on their own because conditions for life were made unbearable in many respects... yet thousands upon thousands stayed and rebelled on for centuries in order to once again rebuild a Jewish Nation in this Holy Land. Over 3250 years, various Peoples, Religions and Empires marched through Jerusalem, Israel's ancient capital. The region was successively ruled by the Hebrews [Jews], Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Maccabeans, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Egyptians, the Crusaders, Mamelukes, the Turks (who indifferently governed the backward, neglected territory from the 16th century until the British drove them out during World War I) and then once again by the Jews in 1948. None bothered, nor were they in the least bit inclined, to build a Nation of their own... EXCEPT the Jews! It must be noted that in 636 C.E., when the Arabs marauders came to the land and uprooted even more of its Jews, they did not form any Arab nation there... and certainly not a "Palestinian" nation. They were simply "Arabs" who, as did others before them, moved into a geo-political area called "Palestine!" And remember this one fact... it was not the Jews who "usurped" (a favorite word from the Arab propagandists) the land from the Arabs. If anything, it was the Arabs in 636 C.E. who overran and stole it from the Jews! No nation, other than the ancient nation of Israel and later again in 1948 with the rebirth of the 2nd Nation of Israel, has ever ruled as a sovereign national entity on this land. A mighty Jewish empire extended over this entire area before the Arabs --- and their Islam --- were even born! The Jewish People have one of the most legitimate Birth Certificates of any nations in the world. Every time there is an archaeological dig in Israel, it does nothing but support the fact that the Jewish People have had a presence there for well over 3,000 years. The national coins, the pottery, the cities, the ancient Hebrew texts... all support this claim. Yes, other peoples have passed through, but there is no mistaking the fact that Jews have always had a continual presence in that land for over 3,000 years. This predates and certain dwarfs any claims that other peoples in the regions may have. The ancient Philistines are extinct. Many other ancient peoples are extinct. They do not have the unbroken line to this date that the Jews have. And if you want to talk religion, fine. G-d GAVE the Land of Israel to the Jewish People. And G-d does nothing by accident!

It was stolen from the Arabs my friend. And i don't think we should even argue about what it was called 3000 years ago or who lived there during the stone age. Please my friend carefully note that Palestinians have unique culture, national dress, food, history, unlike our Israeli friends who only have boats (i love that trancinguy btw) . Check for yourself:

Leave the boats aside and tell me my dear friend, what is this Jewish unique history in Palestine that made them come all the way from Europe and kick out the original inhabitants?

Now to the point; I think we all know how our Jewish Zionist friends used ugly methods against UN members to make them vote for the partition of Palestine right? That can tell us that they had nothing in Palestine or why else would they do that? That is when Palestinians lost their lands, properties, and lives in order for our Jewish Zionist friends to fulfill their religious prophecies. Pretty much sad if you ask me. Today and under the international law, the only legal claim that Israel can ever make is at UN borders of '47. That means no Jerusalem and no West Bank. International Community and majority of world countries recognize all these territories as part of the Palestinians state and none recognize it as part of Israel. So why do you still ask if it was stolen or not? Of course it was stolen my friend. Not only that Israel illegally occupies Palestinian territories, but it also treats the non Jewish population there in terrible inhumane way.

As usual, our Israeli friends here like jay will tell us this Israeli (biased if you allow me to say) history. What our friend here wont tell us of course (although he knows it is true) that Arab countries only attacked the areas which were illegally occupied by Zionist gangs back then, which was recognized by UN as part of Palestinian Arab state. No Arab army attacked Israel but it is the other way around. What amazes me that he also goes that far to ignore Plan Dalet. Our Israeli friends are well known to be selective when it comes to facts.

All the best

dear mr. hexbaba

people lived on that land you now casually refer to as israel.

they grew olive groves that take generations to mature only for zionists to bulldoze them down

farms pastures businesses orchards villages homes

vanished

they are known as Palestinians

Imagine someone coming to your land with a bible and a rifle saying "get the **** out of your house, our ansestors owned it 3000 years ago, it says so right here..."

That's exactly what happened when Palestinians were displaced or enslaved in their own homes.

What's sad that I know majority of Jews in Israel agree with this, unlike the current extreme right wing conservatives ruling over Israel at the moment...It's funny how foreigners pretend to know the situation in Israel when they don't know ****.

btw, even the most extreme right journalists, politicians agree that Israel has a tremendous amount of fire power. When Israel say's "Hamas is a threat to Israel", it reminds me of when Papa Bush said "Nicaragua is a threat to the U.S"

Palestine is a Greek word, not in Arabic.

How come?

All people have name for their land in their language.

Who stole the land?

if stolen car is not painted over yet, it was just stolen.

And capital city of this land JEWsalem, not Arabsalem.

@our friend from Pakistan Priya,

What unique language your 12 million people speak?

What was their capital city 200 or 2000 yars ago?

If you still insist tha biblical Philisines and today Palestinians are the same, than you have your old land GAZA. What else do you want?

The region was called Palestine before. So the PALESTINIANS.

You Zionists are so pathetic that you can actually stoop low enough to not aknowledge 12,000,000 people and their history. That should be made a crime just like for the Holocaust

Edit: Let me ask you. How long has Palestine existed?

Israel was attacked at 1967 by 4 Arab countries on 3 fronts, it won this war in 6 days and was allowed to keep all the land, so there is no stolen land.

The muslim countries were sure of their victory, so they told the Arab residents there to flee as they did in 1948 promising they will be able to return after they throw the jews to the ocean, they failed and the arabs who stayed received Israeli citizenship, while the others were not accepted in the attacking Muslim countries and caused much trouble in them like black September in Jordan and the Lebanon war in 1982.

Muslims follows taqiyya law, this means that lying and pretending to like western values is a religious obligation to them if it serves to spread Islam and save their asses.

The mentality of Islam is itbach kul alam, it means kill the entire world in arabic, they kill many people everyday and call Islam the religion of peace here check the numbers..

Islamofacists hope to persuade stupid people who don't learn history to their causes by masking it with liberalism and human rights, which is one big joke considering how they run their muslim countries, few examples:

'Palestinians', is a horrible lie created by Arabs after they lost in the six day war in 1967 but cannot admit and must lie to protect their 'honor' lying about everything and playing victim all the time even thought it is the other way around is just fine with their crippled morals which could be summed as "itbach kul alam" and lie, that's about it.

There is not a single thing that could point on a difference between arab from Iran,iraq,saudi arabia,jordan(the real palestine)... to a 'palestinian' they have the same language,same culture,same food,same everything, Jordan even have the same flag...you can hear arab leaders admit it even on the last link I give.

Another lie is the situation in gaza:
