    their new homes

    You mean the land that they illegally stole from Palestinian civilians, butchering anyone that refused to be made homeless?

      Most Palestinians aren’t from the immediate region anyway. It also comes from a time when the Ottoman empire was still around and people just really thought about themselves as members of their village religious group or semi migratory tribes. Claim that their land was stolen is an argument but it’s not a very clear cut one.

        The only claim I recognize to the land currently being fought over is that of The Kingdom of Jerusalem as proclaimed in 1099 by Godfrey of Bouillon. The title has passed to the current rightful claimant of the Kingdom, His Majesty Felipe VI, King of Spain. I demand the restoration of the rightful Catholic monarch as the blessings of the One True Church is the only way to bring peace to the Holy Land. We’ve tried allowing the Hebrew and the Saracen to govern the territory and we’ve witnessed nothing but chaos as they squabble over their false doctrines and heresies, shedding their unholy blood on the land that rightfully belongs to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to be administered by his divinely appointed representative, Felipe VI.

        Isn’t this the same argument Israel is using? That this land historically belonged to them, and they are entitled to it and have all the rights to evict Palestinians, because you know, history.

          They don’t evict Palestinians, though. While on the other hand many Palestinians want to kill or exile all Jews from the area (which is the majority of Israelis).

              A very quick internet search proves otherwise.

              I am not sure you should speak on this topic if you’re this ill informed.
