and let me just add the Wikipedia entry on Palestine .. for what it's worth:
I find nothing wrong with it.
Current "Palestinians" are those living in and around Israel that are not Jewish.
They have been offered to have their own state of Palestine next to Israel, but have refused that .. wanting there to be no Israel.
They can go to their common people in Jordan, but don't .. for whatever reason I admit I do not know.
No one denies that people live in the area of Palestine that don't want to live in Israel, but there are many other options besides killing Israelis.
The history of Palestine is the study of the past in the region of Palestine, the geographic region in Western Asia between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, and various adjoining lands. Situated at a strategic location between Egypt, Syria and Arabia, and the birthplace of major Abrahamic religions [1] the region has a long and tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics. Palestine has been controlled by numerous different peoples, including the Ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Philistines, Tjekker, Ancient Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, the Muslims, the Crusaders, Ayyubids, Mameluks, Ottomans, the British, The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (1948-1967, on the " West Bank") and Egyptian Republic(in Gaza), and modern Israelis and Palestinians. Other terms for the same area include Canaan, Zion, the Land of Israel, Southern Syria, Jund Filastin, Outremer, the Holy Land and the Southern Levant. |
