It all comes back to my point...neither the Israelis, nor the Palestinians are entitled to the land. Americans are not really entitled to America, Australians are not really entitled to Australia, and so on... There was always somebody in these places before the current residents, who were _violently_ thrown out. When I say "entitled", I mean in some overall moralistic, right and wrong sense, which is what the current argument seems to be about. I'd say these nations are entitled to the land, but that's just me.
