the conquest of Palestine

You state, as a fact, that Jews conquered the Palestinian land.
What was the name of the Palestinian King who ruled Palestine circa 1865, or circa 1000 BC
What coin was used in the Palestinian stock exchange circa 1930?
What was the name of the Palestinian Speaker of the House of commons in 1925?
What was the proportion of Arabs to Jews in Jerusalem 1865?
Name the Palestinian Language.
Name 10 prominent Palestinian Nobel Laureates
name 10 Palestinian publishing houses which published in the Palestinian language. OK, name one.
Name one palestinian city which numbered more than 10000 inhabitants in 1850.
etc etc ad infinitum

It is one big lie. There was never a Palestinian king, not congress, not language, nor publisher, nor coin, nor exchange, nor population. Palestine was a poor backward province of the Ottoman Empire, Turkish, mind you, where the most common word was Bakshish, which is not in Palestinian, since there never was a Palestinian language. All there was of Arab presence was few and far between wandering Beduins, some godforsaken half-Jewish towns (jerusalem was two thirds jewish) Where the Arabs, along with the Turks oppressed the Indigent Jews as much as they could.

Only when Jewish return to Zion was initiated, as the fulfillment of the wishes of the Hebrew speaking, Jewish culture, Jewish congress, Jewish president-elect, jewish bank, jewish land-management authority, Jewish people, did the Arabs wake up and say, hey ho, we want a piece of that too. Or actually all of it. That is the truth, as much as the war of Muhamad upon the Kuraish jewish tribe.

The King of Jerusalem circa 1000 BC was King David, A Jew, from Beth-lehem, who established his kingdom in Hebron, then unufurled the Kingdom around jerusalem. If it were not for King David, Muhamad would likely never have heard of jerusalem, a hick town in the insignificant hills of an insignificant land.

As for hate, jews dont hate. We just figure that twenty one countries is enough for one Arab nation, entity, language, culture, and we require only one territory, and small one at that.

Is that too much to ask for?
Apparently it is, so we have to fight to keep it.
