Mossad is the intelligence service in Israel; its equivalent of our MI5/6.
The so-called 'Israeli Settlers'; a bunch of extreme nutters.
What do you mean, Cutie?
Are you referring to all the jews who migrated there after 1948?
In what way are they extreme? I thought they just wanted a state/country of their own?
It was the British or the UN who split up Palestine, but the Arabs thought the jews or Israelis or whatever you call them got more than their fair share of land compared to their population and immediately started a war in 1948 or 49!
As you know, there has been trouble in that region ever since.
I have no idea who is right or who is wrong!
Religion no doubt plays a part! As you know, that is where Christianity was born, although it never took hold in that region!
Not sure what the religion of Israel? At the time of Jesus, it was Judaism I believe? May be something along that lines today!
The Palestine area is an ancient land, having been occupied for 500,000 years. I believe the original dwellers were decendents of the Canaanites, who may have been Arabic.
The Jews have occupied the region for about 4000 years.
I think Judaism would have been the main religion of the whole of Palestine up until it was taken over by the Ottoman empire which was Muslim of course, that was about 1300AD.
Not sure if any of Palestine was already Muslim or not? Obviously Islam had been in Saudi Arabia next door to Palestine and Jordan since the sixth century.
The Ottoman empire was defeated in the first world was of course, helped by our own T.E. Lawerence!
Between the wars Palestine was run by the British I believe, and as said, once it was split up in 1948 the trouble started between the Arabs and the Jews.
So!!! Who has the most right to Palestine? Well I believe it is the ancestral land of both the Arabs and the Jews!
Why do they hate each other? I do not know! Not sure if its to do with religion or not, obviously Palestine is Muslim! Israel is Judaism or such like!
Oh well, there you go Cutes! I've probably got half my facts wrong, but no doubt you will put me right!
Just had a lookie! Palestine first became a muslim region in the seventh century during the early conquests!
