My point: Nothing Israel has done since 1948 has been right.

The exact same way the people of Palestine feel. I have MUCH compassion for the Palestinians. If they do not stand up for themselves and fight for THEIR homeland who will? If the rest of the world would wake up and realize the horrible wrong that is taking place in "Israel" they would quickly understand why the Palestinians fight they way they do. How can sticks and stones stand up to tanks and machine guns? These people have been reduced to the level of animals BECAUSE NO ONE IS WILLING TO LISTEN TO THEM AND HELP THEM.

Israel and Palestine have been debating and fighting over the land in question since the time of David. The Palestinians were originally called "Philistines" in fact the Arabic word is still "Philistini"
It's been being "ripped away" back and forth for many centuries.
The Palestinians won it at the end of the Crusades but eventually lost it to the English. The English after WWII GAVE the land away to the Hebrews for a new Israel. Soooo now the Palestinians are trying to take it back. "So who has claim to Jerusalem? None have claim. ALL HAVE CLAIM!"
-Kingdom of Heaven.

Well I sure would not destroy all that was built on the desert lands like the Palestinians did when they were given back the land by Israel. Palestinians were traditionally nomads, correct?

The same Israel felt when they were ripped away from that land originally.
So you believe Hitler should have exterminated them all and they dont have a right to exist on the land God granted them? Nice.

If I were a Palestinian (and Thanks God I am not - just the opposite!), I would be deadly angry with my (Palestinian) leaders losing all opportunities for a settlement, sacrificing people for their personal goal (see the billions in Arafat's bank account) and leading Palestinians to nowhere.
If I were a Palestinian, I would get rid of all the Hamas, and Fatah, all the "government" (i.e. all the cheaters and corrupt bureaucrats) and I would try to seek for an agreement: getting a Palestinian state while giving up killing and destruction.
But unfortunately, as BG or MB said: "Palestinians never missed an opportunity to miss one".

Hmm, actually Russia is illegally occupying 1/4 of our original land, so yeah, Finland is pretty much in the same situation.
Some politicians take up the subject every now and then on their visits to Russia, but lets face it, the occupied part has become such a dump that it would be difficult to reintegrate it to Finland...
Not that we become terrorists, though some of us still have a bit of a latent hate against the Russians, much more so than for the Americans. It's more irrational, in a way, like its been indoctrinated to us at birth... Anyway, lets move on.

Palestinians did not have their land ripped out from under them, because there was not a Palestine to start with. Israel was in that land way before Jesus Christ was born!!!!!!!!!

The Palestinians are allowed to vote in Israel.
The Palestinians are allowed run for public office in Israel.
All they have to do is take over by running for office and change the laws. They can even change the name of Israel to Palestine if they wish.
Instead, they want to murder innocent men, women and children, and provoke retaliation.
They could rule that entire land, without killing one innocent child. Why don't they want to?

Sorry that does not fly the territory in question was owned by Great Brittan not Palestinians.They have no claim to the land what so ever.The territory was purchased By the league of nations and transferred to the Jew to establish a home so that they could no longer be persecuted and killed by other governments.And that is precisely what the Arab countries seek to do.
