You said it yourself that the Jews had lost the war over the land, which means they live there again not just because of some Biblical prophecy, but because they regained the land they had lived on during the ancient times. Also, as I said before, there was never an independent Arab state in Palestine, but there was an independent Jewish state in that area during the ancient times. Also, what do you mean by saying that Palestinians were not terrorists "prior to the settlement"? Are you saying that now they have a moral right to be terrorists? Terrorists kill innocent people, so obviously, no one has a "moral right" to be a terrorist. I am not sure I understood your argument about the homeless, so I can't comment on it...
I am not against the creation of a Palestinian state though.

I have wondered about this.
If you really were concerned about being killed off from another Holocaust, then why in the world would you concentrate most of your population in a little tiny piece of land where your neighbors hate you and want to kill you?
Wouldn't it make more sense to spread your people all over the world, so if some get killed off in one area, there are still others living in other parts of the world, so your genes will survive into the next generation?
The whole "Holocaust" subject is a bit of touchy subject with some of my Austrian relatives.

I said that I would not comment further on this subject, but you know me.
Who are/were the Israelites?
Before 1250 B.C. (Before Computers) the Israelites were a nomadic tribe in the area around Jordan.
1250 BC: Israelites began to conquer and settle the land of Canaan on the eastern Mediterranean coast.
We can assume from this that the land originally belonged to the Canaanites (Possibly the modern day Palestinians)and definitely not the Israelites.

The best way to keep a secret:- Tell everyone not to tell anyone.
The Canaanites are not the modern day Palestinians. The Canaanites became extinct a long time ago.
The only thing wrong with my statement was the spelling of definitely.![]()

But you can't be right if you think there is a possibility the Canaanites are the modern-day Palestinians.
Where did they go to? No tribe suddenly becomes extinct without leaving traces. Maybe they are like the Israelites and were dispersed all over the world.
