Wow! Excellent catch, P-M.

Wow! What a trite response.

How is the present condition since 1948 not an occupation of Palestine by the state of Israel? Was David Ben-Gurion the new Moses, to whom God spoke directly from the mountain? Was Menachem Begin the new Joshua? Was the King David Hotel bombing akin to ancient Israel's purge of the land at the direction of the Lord?

Gee, let me count the ways:

1) The Jews had been quietly buying back the land at exhorbitant prices since the 1800s. They rightfully own all that land.
2) Israel did not kick out the Palestinians. Those in the refugee camps either went there voluntarily to get out of the way of the supposed driving of the Jews into the sea in 1948, or were driven there by the government of Jordan after their failed coup attempt.
3) Palestinian Arab Muslims who did not turn on Israel have full citizen rights, including their own representative sample in the Knesset. This is better than the deal they got with any previous administration since
4) "Palestine" has never been a free and independant state since the Diaspora.
The return of Israel to the land is prophesyed all throughout Scripture, topcat. To deny it, you have to systematically ignore--I'm sorry, "allegorize"--away whole books of the Scriptures. Further, by calling the Israelis "occupiers" you are rejecting the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and siding with Allah.

Call me funny, but that's not a position I would wish to occupy.

Ahem. Whose land is it originally? The Jews. Who gave it to them? God. Did the arabs EVER have a State there? No.

Israel purged the land ON THE ORDERS OF GOD HIMSELF. The arabs are indicriminately killing women and children. They have the same philosophy as Hitler. If you think the Palestinians are morally correct here, then I have to put you in the same category.

You appear to be taking the side of Palestinian terrorists, and it really puzzles me.
