at this point we are rehashing the old -chicken or egg argument. I am sure the first human that walked across the land now known as ISRAEL (NOT PALESTINE), was not israeli or palestinian. Just because you were there last does not mean you have right to them forever!
as for america, i agree that indians were here first. So if the US doesnt have to give it back to the indians why should the jews give back israel?
Look we are not going to get answers to these questions. I would love it if the palestinians could live in peace with the jews in israel. However, the fact there have been MUTUAL problems in the region does not in anyway give any whacko the right to destroy over 5,000 US families. Turn your TV and look into the eyes of those wives, husbands, children looking for their missing family members, knowing that they will never see them again. anybody that thinks that WE, the US, brought this on ourselves, can take a plane from england, come to NY and say that to my face.
