There is a third option: keep fighting against occupation. All colonialists fail in the end against a determined opponent. i.e. British in Palestine and in Ireland. Better to die on one's feet then live on one's knees.

Banshee, their claims are as mythical as your namesake The fact is that Arabs are trying to occupy Jewish land that they don't have a rightful claim to. We were here 2400 years before they invaded There is absolutely no mention of Palestine or Jerusalem in their Koran, which simply proves they really have no legitimate claim The basic fact is there never was a Palestine, Palestinian Government or Palestinian rulers, no coins, no currency no memorabilia, no nothing, to prove there was a functioning Government of any self ruled entity known as Palestine

fully agree; shalom from a rainy Holland

my dear Abbas is great mans becase he is so also rich becase his people love him.He is smatrter than youtink that is why is rich.Lol.

The American campaign is dead as Moslems saw it as weakness and took advantage of it. Palestinians as well. (Who trained the PA forces? Who gives most to the UN from whom you are funded?) I understand your upset. BTW the PA knew the settlements would have to be discussed when they signed on to Oslo. Just because they conveniently changed their minds doesn't make the settlements illegal nor does in make it an occupation. (The PA and Hamas control the "Pals", not Israel. Israel gave back Gaza and tried giving back much of the WB, REMEMBER?)

You are not a state and never have been. Your own leaders said that. You are also not occupied. The PA and Hamas control the "Pals", not Israel. Israel gave back Gaza and tried giving back much of the WB, remember?

No, the argument is with you, not with history. History proves that the Jews were there a few thousand years before the arabs conquered the area. History disproves your latest, quick and convenient last-minute grasping-at-straws claim that you are Canaanites as they disappeared long ago. And this Philistine connection argument also doesn't hold water as they were Greek. The name Palestine was a Roman invention to cut off the Jewish claim to the land. They did not need to cut off arab (or "palestinian") claims, as there weren't any at the time.
