If the U.S. were blockaded and Americans were forced to live under occupation, Americans would fire rockets and anything else they could find at the occupier.

That's a matter of perspective isn't it. I see Hamas as defending itself and standing up for what is right.
I think Egypt should take in the Palestinians refuges once Israel banishes them from the region, and perhaps Egypt would be kind enough to give them some land too. They have PLENTY to spare.

Pbel every once in a while goes with a thread like "The World is.. " and bad stuff against Israel...anything else?
The "majority" were not "illegal immigrants" - time for that meme to be put to rest. Even given the notoriously inexact data - the highest estimate for "illegal" Arab immigration is well below any "majority". There was also Jewish immigration, both legal and illegal. The Palestinians have as much "ancestral rights" as the Jews do to Palestine.

No, they don't have any rights. The land was partitioned and given to the Israels by the Brits (who owned the territory by mandate) after the first world war.
Yes, they do have rights. As the indiginous people, occupying that land when it was "partitioned". They absolutely have rights.
Let's put this religious ancestral rights crap to bed for good and focus on why Israel has the land today in modern times. It is because the country who owned the territory at the time, partitioned it in this way.
Absolutely agree. The events of thousands years ago or even WW1...now almost a century ago..have no rational bearing on modern rights.
The reality on the ground is this:
Israel exists, it's not going anywhere, so deal with it.
The Palestinians exist, they aren't going anywhere, so deal with it.
Right now, the Jews have achieved their state, and it has blossomed.
It is time for their Arab neighbors to accept this and acknowledge it.
It is also time for another wrong to be righted: the Palestinian people's right to self-determination needs to be recognized in the form of a state. The Arabs need to quit using them as a paws for their own political ends and get serious about pressuring Palestinian leadership to recognize Israel and Israel needs to stop it's policy of land theft and settlement building. Neither side is going to get the entire territory and I don't think one state is a feasable solution, too much hate and distrust on both sides. So...start with 1967 borders, and negotiate landswaps...maybe.
Wrong. The legal partitioning of the land is completely relevant. The so-called "palestinians" (which everyone know is MADE UP by the Egyptians - the "palestinians" are nothing but Egyptian/Jordanian nomads - LOL), have no "rights" to Gaza or any of the land that Israel occupies.
Which legal partitioning - there have been multiple ones - do you get to pick and choose?
It doesn't matter what you call the Palestinians. The name might have been a recent term but the people have existed there for much longer. This is a typical argument made for the sole purpose of diminishing the rights of a people.
Israel WON additional land when Egypt tried to attack her. Israel is under NO obligation to give up any land to the Egyptians/palestinians. They attacked Israel over the land, and they lost . . . badly. They will LOSE this time too, and it is their own fault.
Seems to me that if Israel wishes to be part of the international community then it needs to abide by agreed upon codes - laws that Israel itself is perfectly willing to use when needed. But - say that you are right, if someone gains land in war, they are a llowed to keep it. So, they keep Westbank and Gaza, that gives them an extra 4.4 million citizens but messes up the demographics.
Are you kidding me? Israel should tell the international community to screw. Israel has to worry about HER citizens. That is the priority for Israel. Like it or not, if the "pallys" don't stop with their terrorist tactics, they will more than likely be wiped out.
Israel should push them back into Egypt where they should be. Israel has done many, many acts of kindness and good for those ingrates, and whenever they TRY to treat them like human beings, they pay a price for it. I don't blame them one bit. They would be STUPID to listen to the likes of you.
"They gave it to Israel,"
Could you document that?
This brings me back round to why don't the Palestinians attack the Brits? It's because they are ignorant cowards and bigots.
What would be the point?
That is who is responsible for their current predicament, right? I think it's wonderful that Israel is there in the ME to keep a little bit of sanity amongst the insane and brainwashed over in the middle east. They contribute good things to the world and are good people. I think they should push the palestinians into Egypt and let Egypt deal with them. They are a creation of the Egyptians anyways.![]()
So you support ethnic cleansing even though many of them are indiginous the Palestine?
Ethnic cleansing? No. War? Yes. The act of lobbing bombs into Israel is an act of war that should be taken seriously when you are a country with citizens who matter to you.
Should they hold back? No, they should not. They should hit them with everything they can. Maybe THEN they will stop.
All that was after Britain occupied Palestine with the Balfour declaration in its pocket and began colonizing Palestine on the behalf of the foreign Zionists.
There ancestral lands were never in Palestine as the records show, even Winny told the house of commons that the majority were illegal immigrants back in 1939.

Only ignorant brainwashed idiots "know" or believe the Zionist propaganda. The Palestinians are and have always been the Christians and Muslims that lived in Palestine since Roman times. Just because some converted to Islam does not make them any less Palestinian.
The Jews were European colonists, and will eventually end up like European colonists in places where the Europeans were not able to destroy the indigenous people. Algeria, Rhodesia, South Africa etc.
I've seen a lot of "say so" but no documents.I don't recall seeing any documents of Britain transferring any land to Israel.That's because you didn't read the links, obviously. Google it for yourself. I've already supplied PLENTY of data here.
Besides, if you are NOT aware of that fact, then I feel sorry for you. That's pretty darn sad.
Sure I do, and I have never seen any document showing Britain transferring any land to Israel.I've seen a lot of "say so" but no documents.I don't recall seeing any documents of Britain transferring any land to Israel.
WTF is wrong with you? You don't know history?
It tells all about it in the link. Sorry if you are incapable of reading comprehension, but I can't help you with that.
This brings me back round to why don't the Palestinians attack the Brits?<snip>
This also makes me wonder what would the ME be like if Israel was not there.

However I did find this in your link:
Britain had no land to give away.The mandate was a legal and administrative instrument, not a geographical territory.
This brings me back round to why don't the Palestinians attack the Brits?<snip>
You are starting to hit the nail on the head.
