There is israel only because of international law. There were no invading jewish armies.
Originally the whole area was designated by the League of Nations for a future israel, [b]including today's Jordan. Churchill redrew the map in 1922 to exempt Trans-Jordan - and there's your Palestine, there's your two state solution, in place since 1922.[/b]
That is true, and it is a good point soren.
And one which is totally ignored by the mainstream media, when this issue is discussed.
The TRUTH is that, those ppl in Gazza, and in Samaria [WB] are the illegal occupiers and invaders of Israeli land, as part of an ISLAMIC war of [re]conquest.
Under international conventions, Jordan was the designated 'homeland' of the 'Palestinian' ppl.
Why don't the 'palestinians' go there, live in peace with their neighbours, and build a nation which they could be proud of?

Arabs / muslims have refused to accept these
post war determinations, of the allocation of the lands the defunct Ottoman Empire
territories, territories which previously belonged to non-muslim cultures, and were then subsumed within an ISLAMIC empire, after invasion.
And today, since 1948, muslims have steadfastly declared that the land of Israel, belongs to them [exclusively].
And that it must now again, be reabsorbed into their own ISLAMIC lands, through a religious war of [re]conquest.
Yet successive wars against Israel, have failed to deliver the desired outcome of Arabs / muslims.
To date, Israel has prevailed in each conflict.
Throughout human history, wars have always been regarded as a huge "Reset button" on all property rights, for nations and individuals.
Yet the muslims of the region have steadfastly insisted,
.....
they will not make peace with their neighbour.
If this conflict against Israel is justified, why doesn't Turkey demand its Ottoman Empire territories back???
Q.
Why doesn't Turkey go to war with Lebanon, Syria and Jordan, to reclaim its land???
A.
....coz they got over it!
But ISLAMISTS,
......don't get over, and NEVER make peace with those who are resistant to THEIR will.
The Arab / 'Palestinian' conflict with Israel, has been *portrayed* by 'Palestinians' as 'a fight for
our land'.
It is not.
It is a conflict between ISLAM and those unbelievers in the area [the Israelis].
'Judea', Samaria, and Gaza, are the ancient homelands of the Jewish people.
The word 'Judea' ring a bell?
What is the root of that word?
Dead Sea scrolls, etc?
The Jewish people have as much claim on 'Palestine' as anyone.
.....in my opinion.
