"Thought you said nobody was there and nobody wanted it before the jews put their dibs on it (actually before the pommies started a colony for jews).

Nobody apart from the Jews, dummy. And we've had our "dibs" on it when your ancestors were still swinging in trees.

Whenever it was not occupied by Jews, the colony "the pommies started" was just a backwater.

We realized it's natural beauty, despite it's lack of mineral assets, and that's why we have sustained this unmatched dream that we will regain our inheritance.

The British, the UN was just a tool of god's will. If they wouldn't have done it, someone else would have. We would have still got it back.....Someone upstairs cares for us at the end of the day, and if he decides we will regain the promised land, you and the rest of the world can stand on your heads, we will be there for keeps.

Atheists, please ignore the above. You just have to come up with your own reasons as to how and why nature has taken the course that it did. Either way, we are there and like it or not, the Israelis turned that backwater lot into something.
