"Yeah it is. but many people would say that the strife in the middle east is a result of what the Jews "believe" to be THEIR homeland."

Too easy to [See through] dismiss.

If you can find us documentation older than the Biblical Text [that actually confirms why the Jews "know" that Israel is indeed THEIR homeland] then feel free to provide it.

Yeah...I've often used that argument. I don't think Palistine is ever mentioned in the bible? But of course Israel is quite often.

But then again, it was called "Palestine" for quite a while until the UN (And Britian) decided to create "Israel" again.

It's a mess and always will be...No doubt about that. But like I said, if they had fought-it-out a couple of hundred years ago (Or more) and someone had established boundaries, It may not be such a mess. But then again, just the presence of the three major religions (Not to mention all the others who call Jerusalem home) pretty much assures conflict...Forever.
