Radar's second last post
There were Jews living in Israel for the past 3,000 years, but they have no been the majority since before the 5th century BC. Between the 5th and 12th (??) it has been Christians and then Muslims up to this day. So both Christians and Muslims have just as much right to that land as Jews have.

They built houses with their own money on land they never owned. In fact the UK didn't give any land to those people until 1947. The ones who lived on the wrong side of the line had to move out.

Wrong. They have a right to private property ownership too. Building a house on someone else's property does not grant you ownership. They can also lose land in military disputes as has happened for thousands of years. When they attack Israel and they lose land, they have no valid complaints.
Both these arguments are basically the same so I will combine them.

One question. How would the Palestinians have gotten "ownership" of the land they build their houses on?

And once again, you are foolishly support colonization. The people that live on the land should have control over it, not some country over a thousand miles away.
