How would you feel if somebody come to your house and claim that your house belongs to them? I m sure that you must be really angry and would fight to get it back. Wait! Okay! I am kidding. Just relax. Nobody is going to take your house from you. But there is somebody out there having their ‘country' taken by the Jews.
In just a short period of one year from 1946 to 1947, 22% of Palestinian landmass were taken and given to the Jewish so that they can form their own country called Israel. In the war of 1948 between Israel and Palestine, the U.S-backed Israelis captured another 26% of Palestine. 700,000 Palestinians were forced to move out of the territories occupied by Israel. After World War II the U.S decided that it needed an alliance in the Middle East but it had none at the time, so ‘Uncle Sam' decided to create his own alliance, using the Jewish population in Palestine as a tool and an excuse for Imperialism. I sympathize the Palestine for their loss, but I feel worse for the Jewish for being an imperialistic zombie.
So do the Jewish have the right to claim part of Palestine is theirs? Yes, they are absolutely correct according to the Bible, "The Lord appeared to Abram and said, 'To your descendants I will give this land.'" (Genesis 12:7a). So the Jewish gets their rights from the Bible. I do not know what you think about this ‘God-given-land' thingy, but I think this is total load of crap. I believe that the creation of Israel is totally a matter of politics. When the Western-backed United Nations General Assembly voted to create Israel in 1947, all that they wanted was the control over the Middle East. Even after the Arab Higher Committee rejected the vote; the U.N would still continue to establish Israel in 1948.
Since 1946, Palestinians have restlessly fought the Israelis. I think that is the only thing that they can do as long as Israel is still backed by the U.S. I really admire the Palestinians
