That part of the world between the Mediterranean Sea and Jordan River and north and south has been contested for thousands of years, settled time and again by one group after another. Both religions currently living there claim the land as sacred according to their scriptures. That the Palestinans and the rest of the Arab world claim the area as their sole, Allah-given right is imo political not historical. Israel isn't going anywhere, and has the right to protect its 6.5 million citizens. I'm not saying this isn't a cause for conflict, and it takes two to tango.

My reference to that was made becuase of the moral high road being taken by Israel on the issue.
I get confused and always ask...how the hell could Britain just state that the land was Israel's anyway?
