tejek...."Israel existed then disappeared off the face of the map for nearly 2000 years. The US was made up of native tribes as recently as 300 years ago. Yet, I don't think you are ready to give them back their land, are you? I didn't think so.".... Correct Israel and Jews were on that land before arab moslums. Israel never disappeared it has been occupied by different invasion powers over the years. True but the ancient Israelis were long gone when the Zionists decided to move to Palestine. The Arabs have been the dominant population in Palestine for centuries. By your own logic Jews and Israel were there first and invaded by others. No. Look up the Great Diaspora. The Jews left Palestine both by force and by their own volition. It was during the time the Romans controlled Judea. You now claim that the arab moslums who also invaded that land and the Jews have title to the land EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY THE ORIGINAL OWNERS. Why does your own logic not apply to Jews....cuz they are Jews maybe? Ah.....it has to be anti Semitism....except it isn't. I just like dealing in truth. BTW the words Arab and Moslem are capitalized and there is no 'u' in Moslem. There are NO palestinians..there is NO palestine never was. Not true. I get real tired of people who don't know the history of the region but think they know. The Romans called the area Syria Palaestina......that's how it came to be called Palestine: "The name and the borders of Palestine have varied throughout history, though Palestine has certain natural boundaries that justify its historical individuality. The name itself was given to these lands by the Romans - and in about 135 CE. They have called it Province of Syria Palaestina." en.wikipedia.org There was never a recognized state established there to replace Israel for thousands of years...Israel was the only recognized country/state to ever exist there. That's true. And that's true because for most of the last 1000 years, the area was a province of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. Repeat a lie often enough...in this case hundreds of years...and weak minded people believe the lie. And youth who have been taught a lie in place of true history. They have no choice but to believe. People in glass houses should be careful when they throw stones.
