What if it's not stealing. What if it's taking back what was stolen from you.
Stolen by who, and more importantly taking from what part of history exactly?

Champloo said:The jewish people were forced to move by the romans, who later named it Palestine to abolish all jewish ties to it. An undisputed fact.

You are talking about something that happened 2000 years ago, in that line of thinking we could also say, the cannites who are the palestians today,who were already under egyptian rules, were invaded 1400 year Before christ by a semitic tribes called the "hebrews"

It is a question of ownership aeon. Technically the Jews own the land that Palestine has been squating on for 2000 years. I say technically because the ancient history of the region is somewhat of a grey area for me. Regardless, Israel inhabits the land now, so it's a moot point. Arguing this is much like France debating their ownership of Upper and Lower Canada (present day Ontario and Quebec).
P.S. I'll respond vis-a-vis our debate later when i'm more inclined to do so.
aeon said:2000 years own by palestinians is pretty convincing to me.
Just the Facts said:aeon said:2000 years own by palestinians is pretty convincing to me.
It might be convincing if it were true. 1968 was not 2000 years ago. Before then, when one spoke of a "Palestinian", one was generally speaking of a Jew. The west bank got it's name by being the west bank of Jordan. Israel offered the west bank back to Jordan after the war. They didn't want it. Remember Jordan? The forgotton portion of Palestine. The Arabs already have the vast majority of Palestine to themselves. The Jews are willing to accept the tiny sliver of land they have been left with. It's more than fair. <Edit>The division of Palestine has by far favoured the Arabs.</edit> The Paelstinians have no case.

I think not said:I'm surprised after all the times Israel has been invaded and attacked by Arab armies that's all Israel got out of it.
EDIT: And don't forget, your map doesn't show Israel giving back land after wars, like the Sinai?

EXACTLY!
How did Israel immediately extend its territory in 1947?
The nation was attacked by SIX Arab nations, who encouraged the Palestinians to flee so they would not be in the way as Israel was eliminated............. and the borders the UN assigned the Jewish state were simply incoherent, Israel made them coherent.
Some of what Israel did to achieve this was NOT nice...........
Now Aeon is going to tell us that the Jews, in 1948, with practically no weapons, little outside support, vastly outgunned and outnumbered, ATTACKED the Arab nations forcing them to mobilize in self-defense........
One other point. Jordan has refused the return of the West Bank. When Israel abandoned Gazam, it instantly became a launching point for attacks on Israel. Exactly HOW is Israel to find peace? .

Are you that stupid? do you know how many palestinians refugee there is since 1948?? 3.7 millions , 400 000 of them can't even go back to their own land, thanks to the united morons of america's president who can't even spell nuclear weapons.Of course i understand coming from a guy who thought, bagdad was safer than any american city.
aeon said:Are you that stupid?
aeon said:Find one person in quebec( a french one) who think israel are for a peace solution, good luck.
Colpy said:No, are YOU that stupid.
Originally, 750,000 were refugees. The 400,000 you speak of are the survivors of that. The original 750,000 have multiplied into almost 3 million.
Funny though, 800,000 Jews were forced to flee Arab countries, with all their land and goods seized from them.
why is there not a JEWISH refugee problem?
Because Israel took them in.
Meanwhile, the Palestininans have been abandoned by all the Arab countries, except for sending cash to encourage attacks on Israel. Jordan refuses to take back the West Bank.
The Palestinian problem, the refugee problem, the entire Israel/Arab conflict is CURRENTLY the fault of the Arab nations. PERIOD.
So Aeon, let us hear you Peace Plan. I'm serious, I'd love to hear your proposal to end the conflic.
I suspect, like every good proto-fascist Quebecois, your prefered solution to the question would be every Jew in the world stick a pistol in their mouth and try to pull the trigger twice.
Or the equivalent in Israel.
The war that ensued was won by Israel, creating a large number of Arab refugees. Estimates vary from about 520,000 (Israeli sources) to 726,000 (UN sources) to over 800,000 (Arab sources) refugees, Palestinian Arabs who fled or were forced out of their homes during the fighting. This number has grown to include over 4.6 million displaced persons, about 3.7 million of whom are currently registered as refugees with the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees).
Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People is a timely, groundbreaking book which examines the proliferation of movies featuring machine-gun wielding and bomb-blowing "evil" Arabs - from cinema's earliest days to contemporary Hollywood blockbusters. Award-winning film authority Jack G. Shaheen presents the powerful case that "Arab" has remained Hollywood's shameless shorthand for "bad guy" long after the movie industry has shifted its portrayal of other minority groups. This comprehensive study looks at nearly one thousand films, arranged alphabetically in chapters such as "Villains," "Sheiks," "Cameos," and "Cliffhangers." Powerful, urgent -- and a must-read reference for any media, cultural or film studies course!
