    The 20th century

    Palestine in British map 1924 the map now in the National Library of ScotlandIn European usage up to World War I, "Palestine" was used informally for a region that extended in the north-south direction typically from Raphia (south-east of Gaza) to the Litani River (now in Lebanon). The western boundary was the sea, and the eastern boundary was the poorly-defined place where the Syrian desert began. In various European sources, the eastern boundary was placed anywhere from the Jordan River to slightly east of Amman. The Negev Desert was not included.[104]

    Under the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, it was envisioned that most of Palestine, when freed from Ottoman control, would become an international zone not under direct French or British colonial control. Shortly thereafter, British foreign minister Arthur Balfour issued the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which laid plans for a Jewish homeland to be established in Palestine eventually.

    If the UN told you your state would now be half Muslim land would you fight the Muslims who moved in to claim that land?

    you may not have a lot of threads, but let me tell you, you are an excellent poster, whom i admire

    How can you negotiate with people that walk into a marketplace and then proceed to blow themselves up taking lots of innocent civilians with them?

    How can you negotiate with people that strap bombs to children, themselves and others?

    How can you negotiate with people celebrate and cheer when innocent people are killed?

    Please someone explain to me just how you negotiate with this.

    IMO you can't, the same way you can negotiate with people that protest soldiers funerals, blow abortion clinics up, destroy property in the name of the environment.

    Some people cannot be reasoned with.

    if the muslims, said.. were moving in 6 million muslims into israel.

    #1 they cant israel is a sovereign nation.

    #2 In 1947, britain handed it over to the u.n., so only at the time, could the u.n. do what you wanted to do, and actually did. It actually gave more land to the pales

    #3 the muslims have no real claim on it, the land belonged to the jews and was stolen by the romans. Just because a few nomadic arab traders passed through it, doesnt mean they have any special rights to it.

    #4 even if you give every inch of israel back to pales, they will kill every christian left there, and then go after europe, with the most sincerest respect, this is about jews being there, in 1929, the riots were about israel, they were about, how dare jews be here at all.

    I almost forgot, if israel caved into to right of return requests, israel would cease to exist, because 6 million arabs, would quickly outgrow the jews in population, hence another muslim country.
