I thought I backed up what I said with numerous references. The bible, while not a historic document certainly associates Jews with Israel for a good thousand years. Yes, I am well aware that the Ottoman Empire gave shelter to the Jews. They also didn't have a problem with Jews buying up and settling on the land. The Ottoman Empire is Turkish, by the way

Beduoin Arabs (nomads) had a problem with Jews settling there. It often meant that they could no longer pitch their camps in areas now purchases

Next, I am not American, and if you want to classify Americans where they stand on the political spectrum, that is fine with me. However, I am not so brainwashed that I buy into either the right or the left in America.

Gaza is run by a group of terrorists - inhumane savages. If you cannot accept that, there really is nothing more to say.

Best of luck to you.
