Re: Anti-israel thing at my uni...why it pisses me off...
Come on Saieen...
That was originally Jewish land and became Islamic land when Omar ibn Khattab took it over during his caliphate...we took over through conquest...there is no such thing as stolen land...and if there is the jews have a lot to be aggrieved about cos they had that land taken from them plenty of times...
Would you consider us stealing India from the Hindus say?...no we built and empire and we conquered lands...thats not theft...
From a Jewish perspective they have every right to the land and you cant deny they have a case...as do the Palestinians...its just about whos winning which Israel is...
Both sides aren't interested in a 2 state solution but from a logical perspective the Jews are less likely to be interested becuase they have the power...they dont need to compromise...just like palestinians who believe like you that jews have no right to this land and stole this land from us would not be interested in a 2 state solution if they were strong...naturally the weak will compromise...
And as for your last paragraph...when is property stolen...your Muslim today cos Muslims 'stole' someones land...i personally dont believe thats theft...thats conquest which any good empire does but based on your definition we stole India from the Hindus right?...
