We should not forget that Palestine is illegally occupied by Israel and has suffered terribly at the hands of their occupier. Illegal checkpoints, separate buses and walkways for Palestinians. Different number plates for their cars, different health system, lower wages. An apartheid wall that puts the Berlin Wall to shame that cuts towns and villages in half.

This is why, while I don't agree with their actions, I can understand the Palestinians' anger.

@CrazyJoe and Strangerland,

I fully agree, and I would add that this abuse has been going on for several decades, and completely ignored by most of the world.

@CrazyJoe and Strangerland,

you have swallowed the islamist narrative hook, line, and sinker. Completely ignoring the historical, ideological, geographic, and demographic reality of the region. But it feels so good being an armchair preacher from far away, where nobody is plotting to kill you, isn´t it.

Maybe you'd be ok with being treated as a second class citizen in your own land, having to pass through checkpoints multiple times a day, but if I had to do that, I'd be pretty angry like the Palestinians too.

It has nothing to do with history or geology, it has to do with being treated like a human being in the only home you have.

But it feels good condemning and treating people like second class citizens from far away where you can travel unrestricted in your own lands without being treated like a second class citizen, doesn't it.

If a lie is repeated multiple times, people think its the truth.

All Israel is trying to do is protect is citizens from murderous thugs who manipulate clueless idealist air-heads into underserved sympathy.

Are we going by international law, or the Rapture Fantasist's playbook?

FYI, the region was already called Palestine while it was still under Roman empire control.

The Israelites were just one Tribe living there

Its me:

" FYI, the region was already called Palestine while it was still under Roman empire control. The Israelites were just one Tribe living there "

Well yes... the major tribe, in fact. But muslims did not even exist at the time, because islam was not invented yet (and would not be for several hundred years).

So what do you make of the Arab Muslim claim that they are the original and only "Palestinians"?

Waiting for your expert analysis.

Its funny how clueless air-heads whine about international law when they are at the receiving end.

The same bunch suddenly find historical references to justify their crimes when the murderous thugs they support go around killing people randomly.

I know you are obsessed with being anti-muslim.

In case you haven't noticed not all Arabs are Muslims, Arabs existed way before Islam and are one if many Tribes in the region that fought with the Israelites.

So both claims are just as valid.

Thats a sinkhole you descended into.

How many Arab Christians lived in the Middle-East 20 years ago and how many do today? Care to look at the numbers and try to form a simple analysis.

Rather than bringing in the mythical creature called the secular Arab, why don't you try to research whether this creature ever lived on this planet.

I suggest you Google Ba'athism.

Really, Ba'athism!!!!!!!!!!! , do you even understand what happened to it? We can spend countless hours conjuring fairy tales or try to resurrect the Dodo but lets talk what is real.

The 1st mention of Arabs is from 9th Century BC, plus lots of mentions of Arab Christians and Arab Jews.

The dodo lived on this planet, as did the Ba'athist. .
