I do feel a sense of remorse for the Palestinians because they were forced from their land thousands of years ago. But then I start to think, who did the Palestinians get their land from? And so on.
If we could give back land to all peoples who were wrongly forced from their homeland, then we can only go back as far as written records.
Lets see ... Europeans took control of America from the Native Indians (sort of), but in reality the Indian tribes were fighting each other and the French actually brought peace to the area before the British took control. Thousands of years before Syrians were forced to leave Syria by ISIS, they brutally slaughtered Assyrians out of the land.
So I am torn as to who to feel sorry for. Because in some instances the current natives being hurt were the ones who were doing the hurting.
... anyways, in conclusion, @oneness I think it is good to hear both sides of this situation ... keep it up.
Thanks Kevin.
WE were all given Mother Earth.
i am of the knowing NOBODY owns the land of Mother Earth. Not one country is real. They are all illusions as is every government ever created.
The his-story we do have is that the British just felt it was their property to give and Palestinians had no say in the matter. http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-balfour-declaration
Then we have this planned way before the events even took place.
TODAY we have israel working to wipe the Palestinians off the face of the Earth and then they want Lebanon,Syria,Iraq, Iran and has much land they can steal using Americans as their WAR MACHINE.
By the way I am part Cherokee, and the relatives say the his-story we are given about Native Americans is far from the truth.
With all respect Kevin,
All the history you are repeating is hearsay. WE have not been told the truth about the past. HIS-STORY is what THEY want us to believe.
WE just don't know. The Vatican has over 50 miles of books, manuscripts and who knows what with OUR past hidden from Mankind.
peace
