There has never in the history of the world been a nation called
Palestine. The West Bank was part of Jordan and the Gaza strip was
part of Egypt until the 1967 War; why was there no call for THOSE
nations to give the Palestinians autonomy? Because those nations
were Muslim and not Jewish. The Palestinians are being used by the
Wahhabists to wage proxy war against Israel after they lost several
conventional wars they waged against them; they would hate for peace
and a two-state solution to be established because it would cancel out
their guerrilla front and their death-cult-primed and explosive-belt-
strapped cannon surrogate murderers.
The grand Mufti of Jerusalem was an Adolph Hitler sympathizer during
the Third Reich, as are many Muslims today, especially the Wahhabists
that populate much of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the West Bank and
Gaza. It is the same Nazism as before, cloaked in religious garb. You
obviously do not know current events and opinions any better than you
know history.
