What we all have to remember is the fact that the Gaza strip and the West Bank are Palestinian territories that have been occupied by the Jewish state since 1967, [/quote[
Minor correction, Jewish people did NOT occupy those lands, Arabs did.
Jews were finally allowed to return from their exile.
and let us not forget the fact that the Jewish state did not exist since before the time of Christ and its' occupation by the Roman Empire until 1948, and that the vast majority of Jews living there are immigrants and ancestors of immigrants who have moved there or have been born there since the turn of the century. How far back in history do we take "legitimate" claims on ancestral territory? Here in Canada the First Nation Peoples have a much more recent historical claim to Canadian land than the Jewish people have on Israel. When will we stop this territorial maddness, and realize that we will destroy our planet if we don't stop this religious insanity. We cannot stubbornly contine to demand our own way just because some passage in the Torah, the Bible, or Oral Tradition demands that we are heirs to a chunk of real estate. It seems that religion is destroying the world and mankind...including the religion of Capitalism.
As far as i am concerned Arabs have their lands, Jewish people do not. It is only fair that jewish get one small country theu deserve, ISRAEL!
Don't you dare compare Canada and US conquest of natives and what is in Israel. Jews are the chosen people and that is why they have been treated so badly throught 1000s of years. G-d judges righteous to the hearbreadth.
