[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But I'll add this more directly to the case of Israel: [b]if you want to move into an area claimed as a holy land by multiple religions, you better be willing to share[/b].

Palestinians and Muslims certainly aren't without blame, either. They were there before the modern Jewish population, and I certainly don't think the Palestine Mandate or the UN Partition Plan were remotely fair to the existing population, but in the time since they certainly haven't demonstrated a willingness to share, either.[/quote]

Which religion was first in the area?

Which religion acquires area in the area and the surrounding area got land by conquest?

No one owes Muslims anything.[/quote]

So, because Romans killed a bunch of Jews 2,000 years ago, their descendants were justified in killing and forcibly removing Muslims about 80 generations later?

Heck, it was the Muslim Caliphates that first allowed Jews to return to Jerusalem.[/quote]

NP: Modern day people are acting in modern self-interest on all sides. In the history of humanity, no piece of land has ever permanently belonged to anyone, nor will it ever. Arguments were and will be made about who has a better claim or right and each will make that argument as passionately and publicly as they can (e.g., I was here first, a greater power gave it to me told me it was mine, I invested in and improved the land the most so its mine, I won the war so it's mine, you stole it from me through evil means and so it is still mine give it back, etc.), and who gets a disputed piece of land will always be solved by modern people with modern ideas or weapons. Let's pray that the weapons can be laid down all over the world and civilized means of solving disputes over land and resources everywhere can prevail in a way that allows everyone to thrive.[/quote]
