It is my fervent hope that the Native Peoples of North America retrieve their ownership of their land much sooner than "a few millenias", John

So what country is East Jerusalem in, Waleed? Oh. That's right. There has never been a country called "Palestine," now, has there? It belongs to Israel. Jordan controlled East Jerusalem, and then made the extremely bad decision to attack Israel in 1967. And JORDAN LOST EAST JERUSALEM TO ISRAEL ..... which makes East Jerusalem Israeli territory. There you go. So simple, even you can understand it. I hope. If not; too bad. Get an interpreter.

There IS NO EAST Jerusalem, FOOL! Is there an East Mecca with Jews in it, idiot? Would you like an East Mecca with Jews squatting there in illegally built apartments?

If you claim Ghassanids are Arabs, then you agree that Arabs began arriving in the 3rd Century CE, occupying the land the Romans ethnically cleansed the Jews from. The Arabs are therefore occupiers and Palestine itself is occupation. Also, the Canaanites were not Arabs- an Arab is somebody who speaks Arabic or someone whose ancestors spoke Arabic. The Canaanites spoke Hebrew. You can call them a pre-Arabic people who may have had a negligible influence on Arab civilization, but then again, the Jews can also be called a pre-Arabic people who influenced Arab civilization too. Either way, the Canaanites are only Arabs if the Jews are Arabs and if the Jews are Arabs, then there is no "occupation" or "ethnic cleansing", as you claim. Finally, DNA proves that most Ashkenazi Jews are more closely genetically related to the Samaritans (a population who never left the region for 2500 years) than Palestinian Arabs. Genetically, linguistically, and culturally, Arabs are invading occupiers- you proved it yourself!

Jerusalem has always been the eternal captial of the Jewish people. Under Muslim rule, Jerusalem was neglected. In fact, when the holy sites of East Jerusalem were under Jordanian Muslim rule, it was virtually impossible for Christians and Jews to visit and worship there. Rather than complain, Muslims should be happy that Jerusalem is under the rule of the democratic state of Israel which ensures everyone free access to holy sites. To complain about the ongoing process of Jews moving to Jerusalem is the same as complaining about the Vatican full of Catholics. Jerusalem is Jewish.

The inalienable rights of Jews to the Biblical heartland must not be violated! No one is demanding Muslims surrender THEIR top religious areas of Mecca and Medina! In 1948, Egypt invaded Gaza, ethnically cleansing all Jews and in 1948, Jordan invaded Judea, Samaria and east Jerusalem, ethnically cleansing all Jews. In violent opposition to G-D, Muslim Jordan destroyed 58 synagogues in Jerusalem. The jihad is against the Holy One. When Israel won the Arab war of aggression in 1967, Jews returned to the areas of their ancestral homeland they had been ethnically cleansed from for 19 years. Anti-Israel propaganda DECEITFULLY calls Jews' legitimate return "occupation". Jews have had a continuous presence in physical and spiritual homeland Israel for 4000 years. Jewish ownership of the land, homes and buildings stolen from the Jews in the 1948 Islamic invasion must be restored! STOP THE ARAB OCCUPATION
