The Jewish people originated in that homeland. That makes the Jewish people indigenous to that homeland. The Jewish people are the oldest, surviving ethnic, cultural, national group in that territory. You can't possibly be denying this reality?
The Jews arrived in Israel about 3300 years ago. Muslims didn’t exist until the 7th century.
All good questions. I don't see Israel ready to make dramatic concessions, like a second state, for peace.
Why is that, do you think?
Sorry, you don't get to call 'dibs' on someone else's homeland.
You mean like unilaterally giving up any presence in Gaza? How did that work out?
Maybe they want the Palestinians gone so they can have the entire country?
That's what Israelis have been telling the world.
Jews were one of several a Semitic tribes that lived in that area. Arabs are another.
They stole it first is not a real convincing arguement.
Hang on there. We are trying to establish how territory becomes "someone's" homeland.
There were never any Arab countries were Israel is now it has been the so called Palestine was always part of some other empire other than when the Jews thier own there.... Learn some real history fool
Muslims owned that land for 1,500 years. I doubt Jews owned it that long.Says someone who thinks Muslims were there before the Jews
Assuming this is true, what then excludes the Jewish tribes from self-determination and gives exclusive self-determination to the singular Arab tribe? If BOTH peoples lived in that area what makes the area belong to "someone" and not "someone else"? Make it make sense.
There were plenty of non-Jewish countries in the area, read the Bible.
That the various nations invaded, took over and stole from Israel that s well documented. Arabs? Not so much.
So if "Jews" own the land for longer it automatically becomes there's ?
