Dandred: It is just that your question does not make any sense. If I was forced to play your game though, my label would be one that has been in much vogue since 1948: "PALESTINIAN." that suit you? Just ask the residents of Metullah, K'far Tzion, and Tel Chai among dozens of other lesser known Jewish towns.
"What about the USA and Native Americans?" Easy, aside from Reservations which have a high level of autonomy, to say nothing of those that have organised gambling and/or tax free tobacco concessions...I believe that all tribes that still posses a coherent culture and racial seprateness DO have a right to have ALL their lands fully restored and to be paid in full for all pain and suffering in what could easily be called the worst case of genocide on record.
"Who transplanted the Arabs?" They tehmselves. You know precious little of the region or its people. I suggest you start with a good book on the Ottomans, say L-rd Kinross' "Ottoman Centuries." Then aqcuaint yourself with a book on the Arabs now calling themselves "Palestinians, say Kimmerling and Migdal's "The Palestinian People." Then for dessert, anything by Bernard Lewish should give you the very beginning inkling of an understanding of this very complex area.
You see, Arabs did come here in the 700s, with the Sword of Islam and ruled this land, as part of the Khalifa for all of 22 years. After that, it was not until the 1500s that a Muslim sat in power for any period of extended time, ruling of course from Turkey. It was in this era that we see the Arabs now calling themselves "Palestinians" start to drift to this land and lay claim as tenant farmers to certain pieces of land. Most however, as I already said, came from between 300 and 150 years ago, with the bulk favoring the latter years.
In your analogy though, the Jews are the Native Americans. FACT: ALMOST ALL "PALESTINIANS" have less than 150 years on the land. How does that stack against the Anglos who have 500 in the Americas?
"Dig under any house..." Actually, in the "West Bank" alone there were 925 RECORDED JEWISH villages destroyed during the reign of Hadrian. This is just for starters. Would you like to continue? al Quds? the place where Muhammed's magical winged horse transported him to Paradise? Why that is the Temple Mount of course. Anywhere you look., in any Arab habitacion, holy place, or landmark, you will find Jewish history. Most Arabs do not even deny this. Sure, they try to dispel it by such nonsenseas trying to halt excavations on the Temple Mount as if the Western Wall is not proof enough and as if al Bukhari does not speak of it himself. You have alot to learn Dandred.
"In the USA, dig under most houses and you will find Inuit remains." Do you even know which tribe the Inuit are? They are the so called "Eskimos." You will not find many below the Arctic Circle. No danger of the homeowner in South Carolina finding Narwahl harpoons underneath his garage floor. In any event, when Native artifacts ARE found the tribe in question immediately flood federal courts with all kinds of writs and well they should. I fully support the rights of indigenous people the world over. As an indigienous person myself, as is my wife [of another kind altogether], it isan issue close to my heart.
"Who gave the Jews the land, G-D?" I am not the least bit religious, despite my wife's nbest efforts but then converts are always the most intense. The Jews conquered the land in question in two successive waves , the last one ending circa 4500 years ago. This we know from independant histories, as well as artifacts and other archaelogical proof. Arabs on the other hand did not even step into history IN ARABIA until 400 odd years before the Common Era [BC].
As to the Inuit, they came from Siberia in successive waves beginning 20,000 years ago and the last wave finishing circa 5,000 years ago. They or their close relatives can now be found in America, Canada, and Greenland.
Nino: "English as a second language." Actually more like 4th or 5th. Arabic, Russian, Hebrew, Yiddish, then MAYBE English if you do not place LAdino in front of it.
"Conceal myself behind semantics." I do not even know what that might mean.
Give it a rest, you've been sussed.
