Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians, Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese, etc. But to the radical elements within Islam, that is still too much. The Koran says nothing about Jerusalem. The tradition that Mohammed ascended to heaven from that location has been developed over years but is at best a myth. Meanwhile Jews can trace their roots to Jerusalem all the way back to the days of Abraham, centuries before Mohammed was born.
Peace can never come at the expense of truth.
Treating a 5,000 year old birthright, supported by overwhelming historical, biblical and archeological evidence on an equal plane with illegitimate claims, wishes and wants supported by violence and brutality is hardly diplomacy or integrity. In the midst of this crisis, there is great pain on both sides of the conflict. There are wonderful Christian Arabs who love God like you do, read their Bibles and deplore the present violence as much as the Israelis do, as much as we do. They also should have our prayers and support. The Bible says so.
