Politically, the occupied territories do not belong to Israel, yet they treat it as though it does. Such self justification is a shameful way to live. The Geneva Convention and basic human rights means nothing to Israel. Shame on them.

dAlen you're simplifying the conflict in the wrong direction. The meaning of Israel to the Jews is "Never Again."

Verfed, you say that possession is the final answer as to who owns the land. On a purely hypothetical consideration, if I was to somehow magically remove every Jewish person from Israel and transport them against their will, to, oh say... Switzerland, would you then fight to get the land in the mid east back? Given that I would now possess the land and could give it to someone else who would then possess it, would you fight to get it back?
I assume that you would indeed fight to get it back, and there for, the Arabic families who owned the property until it was illegally taken from them, also have the same reason as you claim, to fight for their land. There is one difference in that they have legal claim to the land. The world does not recognize the occupied territories as a legal part of Israel.
The sad truth is that Israel is the worlds biggest welfare state. Israel could not exist if it was not for massive outside financial support. If that financial support ended tomorrow, how long do you think Israel could continue to oppress its Arab population?

dAlen those rabbis are against Zionism for religious reasons. They say the Messiah should be the one to set up the New Israel not the people.

Hatikva was written in 1892 and The Jewish State was written in 1896. Zionism didn't start because of the Holocaust.

Once again a religious reason. They believe God punished the Jews because of Zionism.
1. IS IT TRUE that in 1941 and again in 1942, the German Gestapo offered all European Jews transit to Spain, if they would relinquish all their property in Germany and Occupied France; on condition that:
a) none of the deportees travel from Spain to Palestine; and
b) all the deportees be transported from Spain to the USA or British colonies, and there to remain; with entry visas to be arranged by the Jews living there; and
c) $1000.00 ransom for each family to be furnished by the Agency, payable upon the arrival of the family at the Spanish border at the rate of 1000 families daily.
2. IS IT TRUE that the Zionist leaders in Switzerland and Turkey received this offer with the clear understanding that the exclusion of Palestine as a destination for the deportees was based on an agreement between the Gestapo and the Mufti.
3. IS IT TRUE that the answer of the Zionist leaders was negative, with the following comments:
a) ONLY Palestine would be considered as a destination for the deportees.
b) The European Jews must accede to suffering and death greater in measure than the other nations, in order that the victorious allies agree to a "Jewish State" at the end of the war.
c) No ransom will be paid
4. IS IT TRUE that this response to the Gestapo's offer was made with the full knowledge that the alternative to this offer was the gas chamber.
5. IS IT TRUE that in 1944, at the time of the Hungarian deportations, a similar offer was made, whereby all Hungarian Jewry could be saved.
6. IS IT TRUE that the same Zionist hierarchy again refused this offer (after the gas chambers had already taken a toll of millions).
7. IS IT TRUE that during the height of the killings in the war, 270 Members of the British Parliament proposed to evacuate 500,000 Jews from Europe, and resettle them in British colonies, as a part of diplomatic negotiations with Germany.
8. IS IT TRUE that this offer was rejected by the Zionist leaders with the observation "Only to Palestine!"
9. IS IT TRUE that the British government granted visas to 300 rabbis and their families to the Colony of Mauritius, with passage for the evacuees through Turkey. The "Jewish Agency" leaders sabotaged this plan with the observation that the plan was disloyal to Palestine, and the 300 rabbis and their families should be gassed.
10. IS IT TRUE that during the course of the negotiations mentioned above, Chaim Weitzman, the first "Jewish statesman" stated: "The most valuable part of the Jewish nation is already in Palestine, and those Jews living outside Palestine are not too important". Weitzman's cohort, Greenbaum, amplified this statement with the observation "One cow in Palestine is worth more than all the Jews in Europe".

Why the hell would god punish somebody, do you people even think?
Originally posted by DJMessiahSo who does this land belong to now? No one but the people who were there first, even before the Jews (race) - the Lebanese. Since there is little to no slavery and opposition left in the world that is forced upon Abraham's lineage, the land is not needed any longer and has served it's purpose.

Why indeed.
God is awful quiet...about a lot of things.
I have had no reason to believe that a being "god" even exist.
Sure we as humans kill at the drop of a hat cause God gave us land.
Then let God be big enough, pun intended, to step up and speak for itself for once.
I will tell you why it doesnt.
God is like in Greek mythology. Silent. Pontus, the original "Sea God" was one of the weakest of the sea Gods. In Fact Posideon, had nothing to do with the sea, not to the extent in the geneology tree of the gods that Pontus did, yet he was powerful.
Called evolution. The whole thing of Cronus castrating Uranus and taking over, then Zeus over Cronus...as we evolve the new throws out the old.
Or in a "Jewish Sense", God is Ayn Sof...you cant know it, and it is all. If you call the manifistation God it is idolotry as one aspect is not all of God. (unless you go into the hologram theory that one piece has all the parts of the pic in it, anyway, its late and my post are starting to show.)
Peace
dAlen

There is no god? Mythology? That makes no sense at all.
