re: ALL the Israeli leaders were born elsewhere! By YOUR logic, that destroys their legitimacy. the point was not about legitimacy but about the specific argument that used by palestinians to justify destruction of Israel and killing jews. The argument is that they lived there forever while Jews are recent immigrants. The argument would not work if they would be immigrants too, would it? the point was not about if they have the right to live in palestine

re: But the Israeli claim that the land was "empty", or that a majority of Jews lived there that would depend on a time period but if you mean early 20th century then no one argues the fact that majority of population were arabs. The statistics that I posted was for Jerusalem only. But when you consider who lived where and when you should know that some arabs joined Israel and live in Israel and have representation in Israeli government. Regardless of the origin palestinians got most of the palestine while it was divided between Jordan Israel and palestinian state. Also take into account that Israel is held to much higher moral standards than arabs. King of Jordan slaughtered 10s of thousands palestinians and kicked the rest of them out of portion of palestine that belongs to Jordan and no one had a problem with the king -AK
