So going on the assumed logic of "who was there first", Jerusalem is the homeland of Judaism. Judaism existed over 2,000 years before Islam. So by this logic, didn't the Muslims invade and conquer Israel several hundred years back? Im trying to understand the claim to this area that muslims and liberals alike try to make. It was the Jews that were forced into europe when the islamic religion marched into the western middle east. So if you live there long enough, the land becomes yours?

It is amazing the amount of misinformation that people have about Israel.

1. The Israelites (who were from Canaan in the first place) did not exterminate the other people in Canaan. They married them. Jews are descended from all of the people living in the area 3000 years ago, Israelite and non-Israelite alike.

2. Arabs did not force all the Jews into Europe. Most of the Jews stayed in the Middle East. Some in Israel, some dispersed elsewhere. When Arabs came out of Saudi Arabia, they forced Jews out of what is now Syria, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, etc., back into Israel.

If you want to give all the land back to the original inhabitants, Jews would get all of Israel, all of the West Bank, all of Gaza, some of Lebanon, some of Syria, and some of Egypt. The Arabs would get Saudi Arabia. I think that most Israelis could live with that.

Jews have occupied what is now Israel for the entire length of recorded history, over 3500 years. There was never another nation there, just occupying powers - Romans, Persians, Byzantines, Ottomans, Britain.

OK first of all, Yes, Israel did exist as a nation before 1948.
They were a nation thousands of years ago, starting with Moses when he led the Jews out of captivity in egypt to the Promised Land that God had for them (Israel)
in the year 70 AD. The roman empire invaded and completely destroyed everything including Jerusalem and the Holy Temple.
In 1948 shortly after the Holocaust the Jews resettled back in their old lands and reformed their nation.
In fact the Jews are the only people to be removed from their homeland for more than 1800 years and to come back together and reform their nation!
Death To Islam!

it didn't. in fact, israel has done nothing but give up land for peace since 67.


and yes, the muslims invaded much of the world and conquered it by force, very violently. all of north africa, south asia and the middle east. they conveniently forget that when they play the victim.

and the region of palestine was split into an arab state of jordan and the jewish state of israel. israel is willing to live side by side with arabs. the moment that arabs can do the same, there will be peace.

It is like saying the Irish stole Ireland from the British, makes no sense since it is there land.

A Mercer obviously has no clue what he is talking about. Abraham settled there. During a famine the Israelites left. When they returned all these other people were ilegally living on there property. So if I leave my summer home for the year and come back and someone is there, it is no longer my property?

It's common knowledge in the Moslem world that Jews drink blood on Passover, that Jews were behind 9-11, oh, and that Jews stole Palestine.
Anti-Semites of the West are all too willing to support these fantasies. Most of these fantasies were originally European.

Also remember that part of the middle east belongs to England after the crusades. Saladin gave it to Richard the lionheart as a gift. We don't complain about it though, do we?

Little children fight over their land as if it were a shiny new toy. God gave everybody the world, not individual sects of people.

if it existed 2000 years b4 muslim and christianity it doesnt state that Israel was there at that time.Jews existed b4 1948 but israel didnt.
Israelis forced christians and muslims out in 1948 and declared independece.
palestanians (muslims,jews or chrstians) were there and it doesnt matter if judaism existed 200 years b4 muslim or christianity.
Most jews in israel are european in origin.
jew isnt a race, it is a religion.
And accordint to history there was no israe b4 1948 so cut the religious crap. just look at the link Hi has provided and u would know.

Dude jewish ppl can be asian and african too.the origin jewish was arab in race.but soon jew is considered a race
