"Why live where you're not wanted"? Why don't the Arabs take you're advice and leave? Genetic and archaeological evidence proves that Jews are indigenous to the region despite their expulsion, and were there even before Arabs were. Plus, many of the "Palestinians" are descendants of immigrants from the Arab world, Bosnia, and the Caucasus that arrived when the Zionist project made Palestine livable. I'm SICK of constantly hearing the Jews referred to as foreign colonizers and Arabs as the indigenous.
62. how about our coward leaders stop funding them?
jack bauer   (12.02.12)
And just annex it all once and for all. Then state clearly and for the record, when we are agressively attacked next time, when we capture land we will hold it and annex it as well.
63. 18 dont forget in '47 when the world turned their backs the
czechs helped us out ,   jack bauer   (12.02.12)
they sold us their version of the me109, the sold us boats full of their mauser 98, they sold us all sorts of things that the rest of the world was holding back from us while we fought for our lives. The world agreed we should be allowed a state because of the shoah. But then they took away most of our land... and yet we still agreed. Then we ended up battling british tanks that were helping the arabs... and when the arab nations turned on us with the intention of wholesale slaughter where was the world... and this just years after WWII .... they were nowhere to be found... The czechs are a true friend. I hope they remain one and do not bow to the pressures behind the scenes, both political and business
64. To: No. 22
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.02.12)
The indigenous people of the land happen to be the Jews, as is borne out by both the written record and the archeological record. Moreover, have you forgotten that Israel acquired Judea and Samaria in the course of fighting a defensive war against Jordan? Jordan attacked; Israel won -- there are any number of unpleasant consequences for the vanquished. But that's what always happens in wartime, isn't it? Besides, the ersatz "Palestinians" -- an invented people with an invented history -- are indigenous to the Hejaz in the Western Arabian desert. We will gladly send them there, or -- since they are all Jordanian citizens courtesy of Jordan's 1954 Citizenship Law -- there is really nothing to stop Israel from repatriating those Jordanian citizens. Is there? No sovereign state has to tolerate undesirable aliens, does it? And the ersatz "Palestinians" are not stateless. By the way -- Jews are human beings, too. The most persecuted people on the face of the earth. Since you cite Algeria as an example -- do you have any idea how many Jews were murdered and expelled when Ben Bella came to power? Look it up, before you run your ignorant mouth. Why should the ersatz "Palestinians" live where they are not wanted? And I bet that if you dig a little deeply, you will find a great many native Americans who are asking the identical question. Be careful. You live in a glass house. Do not throw stones.

They resisted the Habsburgs, the Nazis, the Soviets and now the Arabs and their lackeys. A most courageous nation.
66. #61, Vlad et al
Human Being ,   Berkeley, CA   (12.02.12)
# 61 : Is a Chinese person who converts to Judaism indigenous to Palestine? Let me guess, you're from the former USSR? #58: Palestinians are not responsible for the Holocaust. #59: Mexico has no legal claim to California as the Geneva Conventions do not apply retroactively. Sarah B.: You've openly called for the genocide of Palestinians in this forum. This is inexcusable in any civilized discussion.
67. UN recognition - No big deal
Spencer ,   Israel   (12.03.12)
Exactly! Without Israel's consent, the Palis haven't got a chance in hell of becoming an independent state, so they might as well wisen up and negotiate WITH Israel without preconditions.
68. #3. "Palestinians" can only make empty declarations.
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.03.12)
#3. I suggest you stop your puerile insults and use some common sense. "Palestinians" can make as many empty statehood declarations as they want. However, Judea and Samaria belong to Israel now and forever. Yet another empty "Palestinian" statehood declaration changes nothing. The time is coming soon when "Palestinian" poseurs will leave our land, where they are most unwelcome.
69. To No. 64
Bertram ,   London, UK   (12.03.12)
"No sovereign state has to tolerate undesirable aliens, does it?" I guess not. In which case, Sarah, will find yourself accepted as a guest in increasingly fewer countries. But then you have never given too much concern for the rest of the world, have you? After all, you are always right and you will still be right even when you unwittingly conspire in the destruction of Israel, the land you profess to love so much.
