Subject: Re: The Ultimate Irony
I agree that the Palestinians have a legitimate claim on Palestine. As you say, they were (at some point) Jews. The Jews that weren't converted also have a claim on the land. They're basically the same people. It's religion that is mostly getting in the way. Small groups of Muslims want to drive all the Jews into the sea. Meanwhile, Jews create illegal "settlements" on land that is not recognized as theirs, often evicting Palestinians in the process.

Both sides are wrong, and it's mostly about religion and intolerance.
