As I've said before,
GET A BLOG.

India is not a religion....its a country.
Jews can live in a country called Palestine.....just like they live in a country called America...and Australia....and England.

------ | Well, what about Pakistan? It formed because the Muslim minority of India was worried about losing autonomy after a British pullout.
Jews have always lived in Israel, and were once the majority there.
England is primarily populated by English people, so I fail to see the parallel. As for America and Australia, they are hardly parallels. If they were, there wouldn't be any Palestinians left.
Arabs can live in a country called ISRAEL.

Now I fail to see the justification behind this in Palestine because "Jews were once a majority there". The point is, is that they weren't, and havn't been for 2000 years. So why can't Jews live in Palestine, rather than Arabs live in Israel? Why go through the trouble of kicking them out of their homes and instigating a bloody vendetta which will surely go on until either side is destroyed?

Although it pulled out of Gaza, the West Bank was still under a harsh Israeli military occupation. And now of coarse the Israelis are moving back into Gaza. In occupied territories we see Israeli government-sponsered settlers; which directly and literally constitutes imperialism and colonialism. Perhaps Palestine would be given a chance if it weren't being occupied and under harsh conditions, and perhaps if it weren't for Israeli war crimes. But a lot of people like to forget the fact that Israel is occupying Palestine, and virtually all of the quote "terrorist" Palestinians are fighting for their independence, freedom, and homeland (although there are radical islamic sects).

Please tell me you're smart enough to know that! 
And by the way, Palestinians can live in a country called Israel. In fact, thousands do - and love it. | |

And that was less than 1500 years ago.
Do your history research. | |

It is because Muslims want nothing less than the total annihilation of Israel. | |

Level up: 52%, 19 Points needed | | You're right, Judaism is a religion and a culture, not a nation. However, Jews have lived in Palestine for thousands of years, and faced bloody pogroms instigated by the Palestinians which the British reported on with a tinge of disgust. The Palestinians haven't been pogromed last time I checked.
That is why Jews cannot live in Palestine.
The Jews never left, they just became a tiny minority for a while.
