Ownership of land is decided by the most powerful people. No one really deserves the land, no matter when they lived there or what the circumstance. It's land. If the people in power believe that it should be Israel, then tough luck.

 

So basically...if the US had "lost" the Cold War, and the USSR decided "What the hell, lets just take the US for ourselves" you would totally understand if you lost your house and your livelihood?

 

Just wanted to ask...see how much conviction you have behind that stance, 'tis all.

I wouldn't support it, but it's not like I could do anything about it. That's the point of someone being in power. Civilizations have been fighting over this relatively small plot of land for a long time now, and it's been under control by many different nations. Is one more deserving than the other? No, it's land. Just because it has holy connotations to a bajillion different groups doesn't mean that one deserves it more than another. I know I'm pestering the wrong person, but still, the whole debate is silly.
