First we must recall that the only place in the world today called Palestine is a city in Texas. There was a place with that name, but in 1948 it became Israel.
Then in 1964 a "Palestinian people" was invented, for the sole purpose of attaining the destruction of Israel.
The concept of "Palestinians" is one that did not exist until about 1964, when the Arab inhabitants, of what until then was Palestine, wished to differentiate themselves from the Jews. Until then, the Jews were the Palestinians. There was the Palestinian Brigade of Jewish volunteers in the British World War II Army (at a time when the Palestinian Arabs were in Berlin hatching plans with Adolf Hitler for world conquest and how to kill all the Jews); there was the Palestinian Symphony Orchestra (all Jews, of course); there was The Palestine Post; and so much more.
The Arabs who now call themselves "Palestinians" do so in order to persuade a misinformed world that they are a distinct nationality and that "Palestine" is their ancestral homeland. But they are no distinct nationality at all. They are the same - in language, custom, and tribal and family ties - as the Arabs of Syria, Jordan, and beyond. There is no more difference between the "Palestinians" and the other Arabs of those countries than there is between, say, the citizens of Minnesota and those of Wisconsin.
What's more, many of the "Palestinians", or their immediate ancestors, came to the area attracted by the prosperity created by the Jews, in what previously had been pretty much of a wasteland.

It s really simple after the war the Jews needed a country and so the British who colonized Palestine at the time gave them Palestine so in 1948 the Palestinians and the Jews went to war and finally the Jews with America and Britain's help won the war took most of Palestine, ran out over 400 villages and called it Israel.In 1949 the U.N created a law against countries creating pre-emptive wars against another country . If they did attack another country pre-emptivly then the land that was confiscated would have to be returned because it is illegal.
In 1967, Israel attacked the Palestinians again to take the rest of their land and they(Israel) won that war but the land they took was illegal and now they call it the occupied territories.Israel even today still confiscates Palestinian land, kick them out of their homes and then build settlements there.According to all human rights groups that were there Palestinians are deprived the basic human rights with no accountability.

This "Jew" whom "pmt psycho miss" refers to is an anti-Zionist, anti-Israel, anti-Jewish weirdo, who has no support among Jews, Israelis, Zionists or Arabs. And the reason? He is nuts!
Thousands of years before the Romans invented "Palastina" the land had been known as "Canaan". The Canaanites had many tiny city-states, each one at times independent and at times a vassal of an Egyptian or Hittite king. The Canaanites never united into a state.
After the Exodus from Egypt probably in the Thirteenth Century BC but perhaps earlier -- , the Children of Israel settled in the land of Canaan. There they formed first a tribal confederation, and then the biblical kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and the post-biblical kingdom of Judea.
From the beginning of history to this day, Israel-Judea has the only united, independent, sovereign nation-state that ever existed in "Palestine" west of the Jordan River. (In biblical times, Ammon, Moab and Edom as well as Israel had land east of the Jordan, but they disappeared in antiquity and no other nation took their place until the British invented Trans-Jordan in the 1920s.)

The Palestinians are the ones suffering... they have been deprived, and are living in poverty, while the Israelis continue to oppress them; they receive the means to do so from none other than the United States, which allocates for them some 3 or 4 billion dollars annually, on average.
What the Israelis are doing is truly sickening; they de-humanize the Palestinians, take aim at women and children, cut off their food and water supplies...
And yet all the American media reports is the workings of Hamas and the like. Tell me, if your land was robbed from you, your people slaughtered, your life destroyed, wouldn't you have anger towards the enemy?

House of Representatives approves allocation of 2.46 billion to Israel, the largest sum received by any country annually. Why? Supposedly so that the US can have a "friend" in the Middle East. Since when does the US need to give a country 2.46 BILLION a year for our defense? Have someone throw you out of your home and take everything you have and see if you think the Palestinians got a fair deal.

That it won't end with peace accords or UN sanctions. The only way it will ever end is if one side completely eradicates the other.
