Well apparently unlike the jews the Palestinians don't have a right to exist.
Its an evil double standard.

When you can show me any time in history that there was a Palestinian government I will concede to you.
The Land of Israel, known in Hebrew as Eretz Yisrael, has been sacred to the Jewish people since the time of the biblical patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Bible has placed this period in the early 2nd millennium BCE. According to the Torah, the Land of Israel was promised to the Jews as their homeland, and the sites holiest to Judaism are located there. Around the 11th century BCE, the first of a series of Jewish kingdoms and states established rule over the region; these Jewish kingdoms and states ruled intermittently for the following one thousand years.
Between the time of the Jewish kingdoms and the 7th-century Muslim conquests, the Land of Israel fell under Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, Roman, Sassanian, and Byzantine rule. Jewish presence in the region dwindled after the failure of the Bar Kokhba revolt against the Roman Empire in 132 CE and the resultant large-scale expulsion of Jews. Nevertheless, a continuous Jewish presence in Palestine was maintained, although the main Jewish population shifted from the Judea region to the Galilee; the Mishna and part of the Talmud, among Judaism's most important religious texts, were composed in Israel during this period. The Land of Israel was captured from the Byzantine Empire around 636 CE during the initial Muslim conquests. Control of the region transferred between the Umayyads, Abbasids, and Crusaders over the next six centuries, before falling in the hands of the Mamluk Sultanate, in 1260. In 1516, the Land of Israel became a part of the Ottoman Empire, which ruled the region until the 20th century.
Funny I don't see a Palestinian government mentioned anywhere.

BECAUSE prior to the British their was no Palestine. It was Judea, Samaria, and the biblical names of the areas. and they were all part of a larger region of Syria-Palestine. British Mandate Balestine included what later became Transjordan and then the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (which is why "Palestinians" are the majority population of Jordan)
and "Palestinians" were an identity assigned by the British to any Arab Muslims and Christians in the region which is why prior to the 60s their was no Palestinian nationalism

Because you have to have a palestine in order to wipe it off the map.
There isn't, has never been and never will be a town, state country called palestine. It was a region the Romans called the whole area that included Jordan, Syria as well as many other countries. The Romans ruled over England and when the British got rid of the Romans they kept the name of palestine but there again it was NEVER offical.

Because elites in the US don't like Arabs. Arabs don't allow usury (having to pay back interest on loans) but on the other hand many "Christians" forget that Jesus went into the temple and threw out all the money lenders. With all the free money our government has printed up and handed over to Isreal, the Arabs never really had a chance.

Maybe it's because it never existed in the first place.
