One day, Yoruba will grow some balls to reclaim Ilorin and Fulani will tell the world it is their land and Yoruba are invaders. Can any right thinking person even contest ownership of Israel or even Jerusalem? Who even renamed that place "Palestine"?
Palestine was what ancient Greeks called Philistine. Philistines have been fighting with Israel from ages but were annihilated by the Assyrian empire.

David conquered Jerusalem from the Jebusite in about 1000 BC and made it the capital of Israel.

Romans conquered Jerusalem in 70 AD and renamed Israel Palestine. They ruled over the land for hundreds of years until moslems who conquered the Romans and took control of Palestine (Land of Israel) and conquered Jerusalem in 637 AD.

The Jews at that time were happy with the conquest because the Romans barred them from praying at the Temple Mount but moslems built their Al Aqsa moslem on that mount in 703 AD and declare it their third holiest mosque.

The Crusaders recaptured Jerusalem from Islamic rule in 1099 AD and control the city until 1187 AD.

Ottoman Empire conquered Jerusalem and I think it was at that point Israelis started dispersing from their land and the moslesm consolidated their hold on Palestines.

When Israelis returned after the Briitish Empire conquered the Ottoman Empire, they found that their had been taken over completely. The British created a small patch for Israelis to settle and in 1948 withdraw from the land.

When the British left, Israelis declared State of Israel on their own patch of land refusing to use the name Palestine and instead of the Arabian invaders to declare their own patch of land as State of Palestine, they went to war against Israel with their Arab League brothers and Israel won, taking part of Palestinian portion and refusing to relinguish them.

Remember that Palestinian portion was originally Israeli land before Romans conquered Israel and renamed the land.

Palestinians today are mostly Arabian migrants who settled on ancient Israeli land, and today, they are claiming a land that was more than 2,000 years older than Mohammed.

Egypt and and the Arab league is largely responsible for the ordeal the Palestinians are facing...
Those lands were not stolen, majority was acquired through conquest after the Arab-Israeli wars

Israel only expanded its grip on Palestinian lands (formally a British mandate) after the defeat of the Arab coalition in 1948 and 1967.

If the Arab league had allowed reason to prevail when the UN Resolution partitioned that land to Two States (Jewish State of Israel, and Arab State of Palestine) in 1947, perhaps by now, Palestine would have been a thriving country on their own with her own army.

But Egypt and the Arab coalition felt Israel was too small and feeble. Egyptian Generals even boasted that a war with Israel would be like a parade from Cairo to Tel Aviv, that Tel Aviv would be overtaken in two weeks.
They opposed the UN Resolution for Two-State Solution by invading Israel, a battle they lost.
Israel ceased more lands far more than what was given to her by the UN after the war. Can Israel be blamed for doing this? The answer is No, the the land is a war bounty.

Syria lost the control of Golan Heights, Jordan lost the West Bank, Egypt lost the Gaza Strip after the 6 days war (3rd Arab war with Israel) in 1967.
Israel obviously and overwhelmingly won the war and consolidated its grip on Palestine.
Can Israel be blamed for controlling a land they conquered through war? No, cause in war, everything is fair.

The Two-State solution the Palestinians and the Arab League opposed vehemently in 1947, is what they are now clamoring for, but unfortunately, Israel and her western allies especially the US is no longer keen on doing that.

One very important fact to note is that, no country is a good country in the International System of power play.
Palestine would do the same to Israel if she finds herself in that position because international politics is always about National Interest.

Russia has been annexing Ukrainian lands (Crimea, Sevastopol etc), Russia has been making attempts to annex Georgia, Turkey has been muscling Armenia etc. No country is a good country, it is always about self and National Interest.

PS:
The land Israel is occupying is not entirely Palestinian land. They have historical ties to that land right from the time of Egypt and Babylonia.
Israel only ceased Golan Heights, West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza Strip after the war with the Arab Coalition

The Arabs will do even far worse to Israel if they have the military edge over the Jews. Muslims don't believe in diplomacy or dialogue, they only believe in conquest for their mohammadian Islam and you will hear them shout "allahu akbar' after the victory. I heard some of the countries in the Arabs league today were not originally muslim country, they were conquered during Arabs empire: Turkey, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, etc.

Look at what is going on in Nigeria today, Fulani's who came to this country in early 18th century are telling indigenous people what to do in their own lands, opposing restructuring meant to deliver better governance to the people, despite contributing little on the way of GDP growth. They have taken control of the military and are using that as an edge. Muslims don't believe in dialogue or tolerance, they only believe in conquest.

Let's forget the historical angle for the sake of argument. Netanyahu knowing the right wing parties where in talks with the centrist to form a coalition that will oust him and possibly lead to his conviction in the criminal case against him. He then criminally instigates this conflict by storming Al-aqsa mosque on the holiest month of Ramadan (Laylatul qadr night. injuring over 300 worshippers while they pray) and at the same time stealing Palestinian homes for Israelis in east Jerusalem knowing full well that the Palestinians will respond. And respond they did, Netanyahu seizing on this to escalate the conflict with Palestinians, thereby stoking nationalist sentiment back home.
It worked because just on Thursday isreali media reported that one of the right wing lawmaker key to the negotiations of forming anti Netanyahu coalition has told party members that negotiations was "off the table". This will grant Netanyahu the respite he criminally orchestrated using human lives (both Israelis and Palestinians)

I don't see you talking about the action that led to that war. If it were your land someone came in and split, would you have sat back and smiled back like a good dog?

They didn't win majority of the land through that war. Since that war they have kept grabbing more lands, more lands and more lands.


PS
Forget the name tag, Palestinian are basically these people you have mentioned. Something about towns expanding and all that. I hope you are also seeking to go back to your ancestral land, the ones your ancestors occupied before moving to wherever you ancestral alnd and forcefully assert your historical right to that land as well.

You are right that the Arab states mad ethe situation worse however what happened should have never happened. You can't go around destabilising lives, lands and people and continue to suppor tyranny when it suits you..

With all you've said, you haven't mentioned that it is against international law for any country or region to take over a territory impoverished by war and that was what Israel did. I am a Christian, but reading the history surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict has made me not blindly support Israel's actions. And the reason Israel has this strength today is simply because of the military aid it receives from the US and Europe. The Palestinians do not even have an army.

I’m against Isreal, but this shows that you actually have knowledge of what is going instead of using religious sentiments like most Nigerians. Isreal should stop bombing Gaza and lying that they are firing Hamas. What I think that made situation worst is Palestine not having military, and Hamas are left to defend them. Isreal is now claiming the fight is against a supposed terrorist, and we all know that’s not fact.

I used to pity Palestinians until I realized it was their stupidity that allowed so called Israelis to settle in that land to create the state of Israel in the first place.

The people called Israelis have historically been landless normadic shepherds and never had a land in that location at any time in history. Around 1946, nobody agreed to give Israelis land to settle. They even speculated about relocating to Ethiopia, all in search of a mythical land given to Abraham by God.

Palestinians need to suffer since a dumb god called Allah made them believe the land belong to Israel. Since they were stupid enough to give out their land to foreigners based on koran mythology, they should be stupid enough to bear the consequences. Stupid people!!

salykely:


And you failed to tell your audience that under international law there are no territorial gains from war. We are no longer in medieval Europe.

"Under the UN Charter there can lawfully be no territorial gains from war, even by a state acting in self-defense. The response of other states to Israel's occupation shows a virtually unanimous opinion that even if Israel's action was defensive, its retention of the West Bank and Gaza Strip was not...The [UN] General Assembly characterized Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza as a denial of self determination and hence a 'serious and increasing threat to international peace and security.' "John Quigley, "Palestine and Israel: A Challenge to Justice."

Secondly you lied when u said the Arab countries started the 1948 war. Yes Egypt started the 1973 October war in retaliation for the 1948 war. Israeli military historians agree to the fact that the war was stated by Israel.


"The former Commander of the Air Force, General Ezer Weitzman, regarded as a hawk, stated that there was 'no threat of destruction' but that the attack on Egypt, Jordan and Syria was nevertheless justified so that Israel could 'exist according the scale, spirit, and quality she now embodies.'...Menahem Begin had the following remarks to make: 'In June 1967, we again had a choice. The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him.' "Noam Chomsky, "The Fateful Triangle."

"I do not think Nasser wanted war. The two divisions he sent to The Sinai would not have been sufficient to launch an offensive war. He knew it and we knew it." Yitzhak Rabin, Israel's Chief of Staff in 1967, in Le Monde, 2/28/68

"Moshe Dayan, the celebrated commander who, as Defense Minister in 1967, gave the order to conquer the Golan...[said] many of the firefights with the Syrians were deliberately provoked by Israel, and the kibbutz residents who pressed the Government to take the Golan Heights did so less for security than for the farmland...[Dayan stated] 'They didn't even try to hide their greed for the land...We would send a tractor to plow some area where it wasn't possible to do anything, in the demilitarized area, and knew in advance that the Syrians would start to shoot. If they didn't shoot, we would tell the tractor to advance further, until in the end the Syrians would get annoyed and shoot.

And then we would use artillery and later the air force also, and that's how it was...The Syrians, on the fourth day of the war, were not a threat to us.'" The New York Times, May 11, 1997
The Arab armies which where part of the british mandate of Palestine actually started the war, They fully attacked isreal after the declared independence. You can't blame the jews for consolidating power.
The argument on the isreal side is that the Palestinians refused to accept the UN mandate that created Isreal and should have created a Palestinian State. Hence you can't really use the UN mandate to only judge the issue and where it gets interesting is that had the Palestinians accepted the UN resolution and not begun a war, 50% of isreal would have been Palestinian Arabs, but no- they simply refused to cohabit with jewish peeps.
The Palestinians are laying claim to all of isreal and hence has refused to accept the right of the jewish country of isreal to exist (that is what lies at the heart of the issue,Hamas,islamic jihad and many muslim countries do not recognize the right of existence of isreal). The only thing I see wrong in what isreal is doing is that the keep on incorporating more and more Palestinian land into isreal.The at least should be content with territories the had after the last isreal-arab war.
Yes there is a UN charter banning the acquisition of land through conquest,but since then -Russia acquired Crimea from Ukraine through war, china is laying claims to and annexing territories from Taiwan to the south china sea to it's indian borders,India and pakistan same,England has the falkland crisis with Argentina and kept that territories through conquest,Turkey imposed it's will on Northern cyprus through conquest and might one day annex it and even here in Nigeria we see the fulanis mad dash for land so bro, the UN and at large the government's of this world are hypocritical self serving bigots.

The only way to discredit the fact that the region of isreal historically belongs to the Jews is to discredit one of the oldest know religious/historical document- The bible.
And that is why Muslims never acknowledge it despite the fact that they lifted info from it (christianity came before islam)

You would be surprised to know that even the Quran admits that God gave the Land of Canaan (which it called Palestine) to the Jews and has a similar story to the Moses, Joshua and Caleb accounts in the Bible.

Designated grin grin grin So because Israel is not designated they can slaughter Palestianian babies and children at will? Your foolishness is astronomical. You are a disgrace to humanity. Your religion is useless since it has blinded your eyes from seeing clearly. Go and kill yasef. grin grin grin
Clown, Israel's activities have been well known to the international community and they haven't been designated a terrorist group after all these years because they are not terrorists. The civilian casualties resulting from Israel's military operations are not deliberate, they are collateral damage resulting mostly from Hamas using Palestinians as human shields. Hamas on the other hand are recognized as terrorists because they are the only party to the conflict that are deliberately targeting civilians. Not that I expect a useless nincompoop like you to understand that. Your foolishness is beyond astronomical, the word for it is yet to be coined. Whatever religion you belong to has not only blinded you, it has turned you into a brainless zombie. Pathetic morön!!

The banner reads :
"The Germans destroyed our families please dont you destroy our hopes"

What an irony the situation has turned to today

They'll tell you it's biblical prophecy that all the killings must take place.

Many fools don't even know that the Israelis are mostly Jewish, not Christian.

And there are more Christians in Palestine than in Israel. They have have been brainwashed.

I am an atheist dummy, I don't think you have read any of my posts so don't tie me to your terrorist acts when you are ready to start of where y'all left off. Is it not how you abrahamists have been killing since their inception, Jews Muslims and Christians good that communism has created atheist nations so that they can show all of you pepper when una wan start. Rubbish.
