Harland, don't intersperse your comments within my post. It makes things hard to follow for the readers.
You falsely claim that the Palestinians (there are no such people) built orchards and homes on land they owned for hundreds of years. This is an outright lie. First there are no "Palestinian" people anymore than there are "Rocky Mountain People". There has never been a nation of "Palestine" during the entire recorded history of the world. The squatters in that area who built orchards or homes, did so on land they did not own. In fact they didn't own a single grain of sand, let alone the houses they built on someone else's land. They didn't own land. They were evacuated from land they did not own and were given some land for the first time in all of humanity in 1949. But rather than be grateful that they finally actually own land, they attacked the Jewish people who were moving in to the land they legitimately and honestly owned. They cowardly murdered women and children rather than face those they claim were their enemy. The Jewish people gave the squatters an adequate amount of time to evacuate the land they NEVER owned before coming in and forcing those who remained to either leave or be killed for refusing to leave. You further lie by claiming the land was privately owned by the fictional "Palestinian" people which again is completely and totally false. They didn't own the land. They didn't own a single square inch of it. Squatters have no rights, and no ownership of land they squat on. It doesn't matter if they squat for 1 day or 1000 years. --- In [email protected], Harland Harrison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Since when do the people of that region follow English common law? > > I don't even subscribe to it. > They may not.
