That everybody should give it baek to whoever was there first?
By the way, I hate Is Rael.

Post World War II, all the major powers gathered around a table and divided the world into pretty much what it is today. They Great Colonial Powers (UK and France) gave up their colonial holdings from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. It's unfortunate that some people got the shaft, but for the most part, the world seems pretty happy with the way things were chopped up. So my advice to everyone else - get over it.

Speaking of Israel it was given to them. As for other lands do you want us to give America back to the British, because thet is who we took it from. Also, the vast majority of the Western United States was actually purchased. In a little deal called the Louisiana Purchase. Granted some of it was fought over, most was just bought. We got it at a deal too.
Next time don't try to be so vague, and if you weren't intending on people only addressing one particular instance then you might want to find out if the claims you are making are even true.

ROFLMAO
You'd be hard pressed to find anyone old enough to say they were there first. Even in America there were no indigenous people. They came here from Asia by way of the land bridge and that was hundreds if not thousands of years ago.

Things were done according to how the times dictated them.It would be an impossible task to go all the way through history and return everything. The idea of doing this is ridiculous.

When are you going to let go of the past? Learn from it, but don't hang on to it, unless you enjoy nursing a grudge for no reason at all.
They probably don't like you, either. What of it?

Taking land by force is a perfectly good way to take it if you ask me. Who said we all had to be super nice and polite all the time anyway. This is how every other living organism on this planet works, why should we have to be different.

Wow I never would have guessed it. To answer your question, no but Israel was given the land that was, at the time, part of Great Britain.

funny, the land that you refer to was taken by someone else before that, and someone else before that! So who is the origional owner?!? If you believe that God exists, then HE is the origional owner! it is his choice who gets the land
