Actually, i was ridiculing your silly claim that because there was "a kingdom of Israel," that somehow authorizes the bigotry and apartheid policies of Zionists. It doesn't.

There are no such apartheid policies.

Your outrageous suggestion to the contrary proves that the Israeli people were correct to vote against any further attempts at peace talks.

The Kingdom of Israel is hardly a historical absurdity. It was a very real place.

The Quran mentions Israel, and it belonging to the Jews. Would you like to argue with Islamists?

Religious mythologies are poor justifications for the discrimination and oppression of a people.

Yeah, Islamists want to establish an Islamic state in all of Palestine too. You don't want to argue with them?

The Palestinians are merely being controlled in order to prevent them from murdering people.

And the reason the Palestinians are being controlled this way is not because of any religion, but rather because the Palestinians refuse to ever make peace.

Sure, but that doesn't negate the point I made.

It seems to me that claiming that something is a religious construct is contrary to it being an actual physical place.

I'm referring to the idea of the land of Israel what with the claim that it was given to "the Jews" by their god.

The Kingdom of Israel had defined borders. Places within those borders were under the power of the Israeli king. Places outside those borders were not under the power of the Israeli king.

Sure, and who knows where these boundaries were or what was the extent of the power of this "king of Israel" whom that Aramean king boasts of vanquishing in the late 9th century BC in the Tel Dan stele.

What's more, it's utterly ridiculous that the Zionists claim ownership of Palestine by way of him.

Lots of indigenous peoples have a mythology that explains their link to their land. That's never justified denying indigenous rights before.

That's a question for the archaeologists to have fun with. No one is proposing that Israel's borders be made an exact match for the Kingdom of Israel under David and Solomon.

More than likely Israel will end up with some territory that the original kingdom didn't have, and without some territory that the original kingdom did have.

The point is, as the indigenous population, Israel has every right to be in Palestine.

Israel claims ownership of their portion of Palestine by way of being the indigenous populace.

Like I said, the Israeli people were right to vote for an end to the peace talk farce.

The Palestinians can make their precious "state" out of Area A, and Area A alone.

The Jews were driven out of Palestine by the Romans in 135 CE. According to rabid and murderous Zionists (whom Oralloy apparently admires), that other people lived in Palestine for more than 1800 years means nothing--once Jews come back, any measure, including wholesale slaughter, is justified so that they can claim "their" land. You are one sick puppy, Bubba.

The only rabid and murderous people here are the Palestinians.

The Israelis are merely defending themselves.

That much is true. It means nothing.

The only people who are attempting wholesale slaughter are the Palestinians.

The Israelis are merely defending themselves.

The only sick people here are the Palestinians. It's a good thing they are on a path to perpetual confinement in Area A.

An historical absurdity ?

The exercise of picking a suitably ancient text and waving it around to prove that this has “always” or “never” been Palestine or Israel or Judea or Mars seems to be more of an attempt to obscure the fact that the speaker’s interpretative choices do not just carry political implications, but are already grounded in politics.

Is there any doubt the name Palestine originally comes from the Egyptian Plst or when the Phoenicians added vowels, Peleshet or Philistine ? At the time the Jews recorded the name Philistine . Both cultures have changed so much since then as to make any debate on who got there first, rather ridiculous .
