Just trying to see whether Lionel is trying to erase this history as well.

I am not trying to erase any history, quite the reverse. But I cannot enlarge further until you make up your mind what ‘this history’ is.

I’m not saying the Jewish history means it must belong to Jews. Just trying to see whether Lionel is trying to erase this history as well.

I agree with Newt Gingrich that there is no such thing as a country called Palestine, which was originally used to refer to Israel.

which, after a strange statement stating Palestinians are the same as Jordanians which they are not, Jordan is a Hashemite kingdom, you followed with:

However, the reality on the ground says we should recognize Palestine as a country.

Do make up your mind.

Was North America mostly Native American before colonists moved in? Flatly stating an area belongs to a a group simply because it has a long history there is not an intelligent stand.

MikeN You are not making any sense.

What does this word salad mean, “The term used to refer to a Jewish area has been coopted to describe a different ‘country’?”

Any point you think you are making is so smeared out that it is reminiscent of Heisenburg’s Uncertainty Principle.

More perspective on Israel-Palestine through the lens of AIPAC

You really need to do your homework WRT who occupied Palestine. My mother was very religious being daughter of a Baptist minister so Bibles of many editions were around the house during my early years. The King James Bibles had maps in them. As a youngster I was puzzled as to why some maps had an area marked Palestine whilst others had a similar area marked as Israel. My mother failed to provide an answer as to why this dichotomy existed. Of course it was due to the geopolitical situation in the ME and the publishing dates of the various Bibles, some rather old even in the 1950s.

In short, you are talking through your fundament.
