The USA was attacked in 1941 by Japan. Had US residents of Japanese ancestry left the US in response to calls from Japan's leaders, or stayed and aided Japan........I doubt that after the war was over, that those who fled or aided would be allowed residence in US. In 1948 Arabs fled the newly recognized state of Israel in response to calls from Arab leaders.....and now you expect Israel to recognize their right to return! Why should Israel return to '48 or '67? Arabs must offer peace and renounce war. They must recognize Israel's permanent right to exist.

Hamas is fooling all of you, especially the Europeans. Next, they will nominate Hamas for the Noble Peace Prize. Wake up people, Hamas is a cancer that needs to be destroyed!!!!

http://tiny.cc/thrownfrombuilding shows members of Fatah thrown from buildings with their arms tied behind their backs and after landing they are kicked and abused. http://tiny.cc/rulebyhamas1 was filmed by Palestinians. It shows newly weds and guests getting killed and beaten for playing music at their wedding! http://tiny.cc/endoflebanon - will break your heart. It's long but describes how Palestinians destroyed Lebanon which was the only country in the Arab world that took them in. Hamas is not ready to join the 21st century since it is locked in the 6th one!

Hamas Charter #11, has been full filled and completely!! Judgement Day was in 1948! That HAMAS does not recognize this, is its problem!

I would rather sign agreements with Hamas inspite their charter,than with Abbas who is inept and unpopular,while Hamas is disciplined and excepted in Gaza,and in the west bank,and it is quite possible,once Hamas is given recognition,it will soften it's stand on sharyah.If Hamas is smart ,and has the courage,it should release Gilad Shalit immediately,without conditions.I am sure Israel will resiprocate generously.

The Japanese went forward,the Palestinians went backward.They're doing this violence to speed up the coming of their Mahdi.

No, some of them are still talking about it, but let's assume for a MOMENT that they are all not talking about it. But they are PLANNING it. The good news here is that they will not succeed. Their people will continue to suffer because throughout history they have been used as pawns and most of them are too stupid to see it.

#17. Turks are hypocrites. Now give Kurdistan back to the Kurds. Thieves.

#17 from Turkey. As usual you ignore the 1,000,000 Jews forced to flee the Arab countries.

"Some of that land belongs to them anyways, period." Records show that prior to 1917, the land was only owned 5% by private people and the rest by Ottoman Turks. Once Britain won, that land became State land not private for anyone who lived on it. So according to the law, one who rents or squats on a property does not own it. That includes those serf farmers who worked the land for the Sultans and those illegal Arab immigrants who came in the thousands in 1920s, 30s. Jews can show tons of deed for purchased land....what have the Pals shown? A rusty key and some story of love about an olive tree.

You say :” If the stories (of the Torah) are not true … “ John, to think that the Torah contain lies -- will mean that you UNDERMINE the authority of Moses the Law Giver. BY undermining the authority of Moses the Law Giver -- the Jewish People will NOT be able to make spiritual advancement. BY undermining the authority of Moses the Law Giver -- the Bible will be undermined, and thus will be of NO importance. BY undermining the authority of Moses the Law Giver -- the Koran will be undermined, and thus will be of NO importance. BTW Moses the Law Giver led the Jewish People out of Egypt in 1260 B.Chr.. After wandering for forty years in the Desert of the Sinai Peninsula the Jewish People entered Israel, which includes Judea & Samaria, in 1220 B.Chr. -- ON the order of YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord. Israel, which includes Judea & Samaria (nowadays known as the West Bank) is the land given by YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord, to the Jewish People as their Homeland -- as conveyed to the broader world by Moses the Law Giver. Israel, which includes Judea & Samaria (nowadays known as the West Bank) is the Homeland of the Jewish People from 1220 B.Chr. onwards -- FOREVER. SO, John, the West Bank (i.e. Judea & Samaria) does NOT belong to the Arabs -- it is NOT Arab land !!!
