The only example in recorded history where a nation was forcibly occupied, conquered and its people dispersed (for a second time) and then, two thousand years later, re-established on the same land by the same people with the same religion. Israel is, by definition, the greatest national liberation in recorded history. For the past sixty years the Israelis have been fighting the Arabs who had been illegally occupying that land....following similar illegal occupations by the Romans, the Greeks, the Turks, the British, etc.

Israel (country), country in southwestern Asia, formed in 1948 as a Jewish state in the historic region of Palestine, and located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Israel is bounded on the north by Lebanon, on the northeast by Syria, on the east by Jordan, and on the southwest by Egypt. Its southernmost tip extends to the Gulf of Aqaba, an arm of the Red Sea. Israel’s isolated position as a Jewish state surrounded by Arab and predominantly Islamic countries has influenced nearly every aspect of its foreign relations, demography, and economic policy throughout its history.
The origins of the present-day struggle between Israel and Arab nations predate the creation of Israel. Throughout the early 20th century Palestine, as the birthplace of Judaism and site of the ancient Hebrew Kingdom of Israel,

Israel is a sovereign nation given to the Jews thousands of years ago. The Arabs have absolutely no rights when it comes to Israeli territory. They can become Israeli citizens and set up businesses but it seems they would rather fight and fight and fight. The Arabs love a good battle. Check your history books. Why do you think that Muhammed put the Jihad section into the Koran?

Israel means to be decent to God , unfortunately they are not decent to Humanity or God,thousands are killed in Palestine but no one hears or See's or speaks,one Israeli is killed the whole world turns mad especially uncle SAM, Palestinians don't have any values, no value for children,men or women, what values is one Israeli occupier.
Israelis forgot that they once lived peacefully in Arab lands running away from western Killers.
We had been living in peace before 60 years, now the world is living in war for one country.
