Well at least i can say your partially right this time. Huntingdude. But you live out some huge facts like rest of liberal media. Actually in 1947 jews started to sneak into Israel territory and they in fact started a small guerilla conflict with palestines, ( the dude with patch over his eye was one of big guerilla fighters in this, name? Mocha Dien.. I know spelling all screwed up) Anyways they carve out Israel with suppour of yes, USA and Brits.. But how do you steal what has always been yours?????
Jews have been in that area since 1000 b.c. Could give u a huge lengthy time line, but ill just hit the high pts...
10,000 BC: first permanent settlements in Israel
1300 BC: Moses leads the Jews out of Egypt Into land of cannan, which is Israel.
circa 1200 BC: Philistines arrive by ship and give the name "Palestine" to the area; Jews start to arrive in Land of Israel
(Notice 1200 BC folks)
63 BC: Roman legions, under General Pompey, conquer Jerusalem
AD 66-70: Jewish revolt, war with Romans, destruction of Jerusalem and Second Temple
AD 132-135. Bar Kochba rebellion. Jews crushed by Romans, sold into slavery
AD 638: Omar defeats the Byzantine army at the Yarmuk River (in Syria); Muslims rule Palestine
AD 1099: Crusaders take Jerusalem after a five-week siege; more than 20,000 Jews and Muslims inside are murdered or sold into slavery
AD 1400: Israel under Mameluke rule from Egypt; Jews begin emigrating to Palestine to escape persecution in Europe
1923: British split off 70% of Palestine and hand it over to Emir Abdullah as "Jordan"
November 29, 1947: United Nations votes for the partition of the remainder of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem a neutral international city. The United States embargoes arms sales to the Jews while the British sell arms freely to the Arabs; with support from Stalin, the Jews are ultimately able to purchase $12 million of rifles from Czechoslovakia.
Wanted to point out, JEWS have been and were in palestine in 1800 B.C. Was not till 600 A.D. Muslims took rule of parts of the region.
They both had claim to the area, more so the jews they were there first. 70% of palestine was carved off and given to Jordon later on, more then satisfying there share.
Notice USA had arms embargo on jews, while Brits sold arms freely to Arabs.. So dont give this crap about poor Palestinians had no help and big bad Israels kicked there poor butts. They allready had huge concessions when Jordan was carved out.
Jews have more claim to the land then the arabs, being there at least 2000 years earlier.
Israel Jews, gave gaza strip back to the Palestinians. How were they thanked? There launching fricking rockets at the jews. The hamas started it, they deserve every blow they get. The Hamas goes out of there way to hit civilians and kids. The Jews got out of there way to miss civilians and Kids..
Hamas started to shoot rockets first.. so the jews are just to sit there and be attacked.. But of course all the liberal pukes out there and papers immediately jump on band wagon for the poor innocent little Palestinians. They have done nothing wrong and big bad Israel is beating them up.. If the Palestinians are so stupid that they don't realize if they launch a rocket, Israel will attack them,,, then they need to be taken out of lifes gene pool in my opinion. Don't launch rockets and Israel wont attack......duhhhhhhh thats complicated to understand...
