1. Palestine was Homeland for Arabs for 2000 yrs...
ironbutterfly ,   israel   (06.01.17)
Jews suddenly decided that after 2000 yrs Palestine belongs to them.
2000 yrs of hallucinations and bible stories fantasies have created illusions that Palestine, a "land-of-milk-and-honey", is waiting for them.
They started flocking there, and then realized that the reality is very different.
They robbed the lands that belonged to Palestinians for hundreds of years, piece by piece, and it is happening to this day. These "new" jews or "new" "israelis" disregarded everything, every single moral aspect of their so called "resettlement" of Palestine. With their actions disregarding all human rights, they caused the creation of refugees camps in Lebanon and in Gaza Strip, with thousands of Palestinians uprooted from their land.
Nakba will be remembered every year around the world, by all people.
2. My Nakba is worse than your Nakba
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (06.01.17)
Pathetic cheap grandstanding by PLC with nothing better to do that doesnt free Palestinians from decades of existing and drifting aimlessly in a political vacuum

Trying to go over the history and hurt again and again is useless

We are where we are NOW Palestinians and Israelis and it is from this perspective that we have to find solutions that address Palestinian Statehood and Israeli Security

In 1999 a group of Palestinian Academics in New York did just that. They envisioned a Palestinian State in an expanded Gaza PEG Plan created from territorial exchanges of parts of Negev for West Bank and possible land purchases or permanent 'leases' from Egyptian Sinai

A SINGLE CONTIGUOUS viable Palestinian State IN ONE PLACE not a hotch potch of territories in the West Bank and Gaza connected by a glorified 'Barak Motorway on Stilts' cutting across and controlled by Israel

What are we waiting for?



3. #1 America was home to the Indians forever
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (06.01.17)
That is until the Ousted European Protestant Americans showed up, won some wars and the British, American Indians admitted defeat.

Now, about the fairy tales you ascribe to, how do you like this 'fairy tale' the one that predicted the rebirth of Israel, her conquests over how many 'turn tale Muslim Arab nations' and the mighty little nation state that kicked your cowardly ass to hell?
And, the best part this isn't a fairy tale unless you Muslims are AKA as fairies.... Enjoy being constant losers. What the hell are you doing in Israel? There is No palestine. Lost?

We won you lost go home if you dare !!
BUILDING A BIGGER JEWISH ISRAEL!!
4. The problem is "Palestinians" want Jews dead and/or gone
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.01.17)
The obvious problem with "Palestinians" is that they are a fictional invented people created to justify the destruction of Israel. They want Jews dead and/or gone, and they shout this out to the heavens in every humanly possible way. The only solution is total Israeli victory. Stop the mad Israeli support that keeps the evil fiction of "Palestine" afloat and let the abomination fall!
5. The source of Arab-Israeli conflict is Arab occupation of ME

6. The longest ARAB government in Palestine...
M. Davison ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (06.08.17)
Lasted less than 200 years. Prior to the Islamic invasion of the 7th century, the only Arabs in the Mediterranean Basin were traders and caravans. Arabs (not Muslims) were never a majority in Palestine before the 19th century.

You might want to do some research that doesn't include the Electronic Intifada and Mondoweiss.
