Reader comment on item: Pretending There's a Country Called "Palestine"
in response to reader comment: Palestine, the country

Submitted by Lynn (United States), May 25, 2009 at 09:08

Israel was a nation long before there was an United Nations or a Soviet Union and there will be the Nation of Israel long after the United Nations fades away and the Soviet Union no longer...well never mind.

Palestine was an invention by the Romans in an attempt to erase the name and memory of Israel off the face of the Earth just as the Arab/Muslim/so-called Palestinians wish to do now. They won't succeed, get over it, and stop going back in history only as far as you wish because unfortunately the books were written long before your history starts.

Israels were driven from the land, then hunted down by those who despise them. They are not hiding behind the rocks and trees like Allah and Mohammad said they would. They are in their Homeland saying 'Here am I". Too bad for you that you don't know history and can't predict the future.
