Subject: RE: BS: Islamic radicalism . . .
Well actually Christmas I would not rely on the Bible as a historical record if accuracy is what you are after, and even if it was I cannot remember there being any reference to Arabs in it Egyptians, Philistines, Assyrians, Babylonians, Hittites, Samaritans, Greeks, Romans, etc, etc - But no Arabs.

One other point to draw to your attention Christmas there never were 9 million Palestinians in 1948, the number who fled on the orders and advice of the Arab League numbered some 711,000. Instead of welcoming those refugees the very Arab nations who had encouraged the Arabs of Palestine to reject what was on offer by the UN and to fight instead imprisoned the "Palestinian Refugees in camps (Many of those on captured Palestinian territory) and deliberately kept them in squalor and abject poverty for political reasons. Roughly the same number of Jews were displaced but the Jews allowed those refugees to assimilate into the general population and become part of the fabric of the nation.

There are no established political or territorial boundaries within the Mandated Territory of Palestine as defined by the League of Nations in 1923, if you think that there are then please get the Hamas version of it posted on this thread.
