Jews left the land more than a thousand years ago. Maybe a few stayed but no Jews came to what you say is Jewish land for at least a thousand years. It was European anti-semitism that caused a group of Zionist Jews to decide that since Jews were not liked in Europe (why not?) the Jews needed a place of their own and it didn't matter who was already there. They would have to go . Most Jews, including my great-grandparents, did not go to Palestine. They did not look at the land as theirs. They came to the US and lived decent lives. I am grateful that they did not head to Palestine. But then, had I been born in Israel, I likely would have been a part or 972mag or B'Tselem as I was brought up to know that you cannot take land from another and that if you do you will pay the consequences.

The question is, why is that Arab squatter allowed anywhere near Judea and Samaria? God bless the Jewish re-settlers of the ancient homeland. Well, it’s Jewish land to begin with. The
