To Palestina
Reader comment on item: Pretending There's a Country Called "Palestine"
in response to reader comment: Are you kidding me?

Submitted by John (United States), Mar 29, 2007 at 12:50

Palestine NEVER EXISTED AS AN IDEPENDENT COUNTRY. The only sovereign nation to have ever existed there prior to 1948 was Israel and Judea. And Israel did fight for itself after it regained it's RIGHTFUL TERRITORY in the war for independence when all the Arab nations invaded it.

1) Prior to 1900 there was not even a people who called themseves Palestinians.

2) the territories Israel is ocuping now historically belong to Israel. and Israel would not be in them now had Jordan and Egypt not attacked Israel in the first place.
