@JuniMajnoony Ok good :D ANYWAYS where r u from?

[JuniMajnoony]

@TheJLESI NO, I'm being totally serious!

[TheJLESI]

@JuniMajnoony Are u being Sarcastic?

[JuniMajnoony]

@TheJLESI And you have the logic to figure that out, so thank you :-) Any one with intelligence can calculate that no one would go and spend millions to build settlements on someone else's land to then claim that it was in the interest of peace. I can't steal your home and then tell you it was for your own good. Hello?! Thank the heavens some people know how to weed through the bullshit.

@CleverManX Um, your "expert" on settlements was never in Palestine and had "never ventured beyond the borders of the Netherlands". My family has a documented family history in Palestine for over 800 years, as do many families, Muslim and Christian. And the vast majority of history, even written by Israelis, states that there was a minority of Jews (10%) there before 1948. The early Zionists said about the land: "the bride is beautiful, but she is married to another man". So read more, please.

@JuniMajnoony OMG FINALLY SOMEONE KNOWS THE TRUTH!

[JuniMajnoony]

Fuck you! This is absolute bullshit. Israel is building settlements to expand their own territory. Village by village, outpost by outpost and connection road by connecting road with the intented purpose to force the Palestinians into submission or fleeing. The strategy is to take over the West Bank completely so don't try to confuse the issue by talking law and what the Americans said. Asshole.

@dave19941000 - Israelis wanted to sign peace with palestinians, Israelis even brought arafat to Palestine.

And what Israelis got? - terror, started by palestinians, thousand lost lives of Israelis..

It is impossible to achieve peace with muslim fanatics.

Muslims now silently occupy Europe and in several decades they will complain that Europe belongs to muslims.

This is exactly how muslims occupied Palestine.

@CleverManX Until 1950 land was aquired mostly by means of war. The jews lost control over the land over 1900 years ago by means of war. They where given half the land of Palestine by the UN, and aquired about another 4th of it by war. If we lived in a pre-WW2 era then war would be a ligitamate means of gaining land, but we dont, and it is not. In fact for hundreads of years muslims, jews and christians lived in peace, and its only the highly religious that coused peace to be impossible.

There is a book "Palaestina ex Monumentis Veteribus Illustrata"

written by Adriaan Reeland in 1695 (not mistake - in 1695).

He said in his book that in nearly 2500 settlements of Palestine at that time the most of population were jews, the rest were christians and only very little were muslims (beduins).

So this is definitely jewish land!

Arabs came later, when there was jewish majority in Palestine, but now they complain that jews occupied Palestine.

Palestinians are liers!
