President Harry Truman (the US President who recognized the State of Israel), said that Zionist Jews did not want just some of the Palestinian lands, they wanted all of them, and they also wanted to drive the Arabs into the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
well if you go by the bible...israel was promised to them by god...so thats why they didnt want the people who were there 1st to be there after israel was given to them....but like harry said how do you move 5-6 million people...
its always been a mess.............
There are no, were no Palestinians, unless when Greece & Romans named the Israeli land 'Palestine' after the long gone Philistines (you know like Goliath),. They referred to the Jews as Palestinian, which they hated (cuz they were Jews). Then the Roman's destroyed their temple & dispersed them. Tthe Arabs that wandered around that area, they called the Levant, were the dregs of Egypt & Jordan mostly - also why these 2 countries don't want the Gaza & West Bank people back. Not saying the Jews are totally innocent, but they are certainly the victims & have been every year when they get bombed or blown-up for 75 years. The Arabs want an Israeli genocide, never peace!
