Raju, Muslims conquered also the land of Israel

The Muslims conquered the entire Middle East. Medina itself used to be Jewish before Muhammed's army conquered it. In North Africa the great leader of the Berbers defending themselves against the Arab-Muslim invaders was Al Kahina, a Jewish woman. The Jews predate the Muslims everywhere in the Middle East. Judea used to be Jewish before the Roman occupiers expelled and killed a big part of the rebelling Jews and renamed it Palaestina. Then it was Christian and Jewish until the Muslim conquest. We just want at least part of our country back. They were offered by Israeli PM Barak and later by PM Olmert 95-100% of the West Bank and Gaza, including land swaps, and a settlement in Jerusalem and rejected it. They want to destroy Israel. That's what they always wanted. The only "compromise" they're willing to make at best is that instead of expelling or killing all the Jews in Israel, the country will become another Arab-Muslim state and the Jews will be allowed to stay under an Arab-Muslim rule.
