This personal waterfall shows you all of 18tvandenber's arguments, looking across every debate.

You have no proof that the Jews only have religious claims. They have many other reason why the land is theirs. Besides, the land is holy to the Palestinians. Does this mean that all of their claims about why they should get the land are religious. No. 'Exactly'.

This does not mean that Palestinians are not killing Jews. They are growing their children up to be against the Jews, who are also being killed by the Palestinians.

Leaving in great numbers does not mean that Palestinians get to come in and takeover the land that wasn't theres.

I wasn't saying that they should get the land because the Palestinians weren't mentioned in the Koran. I was just saying that that land is not just sacred to the Arabs, but also to the Jews.

They are fighting for the land because the Arabs took it over unfairly when they were gone. They want the land because it belongs to them!

How would you feel if you went on vacation for the summer and someone had been living in your house, claiming that it is not yours anymore? Just because many Jews left, in which it was not there choice, doesn't mean that the Arabs get to take over the land that was truly theres! Leaving doesn't mean that the land was up for grabs.

The Jews have also lived on that land for as far back as population was recorded there. Not all of their claims were based on religion, and the United Nations fairly gave them the land, even after they won it for themselves.

They may have forced them out, but if the Arabs had given up the land that the Jews truly own, they may have been able to come to a compromise of sorts. The land is owned by the Jewish people, and the Arabs were the ones who put up a fight. It was even in writing that the Jews had accepted the two-state compromise, yet the Arabs are still at them, killing Jewish people, as they have casualties.

The evidence is also that the Jewish people won it back, have lived there for thousands of years, and they even recorded that it was never an official Arab country.

The land is also very sacred to the Israelis. Why do you think they share Jerusalem? They share it because the land is religious to them as well. The Jews even bring up points about how 'The Palestinians are not mentioned in the Koran'. The Jews also have history on the land, as it has been recorded that they have lived there for at least 3000 years. The land is both historic and sacred to the Jews, as it is the Arabs.

Although owning land shouldn't do with religion, I think that the Jews bring up better points when it comes to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Their first point is that even if the land was truly owned by the Arabs, which I don't think it was, if it was theirs, the Jews won it back by winning a series of wars. The Jewish people, I think, have owned it all along, but they won it back even if they hadn't. Therefore, the land belongs to them today.
