should the us end aid to israel, page-62

12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

Question.

Was that a Jewish Temple or a Palestinian Muslim Temple?

13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Question.

Where was it written? In the Old Testament or in the Koran?

15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

Question.

(a) Were the priests Jewish or were they Muslims?
(b) To the son of Havid? Was David an Arab Sheik or was he an Israelite (Jewish)King who ruled over a Jewish Kingdom? (check the New Testament - any version)

In conclusion, I think we can safely assume that Jews/Hebrews were there BEFORE the Koran, before Mohammad,before the Palestinians, after all King David lived around 2,500 years ago, Jesus lived around 2,100 years ago and Mohammud came a distant third, having lived in the 7th century CE or thereabouts.

Now that we have established who came first in the pecking order, what claims do the Palestinians have today? What claim do any Muslims have today? The Muslim hordes took over way back then due to their superior strength, but now the tables have turned, again due to superior strength.

Every archaelogical discovery over hundreds of years and to this very day supports the fact that a thriving Jewish kingdom existed way back then, with it's own language, it's own coins of the realm, its recorded history. Can the Palestinians match that?

And if you quote the St James version of the bible, perhaps you also quote what the Bible says were the borders of Israel.

Jews simply came home to the country from which they were exiled 2,000 years back.

That's a crime?
