Israel just got...

You can't, but he is cleverly trying to fool people who don't know any better into believing that such a place ever did exist. He does this all the time, same with just blatantly rewriting history, he presumes people will ignore it or just accept his word for it.
 
Yes I am, but I am willing to bet that to those hardcore extreme Arabs, food and water does become a second priority, because I believe that their hatred towards Israel has consumed their entire life.
 
Through this period, no Jewish claim was made to the land, which remained for the most part, majority Arab. And you are in fact incorrect, The last Crusader stronghold of Acre fell to Muslim armies in 1291, and in reality, by 30 years before that, the vast majority of Palestine was in the hands of Muslims, excepting a few walled cities.

Saladin was indeed a Kurd, not an Arab, Kurds are most closely related to Persians, since they are an Iranian people, but they have a closer relation to Croats or Germans than they do to Jews. Nevertheless, his dynasty was superceded by the Mamlukes by 1260.



Arabs had the majority population there until recently, and had ruled it more recently. It doesn't matter that the Arabs did not actually control their own state there when it was given to the Jews, if that was the case, Belgium could have done whatever they wanted with the Belgian Congo, including use it as a gigantic slave labor camp or for that matter, give it to X group to settle, since they were granted the land via a treaty.
 
First off, it wasn't "given to the Jews." You seem to be forgetting the 1948 War for Independence, which Israelis fought/died for and won. The U.N could declare whatever it wanted for mandate, that absolutely did not create Israel. The Arab world rejected the thought of ANY Jewish state in the Middle East, attacked, and lost. This is the reason Israel legimitely exists today and its borders have close to no relation to the original U.N Mandate. They attacked continuously for the past 60 years and have lost more, this continues to this day. Your Belgian Congo analogy is beyond ridiculous, whites did not originally establish, rule, and settle the land, nor do whites have any legitimite claim to it. That was the case of a foreign power under King Leopold or whoever it was at that time coming into sovereign and long-held African kingdoms and conquering them. In direct contrast, Israel is and always has been the homeland of the Jewish people, since long before Muhammad was even born. The word "Jerusalem" is indeed a Hebrew word, ironically meaning "City of Peace." They did not conquer any sort of sovereign nation or kingdom in re-establishing Israel, the Ottomans had already been long defeated the WW1. The land belonged to nobody.
 
But yeah, I don't like war. If that makes me a hippy, so be it.

But I honestly hate most hippies I meet, with a passion. They're really really annoying, and they stink, too.
 
TOO BAD YOU CAN'T PHOTOSHOP PHRIDAY AWAY THE WAR, HUH? BET YOU WITH YOU COULD DO THAT, HUH, HIPPY? AIN'T HAPPENING. ISRAEL IS HERE TO STAY.

USA. USA.
 
Ultimately, what did create Israel was a UN decision backed up by Western members against a much smaller number of other states who opposed it, by playing off Holocaust guilt to force Westerners into action in passing the Mandate.



It's similar to the Belgian Congo, Leopold just went in, got it by a treaty with the other Western states against the wishes of the people living there, and then forced them all to get him rubber and ivory so he could make several billion dollars, adjusted to today's currency. Now, the Israelis are not enslaving the Palestinians, but they do make life difficult for them with the checkpoints, home demolitions, and in other ways treating them like animals in a way which most would claim is the antithesis of Liberal democracy.
