Why is is that Israel should have to move?
The whole idea is unworkable. How would you sugest removing nearly 8 million people and relocating them elsewhere? Most of that 8 million were born in Israel after 1947. Do you think they will just pack their belongings and go quietly? I think the majority of them would rather die or see the world in flames than give up an inch of land.

You do know that the size of a nation's acreage has no bearing on its impact in the world, right? Further, stolen goods are stolen goods - it doesn't matter if I steal your VW beetle or your Hummer, i've still stolen your car, right? Same with land.

Modern day jews aren't the people of the bible(Israelites).
"A brief History of the Terms for Jew" in the 1980 Jewish Almanac is the following: "STRICTLY SPEAKING IT IS INCORRECT TO CALL AN ANCIENT ISRAELITE A ‘ JEW' OR TO CALL A CONTEMPORARY JEW AN ISRAELITE OR A HEBREW." (1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3).
Encyclopedia Britannica (15th edition):
"Khazars, confederation of Turkic and Iranian tribes that established a major commercial empire in the second half of the 6th century, covering the southeastern section of modern European Russia...In the middle of the 8th century the ruling classes adopted Judaism as their religion."
The Jewish Encyclopedia:
"KHAZARS, A NON‑SEMITIC, Asiatic, Mongolian tribal nation who emigrated into Eastern Europe about the first century, who were converted as an entire nation to Judaism in the seventh century by the expanding Russian nation which absorbed the entire Khazar population, and who account for the presence in Eastern Europe of the great numbers of Yiddish‑speaking Jews in Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Galatia, Besserabia and Rumania.
New Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume VIII, page 173 relates:
"The Khazars were an ethnic group, belonging to the Turkish peoples, who, toward the end of the 2d century of the Christian Era, had settled in the region between the Caucasus and the lower Volga and Don Rivers...At the beginning of the 8th century, dynastic ties bound the Khazars more closely to Constantinople, which led to a limited spread of Christianity among them. They also became acquainted with Judaism from the numerous Jews who lived in the Crimea and along the Bosphorus. When the Byzantine Emperor, Leo the Isaurian, persecuted the Jews in A.D. 723, many Jews found refuge in the Khazar kingdom, and THEIR INFLUENCE WAS SO GREAT THAT, AROUND THE MIDDLE OF THE 8th CENTURY, THE KING OF THE KHAZARS AND MANY OF THE KHAZAR NOBILITY ACCEPTED THE JEWISH FAITH.
So IMO they have no right to the land. Down with Israeli regimeedit on 27-11-2011 by biggmoneyme because: (no reason given)
Right, but permit me to refute your claim. In 70 A.D. when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem because of the rebellion of the time (possible the macabee revolt) 1.5 million jews were slaughtered. As Titus sacked Jerusalem and laid siege to the city there were jews who tried to surrender and they were all killed to a man. The only jews that escaped being killed were the judeo-christians who fled into the wilderness before the siege because of the prophecy Jesus foretold them of the destruction of jerusalem some 47 years earlier and ofcourse the 100 thousand jewish slaves taken into captivity by the legionaires and shipped to Rome. The decendants of those captured jews are who became the ashkenazi jews that settled in Russia and later immigrated to Germany when Russia exiled them to Germany. The decendants of the judeo-christians who escaped became the sephardim jews who dwelled in that region since the destruction of Jerusalem to current times.
i stopped reading when i got to " the prophecy Jesus foretold".. good day
