Just take it all. Why pretend like that's not what we really want anyway? I say let's just conquer it with one big push instead of this slow, indirect sneeky, much worse for the Palestinians, methodical way. Why not say, we want the land, it's ours, and we're taking it. Conquer fair and square. We all know that's what were intending to do anyway.
You see the living conditions of the Palestinians, it's horrible. People shouldn't be living like that. Especially the people in the Gaza Strip, do them a favor and free them from they're concentration camp. Their just not leaving no matter how bad we make they're conditions and I feel sorry for them. Let's help them.
Better to just be honest than all this shady stuff that we're doing, no?

It's ours, and even if it wasn't, we want it and we're going to take it. Were coming so get ready. You want to keep it, then try to stop us.

This seems more like a political question, rather than a religious one.
Wouldn't it be better if Israel didn't want it? Isn't peace better than war? Compassion better than murder? Allies better than land?

If it weren't for the Jewish state, the Palestinians wouldn't HAVE to live that way in the first place. Glad you admit that at least. But you're still not entitled to the land.
Let me ask you this - how do you feel about eminent domain? Would you fight if the government showed up at your door and told you to drag it? That they were taking your house and land and there was nothing in the world you could do about it? How is that any different from what the Jews did to the Palestinians? Why do they have to leave at all? How come they can't share Israel with you?
I just don't get it. All this over a musty old book....

One of the most popular lies that has become universally accepted as if it was an indisputable truth is the myth about Jerusalem being the third sacred place to Islam. It is quite rare to hear the honest truth, that Jerusalem is the First and Only Holiest place to Judaism! As a matter of fact, Jerusalem is not mentioned at all in the koran, and Muhammad has never been there (perhaps he did not even know about the existence of Jerusalem!). The tale about his dream flight has been related with Jerusalem in a very recent time for political strategy purposes.
1) The Islamic claim to the Temple Mount is very recent - Jerusalem's role as "The Third Holiest Site in Islam" in mainstream Islamic writings does not precede the 1930s. It was created by the grand mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini.
Most of the problems surrounding Jerusalem can be traced to two areas of dispute: the political area that asks Jerusalem to be the capital of both Israel and the hypothetic Palestine; the other and most contentious problem is the holiness of Temple Mount to both Judaism and Islam.
The role Jerusalem has in the Hebrew Holy Scriptures is well known and not open to debate; however, there are varying opinions on the holiness of Jerusalem, specifically Temple Mount to Islam.
Many if not most opinions that counter Islam's claim point out the Jerusalem is not mentioned in the qur'an and did not occupy any special role in Islam until recent political exigencies transformed Jerusalem into Islam's "third holy site". This falsehood was created by the grand mufti, Haj Amin al-Husseini. The mufti knew that nationalist slogans alone would not succeed in uniting the masses against arriving Jewish refugees; he therefore turned the struggle into a religious conflict. He addressed the masses clearly, calling for a holy war. Since the moment when he was appointed to the position of mufti, Haj Amin worked vigorously to raise Jerusalem's status as an Islamic holy centre.

Well...at least you're honest. The Europeans just kicked the he*l out of the native Americans in North and South America and took their land. Might is right and all of that crap. If you believe that we're just a pack of animals scrapping for turf I guess that would be the way. If you think that we have learned ANYTHING over the centuries about treating our brothers with decency you might want to rethink your position. You know the Christians support the Jews in Palestine 100% UNTIL Armageddon. The support stops there. That's when their turn to slide into hell comes. Can't we just all get along?? NOBODY'S got it all right OR all wrong! That would make US God.

Who is this Damn "we" ????
Have you ever even been to Israel???
Do you have any idea about the complicated situation your talking about!
Your not even Jewish or Israeli. When you say 'we' will you go out and do what you are talking about? Will you march down with a gun and take the land! Or will you simply sit there on your computer telling others what they should fight and die for!
Sorry to be so harsh kid, but your really making some inflammatory statements. And you are dealing with an issue that is far more complicated then you can comprehend. Keep reading but be carefull of what kind of statments you make.

Nope...the conditions in Gaza are horrible because of Israel...Israel would do everyone a favor if they are going to respect international law and end the occupation on the Palestinian territories and allow Palestinians to create their own state...

Israel needs to take the Biblical portions that God gave to them and no more.. The rest of the people can be governed by the Israeli Govt and stay where they are.. or leave.
