I mean, come on, it never really belonged to them in the first place...

Maybe we could move the Gaza Strip to Montana... yeah... make "New Israel" in Montana... there's nothing out there anyway.

Yes, give the Jews another tract of land... far away from any Muslims, to keep BOTH sides out of further trouble!!! As for the Palestinians, "Israel" is THEIR land, no matter what it says in some old manuscript!

First off....Israel was never "given" to us. We fought for it. We won. You lost.
2nd.....%40 of Israeli property was owned by Jews BEFORE it was a Jewish state. Before we became the Government, Muslims were happy to take our money, and sell us their worthless property.
3rd....There have ALWAYS been Jews in israel.....we were there before you were Muslims.
4th....There is a Palestine.....it's called Jordan. They...and other Arab states...don't want the refugees (half of whom are not, nor are they descended from, arabs who lived in Israel).
5th. America supports Israel because it is in American interests to do so. We get a reliable, western, democratic Government in a region filled with dictatorships, extremists, and theocracies. Israel is who stopped Iraqi production of nuclear weapons in 86'. Israel gave us more functional intelligence about the USSR (including an entire mig) then the CIA...ACCORDING to the CIA.
6th. No country on this earth has borders that weren;t created by war and conquest. The Arab states attacked Israel and lost. Israeli counter-attacks secured land that was used as invasion routes. How do we ask Israel to give back territory when we control Mexico?
Hasalam a Lakem (or however it's spelled).

Weather it says that Israel is the land of the Jews in the bible or not, the fact still remains that most of what is now Israel was property taken from its legal Palestinian owners. My grandfather was forced to leave his home and lands when Israel was created, and my family legally owns huge properties in Israel which we are not allowed to approach. Of coarse I'm not saying kick all the Jews out, but at least give the legal owners some form of compensation for steeling their lands.

The guy above must not know that over 2000 prophesies have been fulfilled from 'that old book'. So why don't you take a peek just to see what happens to those who go against Israel - just for fun. Israel will be saved by God though it's attackers will come from all over and cause much bloodshed.

it never belonged to us in the first place? jews have lived continuously in israel for thousands of years. at times we were the majority, more often we were not. yet of all the people in the middle east who have come and gone from that area, the jews are the ones who stayed and have been there for millennia. but somehow we have no claim to it, and people who have only been there for a matter of centuries have ALL the claim to it?

"We" shouldn't do anything. "We" have already caused too much trouble in the world.
Israel should give the Palestinians their fair share of land. And Palestinians should accept it.
I guess the "fair" thing to do would be to allow Palestine and Israel become one, and have unified government. But that will never happen. That would be like the US giving Mexico and the Indians their land back.

Nah. Take the Baja Peninsula away from Mexico and give it to Israel.

It isnt' ours to give back. It wasn't ours to give to the Jews in the first place. If anyone deserves to have their land taken away its the Germans. Why doesn't Germany give them land for what they didn to them. Why are we letting so much chaos go on just so they can live in a place their ancestors did 2000 years ago? Its nuts

The people of Israel belong to God and they are scattered around the globe. The nation of Israel belongs to the world.

No, we should give Palestine back to the Palestinians. The Jews can make Israel in America, or Palestine or Europe, where ever they want, but not as an independant state.
