Bob,Chrisse - Thank you for your post.
You are right about the propaganda, and I do get carried away some time with my verbiage. .
I can NEVER defend the atrocities of many Muslims. They find a way of justifying the killing of innocents in the most brutal way.
However, I do think the Palestinians got their land stolen and that Israel over reacted when they killed 1300 or so Palestinians.
Peace
Bob
The “Palestinians” did not get their land stolen as there is no such people called “Palestinians”. With the British Mandate of Palestine, “Palestine” referred to the Jewish homeland, and therefore the Jews were the “Palestinians”. The actual arabs who were there already never considered themselves “Palestinians”.
This is a complex issue, but in brief. When the British under Churchill sliced off 80% of the Palestinian Mandated area and created TransJordan they did so, while technically within the articles of the Mandate itself (from memory article 25/26?), but not within the intent of the Mandate. Therefore, in my view, the clause that the Jewish Homeland (now Israel) should be for the Jews, but not deny the rights of non-Jews, has, in the case of the arab muslims, been met with Jordan.
There is a two-state solution in place : Israel and Jordan
What we are talking about is further stealing of the Jewish Homeland into a three-state solution. Just because a number of people call a rose a horse, does not make it so.
The “Palestinians” (except for the Christians living there) are occupying Judea/Samaria and Gaza. What muslim arabs were there are a result of massive ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Jews and Christians in the 7th Century by the barbaric islamic imperialists. At the time of the British Mandate, the area was not controlled by arabs either - it was the Ottoman Empire.
Anyway, this is far too complex for here. My stand on this issue is :
NO to a 3 state solution
ALL muslim arabs out of Israel/Judea/Samaria and Gaza.
