Instead, I leave you with a couple of links regarding the history of Palestine and allow you to make your own choice.

Flame me if you want, -1 my karma if you want (just be a man and leave a reason and name).  This debate is open to serious discussion only.  Please don't resort to the "anti-semitic" line, instead, leave facts (not opinions) as to why you feel the way you do.

this is a bad poll...it doesn't have the option like the jews because they were there a lot earlier than the arabs....and how about when we put the jews into palistine they fought a war against most of the middle east for the land and the jews kicked the arabs ass...so the jews should have it since they fought the arabs for it and won
if you really think that advance war tech. against rocks is a kick ass ... that's describes how flat you are !!!

The Battles and wars I remember Israel fighting v Arab states,  48/67/73, the tech was mostly on par and in some cases superiority went to either side. Israel used the David v Goliath concept and hit the giant in the eye then cut off its head. They also used superior generalship in out manuevering large formations, showing up where they weren't expected. When you look at the numbers it blows the tech v tech argument out of the water. Generalship wins the wars. The rocks thrown at tanks in civil unrest isn't the same thing.

And your point is? It s agood find but rmember the last paragraph (I'm surprised they included it) He is a advocate for one side of the story. His arguments are like hearing only one side in a court trial, meaningless but compelling. When you investigate both sides they all pretty much suck at being nice neighbors!

I am getting the feeling that international law has big chunks missing...  but i guess politicians need something to do to justify their paycheck.

I dont have a point, I am just posting a relevant link. Trying to cover both sides in a media age where an opinion is more important than the facts.

this is exctally what i always say, "i just dont know why they cant all share that land, it is very important to both religious groups."

God promised Abraham the land of milk and honey to his children.

Abraham had two sons: Isaac and Ishmael.

From Isaac came the Israelites.  From Ishmael came the Arab race and the religion of Islam.

Therefore, both the Israelites and the Muslims have a legitimate claim to the land.  This is why there is conflict there and there likely always will be.

I hope this answers your question....

Read this to see the Muslim explanation

No, both have a religious connection to the land.  Some Jews decided this was important enough to kill innocent civilians.

Some muslims decided it was important enough to blow themselves up over.

EDIT

I have the solution.

The Holy Land. Give them half and half.

I think the Israelis and Palestinians should open a forum and start flaming threads in the internet instead of flaming flesh...while we here have solved nothing either at least nobody died doing it.

Thanks to those who provided links I am a bit more aware today than I was last week.
