Because it was originaly theirs,then shouldnt america be given back to the nativve americans,and africa to the blacks,and australia to the mouris?And if your reason is that it was appointed to them by god them bear in mind 2 things. Religion is subjective and god originally created the world much different to what it is today. Does it really make sense spend countless lives reversing history? Y?

First of all Africa WAS given back to the blacks from about 1945 to the 70s. I don't think there's too many European colonies in there anymore.
As for the Indians and the aborigines, yes we did technically steal their land a long time ago. We beat them by brute force just like you beat the Israelis by brute force in the 700s. Today in the US the Indians have reservations and casinos, but many of them still live below the poverty line because our country is run by greedy corpies. But on the flip side the Indians today have houses, cars, electricity, and all the other wonderful technologies that came out of our "evil" Western society.
In the Middle Ages when the Arabs conquered the Israelis it wasn't because they had trains or guns or any other kind of supreme technical advantage. It was simply a matter of brute force and in some instances genocide. The Israelis on the other hand got their country back from the Arabs by PAYING for land. This was a very small piece and covered only about 1/6 of the land once known as Palestine. Most of it is already controlled by the Arabs because Palestine was Israel AND Jordan. Nobody GAVE it back to the Israelis and they certainly didn't steal it or attack it. They BOUGHT it from you with MONEY. This is how things get done in modern, civilized society and its why our cultures don't have Mormon militias or Hasidic death squads. Its called progress, and cultures that move in a forward direction are the reason we have things like ooooh I dunno, the alphabet? You know who invented that? The Israelis, about 3000 years ago when they were still slaves of the Egyptians. They're still inventing stuff and advancing our culture through comedy as well as science. Arab culture, meanwhile, seems to produce little else besides violence and death. The bottom line is Israeli culture HAS moved into this millenium and the Arab culture is mentally about the same today as it was when they first drove the "Zionists" out in 722 AD.

First of all I should point out that the Maoris are natives of New Zealand not Austrailia the Aborigines are actually the natives of Austrailia. Im afraid to say that Palestine is not a real country it was a name given to Judea by the Romans. Too try and weaken the Jews loyalty it was named after the Phillistines I think although im not sure who were one of the Jews enemies. Anyway the Koran does not mention Judea as a holy site to Muslims. Im afraid to say that I believe that Pa;lestine as you call it belongs too us Jews as well as all of ancient Judea

You forget it, God gave Israel the title to that land, He did not give America a title, nor Africa, Or Australia, Nor the Palestians

Why? I am sorry and I mean no ill to anyone but why?
The world is so small... soon with so many people being born all the time, where could we put them all?
So why does it matter where someone is now?
After all we soon will be one on top of the other

Palestine no more belongs to the jews than the Sudetenland belonged to Nazi Germany.
There's enough land to share it equitably: the Palestinians get the entire West Bank and Gaza Strip, and the jews get the rest. The Palestinians (and ALL muslim groups) have been willing to accept that agreement since 1967, despite the lies you hear in the US media.
The problem is, the jews want the complete ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians from all of Palestine, and the west is willing to go along with it. Israel is unwilling to accept any other result: they want to either drive them out, burn them out, or kill them. The concept of peace is beyond Israel's comprehension.

Good idea, give America back to the Indians, and look how the crime rate would drop if we sent all the blacks back to Africa instead of putting them in prison.

Firstly it is Israel, not palestine! Secondly, the palestinians never ever had the land of Israel and they never will have the land! Israel belongs to the Jews and G-d will make sure to keep it that way!

You make good points. That's why Israel should not be returned to the Palestinians.
