I"m not anti anything. The Romans called the general area Palistine. It was a racial slur at the time.

Palestine has more of a right to exist then Israel does. The area commonly refferred to as Israel (and Palestine) was as a matter of fact almost entirely Arab before the British mandate that the Jewish should settle upon what is now called Israeli land. Essentially, the British (seeking to put the Jewish elsewhere) declared that they should create a nation state (or said they would support a nation state) based on Judaism.
Basically, they stole land. They continue to do so today. While you may not physically find a map with a section of land cut out labeled "Palestine" most historians would agree that it was a predominately Arab land before the British mandate the majority of the people there could be labeled as "Palestinians". Of course they wouldn't really care what you called them then, because they had land so they really didn't need a nationalist agenda to identify with.
As far as people calling you a nazi I disagree, I think you've spent a little to much time around military people who think they know what they're talking about but in reality are historically inaccurate if not inept. Further than that, I believe you're Christian which in many cases means automatic support for Israel. I suggest looking into the USS Liberty incident, it might give you a different light about Israel.

No. You're a jewish nazi. Palestine's lack of independence from the Ottoman Empire is irrelevant. In 1921 at the San rRemo conference the French agreed to assume the mandate for Syria,the British for Palestine and Jordan. After the mandancy system was dismantled by the U.N. the French got out of Syria and it became independent; the British got out of Jordan and it became independent. In Palestine the British simply turned it over to the Jewish Agency,sponsor of various intensely violent terrorist orgs including the Stern gang and the Irgun. The place has been a living hell ever since,as one would expect. The Palestinians as a people have been there for thousands of years; it is their ancentral homeland. They were there when the ancient hebrews showed up and began to liquidate all other ethnic groups; only the "Philistines" survived. They survive today,and they will return. Your so-called country is a pariah state to all human-rights activists,all multiculturalists,all leftists. You have only one single remaining base of support- a few milllion demented American fundies with bizarre fantasies about staging an Armaggeddon. Christian United for israel. That's it. You're wretched and vicious pseudo-government has about twenty years of life in it,but it's already clear that it's days are numbered.

You're a little misguided about Palestine, really. I'm hoping this can clear up some understanding of how Israel came to be.
Below is what I had written about the history of Jerusalem in a previous Yahoo Answers question, but it essentially goes for Israel and the British Mandate of Palestine too...
They all have an equal share in the old city...Christians, Jews, Moslems. Each one would like to claim it's stake, but it needs to be the one place on earth where all 3 groups can share equally. G-d deeded the land to Abraham and his descendants forever, so I suspect the Jews have the greatest right to the land of Israel and Jerusalem.
The Jews had the city first, since before the year (5767 years ago) when Moses received the 10 commandments from G-d on Mount Sinai (in Egypt)...and the city was shared amongst everyone.
Then came the Romans who claimed Jerusalem before the year (2007 years ago) of Christ's death. ...and after Christ's death, the Christians chose to keep Jerusalem for themselves.
Then came Muhammed around 1,000 AD who brought about Jerusalem's claim from Islam.
In the many years that followed, it was claimed and relclaimed many times by various forces...and changes were made to the construction of the city itself with each capture/re-capture.
Finally, in the early 20th century, it belonged to "Anglo-Palestine" as a British colony. Since it was owned by Britain, they had every right to do with it as they chose. In 1948, they gave it to Israel (the Jews) as part of a UN Mandate to become the capital city of Israel. Israel chose to share the city between Christians, Moslems and Jews, but that didn't last long. Moslems declared the Israeli deed to the land from the UN was "illegal" and started a war against Israel that lasts to this day.
In 1967, during the 6-day war, Israel re-captured all of Jerusalem, the West Bank (formerly Jordan), the Golan Heights (formerly Syria), Gaza (formerly Egypt) and the entire Sinai peninsula (Egypt). The Sinai was given back to Egypt by about 1978 during the peace treaty between Menachem begin and Anwar Sadat and parts of the West Bank were given back over the next decade as well. Gaza was returned in 2005.
Unfortunately, there won't be any peace until all parties (some of whom blasphemously choose to fight in G-d's name) can agree on their borders and put down their weapons.

And I can pull out a map from 1940 and the nation of Israel is nowhere to be found. Jewish semites and non-jewish semites have been fighting over the area known as Palestine and Israel since at least the entry of the Israelis into the area following the exodus. Saying that either does not truly exist or does not truly have some claim to the area is disingenuous, at best.

There's a reason that "salaam " and "shalom" sound almost the same, ya know...
Jesus was technically a Palestinian.
You aren't one of those guys waitin' fer the Jews ta fit Armageddon, are ye?
Also, try and pick one spelling of "Palestine"

For someone who is so driven and sure of himself on a topic....heh heh heh one should learn how to spell the topic correctly.
I think your Jewish (hint the name David) and you hate Arabs like most of the other Jewish people in that area. Are these your ideas or are you feeding off the the news and friends.
I think you sound hateful.

No, but if you're going to be a racist, it would be better if you understood that being anti-Palestinian is not being anti-Arab, it's being anti-Semitic.
Just FYI.
