Islam considers all non Muslims to be infidels. That is a fact.So let's give the one land that is Jewish and make it Arab / Muslim failed terrorist state number 40 just because you hate the Jews and infidels as much as they do. Ain't gonna happen.And the middle eastern refugees that comprise most of Israel's current population who were stripped of their belongings and told to "go back to where you came from" by the Arabs?There was no such thing as a Palestine or Palestinian people
Arafat invented them.
You are just ignorant. Arafat didn't show up on the scene until the 1960s. Some Palestinians went to my Church in the 1950s and one of our houseboys was Palestinian.
I don’t care.
I know.. Theft and murder is acceptable to you as long as the European refugees get more land.
In true IslamoNazi form, apparently think there aren't enough Arab / Muslim countries and they don't have enough land they invaded and cinquered compared to the less than 1% of land that Israel sits on, which happens to be the religious, cultural and ancestral homeland of the Jews to begin with.
Of course.. There have always been more Arabs..
What sort of immigrants do you want to take over YOUR ancestral home at the point of a gun?
People of the Book are not infidels. People who worship the God of Abraham are not infidels. Your problem is ignorance and a desire to justify erasing the Palestinians.
No one is trying to erase the Palestinians. All that we are saying is that these Arabs, who have only called themselves Palestinians since 1963-64, would never have called themselves this identity if it had not been for the Mandate for Palestine to re create the Jewish Nation on the Jewish Homeland.
The Palestinian Museum in Ramallah, which you did not say anything about, clearly only has Palestinian History going back to 1920, denoting that they are a new identity, nationality, a people who would have continued to be called Arab, or the clan each came from, to this day.
The Balfour Declaration happened. The Mandate for Palestine happened. The defeat of the Arab armies in 1948, 1967 and 1973 happened.
Do note, again, that today's Palestinians and their Palestinian Museum cannot connect at all......today's Arabs to the Arabs from 10,000 years ago, or from the time of Abraham, or even the time of the Romans.
No.. islam doesn't consider Jews, Christians infidels. They are people of the book.
They were called Palestinians in 1950.. The refugee camps in Lebanon were Palestinian. I know. I visted them as a little girl.
Both articles contradict your belief:
NU calls for end to word 'infidels' to describe non-Muslims - National - The Jakarta Post
As an alternative, Moqsith and other clerics agreed to use the word muwathinun (citizen), to demonstrate that Muslims and non-Muslims have equal status as citizens in a country.www.thejakartapost.com

The timing of this anti-kafir push is hardly accidental. Indonesia's conservative Muslim clerics are gaining influence through social media with hard-line messages.

See the Ottoman Census of 1870.. or you can read the Palestinian documents at the Avalon Project, Yale. Its just the documents not commentary. Jews were a tiny minority compared to Muslims and Christians.
Or, you can go back further and read Ibn Battuta and Rabbi Benjamin of Tudela.
By the time of Christ most Jews lived outside of Palestine. There were large Jewish communities in Baghdad, Damascus, Allepo, Alexandria, Rome, Elephantine Island and all around the Med Sea. Palestine was pretty harsh, stony, arid and hardscrabble.

Fact: all Israelis, including Jews, were forcibly relocated OUT of Gaza by Israel in 2005. It was To meet the Oslo Accords requirement the Israelis return Gaza to the Palestinians in order to achieve peace.
That worked well, didn’t it?

If the people in Gaza were Jews, they wouldn’t vote into office Hamas, whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel and cites the Koran’s call for the destruction of all Jews.
If the people in Gaza were Jews, they wouldn’t be wasting their money on terror tunnels and rockets to fire on other Jews. They would be building schools and infrastructure and trading with the world.

Got news for you Surada. In 1947 there were approximately 1.2 million Palestinians residing in Israel. And now there are only just under 6 million of them left. Yep, Israel is "erasing" the Palestinians.

Ain't gonna happen.And the middle eastern refugees that comprise most of Israel's current population who were stripped of their belongings and told to "go back to where you came from" by the Arabs?There was no such thing as a Palestine or Palestinian people

They have a lot of children. Even so the Israelis have expelled nearly a million of them since 1947... and their 1967 land grab. They completely changed the demographics of Lebanon overnight and they still control Shaaba Farms and the GolanHeights.
Shameful.
When academics call Israel a "settler colonial" state, it is meant to isolate the Jewish state from the legitimate family of nations. Yet historically, colonies have related to a mother country. The Puritans saw themselves as English, Afrikaaners as Dutch, Muslim conquerors as Arabs. They spoke the mother country's language and attempted to transfer its culture to their new land.
The early, pre-state Zionists, however, sought to escape Europe, not to replicate it. They rejected Yiddish and adopted an old Middle East language - Hebrew - which they updated for modern purposes, while changing their German or Russian-sounding names.
Central to the Zionist enterprise was the conviction that they were returning home. No other transplanted society made such a claim. Jews had lived in the area continuously for thousands of years. The Hebrew language is Semitic, not Indo-European. Ancient Jewish artifacts could be found everywhere.
It is therefore more accurate to see Zionism as a form of nationalism - and Zionists as fulfilling a people's aspiration for self-determination in what they regard as their own land.

There is nothing to erase, Palestine never was a country and neither were the Palestinians ever a people.

Palestinians can't go back to their ancestral homelands of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia etc. because even the Arabs scoffed at the existence of a Palestinian when the idea came up.
