Palestine - The twice-promised land

The war against Israel was initiated by the Palestinian Arabs, had they won that war, they would have stolen ALL OF ISRAELI LAND. Why have you ignored that obvious point?

The following years after the Arabs lost that war were marred by many many suicide attacks from the Arab areas, blowing up busses, marketing areas and any areas were Israelis could be killed. This forced the Israelis to make it more difficult for these terrorist acts to be committed. The Israelis decided that the answer was to make it more difficult for these terrorists to gain access into Israel and that stopping them should take place on their land. So began the first defense of Israel should take place on Palestinian Arab land. 
I believe it is right and proper to accept that the Arab decision, still held by many, to destroy Israel, is the initiator of all the problems that followed.

The land around what is now Israel is a "homeland" referring to an ancient book with no clear history.
The traceable homeland of Ashkenasi jews is Eastern Europe. The homeland of Sephardic Jews is northern Africa and southern Europe.

The homeland of all people is Africa.

So where are you placing your marker and more importantly why?

OTOH the homeland of Christianity is in what is now Israel too.

I dont subscribe to the arbitrary divine granting of a piece of land to a faith.

The whole idea was justified by the generations of bigotry against a people of a certain faith. It is a foxhole which is protected by the very Christian and Muslim persecutors which made a place of safety inevitable. You may as well call it Mea Culpa.

But i cannot justify the erosion of the population which lived there under the Ottoman Empire and before that. The Israeli slow land grab is IMO cause for an international agreement UNIMPEDED by the USA.

Neither do I, if you read and digest my posts you would know that.

You have decided to ignore the history of a hundred plus years of persecution of the Jews by the Arabs. Not looking at where that persecution is largely to blame for the state of affairs that have existed in recent times. 

It is true that the Palestinian cause has deteriorated since they lost the war to annihilate Israel, that deterioration has taken place largely because of the continued aggression by the Palestinian Arabs and their buddies in the terrorist groups. And now apparently because an extreme right-wing government in Israel is every bit as aggressive to the Palestinian Arabs as they have been to Israel. The Israelis have always fought fire with fire, the terrorist groups of Hamas and Hezbollah are both very aware of that fact.

In short you do not look at both sides of the coin choosing to put all the blame on the Israelis.

Then how is that you seem to be unaware of (i.e. never mention) the aggression and the violence by the Arabs against the Jews over the last 100+ years, you seem to leave that information down to me. Giving the impression that you only look at one side, that being the state the Arabs have helped to get themselves into.
I haven't seen you putting any of the blame onto the Arabs for any of the problems they suffer in Palestine.
Perhaps you need to be a little more objective in your research on the problem.

Because i refuse to play the blame game and take sides.
I have been discussing this issue via social media for over 15 years.
What you read and what you believe is your choice. I dont have to post content to please you.
Your strawmanning doesnt help adult conversation.
I dont know what media you pay attention to but there has been universal condemnation of Hamas, particularly among world political leaders.
And FYI, i dont care what justification someone has for claiming someone else's land, including and foremost, religion.
You dont see Christians stealing parts of the ME because someone wrote that Jesus walked for 40 days somewhere there.

There is enough aggression of the subject without you starting more because i havent written something in support of your clear bias.

I do have a sense of who the real victim has been in the last 50 years. But i am not prepared to weigh victimhood over the last 3000 years.

Acknowledging faults on both sides is not playing the "blame game" or taking sides.

False accusations like "Strawmanning" only allow you to continue to fool yourself, it is not debate.

The media I watch is not influential upon me, I prefer actual research, not biased or public opinion.

I have been debating the problem for over 20years.

There has not been anything like the same level of condemnation of Hamas as there has been against Israel.

It's good of you to at least acknowledge that you disagree with the Palestinian Muslim Arabs attempt to destroy Israel and to grab all of the Israeli land for themselves, and that it (there many attempts) was the wrong to do. I would just add that it heralded a bunch of unexpected consequences for the Arabs, i.e. it backfired.
You asked 'Why the Jews chose Israel". 
The only one with a clear bias on this subject is yourself
Exactly, over the last 50years, despite the repeated attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah? But I can understand that you condemn what the Right-Wing Israeli government that has inflicted no nonsense reprisals on the Arabs and have gone OTT at times. So in your mind all the aggression and violence that has led to this position doesn't count. If you do not understand that you have disclosed your absolute bias by that comment, then you have no place in this debate. 

Why not watch the video on the "Short trip through Jewish history" thread. It is a short trip. In The Mind Zone.

I post only the truth.
