Len. You Posted.....Again...." "Contrary to Zionist mythology, there has never been a single Jewish homeland in Palestine from which the Jews were expelled by the Romans."..

What a crock of Bulls*@t. You know very well that the term palestine did not even exist until sometime after the death of Christ. And you also know that the state of Israel existed for a 1000 years or more before the birth of Christ.

A couple of good snippets from your article:

===================================================

Israeli writer Simha Flapan writes in The Birth of Israel:

"The Israeli myth that the Palestinian leaders were uniformly uncompromising is accompanied by the claim, equally erroneous, that ... the masses of Palestinians eagerly embraced war with the Jewish state.... The evidence [against this] is so overwhelming that the question arises how the myth of a Palestinian jihad against the Jews could survive so long."

===================================================

The documentation makes it abundantly clear that for him, for Chaim Weizman, for Ben-Gurion's protege Moshe Dayan, and for many other Zionist leaders, "Palestine" included all of Jerusalem, all of the West Bank, a substantial part of the East Bank or western Jordan at least to Amman, southern Lebanon, the Golan Heights and other parts of southern Syria, the Gaza strip, and part of the Sinai peninsula.
