Homeland Shmomeland

From 1948 to 1967, Egypt controlled the Gaza Strip and Jordan controlled the West Bank, and not one single time did either of these two countries ever offer the Palestinian people a state of their own. Even more incriminating than that is the fact that Palestinians themselves never even once asked for one!!!...And even today, for Christ sakes, according to a 2007 U.N. report, approximately two-thirds of the population of Jordan is Palestinian and guess how many rights that those folks have courtesy of the Hashemites. When, pray tell, is the world going to finally realize that this has NEVER been about a homeland for the Palestinians and all about pure hatred/laying the groundwork for a second damned Holocaust? Soon? Hopefully.

This will be a real quiet item, as long as those who hide their antisemitism under code-words such as "anti-Zionism" are kept out.

The Palestinians could have had a homeland in 1922, 1937 (the Peel Commission), 1948, 2000, and 2008 and every time they said, no. I'm starting to get a little weary of them frankly.

In ancient times, Gaza must have been considered rather important:
Bronze Age- Canaanites, then Egyptians; Iron Age, Philistines,
the Hebrews of David & Samson; the Assyrians (Tiglath-piliser and Sargon II; in classical times,
the Greeks (Alexander) the Romans
(Pompey), the Byzantines and the Crusaders. Now days, it is pretty
much an overpopulated wasteland where fresh water is scarce. Even
camels avoid it.

You young fellows forget that there is blame to spread around:
"Soon after the end of World War II, there were three basic para-military Zionist organizations in Palestine, working against the Arab people, with the specific purpose of driving it out of Palestine. These were the Haganah, the Irgun Zvai Leumi and the Stern Gang." As noble as the creation of an Israeli state was,
there was some tarnish.

Most of the Arabs who left Palestine during the '47-'48 war did so voluntarily (yes there was some expulsion). The thought behind this was a belief that the war would be over in a few days (with all of the Jews slaughtered of course) and then they could go back to being a part of a greater Syria.
