okay, it looks like most of the people in this thread who are toggling and finely caressing jewish nutsacks are in need of a history lesson.
the palestinians can trace their ancestors back to the fertile crescent further than jews can. most contemporary studies show that palestinians were probably the original canaanites who tried to tell the invading jews to go f^ck themselves and take their shi*ty religion back to whatever mountain it crawled out of. then, the old testament god permitted the jews to successfully commit a genocide over them and claim the land for themselves, where they probably did nothing but aggressively smell the booty and loot they won with their big, crooked noses. so then jacob's people left the land because of famines (civilization needs big, tough men to do the plowing and fighting, which jews are anatomically incapable of doing), and traveled to egypt. here they were slaves, but noooo ... that wasnt good enough for them. i mean, wtf did they expect, they just brought down like 10,000 of their lazy, useless selves to an empire built on the backbone of hard work. so naturally, the jews hated hard work, and decided "dude, we gotta get the f^ck outta here ... to the desert we go!" yeah, and then the pharoah pursued the jews who were leaving "wait! you forgot to pay your taxes!", and they were all drowned in the sea. kinda ... brutal.
so after taking 40 years to find the land it should have taken them three months to find, they settled again and formed a kingdom which eventually split. then both kingdoms got their holy asses handed to them on a silver platter courtesy of the assyrians and babylonians who totally wrecked their shi* and destroyed their silly temple whilst laughing and eating pork bbq on its musty remains.
okay, so then the persians controlled it, then the romans conquered the land and exiled the jews. some spread across north africa and went to east asia, some landed in spain, and they all intermixed to leave behind a mut of a community with no real sense of genetic distinction, contrary to their claims. around the caspian region, when the caliphate and byzantines were competing, a group of hideous savages named "khazars" converted to judaism around 700 AC. they mixed strongly with many german populations throughout the years and became known as the ashkenazis, the numerically dominant faction of jews. in the late 1800s and early 1900s when the british began to occupy the region, these barbarian-descended fake jews got on their dirty knees and begged for the british to kill all those smelly arab bastards and give them land. oh, how they deserved land for all the hard work they did in running banks over the centuries ... anyway, they were assisted by brits and frenchmen via organization, weaponry, etc. and stole a densely populated region of the world.
a proud and noble group of people would have fought for a land they thought was theirs, or a land they truly wanted, with their own hands. sure, it would involve a lot more beheading and rape, but even that in and of itself holds a unique charm we've come to overlook and, even worse, repudiate. so yeah, the jewish plan of leaving a land for 2000 years and begging people to take it back for you does work, but its not a very cool method.
Get lost. Banned.
