What areas / regions, apart from the area / region called Israel, were part of Palestine ?. Did Palestine comprise parts of what are now called Syria or Jordan ? It is good to see a site that gives the "Other" side of the story. The US (so called) press just follows the Zionist party Line. A fact that is almost NEVER spoken about was that a very large percentage of the population of Palestine were Christians NOT Muslims. Again most of the US press NEVER even mentions that a great many Non-Jewish Palestinians were literally bulldozed into the Mediterranean Sea by the Zionists back in the 1940s. Now does that make it OK for terrorists to kill innocent people? NO it does not, however I can understand how a people can get so discouraged that they would do things that they would not normally do. It is also wrong for the Israelis to keep whole towns from being able to work by blocking off all travel venues to people's jobs. Just as Hitler was able to come to power in 1930s Germany because its people were so harshly punished after WW1, I fear that another "Hitler-like" leader will emerge out of a desperate people. We need to remember history, so we don't repeat the same bad mistakes over and over. I'M A TRUTH SEEKER,EVER ONE HAS A RIGHT TO THEIR HISTORY,NO ONE GROUP HAVE JUST HAVE THAT RIGHT! My uncle is a knight for the Catholic church, and he went over to the West Bank a couple of years ago. I learned a lot about the Christian Palestinians in the Holy Land from him, and now I'm writing a paper for my first ever college class on the subject! I JUST WANNA KNOW WHEN THIS WALL IS GOING TO COME DOWN! THEY ARE TREATING PALESTINIANS LIKE ANIMALS IN A CAGE! IF ISRAEL HAD A WALL WE WOULD NEVER HERE THE END OF IT..NOBODY MENTIONS THIS!
