| Milites Gregarius | First of all,I am absolutely against to be killed of civilians from any side. Which country wants to be founded a state just near and which might threaten herself? What will happen if a Jewish State is founded in Europa or in USA? In that situation, your Western world What kind of mental do you have? Why does Israel move backward to the border of before of 1967 that is made a decision by the UN? Today more than 3 million palestinians are sent from their land into exile by Israel and there are many people of desperate. So, this title of topic must be Which side is the occupier?,isn't that more suitable? Most of palestinian lands are captured by Israel that is supported from America and Europa and more than 3 million palestinians are expelled.Now making offerings Lets make peace.This is not real at all. Whenever who are crushed?,who are killed? These are muslim? ok... go on America, go on Israel, these are already fundamentalist,no care. Isn't Israel a state upon base religion? Who is fundamentalist in real? Your Western mental is upon base contradiction,hypocrisy and bigot. These has been traditionals of Western about Muslim. If you have courage,Be honest! Be gent! |

| Milforum Moderator ![]() | IMO historically both sides have valid claims to the territory in question. However it appears that the palestines have no intention today tomorrow or ever of completely stopping their terror campaigns until the Jews are expelled totally. |

| Milforum Moderator ![]() | Firstly, thanks everybody for your comments. Thank you Flyingfrog, I will fix that problem now.... xman, you are very angry. That is understandable. However, you are somewhat incorrect about some details. Quote:
That would make no sens. Israel is the Jewish homeland. There was a continuous Jewish praesens in Palestine/Israel much before it was named Palestine. A little less than 2000 years ago most of the jews were sent to exile by the Romans, who were the first to change its name to Syria-Palestina. This is long before a single Arab stepped on my Homeland. However, I am not a 5 year old. I'm accept the Palestinian claim to the land. They have after all, lived here for a long time(about 1400 years). And as I do, most Israelis do. But the Palestinian terror orgs cannot see a situation in which there is a Palestine and an Israel side by side. This would end the reason for their existence. This brings me to: Quote:
What is it that we should do? Should we expose our necks and let them slaughter us? NO! Enough Jews have been slaughtered in their homeland and out of it. I watch the news and see the Palestinians at a checkpoint. They are trying to get into Israel. I feel sorry for them. And they complain about the cramped checkpoint and the long wait and my heart screams-"These people just want to feed their children...). And than a suicide bomber explodes on the soldiers in the Checkpoint.....What would you feel? Quote:
Quote:
Or maybe, shortly after, when we did offer all the territories back to the countries who had them(thats right, Egypt and Jordan use to be the upressors of the Palestinians....) and all we asked was peace and and acceptance, the arab states said: No to Peace. No to Negotiations. No to a recognition in the State of Israel. What were we than to do? Give the land back to enemys that did not even acknowledge our independence? come on..... Quote:

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Because of the conflicting claims on the "Holy Land", would it seem reasonable for Israel to offer fair market value for homes from which Palestinians have been displaced? Would some other Arabic state accept a program of the purchase homes and lands in their country to relocate the masses of Palestinians who are living in refugee camps? Or to relocate them into the West Bank and Gaza? Any such solution has been thrown back into the face of the Israelis. I think the Palestinians need to take a more realistic stand. Of course, many of the Palestinians do, and the murderous mob of extremist are sabotaging any peaceful solution that either side proposes.

| Milforum Hitman | I had a conversation about this with my roommate last night. I had just watched a tv show where these two israeli settlers (two women) were badmouthing Sharon's decision to unilaterally withdraw and dismantle the settlements, and they were doing so with strong reasons. They were saying that the houses they now own were not taken from the Arabs but rather built by the Jews brick on brick. It was just the desert before. "Now wouldn't it be awful if these houses we built out of sand and rocks were given as a gift to the Hamas leaders?" Second, I noticed how strong and unattackable their grounds were: the Jews have to live in what they believe to be their Holy Land for the simple reason that God gave it to them. It's written on the Bible, word by word, and the Christians believe in the Bible. The Promised Land, the Chosen Nation and all the rest: how can a Christian deny them that right if he truly believes in the Bible? They would accept the Arabs, living next door to them, its the arabs who dont want to accept even the idea of Jews living on that land. I'm agnostic, by the way. I just wonder how a Christian can not recognize the Jews this God-given right to that land.

| Milforum Moderator ![]() | Well, I really dont like those people. They are willing to take the entire country down so they dont have to move. Either way, Its irrelevant, because the Palestinians are doing nothing to continue the peace process |

| Milites Gregarius | Your game of homeland doesn't work for muslims and also it's pretty foxy.You are talking about with century of 3 or 5. As additional to your argue, We came from Middle Asia, My father was ADEM and my mother was HAVVA. You jews with lies can deceive to the Western World only. All of palestinian lands have been controled by muslims as the date of 1187. Here is the reals: Zionists undoubtedly saved the worst cruelty for the people who belonged to a "land without people": the Palestinians. From the day Zionism entered Palestine, its adherents have sought to destroy the Palestinians. To make room for the migrating Jews, whether influenced by Zionist ideals or afraid of anti-Semitism, the Palestinians were constantly pressured, exiled, and kicked out of their homes and lands. This movement to occupy and exile, accelerated by the founding of Israel in 1948, destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. To this day, about 3.5 million Palestinians still struggle for their lives as refugees under the most difficult conditions. Ever since the 1920s, the Zionist-organized Jewish migration has steadily changed Palestinian demographics and has been the most important cause of the ongoing conflict. Statistics related to the increase in the Jewish population readily attest to this fact. These figures are an important demonstration of how a colonial power from abroad, one with no legal right to the land in question, came to rob the rights of the indigenous population. According to official records, the number of Jewish immigrants to Palestine increased from 100,000 in the 1920s to 232,000 in the 1930s.As of 1939, the Palestinian population of 1.5 million included 445,000 Jews. Their numbers, which had represented just 10% of the population 20 years earlier, now accounted for 30% of the population. Jewish settlements also expanded rapidly, and by 1939 the Jews owned twice the amount of land that they had owned in the 1920s. As of 1947, there were 630,000 Jews in Palestine and 1.3 million Palestinians. Between November 29, 1947, when Palestine was partitioned by the United Nations, and May 15, 1948, Zionist terrorist organizations captured three-fourths of Palestine. During this time, the number of Palestinians living in 500 cities, towns, and villages dropped from 950,000 to 138,000 as a result of attacks and massacres. Some were killed; others were exiled. ![]() 1) British territory 2) Arab territory 3) Jewish territory 4) International territory When Palestine came under British control following World War I, a large wave of Jewish migration to the area began. This migration gradually led to an increase in tension. During this period, several commissions were established to determine how the Jews and the Palestinians would share the land. The best-known of these were the Peel Commission, headed by England's former Foreign Secretary for India Lord Earl Peel, and the Morrison-Grady Commission, formed through an American-British partnership. The Peel Commission recommended that the British Mandate be lifted and that the region be divided between the two groups. Only Jerusalem and Haifa would remain under British control and would be open to international observation. The Morrison-Grady Plan recommended that Palestine be divided into four separate cantons. However, members of these commissions did not consider that the land that they were trying to divide up had belonged to the Palestinian people for centuries, and that no one had the right to force them to share it against their will. http://www.palestiniantragedy.com/judaism.html |

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Yes, the problem is that nobody bothered to ask the people already living there what they thought of the divying up of the land. And before the Palestinians, nobody bothered to ask the Jews if they wouldn't mind vacating either. The Romans were a lot less friendly about removing the Jews from their lands: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/...m/revolt1.html http://www.lamp.ac.uk/~noy/Jews16b.htm http://www.fact-index.com/s/si/simon_bar_kokhba.html The FACT that the Jews were there is a matter of historical fact of course. And the truth is, its one of those things that's happened a lot throughout history. Ethnic groups of people have been dispossessed of their lands many times in history. The Soviet Union drove all Germans from the numerous lands their ancestors had possessed for well over 1000 years. Germany has taken the loss without compensation and what was once East Prussia is still inexplicably held by Russia. Germans have left well enough alone on the matter. Last I heard, there is no a major problem with Germans blowing themselves up in the middle of Russian and Polish crowds. Tibet did not ask for China to invade them. They did not ask for their foremost religious leader to exiled. And yet, I don't know of a major problem with Tibetan peoples undertaking suicide bombing in an effort to liberate themselves. So the world is unfair at times. Still, take into account that the Muslim peoples have never made any apology for the Armenian Holocaust. If we're forcing the world to be completely fair, then let it work both ways. |

The bottom line is that rather than make peace in 1948 the palestinians went to war. They lost it. The arab nations went to war again in 1967, and lost it. you cant try to slit somones throwt and than ask for a refund. | ||||||||
