they still are in control of about 50% of the population in the territories.  and since their only position is killing all the jews, its not even possible to negotiate for a state for all the palestianians, since half have no say at all.

1) Nearly all of Jews in Israel in 1948 came from Europe. Even now there is a very high number of 1st year or 2nd gen Jews living there.

2) The Mosque on the Temple Mount has stood longer than both Temples combined. That in itself says a lot for whom has lived in that land the longest.

3) The Jews only legally owned about 60% of the land given to them in 1948 and of course have stolen far more sense then and continue to do so now.

When you look at things with out a biased history lesson you'll see that Israel's creation was the result of racism, European colonialism, and simply that the European Jews invading were far more powerful than the native Arabs who had been under Turkish/Ottoman control. Additionally, the British even broke their WWII agreement with Arabs over Palestine. THey had agreed that if the Arabs work with them to defeat Ottoman's then any area with an Arab majority would fall to Arab control. Palestine is the only area this did not happen... even though in 1945 Arabs (Muslim and Christian) were still over 85% of the population. Hell, in 1948 Arabs were still 60% of the population.... after all the illegal immigration.

They dont really represent a big chunk, palestinians are muslims and a muslim's way of greeting others is through saying 'alsalamu alaykom' which means 'peace be upon you'... basically, this alone shows how the islamic religion encourages them to be peacefeul and what hamas is doing is not peace. and please dont pull the argument towards hammas as my discussion is generally about palestinian people as a whole

False. Jewish settlers are equal to anything Hamas says or does. Difference is the settlers are backed by a long-term plan of the offical Israel government to continue taking Palestinian land and pushign them into Lebenon, Jordan, and Egypt.... well now not Egypt but just keep them pinned in Gaza.

Like I said if Hamas is halting the supposed "PEACE PROCESS" why would anyone be in favour of that? Let alone condoning acts of violence.

Alaikum- Salaam Essam.

I like how people like to say well Hamas this and Hamas that... however, they are no different than the Jewish Settler movement.

Settlers constantly harrass, kill, kidnap, terrorize the Palestinian people. However, much of their actions don't make it to mainstream news and they of course have the protection and support of Israeli military and courts.

They are the front line of the slower paced forced removal of the Palestinians from what's left of THEIR land.

Settlers aren't the government. Hammas is.

Settlers are protected by the government in every way including new legislation. Settlers are simply an arm of the govnerment. Really not much of a distinction.

When the Gaza strip Palestinians overrule Hammas government, then there will be a possibility to reach a peace treaty. While Hammas decides for more than a third of the Palestinians, I think it's impossible to have peace in the Holy land.

Yes it's totally the Jews fault that they got conquered time and time again. Many Jews never actually left, they just got assimilated into the most recent people to conquer them.
