    Hey Nefesh, do you agree it was a crime to not accept in 2000?
    Again, the Palestinians could have had their own state.
    Yet another time, they chose to not have their own state,
    an independent and internationally recognized country.

    The failure to come to an agreement was widely attributed to Yasser
    Arafat, as he walked away from the table without making a concrete
    counter-offer and because Arafat did little to quell the series of

    Any Palestinian leader who agreed to such an accord would have been
    committing treason. The Zionists stole that part of Palestine you now
    call Israel.

    Bullshit. There has NEVER been a Palestine state. EVER. The Jews
    however, lived in that area for thousands of years and even the
    prophet Mohammad stated as much in his writings.

    Thousands of years if you include the Jews remaining in the region
    Palestine after the destruction of the Temple do we get to 1000s
    of years otherwise about 1500 years.

    Mohamed the Prophet blessed be his name, was himself a victim of
    Mythology which is the only way people knew things about the past
    before archeology,ethnology and modern DNA based genetics were
    available.


    It was ruled by an Ottoman governor and he was intensely antisemitic.
    The Palestinians lived there for at least 4000 years.

    No I mean the people who lived in Palestine, farming, herding,
    drawing water, hewing wood, making pots and tanning leather and
    leading their lives without much thought for the nature of Deity but
    what was taught to them by their leaders/conquerors/priests.
    These days, some are Muslims, Jews and Christians and when
    the State of Israel was imposed some of them left to become
    refugees and suffer the Nakba. Some stayed and are victims of the
    repressive policies.


    You mean the Jews... oh, and if it was rule over by a governor from the Ottoman empire.. that means it was not a Palestine state.. it was merely
    a province of the Empire.


    The people of the Book are always quarreling over the intepretation
    of the books they hold sacred. Christians, Jews, and Moslems are
    rarely of one mind on the meaning.

    Well, the Muslim prophet Mohammad made it pretty clear that that area
    was the home of the Jews who had lived there since the start of time.

    No Palestine state.

    Yes I see you are a scriptural fundamentalist and the Hindu
    aka the Fire Worshipers predicate a vaster longer time since the
    beginning of the World than 6000 years ago. You accept the mythology
    and prefer to remain ignorant of science. The Prophet would laugh
    at your ignorance.

    The area has been attacked and conquered over and over and over, and
    never was there a Palestine state.. but it is and was the home of the
    Jews.

    The home of the Jews in Jewish and Christian mythology.
    The Romans destroyed the Jewish Temple and much of Jersalem in
    about 66 CE. The Palestinians remained because they were not temple
    dependent nor had they tried to cast off the yoke of Roman imperialism.

    I see, so the Palestines were actually the Jews..

    No they were the Samaritans who worshiped the same god as the
    Jewish people but were execrated by the power structure in Jerusalem
    in the time of the prophet called Jesus. alleged to have been the
    Christ of the Christians. This religious group vanished from records
    about 600 CE.


    So what does that have to do with the false claims today by Arabic terrorists?


    They are living in the world of Myth where they believe
    multiple contradictory things. The words of the Prophet and the
    relatively long historical claims of the Muslim population of the
    region of Palestine against the somewhat lapsed claim of the
    Jewish Masses to a historic but equally mythical prolonged claim
    to the Region of Palestine.

    Don't forget all the now mythical tribes that populated
    the area. Philistines, Amorites and the rest. Mythical reported
    to have been conquered but only the organizers died, the rest of
    the people who farmed the land and herded the sheep only moved
    further away from the armies of the conquerors.

    It should be called the Unholy land where the conflicting
    claims of prophets have been the source of endless infighting.
