Would you accept if a country (lets say Russia) set up a country for the Native Americans in the USA, and told all Americans that they should all live in Florida, and be contempt with that?
Maybe the Native Americans would offer you a bit of Texas too, if you refused would you be out of order?
If someone said he wanted to remove this new Native American country from the face of the earth (not the people) whould he be a mad man?

The jews were not there first. If you want to play that childish game, remember that Moses lead the jews there, and there were people already there

Interesting point. I've always thought that the establishment of the State of Israel was one of the dumbest, short-sighted actions ever, and that Zionism is an insipid form of racism.
That being said, Israel is there now, and they're not going away. The sooner that people realize that, the sooner we'll be able to build a lasting peace.

Nice analogy, but yes I would accept that, Colonizers acted in a Monstrous way toward the natives. Not to mention, as has already been pointed out, that you're blowing the size of their country extremely out of proportion. The colonizing of America was basically a genocide against the natives, so I really don't support my own country's existance, And that is what Israel's neighbor's are trying to do to it. After all the blood baths in which Native American blood was spilled, I think anyone wanted to remove the new Native American state would have to be at least a narcissistic pig, believing his own country was ALWAYS right.

Great points.
As long as you realize that the Jews possessed the land long before there was such a thing as a "Palestinian," and they never relinquished the land to anyone else.
The United Nations restored the land of Israel to its rightful owners.
About 1000 B.C., King David bought Ornan's threshingfloor (2Chronicles 21), and that Biblical record serves as a title deed to that parcel of land, upon which Jerusalem now sits.
The land wasn't called Palestine until after the time of Christ, 1,070 years later in the days following Titus' destruction of Jerusalem. The name change was an attempt to blot out any memory of the Jews living in the land. Yet, there have always been a remnant of Jews living in Israel.

Look, if you really think you can move Israel out, keep trying. But quit complaining about how awful the results of trying makes it for the Palestinians. They really would be so much better off if everyone just got over it.
There are similarities in America. Mexico still thinks they should own Texas. They are at least bright enough to know when they can't win. You can find disputes in nearly every country out there. Most of them just don't resort to targeting civilians as a matter of policy.

I'm not as versed in the history of the Jews and Arabs as I should be, but as far as I know the Jews used to live there and their land was originally taken by the Arabs. After all, the Jews have many temples in Jerusalem. The Arabs have Mecca and Medina. Let the Jews have their only holy city, Jerusalem. As I said though, I am no expert on the subject.

Your analogy is rather inappropriate since America was taken from Native Americans as was South America, Canada, actually most of the Western Hemisphere. And the Israelis are being threathened with genocide so maybe you need another question.

Your anology makes no sense. Remember Israel is only about the size of Rhode Island.
You make a false assumption also that Palestine is a state. It is not. Israel is a sovereign nation and can do what it wills. No other state is claiming the land, only religious fanatics.
Israel has a claim to that land because it was granted by God himself, the supreme authority, enough said. If you dont believe him, youre not going to believe any human.

Hello, the Jews were given the land of Israel by God, no comparison;
I myself disagree as an American, what King James did!

If the United States entered into an unjust war of aggression, lost that war, lost a substantial amount of land as a consequence of their defeat, then the Russian victors would be allowed to do whatever they want with that land.
