I take it that the third guy is losing it.

To the last two respondents:
1. I support the two-state solution and do not believe that Israel is entitled to all of Palestine, which is why I have never agreed with the settlements and also support the return of most of the land, (excluding East Jerusalem) taken after 1967.
2. I support the existence and security of Israel and do not believe that is wrong to be a Jewish nationalist. This does not negate the possibility of a Palestinian homeland. There is a distinct Palestinian character and nationality, which is tied to religion, since they are predominantly Muslim and Arab. To oppose Jewish Israel while supporting Arab Muslim Palestine is hypocritical. I support the idea of both.

Nope,I don't think it's about religion...It's about land.Israel wants to keep occupying land from 1967 although this is illegal under international law...And the Palestinians want that land back,to form a country in the borders from 1967 ...because in 1993 they renounced at 78% of the land they were entitled according to the partition plan...all for peace and a Palestinian state...Unfortunately they got none...

No, I don't think so. The idiom "Palestinian people" used to refer to all Arabs living in Palestine; Muslims, Christians, Jews and others. It's right that Jews claim that Palestine is theirs because of religion. But I've read once that Jews believe that Palestine will be their own land without fighting and God's will is the only power which will bring the Jews back to Palestine and it's not necessary to fight. But the Zionists chose to fight. Why do they want to fight and seize lands while they can practice their religon?
I think too, that religion gives a strong motive to the people of the land to be steadfast, somethings like holy sites and especially becuase Palestine is the cradle of the religons.

Yes it Zionists used religion to create a state where religion has nothing to do with nationalism. Jews have many nationalities including the Palestinian nationality. We all know before the creation of the Zionist state we had no Muslim fundamentalist groups most were reaction to the Zionist ideology.

Obviously it is the belief by the Zionists that their sky god gave them Palestine as the promised land which is causing all the problems. The christian and muslim arabs who have been ethnically cleansed don't share thet belief.

you know, when a population is being ethnically cleansed, aren't their numbers supposed to shrink? yet the palestinian population has more than quadrupled since 1948... wow, we jews might run hollywood and the media and all the western governments, but we apparently really suck at ethnic cleansing.
