Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "The difference is that the Israelis don't claim that Israel did exist 100 years ago, except as a dream of the Zionists. But the Palestinians tell everybody that their country of "Historic Palestine" existed forever before the thieving Jews stole it from them."

Uh, your point? Are you arguing that the Palestinians are irrational, and are therefore going to continue fighting until they win?

Every nation has beliefs that justify their own nationhood. It's quite common for those beliefs to be founded on a fantasy that the people find attractive. A substantial proportion of the Israelis, for example, think that their country was founded by God, LOL.
