>>This is not a case of white settlers running American Indians off their land, these "Palestinians" were never from Palestine even when Israel was called Palestine at the time... this is the Palestinian hoax...

What you say would be true if the "Palestinians" were chased out off that land, but they weren't, they never came from there, they came from Jordan and Egypt, even Arafart himself is Egyptian, born in Cairo, they have no legitimate claim to Israel's land... <<

GZ -

Apparently you are unfamiliar with the history of the situation. The area now known as Israel was populated almost exclusively by Arabs over the last two millennia. You can deny that all you want, but that's how it is.

Arafat himself may have been born in Cairo, but do you imagine that no one was ever born in Palestine in 2,000 years?

The Hebrew tribes invaded the area in Biblical times, and did settle there for a while, but I don't see how that gives them some kind of holy claim to the land.
