James, As I recall it, there were no such people calling themselves Palestinians when the Jew first entered the promised land. The bible says that God demanded that the Hebrew tribes take over the land that became to be known as Palestine, later.
While the Jews were in exile, that land was infiltrated by arab people, who let the area rot into a desert like landscape. When the Jews returned to the area, after WW2, they took that desert, and made it bloom with crops, trees, and flowers. Since they are much better stewards of the land, they have every right to be there. Those that call themselves the Palestinians, were misfits, and malcontents, that were sent there from Syria, and other arab nations, that didn't want to deal with them. It is those Palestinians that are the interlopers.
The "innocent" people that are being killed, are the Jewish citizens of Israel, and they have the right to counter attack to prevent more of their women, and children, being killed by fanatical terrorists. |
