Did you know that there was no Palestine from Biblical times, but there was an Israel? Did you know that Palestine has never been an actual country but instead a perpetual colony?
Did you also know that Jerusalem is mentioned in Jewish scriptures 657 times?
Did you know it is not mentioned in the Koran once?

Prior to 1947 there was no Israel. But there was one back in biblical times.

While we're at it, let's bring the Turks into it - they have as good a claim to the place as any.
Honestly, what can anyone possibly hope to gain from pointless debates about who the land is entitled to? It's absurd.
Rather than bashing each other over the head with holy books and self-righteousness, these people had better sit down and figure out how they can live together - or they will fall off the cliff together, and drag much of the rest of the world with them.
But then, putting down the holy books and talking has been altogether rare in the last, say, 4000 years.

What Ross says is the only way to go!!
all the war has to stop!
how can i ever go & visit all those beautiful biblical places with war raging on all the time ?
They are all losing tourist dollars because of all the fighting
they all could be rich if they wake up to themselves
They are all humans & should just forget the past & learn to forgive & start having meaninful lives without all the hate & killing

Nor was there a state of Palestine.....what's your point?
At least there has been a nation of Israel on that land in recorded history. There has never been a nation of palestine, ever, and a palestinian arab 'national identity' did not exist until the early 1960s.

It is a Quranic prophecy, it had to exist:
[Quran 17:4] And We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Scripture: indeed you would
do mischief in the land twice and you will become tyrants and extremely arrogant!
[Quran 17:5] So, when the promise came for the first of the two, We sent against you slaves of Ours given to terrible warfare. They entered the very innermost parts of your homes. And it was a promise (completely) fulfilled.
[Quran 17:6] Then We gave you a return of victory over them. And We helped you with wealth and children and made you more numerous in man-power.
[Quran 17:7] (And We said): "If you do good, you do good for your own selves, and if you do evil (you do it) against yourselves." Then, when the second promise came to pass, (We permitted your enemies) to disgrace your faces and to enter the mosque (of Jerusalem) as they had entered it before, and to destroy with utter destruction all that fell in their hands.

Ummmm yea, thats why they had one of the quickest wars ever to establish the state. Did you know that surrounding Arab countries treat Palastinian refugees with greater distain and more violence than the Israelites.....
