Being that there was never before 1967 a reference to a Palestinian state. How can you argue they should have a Homeland but not the Jews?

Palestinians are being used by the Muslim Brotherhood as tools. They were ushered into Gaza
because they weren't wanted in Syria, Lebanon and Jordan.
For the most part they aren't even fighting Israel,except for the brainwashed percentage of them and those that have lost loved ones as a result of the conflict. The majority of missiles launched are from Hamas operative which most aren't from the region.

An Israeli Sense of Humor at United Nations set the record straight.

An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the United Nations Assembly and made the world community smile.

A representative from Israel began:
'Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses:
When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought,
"What a good opportunity to have a bath!"

Moses removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water. When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished.
A Palestinian had stolen them!

The Palestinian representative at the UN jumped up furiously and
shouted, "What are you talking about? The Palestinians weren't there then."

The Israeli representative smiled and said,
"And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech."


I stole this from another site.

Just for you Rex, woof, woof.


ETA: The speech is fiction... I think?

Because it was their home and their land. .. voila, homeland.

Which has little to do with their own claim to their own land.

I don't really favor either side in this conflict and I don't see either side as having a moral claim to the area.

I believe that if your own parents had a farm 75 years ago that you were due to inherit you'd claim a moral right to it over some UN mandate to give it to foreigners based on some ancient and dubious scriptural rationale.

And, oh, by the way, I could make the same argument that Jews were ushered into Israel because they weren't wanted in Europe.

Have an upvote. Not that anything you said makes sense, but this "Rex;dr" bullshite is one of the most tired and unfunny jokes on this site.

It's hard to have a discussion when I have to wade through twenty posts of that shite.

So, if a land has been your home for 1500 years it's not your homeland?

It's far more a homeland to Palestinians than to Russian Khazars posing as displaced Hebrews, that's for damn sure.

I agree. Forget this homeland crap and trying to assign moral supremacy to one side or the other. Neither side has it.

Toss aside morality altogether and pick a side for other reasons like military supremacy or who are generally easier to do business with (or just be neutral).

Go Israel.

They were no Palestinians living there back then.

Anyone can make an argument. However, reasonable or good arguments are a different matter.

The Jews were not ushered anywhere. They took Israel. They used homeland as an excuse. But, they used armed force as their entitlement.
