    Unbelievable. Hundreds of great jobs are provided for Palestinians by an Israeli company, and the Jew haters find fault with it. The Palestinian employees make ten times as much as elsewhere in the West Bank. They are also provided with transportation, breakfast and lunch by the company. And there is actually a Mosque on site for the Muslim employees. The Palestinians love it. Who could not?

    For anyone who might be confused, this (cited) post is what Islamist zealotry (Jihad of the Keyboard) looks like in print.

    If any of those 'palestinian' employees commute from the West Bank you can bet the PLO and PA gangsters extort most of their paychecks from them.

    Is not it funny how Jews from Judea are called occupants, while Arabs from Arabia are considered ingenious people :)

    the Jews of the Levant suffered frequent pogroms and discrimination, long before Theodore Herzl was a sperm.

    Deceased? So what? When did being deceased stopped Palestinians from fighting the righteous fight? Just ask that Palestinian family, who managed to die twice recently - first in Syria, and then in Gaza :thumbsup:

    It's not a red-herring. You effectively justified the ethnic cleansing of one people on the basis of ethnic cleansing committed by others.

    They are, indeed, ingenious. But I suspect the word you were groping for is 'indigenous'. They're that also. Oh yes, and someone who occupies someone else's land is indeed an occupant. The Zionist squatters for example.

    That crossed my mind. I picture a struggle with the gangster where the employee dies, and his Parents blame Israel. You know I used to think that only Americans were getting stupider. But people everywhere are dumber by the day.

    The land has never officially belonged to Palestinians. During Ottoman times or a British mandate times it was a State land. It may have been given Palestinians as a gift, but officially, supported by documentation? I don't think so.

    The squatters are Palestinian occupants.

    according to the UN, much of the land in Palestine was in fact privately owned by Arabs.

    wow, now you're calling the UN and the British liars?

    fascinating.

    During the 1920’s, the British began a process of registering the land to the farmers who cultivated it or residents who owned houses that were built on it. This process continued throughout the Jordanian period

    Uhm... I absolutely call UN liars. But let me be specific; I was talking about israeli settlements on so called "occupied lands", about which Oxfam is so worried and, which are the reason Palestinians refuse to negotiate for peace. Show me the documents that support land ownership claims, and not verbal claims by Palestinians.

    i showed you a map produced by the United Nations.

    you know, the level of denial and disregarding of evidence you guys engage in, is reminiscent of Holocaust deniers.

    ironic huh?

    Show me the deeds of ownership for the "occupied land" plots, and we'll talk.
