    You know why it’s called Palestine? Because the Romans kicked all the Jews out and to add insult to injury, they renamed it that way.

      Good point! They used to live there.

      Does this imply Russia did nothing wrong by taking Crimea? Because it used to be theirs as well not long ago.

      I’m an atheist but since they’re calling to dig into history, and since religious books are technically accounts (though very inaccurate) of what their writers witnessed and knew at the time mixed with superstition, it’s always ironic to me how even the Quran never mentions Palestine and instead always says “children of Israel”.

        Children of Israel refer to a group of people by their beliefs not where they live btw.

        It’s like saying I live in atheism.

        The discussion isn’t who was there first. It’s about who was there when international law became established.
