Are you saying "do Jews have any right to a state"? Isn't that what homeland means? If so, the UN in 1947 passed a mandate that Israel should exist for the Jews. Do you have a problem with them? By the way I'm NOT Jewish but I do admire the Israelies at least they mean what they say and don't just rattle sabres.

Yes they do! If any other race has a right to have a homeland in the Middle East, why can't the Jews? They have been persecuted for many generations, even centuries, they should have every right to have a homeland! They should have the right to have a homeland in the middle east because of their strong religious beliefs. They have as much right as the Muslims etc. do. In fact, they are now willing to even give away some of their land to neighboring countries-handing over settlements in 2005. They are very thankful to have a land in the Middle East and the only reason that there is continuous conflict, is because no one leaves each other alone!

The land flowing with milk and honey (Israel), was promised to The Jews by God, there are countless Biblical references to this fact. Also, after the Holocaust, the United Nations realised the need for a Jewish homeland, so in 1948 they gave the Jews the land of Israel, and David Ben Gurion was appointed its first Prime Minister. So yes, I believe the Jews have the right to a homeland in the Middle East.

Does anyone have a right to a Homeland? After all the Human race was to start with a hunter gatherer speices and had no Homeland, it was only later did they start putting down so called roots.
As for the Jewish area, well why not? They have been there for thousands of years so if that is not a claim to an area, no one has much chance.

They have the right of conquest, as does every other nation on this planet. Name one that hasn't taken a little piece from someone else. They stole the land fair and square, they can keep it until someone else takes it.
Do the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Normans have the right to dominion over the British Isles? Do the European refugees have the right to rule North America. Do the descendants of Spanish Conquistadores have the right to any of South and Central America. Should France be divided up amongst the Visigoths, Burgundians, and Franks? Or should it all be given back to the Gauls?
I could carry on for hours, but I think the point is made well enough. Pick a time in history when you think all peoples of the world are living where they should be and we can "freeze" national borders as they were then.
Now, get over it or enlist in the Jordanian army, so you can help take back the "occupied" lands.

None whatsoever,any idiot that goes on about the bible and thousands of years is obviously not reading the bit about thou should not steal.Every time an Israeli tank goes forward there are a dozen Jews following it to see who's land they can steal.They are living on borrowed time.If it was anyone else it would be called ethnic cleansing.The USA just agrees with anything that they do because they finance so many American politicians.Saddam invades Kuwait lets go to war.Israel invades Lebanon that's OK.Israel builds nuclear plants and bombs that's OK.Israel imprisons their own people for speaking to western newspapers that's OK.

The Jews deserved Germany. That would have been justice. They were placed in the middle east out of spite and have managed to make a go of it.

Where is Jerusalem again? Oh yeah the middle east. Gosh what are we talking about here, a chunk of desert about the size of two football fields, surrounded by 100's of 1,000's of square miles of Arab lands. C'mon, let them have one little piece of heaven in the desert for God's sake ok? Then maybe the world can live in peace. You know, all the religions being tolerant and accepting of each other, what a concept

To milly w,
Have you ever read the bible? You make it sound like the jews living side by side with others in the middle east/Africa/Asia minor was a day at friendship park together. They fought then, too. My goodness at the very least rent the cartoon movie about Moses.
