Are you stupid and illiterate?
Israel is not taking "their land."
A few facts for you to ponder before you share anymore of your insightful opinions with us.
1. Israel became a state in 1312 B.C., two millennia before islam.
2. arab refugees from Israel began calling themselves " palestinians " in 1967, two decades after (modern) Israeli statehood in 1948.
3. After conquering the land in 1272 B.C., Jews ruled it for a thousand years and have maintained a continuous presence for 3,300 years.
4. The only muslim rule following conquest in 633 B.C. lasted just 22 years. palestine never existed.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem was the Jewish capital. It was never the capital of any arab or muslim entity. Even under Jordanian rule, (East) Jerusalem was not made the capital, and no arab leader came to visit it.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the bible, but not once is it mentioned in the quran.
7. King David founded Jerusalem; muhmmed never set foot in it.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem; muslims face mecca. If they are between the two cities, muslims pray facing mecca, with their backs to Jerusalem.
9. In 1948, arab leaders urged their people to leave, promising to cleanse the land of Jewish presence. 68% of them fled without ever setting eyes on an Israeli soldier.
10. Virtually the entire Jewish population of muslim countries had to flee as the result of violence and pogroms.

15. The U.N. was silent when the Jordanians destroyed 58 synagogues in the old city of Jerusalem. It remained silent while Jordan systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, and it remained silent when Jordan enforced apartheid laws preventing Jews from accessing the temple mount and western wall.
16. arabs started all seven wars against Israel.
Quote from StreamlineTrade:
And to put your OPINION into its proper perspective, the Palestinians are not killing jews because 'they're jews', but because these Israeli jews are taking their land, taking their houses, stoping water supplies, building ghettos,..... In other words, Palestinians are acting in SELF DEFENCE!
Stop being the VICTIM. Outside USA, No one feels sorry for Israelis. No one.
