Thread Name: BS: Palestine
Subject: RE: BS: Palestine
We are in year 5772 of the Jewish Calendar.

That should tell people something about the length of time that Jews have been in the Holy Land.

Arabs started an organized effort to send their people, by then followers of Islam, into the traditional Jewish homeland about 1000 years ago.

Jordan, Lebanon and part of Syria are Arab states built partly or entirely from land that was traditionally owned by Jews. The Romans called it Palestine as an affront to the Jews who consider it Isarel, The Promised Land, Canaan or the Holy Land.

Gaza was traditionally part of Israel as were Judea and Jerusalem. Gaza is now about 99% Muslim and almost entirely of Arab extraction. It was conquest largely by out reproducing the original residents. Albanians did the same thing in their Islamic conquest of Albania, which is being cleansed of all its minority groups including the very productive Macedonians.
