no, it's not. there's a chunk of land that has been known by that name for some time that has passed through the control of innumerable regional powers, just like a lot of other places in that area, and, um, the rest of the world. next you're going to tell me that "iraq" is 5000 years old. or that germany existed before the 19th century. tell me about italy while you're at it, too.

Some old maps I've seems have Palestine stretching from India, to Syria, to the Saudi line, and back around to Iran.
That's basically the whole mid east nearly.
Boards changed over the years with conflict.
THAT's why we need to say the boards and countries are 'fixed' now, and stick to it. (like what is trying to be done)

Chosing a side based on staus as a country or not is not really rational in the least.

So all those rockets fired into Israel from Gaza during the past 7 years have killed no one. The only way this will ever be settled is through genocide by one side or the other.

Off hand, I'd say that the Israelis have killed more in the past 7 days than the rockets from Gaza have killed in the past 7 years.

interesting.
israel certainly does a better job of killing, huh?
the ratios of total killed to under 18 killed are also interesting.
israel weighs in at 5:1 v the 6:1 ratio of palestinians. so israel does a better job at killing kids, too. well, so much for "random terrorist attacks" v "precision military operations," eh?

golly gee whiz gonzie, when your family is being killed, does it really matter if the killer is a quasi-state terrorist organization or a quasi-terrorist state organization?
really seems odd that the ones who are not "intentionally targeting" civilians somehow manage to kill children with higher efficiency. hmmmm. maybe they ain't so careful.
all of this will simply go away once the palestinians fully accept the fact that they have been and will continue to be third-class citizens in the lands of their grandfathers' grandfathers' birth, destined to serve as a convenient labor source, and fully accepting that any land they hold claim to is subject to arbitrary seizure by the recent-immigrant stooges the israelis jam into their front-line settlements.
