1947 - The UN approve establishing Israel while the whole time the Arab League opposes, but no one listens to them. Following Israel's establishment, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon declare war against Israel. Ever since then, you know the rest. I love Jews and Arabs but wasn't it so obvious what would happen?

Before 1948 it was - the British Empire
Before the British it was - the Ottoman Empire
Before Ottomans it was - fought over by Crusaders and Arabs
Before the Crusades it was - briefly held by Arabs
Before the Arab Jihad it was - The Byzantine Christian Empire
Before the Byzantines it was - the Roman Empire's Provence of Israel
Before the Romans it was - Israel, province of Alexandrian Greek Empire.
Before Alexander it was - Israel, province of Persian empire
Before Persia it was - Israel, province of Babylonian empire
Before Babylon it was - Israel
The Land was given to Abraham, Grandfather of Jacob/Israel

There NEVER was a nation called Palestine. Palestinians were squatters who came during the Ottoman and British empire.
The Ottomans and British NEVER flushed all the Jews out.

Never the less, Jews bought the land from Arab Palestinians who lived there at inflated prices.

The Arab Palestinians did everything possible to cheat the Jews.

Never the less, the Jews have always lived there and they have a legally binding document from the British and from the UN to form a nation.

What do the Palestinians have? No legal right to own the land. Not from the British, not from the Ottomans, not from the Romans.

Not from the Bible, which is the ultimate authority on the matter. God will give it back to the Jews.

So, does that make them "right"? No. Israel is in rebellion to God, which is why they are having trouble in the first place.

Palestine was NEVER deserted. It was rural. So was the U.S. Compare the U.S. population prior to the massive immigration from Europe in the 1880 and you will see it was also sparely populated and RURAL. Palestine was farmland. The people were farmers. That is why there is fighting. The Jews seized farmland and took the Palestinians livelihood. If they were not predominately an agricultural society the Palestinians would have ignored the Jews the same way they ignored the Turks, the British and anyone else that claimed ownership of the area. The colonial powers could call the country anything they wanted. It was not until the European Jews stole the farmland that the Palestinians fought back. The moment the Jews messed with their lands they took up arms. The Palestinian had not had problems with the Jews when they move into Jerusalem, but once they started taking farmland that was when the trouble began. Here are the population before and after the European Jews invaded Palestine. There was less than 200 Jews in Palestine before 1800. The number of Jews in Palestine reached 1500 in 1860. In 1881 the number of Jews in Palestine was 10,000. In 1900, Palestine had a population of about 600,000 of which 94% were Arabs. 1917 Total 704,000 Muslim 574,000(82%) Jewish 56,000(8%) Christian 74,000(10%) Other Unknown 1922 Total 752,048 Muslim 589,177(78%) Jewish 83,790(11%) Christian 71,464(10%) Other 7,617(1%) 1931 Total 1,036,339 Muslim 761,922(74%) Jewish 175,138(17%) Christian 89,134(9%) Other 10,145(1%) 1945 Total 1,764,520 Muslim 1,061,270(60%) Jewish 553,600(31%) Christian 135,550(8%) Other 14,100(1%) Jewish population in 1917 was 8% not 11%. The Zionist wanted Argentina. It was the British that promoted Palestine to the Jews. It started during the early 1800s when Britain was at war with France and France already had a strong hold in the Middle East. Britain wanted a secure route to India and needed a passage through the Middle East. Afraid that France would block it's passage to India, Britain tried to import Jews from Britain to Palestine. When not enough Jews immigrated to Palestine it encouraged Jews from throughout Europe to immigrate. When the Zionist movement took hold in the late 1880's, the British offered up Palestine to the Zionist with the promise of free land. The Zionist refused the British offer for nearly 50 years. If the Jews want their own land, Europe is up for grabs and they are genetically Europeans. Britain might welcome them back. Although the Jews were first expelled from England in 1290.

I think you are right but in fact the Zionists had been planning to take Palestine away from its Arab inhabitants almost from the beginning of their project and in 1948 they had attacked a lot of Arab villages and made the people into refugees even before Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon declared war.

Most Palestinians who became refugees report that before the U.N. decided to partition the land and give a lot of it away to someone else, relations between them and the Jews were pretty friendly. You might want to read some of the books by Ilan Pappe on this subject. There was a lot of business and some social interaction on a friendly basis.

U.N. negotiator Folke Bernadotte tried to negotiate peace in 1948 between Israel and the Arab states. The Arab position including Palestinians was that the refugees should be allowed to return to their villages and property and that there should be a single state with equal rights for all. Palestinians wanted it to be a democracy. Bernadotte was sympathetic to this when he saw what a humanitarian disaster had been caused by the forced exile of hundreds of thousands of people.

Bernadotte had been responsible for rescuing many from concentration camps in WWII including many Jews but the Zionists assassinated him because I guess he was a threat to the Jewish state for advocating the return of the refugees.

The Zionists confiscated all the refugee's land, property and funds. They demolished the villages so that the refugees wouldn't return and some of the land they made parks of but a lot they turned over for use exclusively by Jews.

Before 1947, Palestine is under the Caliphate of Uthmaniyyah based in Turkey. The Caliphate place a Sultan that keep the Palestinian people wether they are Muslims, Jews or Christians live peacefully. Then, Mustafa Kamal throw down the Caliphate and British assisted several Jews leader to overtake the city and claimed it as they own city.

The bottom line is : ISRAEL TOOK THE CITY BY FORCE.

Palestine lands belong to Palestinian people not the Jews , the Jews have migrated from different parts of Europe after the second world war . Israel should not be there as a nation . All Muslims get together and ruin its people forever , otherwise no peace for poor Palestine people . Allah please punish the bad Jewish people and send all to Hell . Aameen.

Yes it was obvious, and now the Palestinians were left with a tiny portion of land which they fight Israel on a daily basis to keep. Israel wants it and will continue to kill and attack the people until they get total control of it.

Their reasoning is quite simple. They been living there for many centuries and they have the right to get it back. It is their birth right.
Well, all Native Americans should heed my call, get your land back from the immigrants. Go to the UN and state your case. Form an army large enough to fight for your land. It is after all your birth right. Spirit people want you to do it.
