The original Jews were there under sufferance for over 4,000 years, the arab muslims arrived during the 19c as itinerant farm workers looking for work. The Ottomans invited European Jews to migrate to Palestine as the arab muslims refused to stay there long enough to set down roots. The Ottomans allowed the Jews to buy land and to work it unhindered and unarmed. Israel is similar to Europe because Europe is a tried and tested model of democracy and endeavour. Islam is a failed dictatorship that has splintered and became unstable.
As far as Europe is concerned Israel is part of Europe as it is a European style nation with European standards. Many Americans work in the CERN labs and are also engaged in the development of the Navigation system. The satellite system has been up and running for some years now, and because of it the need for morse code has been dropped for all radio spectrum users.
Ask your imam for more up to date information in future as he is feeding you BULLSHIT.
Have actually read what I wrote? You are agreeing with me. You are so wrapped up in hate and anger you can't think or comprehend what is being written. Grow up
But you and those in the boiled room are so wrapped up trying to show that the land actually belongs to the Arabs that you really appear like a bunch of Energizer Bunnies who are charged up each morning when you enter the boiler room and told to set forth on as many forums as you can get to all day long.. I guess the boiler room gals and guys can't stand to see the Jews governing one tiny, tiny piece of real estate in the Middle East. Meanwhile, it's a shame that the rest of the Middle East countries weren't more like European countries so that they would be more advanced instead of being the way they are now. Can you imagine how those Bedouin (which early travelers to the Holy Land saw) lived before the Jews made that swamp land livable? The only places that looked livable were the cities where the Jews resided.
When have I said the land belongs to the "Arabs". I have said that the Christians and Muslims of Palestine that were not evicted from their homes and land should be afforded a decent life and should not be held under occupation.
There were hardly any Jews to populate these cities you speak of, before 1850 Palestine had only a "handful" of Jews according to the British Interim Report of the Mandatory, and I quote:
"The country is under-populated because of this lack of development. There are now in the whole of Palestine hardly 700,000 people, a population much less than that of the province of Gallilee alone in the time of Christ.* (*See Sir George Adam Smith "Historical Geography of the Holy Land", Chap. 20.) Of these 235,000 live in the larger towns, 465,000 in the smaller towns and villages. Four-fifths of the whole population are Moslems. A small proportion of these are Bedouin Arabs; the remainder, although they speak Arabic and are termed Arabs, are largely of mixed race. Some 77,000 of the population are Christians, in large majority belonging to the Orthodox Church, and speaking Arabic. The minority are members of the Latin or of the Uniate Greek Catholic Church, or--a small number--are Protestants.
The Jewish element of the population numbers 76,000. Almost all have entered Palestine during the last 40 years. Prior to 1850 there were in the country only a handful of Jews. In the following 30 years a few hundreds came to Palestine. Most of them were animated by religious motives; they came to pray and to die in the Holy Land, and to be buried in its soil. -
