Islam is about conquest and jihad.<BR/><BR/>I take exception, BTW to your premise that the Jews `took Muslim land'.<BR/><BR/>The Jews always lived in Palestine, which was mostly a depopulated wasteland except for the Jewish cities of Safed and Jerusalem.<BR/><BR/>Inthe 1880's Jews from Europe began buying land through the Jewish national fund and rebuilding the country...which attracted Arabs fromthe Hejaz, Egypt, etc.<BR/><BR/>The League of Nations originally granted ALL of Palestine for a Jewish state after WWI. The British gave 80% of that land to their pals,the Hashemite Arabs in 1923 and crated the original `Palestinian' state, Jordan, who's population is 80% Palestinian.<BR/><BR/>In 1948, the UN voted on a SECOND partition of Palestine, which the Jews accepted. The Arabs attacked the Jews and attempted to massacre them, and the pre-1967 lines were merely ceasefire lines, since the Arabs never recognized Israel (and mostly still don't).<BR/><BR/>In 1967, the Arabs again tried to destroy Israel and failed. Since then, Israel has returned 90% of the land it captured in 1967 back to the Arabs, and even provided the so-called `palestinians' with land for a SECOND Palestinian Arab state via the Oslo Accords, in exchange for `peace'.<BR/><BR/>You see how well that's worked out.<BR/><BR/>The idea of a second `palestinian state' is a scam of the first order, and if they were fighting anybody but Israel they would have been forgotten a long time ago.Freedom Fighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649470110087808596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-1151266412384746682006-06-25T13:13:00.000-07:002006-06-25T13:13:00.000-07:00This may seem naive, but I just don't get the whol...This may seem naive, but I just don't get the whole Israel-Arab war thing. Ok, so the Jews took the Arabs' land some 50 years ago...why don't they get over it, and rebuild their countries and economies instead of sending off their young men with bombs around their wastes to kill innocent women and children???!!!<BR/><BR/>Excuse me while I go bang my head against a wall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
