What a dupe.....

Man, go read some history from a non-biased non-western source. Yeah, sure accuse the Muslims of bias, but ignore your own western biases. Not our problem, as Arabs, that some British foreign minister promised Jewish people our lands, and not our problem Europeans imposed European Jews on us, and surely it is our absolute right to defend our lands.

Yes, we were at a weak spot. But that's the nature of civilization. Having said that, doesn't give the West the right to impose a colonialist project on us.

Bible, Torah, or Quran... None of these has anything to do with rights to the land. The right to the land belongs to those who live in it. And in 1917, when Balfour gave is wicked declaration, only 3% of the population were jews; Arab jews mostly at that.

To be sure, the relegiosity of the claim to the land seem to be unique to the Old Testament and maybe the New Testament; I haven't read them fully. The Quran doesn't say anything about Palestine belonging to anyone in particular. It says however that the owners of the land have the right to defend; in coherence to UN rules and much-touted Rules Based Order.

Now, answer me this, why on earth do Israelis have "the right to defend themselves" as an occupier, a century long aggressor, but the occupied people do not share the same right even though, in reality, they are the ones actually defending themselves?

Here is a good start: read the Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe, an Israeli who taught at the Hebrew University (if I'm not mistaken).
