 Are you aware that the Jewish people have lived on that same land for over 3,000 years?  Are you aware that throughout that period there have only been 3 sovereign states on that land, all being Jewish states?  Are you aware that the Bible, which goes back 3,000 years, mentions Jerusalem over 700 times? Is there anywhere within present day Israel borders that you believe belongs to Israel?

Glad we can agree on the second point being defined as Terrorism.  Unfortunately, the leaders of Hamas view all the innocent people murdered as occupiers, and thus invaders and legitimate targets.
