The issue is the legality of Israel to own East Jerusalem, not the Jewish people.
To JakeStarkey: Must you always clutter up my threads? The current conflict began in the 1920s, but thousands of years of occupation gave the deed to the Jews. Res ipsa loquitur.
Incidentally, Jews are not a primitive people whose homeland is being threatened by an advanced people. Muslims are the backward people living in the 8th century threatening an advanced people.
What thousands of years of occupation? Even if you include Judah, Jews ruled in Israel for a little over 200 years. The Romans ruled 3 times longer and if you include the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, together with Christian Roman (Byzantine) rule, Christians ruled and inhabited Palestine 4 times longer than Jews.
Jews ruled in the city of Yathrib for more than 1000 years before the rapist pig
of Mecca ravaged that city with murder, pillage and rape. Time to dig up the filthy carcass and return the stolen city now named "medina" to its rightful owners
Though the Jews were the economic engine of Yathrib/Medina for a time, they did not found or rule the place. The Arabians/Bedouins had been at the oasis for many centuries before the Jews arrived. The Jews arrived as traders, merchants and businessmen after 70 AD and while they had influence, the majority of the people were pagans of the local Arabian tribes, Bedouins. So, you are full of crap, as usual.[/QUOTE
wrong again ----ya pile of camel kharah------jews were in arabia LONG before 70 AD--------how do we KNOW? easy----we have communication between the
"prophet" EZRA ---(something like 300 - 400 BC) and the well established jewish communities of arabia----specifically Yathrib and even Yemen.------ya-kharah -------literacy is an interesting feature of real history------so unavailable to piles of camel Kharah. Of course there were "ishmaelites" wandering the desert----
illiterate, unwashed, criminals. Not news, monte dear. By that time there were bums even in the deserts of southern Israel and the Sinai ------there are lots
of gypsies in Pennsylvannia too. SO? Try to learn some REAL history
For anyone interested------Baathist revisionist history holds that jews FLED
to the arms of "arabs" -----when the romans came and razed Jerusalem. in 70 AD, WRONG!!!-------jews had established communities (literate ----a big time
INNOVATION)------arabs did not have so much as an alphabet until about
300 AD, Keep in mind-----baathism is "arab nationalism" ------kinda like
Nazism is GERMAN NATIONALISM, According to the Baathist
revisionist history-------arabs invented calculus
