So now many of these 'crack' and 'elite' Iranians are leaving the country to push the offensive onto the Americans, who is going to attack invading forces in Iran with said crack squads leaving?

britian looked upon it favorably, yet they offered kenya first. im still waiting for why they didnt take kenya?
Please provde a link to back up your claims.
also they started immigrating there. so i guess if alot of americans migrated to canada then canada will eventually be turned into american land by this logic. just because enough people move there does not mean that now it should be their land.
So by right then the Native Americans/Austrailians should be able to have their land back? Because at the end of the day you are all still British? Of course not.
but anyway, why did they not take kenya? they wanted a jewish state, why didnt they take that? because they lived in israel 2000 years ago? because they have enough people in israel to call it theirs? i dont get it, why didnt they take kenya if they wanted there own state?
You get offered land in your ancestors country and your own holy place, linking it to religion, and you turn it down for.. Kenya?! Right i'm sure many would do the same! The land was there and up for grabs.. many Arabs moved to the area to recieve medical care and live close because the Jews improved the area and settled.. what because the land was now improved people want it back?? Well I say the Indians should claim their land by right back, it's a simililar situation.

thanks knights for proving you dont read my posts, if you did you would see i had already provided proof that britian offered the jewish people eastern kenya first, and they declined it because they wanted israel.
also when it comes to war, yes then you take what you please, just be aware that your at war. you dont take their land then complain that they are attacking you. thats stupidity. youve claimed war on them by taking their land, regardless of what you want to call it thats what you did. in doing so you started a war. im tired of people complaining about terrorist and all, when we started this war by making sure the jewish people got israel. go back and read the article i posted. maybe you will read it this time and see the US backed them all the way to make sure they got israel. we started a war yet now we are angry that they fight back.
whether you want to start a war is completely up to you, just as long as you acknowledge you did start a war. you dont start a war, take the land, then complain when they fight back at you.
Muslim Professor: Koran agrees that Holy Land is Jewish
June 6, 2004
Prof. Khaleel Mohammed, Assistant Professor at the Department of Religious Studies at San Diego State University, is the latest Muslim expert to say that the Koran - the holiest Muslim work - is actually Zionist.
In an interview with Jamie Glazov of FrontPageMagazine.com (June 3, 2004), Mohammed quoted the Koran (5:20-21) as saying: "Moses said to his people: O my people! Remember the bounty of God upon you when He bestowed prophets upon you, and made you kings and gave you that which had not been given to anyone before you amongst the nations. O my people! Enter the Holy Land which God has written for you, and do not turn tail, otherwise you will be losers."
Mohammed emphasized that the above phrase, "God has written for you," is very significant: "In both Jewish and Islamic understandings of the term 'written,' there is the meaning of finality, decisiveness, and immutability...So the simple fact is then, from a faith-based point of view: If God has 'written' Israel for the people of Moses, who can change this?" He also quoted two of Islam's most famous exegetes - Ibn Kathir and Muhammad al-Shawkani - as supporting this explanation.

I do not intend this argument to hold any power as religion is different from a physical entity.. but stil shows that even the Koran holds information dictating who the land belongs to.

why shouldnt they have taken kenya?
why shouldnt they have taken kenya?
doesnt matter how many people were there, just because less people were there doesnt make it right. doesnt mean that since there wasnt that many people that these people should let their land be taken.
it doesnt matter how many people were living there, its still an invasion.
the jewish people got their land taken, they should have fought back like the palestinians are now(not necessarily suicide bombings but fight as in take back their land) they didnt and that was their choice.
