Israel has only existed since the end of the Second World War. Palestine has decreased in size as Israel has increased its boundaries and forced the Palestinians into refugee camps. The State of Palestine will no longer exist as Israel expands its boundaries and forces the Palestinians out of Israel.

EXACTLY, this summarises it ALL

Well, except for the fact that the Arab State of Palestine has never existed.   So if that's your arguement... (and it's a poor one.)

Second world war beats never.

what?

 

when england got a mandate over areas in the middle east it gave palestine borders.

 

so yes it did exist, but it was under a mandate.

I fail to see why you think that invaldates my statement.

The Arab state of Palestine never existed.

The Mandate of Palestine set up the British territory of Palestine.

To suggest an arab state that never existed predates a country that currently exists, because of a territory of another country is about as silly an arguement as can get.

Though if you really want to argue that....

the Balfour Declaration predates the Palestine Mandate which states that part of Palestine when defined belongs to the Jews.

the balfour declaration is complete its a god damn letter which doesnt signify anything. 

when i comes to the state of palestine you must understand that their are many ethnic groups in the region which incudes lebanon/palestine/isreal, so when their borders where made when they were under mandates, such borders were grouped becauseof ethnic groups. so you can classify palestinians as a group and say that they have been kicked out of their homes.

again when it comes to this matter i dont care, both sides have fucked up my country, and i blame the west.
