Gaza toll rises to 154 with no end in sight

The United Nations came to a majority "consensus" after WWII the Israelis were the rightful owners of the land, geez you'd think that the Palestinians are just like Global Warming deniers.



Can you show proof any of the Gaza Palestinians are direct descendants of the Canaanites?

 

Who gives a crap what happened 2000 years ago? Nothing of ancient history is remotely relevant to what is happening now. Oh, and by the way, where were all those Jews for 2000 years who are now claiming some absurd divine imperative for their 'promised land'?

 

well, since you asked, the Jews were in the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.

and of course in Palestine.
right up until 1948.

 

And where was Israel for those 2000 years? And Palestine? That's a good one; according to several of our illustrious forum members there's no such place!

 

Israel was re-named "Palaestina" by the Romans after AD 135, to remove any reference to the Jews.

although we still have The Judean Hills in the West Bank.

 

Right, so there was no country called Israel for 2000 years. Glad we're clear on that.

 

We've helped kill over a 100,000 Syrians, and not a peep from the US media....

Why all the tears over a measly 154?

 

and there was no country called Palestine for 2,000 years.

 

They might be "measly" to you but everyone of those lives was precious and important to someone. Perhaps I should ask you why the hysteria over the "measly" deaths on 9-11...oh but I forgot, American and Israeli lives are the only ones that matter. Excuse me.

 

and the 100,000 dead syrians, and an equal number of libyan lives arent precious and important to someone?

 

how come there are no protests in Europe and the USA when Muslim extremists kill hundreds of thousands of Arabs?

I see Judea on the maps all the time.

you see Judea on the maps.

hell, they are even called the Judean Hills on the maps.

 

Strange, I see it on maps all the time. I don't see the name "Israel" on any map prior to 1948.

 

So what? There are 'Roman roads' in Britain, and Hadrian's Wall bordering Scotland. I don't see many Romans or Roman emperors around Britain, and nor have there been for around 2000 years. Odd coincidence, don't you agree? https://www.google.co.uk/search?saf...a=X&ei=gYnFU-KNIKKh0QWj1YDADw&ved=0CGYQ1QIoBg

 

just cause a map says "Palestine" doesn't mean its a country.

lots of maps say Appalachia, New England, and Asia Minor but that doesn't make it a country

 

Right, so there was no Israel for 2000 years because it was called Palestine, is that what you're saying?

 

there was no country called Palestine, ever.

 

It was called Canaan. I'm still waiting for proof of any Palestinians being descendants of Canaanites.

 

Odd that, because my mother was a refugee there in 1946. If she was still alive I'd suggest she was imagining things.

 

Screw the islamist murderers, who have been firing rockets into Israel nonstop for YEARS.

 

there are refugees from Asia Minor, does that make it a country?

was Palestine a member of the UN in 1946?

who was the President of Palestine in 1946? Prime Minister?

 

She was. There was and still is NOT a country called Palestine.

 

who was the President or Prime Minister of Palestine, before 1949?

 

No, not really. Just recognize that we aren't buying into your pro-hamas stance, go do some more history reading and get a real clue as who are the aggressors.

 

The "stop firing rockets into Israel" part.

Oh dear God, spare us the incessant boohooing. As mentioned previously, it is very simple...stop --- firing --- rockets --- into --- Israel and no Israelis will bomb you to smithereens.

If someone is sitting outside and taking pot shots at your house, are you suggesting to do nothing until such time someone actually gets hit?

Ludicrous, and downright stupid. Insane, actually.

 

Kick out Hamas and stop firing rockets and people will not die.
