First of all the Palastinians wasn't there first. Isreal was there first, you know of Solomons temple? Whats on top of it? The dome of the rock this proves the Jews were there first.
The only proof you can provide about palastinians people living their first is old maps that have the land Isreal has now now labeled as Palastine. However if you go even farther back you will find older maps that have it called Isreal or Judah. The reason this happen is that a roman general hated the Jews so much that he ordered all the maps to be named after the Jews enemies philistia. As you can see Isreal was there first.
Isreal gave Palestine Gaza, West Bank, and Joint Control of Jerusalam. They tried to do this to make peace but the palestinians are not happy still and would like to see the Jews whiiped off the map.
The fact is you guys started it and Isreal has tried their best to get along with you. They have tried to make peace time and time again but groups like Hamas would start launching missles killing innocent Isreali people and when Isreal retaliates palestinians then run tries to make Isreal look like the bad guys.
BTW Oldguy is right they are the aggressors
Also Christians are commanded to support Isreal. The love that Christians are showing Isreal is growing more and more. This is no doubt the work of God. He made a covenant the the Hebrew people and God always keeps his promise.
@above post the transalation for the verse you are refering to in Exodus is a common mistransalation. It should have been thou shalt not murder. This was fixed in alot of new transalations such as the NIV. The KJV is one that has this error in it.

If by opression you mean Israel prevents them from killing The jewish people,No, it is called self defense and all the sane people of the world supports Self defense by all law abiding people. If the palestinian people want peace, Quit killing The Israeli people. If you leave Israel alone I have no doubt they would leave you alone. Palestine and others have sworn to anilate israel,they are lucky Israel does not strike first. The un should pass international law,making it a crime to threaten Genocide.

I don't think most Christians see Israel as an oppressor of Palestinians. I know Palestinians would like us to think that, but most of us see the Palestinians as the aggressors and Israel defending themselves and their country. I think if they left Israel alone, Israel would leave them alone.
