If you have to go back 60 years to find justification for becoming a Homicide-Bomber, why not go back 160 years and make the same lame case for the American Indians? How about some whacked-out Norwegian Vikings strapping exploding Rosetta Stones to their chests to kill those damn Europeans who had the audacity to set up shop on the American Continent 500 years after Erik The Red first stuck his sword in a Minnesota Rock?

Oh wait, what about going all the way back to the year 70 b.c. when Jews last had a little temple built around the Dome of The Rock in Jerusalem? I guess that would trump your miserable little Palestinian claim by about 2000 years! Face the facts Sidi, in the grand scope of History, your team is owed nothing! Zero, zilch, nada. Now IF you guys start acting like civilized people, i.e. no suicide-bombing, kidnapping or "Death to Israel" rallies and text books, maybe the nice Israelis will give you some more land on the West Bank that you can destroy just like your friends in Gaza did. Now that's the truth - and accepting it will set YOU free.
