Sure and some went with the new God 600 AD or so and the others stayed with their BC God.
A big deal, right?

They are so busy drawing up the differences because in truth they are so similar in looks, tradition and language origins that they need to work had on enhancing the differences.

Otherwise there could be no fight. And that would be just too bad for the fanatics on both sides.

Something for Fowler and other expert pacifists to elaborate on.

>Yes, my point exactly. So it is somewhat disingenuous of tejek to claim Palestinians have lived on the land longer than Jews. They are both semitic and both have lived there as long as the other.

C'mon, man... who lived there 2,000 years ago doesn't mean nearly as much as who lived there in the last century.

Excuse me.........stating that someone is Semite does not guarantee they came from Palestine. Semites are any of the people from Southwestern Asia which the last time I looked was a big area. Secondly, I was not saying that the Jews were not from the Palestine area. What I said was they have not lived there contiuously like the Arabs have.

I lived in Minnesota for a number of years. I can't go back and claim land there. Possession is 9/10s of the law. Why is that concept so hard for you to understand?
