the land was given to the alleged Palestinians, after the Romans ran the Jews off.

the land was never really the alleged Palestinians anyway. the Romans named it Palestine. its was The Kingdom of Judah-Israel. period! nobody was crying the blues for those Hebrew people and are still not. play fair!!!!!!!

@milesmuhldoon1 what a delightfully cynical look at suffering. after all maintaining the continuity of suffering is clearly what is right. the land belongs to god. all suffering is tragedy. a whole fucking book and religion was founded on the suffering of the hebrews, its called the old testament. eventually we move to compassion and forgiveness and away from suffering.

@seangimmick and fighting on and and on and on until all the monsters are dead and gone forever and ever and ever.
