Not that I support the Palestinians (nor the Israelis), but your comment begs the question... how is it that you classify the Palestinians as squatters; but somehow a bunch of English dudes floating across the ocean in the late 1400s, planting some flags on North America and said "this is ours now" are NOT just squatters? Would you argue that we don't own this land, that the native americans have legal claim to it? If not, then why?
