Stealing Palestinians land on one hand and making yourself look like a partner of peace is truly deceptive.It's no wonder Palestinians don't trust Israel.Israeli soldiers issued orders barring residents of four small villages in the southern West Bank from their land
These people have every right to be angry, don't you think.The villagers stand to lose more than 5,000 dunums (five square kilometers) of land, on which more than 60 Palestinian families from the villages west of Hebron depend for their livelihood, the mayor said
What a cruel and heartless crime, almost 10% of their land taken, it was already a meager amount of land to start with. Where is the justice? Is stealing one's land and livelihood not terrorrism?once completed, the wall will annex 9.5 percent of Palestinian land.
Actually it was stolen by a mostly non-indiginous people from Europe and Russia,if their of European/Russian descent, why come to a land that is not yours from halfway around the world? This reminds me of the problem in Florida, where they have an invasive species problem causing havoc.Considering that the West Bank was rightfully won by Israel
With all due respect, you shouldn't be having a hard time being hugely bothered or believing these people have a right to anything with regards to the land because,Palestinians have been living on that land for generations, as they are from the middleast, thats the only place they know as home.On the otherhand the non-indiginous Europeans/Russians have been living in their ancestral lands in Germany,Poland, Russia etc., for countless generations, Palestinians didn't go over their to claim their land.That would be thievery and that's wrong.I'm having a hard time getting hugely bothered by this or believing these people have a "right" to anything with regards to the land.
They had no choice, why would they want to give up territory that's already theirs in the first place?They abdicated that right when they refused to agree to have the land designated to them legally back in the 1940's, choosing to go to war instead
Why would you have to split something that's rightfully yours if you don't want too?would you split your money in your wallet between me and you for no reason?If you offer to split something with me
It was the Palestinian's who were attacked since at the time they owned most of the land and were the major population.complaining about Israel taking action in land it conquered after being ATTACKED is thick with irony
again, in reality it was the Palestinians who had the majority of the territory and indiginous population who were attacked and threatened to be usurped.Only with regards to Israel have I ever seen a situation where countries choosing to attack it, and then lose, somehow still have rights and claims to that which they lost.

i have a simplistic question.....how far back in history do we go to determine "ownership" of lands?

Not too far, as their are owners of the land still alive and born before the creation of Israel, with authentic documentation that were obtained before Israel even existed, but those documents are not honored by Israel because those documents were obtained when the land was called Palestine. Also the documents are handed down/preserved by their children/next of kin.i have a simplistic question.....how far back in history do we go to determine "ownership" of lands?

It's the Palestinians who own the documents issued from Palestine.so you wanted it to be handed back to the british?

doing some further research, the last time the palestinians had their own state, it was a tiny wittle one next to the kingdom of israel, a few hundred years BC
on there they're the phillistines, palestine being a cognate of an ancient word for "people of phillistine"
i hate this stuff.

The name continued as the administrative territory held by various conquorers. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, the Jews that moved to what is now Israel called themselves "Palestinians" based on the name of the territory they wished to claim. The Arabs did not use that name to describe themselves, prefering to self-identify as ERgyptian or southern Syrian. Only following the creration of Israel did some Arabs living there adopt the name "Palestinians" for themselves. My understanding was that this took sme time (particularly as the west bank was annexed by Jorden) and gaza occupied by Egypt, and was in part driven by the propganada effort of maintaining pressure on Israel.

Phillistines were not a middle eastern peoples, culturally related to the Mycenians. They had, and have, no relationship with modern palestinians.
the onyl way to infer any relationship is by using the names of the two groups, but this is easily explained. the Romans, when they threw out all the Jews, renamed the territory "Palestine" after the Phillistines, to represent a termination of Judean interests in that territory, following destruction of ther temple state of the Jews that had lived there previously.

Of course, over time, with common history and the divergence from other states, the "Palestinian" identity has crystallized into something distinct and robust, but there is no conceivable way to tie the Palestinians as a population group to the greek phillistines.
oh ok, the nomenclature had me all mixed up.

Are you sure it wasn't because of your staying up all night with the cheerleading squad from The U of NSW?
The Palestinians are descended from the Canaanites, when the land was called Canaan.Hadrian renamed the entire area philistine in 135AD after the philistines, the name stuck. But the Palestinians are the descendents of the Canaanites.doing some further research, the last time the palestinians had their own state, it was a tiny wittle one next to the kingdom of israel, a few hundred years BC
