I don't have a problem with Jewish people or their religion at all. I think Israel is in the wrong and spending waaaay too much time defending what they have done in Palestine.
Why don't you just slow down and read A Palestinian Christian Cry for Reconciliation?
Many of us are on your side.. Don't be afraid to read it.
The point is that Jewish history is NOT the only history in the region.
"I think Israel is in the wrong and spending waaaay too much time defending what they have done in Palestine."
Unfortunately, it is the other way around.
It is Muslims and Christians attempting to destroy the only Jewish Nation on the planet simply because the Jews had the courage to say enough with the non enlightened ideologies of Christianity and Islam, which will always refuse to see the Jews as 100% humans. No different than how White supremacists view Blacks and there minorities.
The whole Mandate for Palestine, including TranJordan was part of the Jewish ancient homeland. It was never part of a Palestinian state, Empire, Caliphate or otherwise which would give those people an equal right to the land, as the Jews.
In any history book, including Muslim and Arab ones, before WWI......Palestine was the land of the ancient Israelites, of the Hebrew Scriptures, etc. They all acknowledge who were and are the indigenous people of that land.
Jews having the courage to go against what others have decided are not their rights, to have their own sovereign Nation, and stop living under Christian and Muslim powers as second citizens, is what has brought the attacks by Muslims since 1920.
There was a region called Palestine, not a country, because Herodotus called the Philistine coastal area Palestinea, and the Romans changed Judea's name to the region of the People who had once defeated the Israelites. And the British borrowed the humiliating name to the Mandate for the Jewish Homeland.
If you ever happen to go to that area again, try going to the Museums in Israel. There is a clear history there.
As I have posted before, there is Nothing, truly no history to be had for a Palestinian people, before Arafat and the KGB created that nationality.
And just like the idea of letting the Jews go from the Arab conquered countries, it was all an idea to help destroy Israel.
Arabs never had a Palestinian identity before 1964, because there were no Palestinians, only Arabs.
What has Israel done in Palestine?
Made it bloom. The Ottomans destroyed vast areas by removing all the trees.
And the Arabs for 500 years never fought the Ottomans, for any reason. As long as it was a Muslim power.
The Muslims fought the British, because they were Christians, and they fight Israel because it is a Jewish Nation ON its ancient homeland.
The Arabs never fought Jordan, which took 78% of Palestine. Because they are Muslims.
They will never fight for Jordan. Only for the 20% of the Mandate which is in Jewish Hands. As it should be. As the rest of it also should have been, had it not been for the British, and the extreme Muslims who could not accept a sovereign Jewish Nation.
