“There is no such thing as Palestine”
– I am Palestinian. My ancestors have lived in Palestine and were called “Palestinians” for 100 generations. I still have my parents’ Palestine passports.
– Before history is completely rewritten by Zionists, research plainly shows that the land has been called “Palestine” and her inhabitants “Palestinians” since 500 BCE.
– The United Nations partitioned “original Palestine” into two states: Israel (55%) and Palestine (45%) — (U.N. Resolution 181 — 11/29/1947).
Conclusion: Palestine has existed (by that name) for over 2500 years. Although the Zionist state of Israel was illegitimately formed on 78% of the land (which was conveniently overlooked by the U.N.), the remaining 22% is internationally recognized as Palestine. There are millions of Palestinians living in the world:
– In Palestine (living in terror under illegal Israeli occupation)
– In Israel (living as 3rd class citizens)
– In neighboring Arab countries, Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
“Israel has the right to defend itself”
In theory, everyone has the right to self-defense. However, this right is forfeited when the party claiming that right is in the midst of an illegal or immoral act.
Example: If a criminal breaks into a home and lays siege upon it, the homeowner has the right to dispel the intruder — and in turn, any violence used by the criminal to repel the homeowner’s resistance can never be misconstrued as “self-defense” (although that ruse has been attempted many times by criminals in American courtrooms).
