quote: ORIGINAL: ArticMaestro The idea that Jews and Palestinains have been fighting each other over the region for thousands of years is really ridiculous, it has no basis in History at all. from around 1000BC or so untill 70 AD the Area was unquestionably Jewish, Pre 1000 BC there were others there, but they were not modern Arabs or "Palestinians". From 70 AD to 1948 there was no Isreal, and they were not fighting Palestinains over land. There may not have been an "Israel" there, but there were still substantial Jewish communities there, especially the ones that worked on defining the Talmud. That went on for at least 1000 years. thornhappy

quote: ORIGINAL: MzMia I remember something my mother told me once, she said "They {Israel and the Palestinians} have been fighting over that little piece of land for years and years. They will probably fight forever. Here is a link for Anerin!!!! [:D] LookIsrael - Just How Big Is Israel? The link is to back up what I am saying about how small the country is! Israel could FIT into the state of FLORIDA---EIGHT TIMES! It is tiny!!!!!!!!!!!! 263 miles long – North to South Width: between 9 and 71 miles wide (East to West) Many people just have NO idea what a tiny little country it is. Is the situation in the Middle East a forever conflict. Many people believe we could be in Iraq forever {another thread I know}. I am not asking which side you are on, or why. I am asking do you think Israel and the Palestinians will EVER really stop fighting? I don't mean for a few months or a year or so. Do you really think they will EVER stop fighting? How much should the USA get involved? I do not think they will ever stop fighting until their leaders realize that they have something to lose personally. I doubt that the leaders on either side care if thousands of nameless citizens die. However, when it is made clear that the powers are going to let it play out to a winner and loser, together with all the killing the loser suffers, maybe then leaders will think that he or she does not want his/her spouse or children executed as losers. They might want to talk just one more time.

"They have little say in the situation, I wonder if they have the option to move the hell out of the area? " Generally no Mz Mia. The other Arab states have refused to take them since 48. Even when they lived under Arab controll they were tightly controlled and not allowed to leave their camps. Certainly not allowed to integrate into other Arab societies. Some of the families were allowed to leave for Europe or America, if they were in Arafat's favor.

Thorn, I never said there were no Jews in the area, just that they were not fighting the Arabs over the land. The Jews lived in an Apartied system, as second class citizens, for that time. The system was called Dhimi. If you have any evidence of such fighting, please educate me.

I agree that the fact that they have been fighting for "1000 years" is news to me, and not an accurate statement. I also feel, that there is no real end in sight.

A Very smart woman said " There will be peace in the middle east, When the arabs love their children MORE then they hate the Jews. ( or as its now being spelled Juice)"
