Arabs lived in Palestine for some 1500-1800 years. During that time they were ruled often by Persians or Turks or somebody else. Suppose it's true that they only ruled it themselves for 22 years. That does not take away their understanding that this is their homeland. Could they have lived with the Jewish entry, decided by the UN, over Arabs' objections? Sure. They didn't want to do so and were violent, resulting in their loss of territory. So what. If you want to prove some moral superiority of Zionism, I don't care. I might or might not accept your proof. But it's irrelevant. The Palestinian Arabs lived there more than the most recent thousand years. They consider it theirs, as the Irish considered Ireland their's even though it was counted as one of the British Isles. So what if the Koran never mentions Jerusalem? The Koran was written before Jerusalem became over the centuries their ancestral city. You can prove that Jerusalem and Palestine belong to the Zionists as long as you like, you aren't changing history. You won't change the mind of the Palestinians and their sympathizers the other Arabs. It's not like the Arabs were laying claim to Norway or to Burma. They want the country which their ancestors lived in all those centuries. If the U.S. is convinced by people like you that they should do nothing for Palestinian rights then the war against the despicable terrorists will never be won. You and people who think like you are serious obstacles. As for quoting the old Testament, which advocates genocide, I think you should stay away from that. Israel's government does not favour genocide but the bible does(deuteronomy).
