    Exactly. The same way the followers of Mohammed took all of the land by force beginning with Medina, Mecca, and on through the Middle East, Northern Africa, India, Southern Europe, etc., until the modern era, when many countries started taking some of it away. Live with it. Maps change in this world .. just as you suggest by your statement above.

    We don't kill people if they insult our savior, Jesus Christ. And did you not see the global uproar over the cartoon of Mohammed?The murder of Van Gogh? Daniel Pearl? Wake up man, because your neck would be slit in a heartbeat by the Muslims if they ruled here. All you would need to do to earn your Islamic necktie is to say no to Islam.

    Israel had a national existence in Judea (modern Palestine) long before the Roman empire came into existence. The only archaeological evidence of a people living in the region indicates that they were Jewish, with two temples having been built by them on the current site of the Dome of The Rock mosque (an abomination). The last temple was destroyed in 70AD, when the Romans killed about 1.5 million Jews, and ultimately renamed the land of Judea, Palestina as an insult to the surviving Jews over their past mortal enemies, the Phillistines. I think these are a few good reasons among the many that exist, that the nation of Israel has the right to exist where it stands, and that the multi-national, so-called Palestinians are little more than squatters and should be evicted back to the nations of their origins.
