A significant problem is that the backers of the Moslim Palestinian side have a fundamental flaw in many of their arguments:


They claim the Israelis have no claim on the land because the Jews were driven off ( debatable, but that is the claim.) by later groups. But the Israelis should not be allowed to drive off the Palestinians, because Palestinians had possession of the land ( again, debatable ( See history of Ottoman Empire)) in the past.

So the Israelis have to give the land to the Palestinians because the Palestinians were there before ( sort of like the Jews were, but never mind),but after the Jews had been.

The previous owner has the right to the land, except if the owner was Jewish.


BTW, the Palestinians I know and grew up around were members of one of the 6 founding families of Ramallah- ALL ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN. Seems that the Palestinians in place now are NOT the same ones who were there before 1948 - SO WHO are the Israelis supposed to give the land to?
