1) the whole world, except those with a prejudicial hatred for Jews, KNOWS that
Jerusalem was always the capital of a Jewish ISRAEL.

2) the parts of Jerusalem that were held by Arabs after 1948 were lost when the
Arabs attacked Israel attempting to eradicate her from existence.  Lands gained
in defensive war are rightfully the property of the victor -- that's one of the
oldest tenets of war.

What crap?
The Britsish had their navy out there blocking Jewish refugees who were
escaping the Holocaust in Europe from entering "Palestine". . .
And the British, after the war, were putting Jews into concentration camps in
Cypress.

The Brits didn't give the Jews anything -- one of their parliamentarians did
officially state that it would be FAIR to give the Jews their old homeland back
(this was in the 1920's he(Balfour) said this); but Britain merely handed over
THEIR property (Israel-Palestine) to the newly formed U.N. to divvy up between
Jews & Arabs, so as to provide for a homeland for the Jews who had none, and
yet another religious dictatorship for the Arabs who had plenty. . .

Not even close!  The only "Palestinians" before 1967 were Jewish
Palestinians!
There were no real Arab settlements in Palestine, because the Arabs that were
in the area were strictly nomadic pirates(raiding Jewish farms/communes)

The so-called Arab Palestinians fighting for a homeland are actually ex-patriot
Jordanians, who got left behind after the '67 war!

Poland in no way increased in size -- they barely held onto what was already

Yeah, right -- you actually think Hitler was in any way a VICTIM in his
megalomaniac attempt to become a supreme ruler over an all-'Aryan' world?
(I put Aryan in quotes, because the real Aryans are the blackest of the
northern Indians/Pakistanis!)

The Muslims have not "controlled" Palestine for over 1,000 years!
(especially considering there were no "Muslims" until c. 700CE!)

What "steal"?  Jews bought up swamp & desert land from Arab
chieftains who
claimed ownership of His Majesty's lands, then these Jewish settlers drained
the swamps, irrigated the deserts, and reclaimed this land that used to be lush
with milk and honey, until the Arab invaders let it go to ruin, through their
uncaring neglect (which makes sense considering they knew they were squatters
on ancestrally Jewish lands!)

So you support those who openly declare their intentions to use terrorism to
murder innocent & unarmed women & children?

So shall we hope that al Qaeda runs a political party in your country & wins,
too?

LL> The British controlled Palestine.  The Jews snuck in, through illegal

The Jews BOUGHT land from the local owners of title, then attempted to move in
and farm those lands in spite of anti-Semitism by Britain & surrounding Arabs

LL> The Jews did not buy land from Palestinians - at least not at fair

LL> on that land.  IOW, the Jews stole it.

They bought land from the Arab chieftains in the area, at extremely inflated
prices (considering it was only swamp & desert until the Jews built it up)
