the place was continually occupied by at least many thousands of people for at least many thousands of years Oh? There are places within Palestine right now which have never been occupied, or inhabited.. There are countless thousands of square miles of Arabian desert which have never been inhabited (due to the harshness of the climate).. Even the old jewish legends say they wiped out an indigenous people, the canaanites, to occupy it for the previous time they claim .... The Canaanites no longer exist. Nor do the Philistines, or the Babylonians... If your argument were valid, then the Copts of Egypt, which are a very insular and closed community, would be far more deserving of ruling Egypt, than the Arab invaders who conquered the territory a thousand years ago. For the Copts are far more "egyptian" than are the Arabs. So where are your tears for their plight? And where are your tears for the Kurds, an ethnic nation which was ignored when the Ottoman Empire was was carved up?? They far outnumber that relatively small group of people you refer to as "Palestinians". and all that stuff you just repeated, it's all a crock Hawk, fact of the matter is the jews want the palestinians' land Just as it's a crock to believe that the people who live in that region can trace their roots back to the origins of mankind... At some point THEY had the superior weapons and tactics, and a superior will to pursue/defend their interests. And should they obtain that same advantage again, you can be assured they would attempt to dominate the West... In fact, some of them seem to believe that this concept of suicide/homicide bombings might be just that weapon.. Of course, we still have pork fat and bacon grease. Hawk
