I have some questions relating back to the creation of the country of Israel, and it's designation of a "State for the Jewish people to call home"
WHY?
Why should 1 particular group of people get a piece of land "given" to them via treaty and declaration? Are there not other groups of people, indigenous or not, as worthy based on religions or regional discrimination as the Jews to get a country of their own?
I guess in a nutshell, the question is- why was 1 single group of people given so much while others are ignored?

The fact is that the land of Israel has changed hands many times throughout history .. the early israelites were there long long before the 1940s.. we're talking 1200 BCE .. then it was under Persian rule around 538 BCE.. they've been pushed out numerous times.. the land was also under Roman rule ( when it became known as Palaestina ), Byzantine rule... it became under Arab rule in the middle ages around the year 636 until around 1096.. then the Christians took it during the crusades .. Ottoman rule went from the 16th to the 19th century.. ( Syria basically ) ..
So Israelites were there first.. they've been butted out quite a bit .. Arab rule didn't come around until 636edit on 10/3/2012 by miniatus because: (no reason given)

Here's a popular pro-Palestinian line of logic. Who lived there in the past is not relevant, only who is there now. If we look at the past Jews certainly have history on the land. If we look in the present, they have a claim there too. So you should avoid that line of reasoning. Instead let's work with what we have. That can only be done when Palestinians choose peace over terror.

If Palestinians want peace they can stop terror related attacks. If Iran wants to speak it can stop funding and supporting terrorists. Not much else to say. Oh and your thread will be popular, the anti-Israel crowd is big here.

Iran should have a nuke so they can defend themselves while
blowing Israel off the map..
I think logic tells me they are developing weapons to kill people..
Logic fails as soon as Ahmadinejad opens his mouth.
The rest of it falls into those same lies, out context interpretations and the usual exaggerations, while exonerating every other part of the equation.
“Study some history.”
“Palestine agreed to peace terms but Israel didn't honor the agreement.”
“And you may as well lay off the anti Israeli whine just because people want to see the government of Israel held accountable for the crimes it commits doesn't mean they are anti Israel.”
So you think all the Palestinians just decided to leave their homes and farms that had been in their family for generations? An estimated 5 million people have had their homes and land stolen from them.

More lies ha Mr buster ?
The 1948 Palestinian exodus, known in Arabic as the Nakba (Arabic: النكبة, an-Nakbah, lit. "disaster", "catastrophe", or "cataclysm"),[1] occurred when approximately 711,000 to 725,000 Palestinian Arabsleft, fled or were expelled from their homes

Not millions ha ?
Read all about it:

You know, It's hard to take someone seriously when he uses Hitler's quote as his signature.
Hitler also said, “The bigger the lie, the more it will be believed.”
It's apparent you are using the same tactic over and over again.
