And in this entire issue I am as Machavellian as I can pssibly be. The author clearly and correctly points out that historically, as far as land ownership goes, might makes right.  So let Israel get off its left-leaning duff and conquer all of Israel once and for all and proclaim to the world loudly and clearly: \"THIS LAND IS OURS!\" \n\n\n\n");
AddReply(148355,"Comments","menahem","RBS","09/13/04","Good article.\nWrong in some details.\nEngland didn\'t conquer anything - apart from the highland Scots at Culloden.\nPlease substitute Britain wherever you\'ve put England: generally it was the Scots & the Welsh who did the conquering. Maybe, when it came to fighting the Turks, the Brits were led by an Englishman - Allenby - but that was an exception !");
AddReply(148354,"PALESTINIANS & PHILISTINES","Gary Fitleberg","","09/13/04","The Philistines and the Palestinians of today are not the same people.\n\nTo compare them as one in the same is historically inacurate as well as misleading.\n\nThe Philistines were a mediterranean seafarying people who lived and settled in the Gaza area.  They are now extinct as a nation and people.\n\nThe Children of Israel, Hebrews, Israelites, Jews (from the tribe of Judah or area of Judea) were later known as \"Paletinians\" especially during the Ottomon and British occupation periods.\n\nExamples: Palestine Post, Palestine Symphony Orchestra and Palestine Electric Co were not run by Arabs.");
AddReply(148353,"this sounds like a message: no right no might...","Mark","","09/13/04","A clear message telling the Pals/Philistine to keep fighting otherwise they won\'t get any right in their birthplace. You accuse the Pals of violence, when you want to evict them from their birthright lands even before 1948 (read Herzl). You don\'t grant equal rights to Arabs citizen of israel, or absorb as you claim the Pals.\n\nCircular logic (or lack thereof) if right of conquest is the rule then you have no more rights than the Arabs, and therefore they should fight & conquer it too. Hell with your god blessing they count only to you, no need to sugarcoat it with just cause, there is none. ");
