Ever since 1948, the Arabs were never willing to accept a Jewish state in that area, even though Jews have a history in that area dating back thousands of years. Ever since 1948, the Arabs have been militarily attacking Israel. Practically every time this has happened, the Arabs ended up losing some land as a result. Most of the countries that engaged in the attacks on Israel have finally gotten smart and stopped attacking Israel. The Palestinians are the only ones that keep attacking Israel. They want some of the land back that they lost in previous wars. The Palestinians don't even recognize Israel's right to exist. I think Israel would be crazy to give any land back. Why would you give land to people who say they want to destroy you? It would be one thing if the Palestinians accepted Israel's right to exist and wanted to co-exist in peace. But that is not the case. The Palestinians have continuously repeated their position for years that they do no accept Israel and they want to destroy them. If you owned some disputed property would you give some of that property to a person who says that their goal is to kill you? By the way, one thing that many people forget is that the Palestinians are not some distinct people. They are Arabs. Some of them are Egyptians, some are Jordanians, some are Lebanese, some are Syrian, etc. Like I said before, the Arabs have 99% of the land in the Middle East. Israel has 1%, yet people think Israel needs to give some of that land back to the Arabs. It is absurd. Last edited by Rupert Pupkin : 12-01-2012 at 08:14 PM. |

and the highlighted...the palestinians want the homeland they were promised. it has nothing to do with whether they are arabs or not. hell, we sure didn't tell the kuwaitis they could live elsewhere when iraq invaded. they're all arabs too.

All this stuff happened 40-60 years ago. I think people need to move on. Mexico is not still crying over the land that we took from them. I think most people in the US are pro-Israel. But there are certainly some people that are extremely pro-Palestinian and they think that Israel should give land back to the Palestinians. I wonder if these same people would be in favor of us giving a lot of land back to Mexico and back to the Indians. With regard to Iraq and Kuwait, Iraq attacked Kuwait and tried to take their land. If it was the other way around and Kuwait had attacked Iraq, I don't think people would have complained if Iraq was victorious and took some land away from Kuwait. Here is some good info about the whole Israel/Palestinian conflict: http://www.targetofopportunity.com/p...nian_truth.htm |

![]() Do a search for "Abbas calls for the destruction of Israel". By the way, Abbas' Fatah party still calls for the destruction of Israel in their charter.
