Not true. There is the concept in law of 'squatters rights' .

@izzythepush,
It's interesting to note that hundreds of Israelis wrote to the British Parliament in favor of the vote, they're reason is (I think this a British expression) spot on.

Quote:
The letter reads: “We, Israelis who worry and care for the well-being of the state of Israel, believe that the long-term existence and security of Israel depends on the long-term existence and security of a Palestinian state. For this reason we, the undersigned, urge members of the UK Parliament to vote in favor of the motion to be debated on Monday 13th October 2014, calling on the British Government to recognize the State of Palestine alongside the State of Israel “.

I wish the US would do something similar, we will never do it though, unless the politics drastically change someday.

@revelette2,
At the moment it's symbolic, not binding, but the fact that only Labour MPs were whipped indicates a Labour Government would recognise Palestine.

The US actions in support of Israel is a crime against humanity when they know about the illegal settlements that keeps expanding.

I know, but, it sends a good message and it puts the Palestinians on a better ground so to speak as to how they are portrayed. (can't really articulate what I mean)

@revelette2,
It means, at least in the UK, that they recognize Palestine and the Palestinians as equal humans. The US government continues to miss that basic premise.

There is a substantial difference between abandoned property and stolen property.

Israel's security may well be strengthened by a peaceful Palestinian state brought about through negotiations.

But the UK is trying to bring about a hostile Palestinian state by means of brute force.

This gives Israel the right to declare the Security Fence as their border and annex everything west of it. If a hostile state is to be created next to them, they have the right to ensure that a secure and defined border exists between it and them.

Israel will also have the right to take any military action against the new state that is necessary for Israel's security. This will almost certainly end up with full military reoccupation of all Palestinian areas.

The US will never do anything so horrible. We believe in supporting the good guys.

I don't think that destroying the Oslo process once and for all, making it impossible for the Palestinians to ever have a state, really sends a good message.

You base your assertions on one line of speculation from a single article referring to a published study, and then go on to conflate this speculation with your own conjectures about "Iron Age culture" and then call it "history."

That is what's goofy.

It is unlikely that many people share your opinion that it is goofy for me to point out historical facts.

I've not seen any credible arguments that the science in question is wrong.

So science is speculation now is it?

The consensus of the world's archaeologists is hardly "my own conjecture".

What is goofy is the way you will go to any length to deny science and history.

Actually the reason the Jews are taking over Palestine is because the US provided tanks and weapons to the Jews who were the minority there allowing them forcibly pushed out the Palestinians. They have been doing that ever since and you can see year by year the Palestinian occupied lands slowly shrinking since that day until today.

It is cultural and political genocide. The Jews in Palestine are morally in the wrong but they get the go-ahead because they were persecuted in WW2 and that allows them to do what ever they want at any time. If you object to it they will just call you antisemitic to shut you up.

Religion is the poison of modern human culture. It needs to be cured and abandoned and left to fade like all other myths. It does more harm than good. There might have been a time when it was useful and beneficial but it's not any more, we have transcended it and it is now obsolete.

Religion is the equivalent of trying to use smoke signals for texting your friends.

Israel are the legitimate owners here. The only land thieves are the Palestinians.

The primary reason why Israel will control much of the land is because the Palestinians refuse to trade land for peace.

Wrong. Since 1967, Israel has repeatedly offered land in exchange for peace.

Israel handed over the Sinai in the 1970s, in exchange for peace for Egypt.

Israel handed over large sections of the West Bank to Palestinian control in the 1990s, back when everyone was foolish enough to believe that the Palestinians were willing to make peace.

Israel unilaterally withdrew from the Gaza Strip in the 2000s, in the futile hope that the Palestinians might become peaceful if left to their own devices.

Israel has repeatedly and endlessly offered, over the past 15 years or so, to return to 1967 borders in exchange for peace.

Your anti-Semitism is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.

No they aren't.

Israel gets the go ahead because they have done absolutely nothing wrong. They are merely defending themselves from brutal thugs who refuse to ever make peace.

Denouncing anti-Semitism is not intended to shut anyone up.

When a claim is denounced as anti-Semitism, that claim is labeled as being beyond the bounds of human decency, and therefore subject to automatic rejection without being addressed.

However, this does not prevent people from making such a claim. Freedom of Speech trumps all.

Again. Oralboy is not standing up against anti-Semitism. He is spreading lies about and vilifying the Palestinians legitimate right to self govern. He has been given the opportunity to stand up against anti-Semitism, but has not acted. Once can only assume he's quite happy with Holocaust denial, and his motives are based on his hatred, hatred of all Moslems, Italians, Russians, British etc. etc.

Such a loathsome piece of putrescence is incapable of feeling, let alone expressing, positive emotions.

They didn't apply that rather strange concept to the art and properties looted by the Nazis, did they?

Indeed.
