>> Well, it did for 400,000 of them, apparently. There is nothing "apparent" about it. There was no eminent domain involved. Nobody made them leave. The Jews didn't "invade" Palestine. And the characterization that Palestine constituted someone's "homeland" is a crock of shit. As I said in the original post, it was literally a wasteland that the Jews turned into something. Palestine was not a country; if anything, it was a small group of varying provincial subdivisions. There was never any "Arab state of Palestine". At Versailles, NOT ONE leader of any Arab state tried to claim that Palestine had some kind of "national claim" to the land. Not ONE. Hell, Feisal viewed the Zionists as potential allies at the time. Feisal wrote of the Zionists, "we regard them as moderate and proper ... We will wish the Jews a hearty welcome home." The bottom line is that, only after the Jews made something of this tiny speck of land, did the Palestinians finally decide they wanted it. The Palestinians want it, NOT because it is there "occupied homeland" (which is obviously is NOT), but because they went from being the majority to now, a small minority. Where was the Palestinian government while all this was going on? Can you legitimately claim this area to be your homeland if you don't even have a functioning government?
