There has never been in all history a nation called palestine. This is an invention of modern times. When the region was broken up, a large swath of land was given to muslim "palestinians". It is called Jordan. THAT is where these hateful people should be forced to go. But I must say, iy is fascinating to watch Scripture come to life right before our eyes. Muslims are slaughtering thousands by the month all over the world, yet the nations are focused on, and demonstrating their hate of the Jews, and Israel, for defending itself from rocket barrages into it's cities. Simply amazing!!! That's how you know satan is in these people's heart. Even so called christians here.
It's quite ironic that you're defending 'Israel', because the majority of the Israeli people do not agree with their government's actions, and in fact the vast
majority of the Jewish public believe Palestine deserve their own state.
It's also rather ironic that you use the argument that Palestine doesn't exist, because until recently, neither did Israel. If we're getting technical, Palestine was an Ottoman state.
The real catalyst for the conflict between Jews and Palestinians was the Franco-Syrian war. Shortly before that war, Arab King Faisal led a revolt against the remnants of the Ottoman Empire and captured Damascus, instating a central Arab government for the governing of the remnants of the breaking Ottoman Empire. The French conspired in Europe and made Syria a French mandate, and Faisal almost immediately pushed for Syria to become an Arab state independent of France, with the US's backing. Of course, the French wouldn't have it and eventually the two ended up in conflict.
The French defeated Faisal, forced him out and many citizens had to flee to Iraq and other middle-Eastern states, while the British made Faisal King of Iraq. Obviously at this point in time, the state of Israel had not been founded and the Jews where as much 'homeless' as the Palestinians.
Effectively, the Jewish-Palestine conflict began because their land was stolen by Western governments, and instead of the two recognizing their mutual oppression, they fought over the land, mostly because the British seemed intent on dishonoring their former recognition of Faisal's status as a middle-eastern leader and eventually sided with the Jews, assassinating prominent Arab leaders. The Americans where nowhere to be found, content to say nothing.
Once world war 2 started, there was some reconciliation between Jews and Palestinians, if only for the British government's ends, when the Jews and Palestinian Arabs actually fought together in combined regiments under British rule against the Nazi's in Northern Africa. There had also been a fairly positive response among many Arabs and Jews to the proposition of a partitioned Palestine, but many on either side also found it to unfairly favour the Jewish in regards to the acreage of land ownership proposed to them.
The British, after the Holocaust, gave many Jews asylum and citizenship while virtually ignoring the Palestinian Arabs, while many hardline Zionists and Arabs attacked the British, whom I assume they blamed for instigating many of the conflicts in the first place.
There was thereafter a formal partitioning agreement proposed to split Palestinian occupied land into a Jewish and Arab state, but the Palestinians rejected because the Jews were to be given an extraordinarily larger portion of land than the Palestinians, which led to a decimation of Palestinian forces by British backed Israel, resulting in huge refugee problems for Palestine.
The British responded barely a year later by pushing to create the State of Israel, effectively giving all Palestinian land to the Jews and the conflict has gone on ever since.
If I was a Palestinian, I'd probably feel quite aggrieved too.
