[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why was Palestine selected?[/quote]

Because Israel is and always has been the Jewish homeland.  In his history, other than being under the Ottoman and Roman empires, Israel was governed by Jews. Jews have a far longer history in Israel than any other nation.  [/quote]

Yes, perhaps the Semitic and Palestinian Jews. Not the German, Poland, russian, etc Jews.  The ones that currently dominate and control Israel. [/quote]

I believe that Jews have a legitimate interest in Israel, but the argument that Jews have a longer history in Israel is a losing one.  Everyone knows that the Jews displaced other Arabs, the Torah says so.  And Jews have maintained a very small presence in Israel over most of the last two millennia.  In 1900 Jews in Palestine comprised only 8% of Palestine, and a mere 43,000 out of 11.2 million Jews worldwide, a third of a percent.  During this time Palestinians have always been present, and anyone wishing to challenge that would have to explain how Palestinians and Jews managed to be so genetically similar if they had not lived together prior to the diaspora.[/quote]
