    and both ground their claim on religion.

    No. Sorry, but this is bullshit.

    Palestinians lived in Palestine before any Zionists came, and they lived with Palestinian Jews and Christians. They don’t demand the land because of “religion”… they demand their land, country, identity, and dignity back.

    Big fucking difference. And honestly, it reflects poor knowledge about Palestinians and Palestinian history on your part.

      The reason why Palestinian groups like Hamas want the land completely for themselves is religious. They claim that Palestine is only really theirs when it’s “pure Muslim”. You can read this in the charta of the Hamas and also in the quotes of their leaders.

      How is that not based on religion? Jews were living there before as well and many Palestines want them completely gone because they are Jews.

        I am talking about Palestinians not Hamas. My words were clear up there.

        This equating of Hamas and Palestinians is pretty lame imo.
