  1. UK did not give away any 'palestinian" state. Because such a nation-state / province / territorial entity or subdivision NEVER existed in recorded history. It is a fictional construct or ethereal myth that was invented, de novo, in the 1970s.

  2. This business about white or brown skin simply does NOT apply in the conflicted region. Both peoples are phenotypically identical, with each group having a wide variety of skin tones from Scandinavian-looking whites to SubSaharan African-looking black people. Plus everything in between.

  3. The natives are the Judeans. NOT those 7th century settler-colonists.

  5. ​ @Thorkhofal  The "Palestine" that was carved out of the defunct Ottoman Empire in1922 was a League of Nations Mandate. What was it's aim? To reconstitute a National Home for the Jewish people, on the basis of their pre-existing historical rights. Thus, coins, passports & flag of this entity were inscribed in Hebrew and showed Jewish symbols. Now,, a Palestine Nation that was entirely Arabic in character, language or symbolism NEVER existed in recorded history. Your Arabic Palestine never existed even as a territorial subdivision any Empire. This "other" Palestine is a mythical construct that was invented in the 1970s.

  6. On the Moon, or in Antarctica. More realistically, the French could give them some of their islands in the sub-Antarctic Indian Ocean eg Kerguelen or Crozet islands. The winter is abit severe there but there are some places with more bitter winters like Greenland.

  8.  @IcarianX  DNA lineages are NOT the key idea, though. That makes it like some crazy genetic cult. The key idea is the preservation & revitalization of an ancient semitic language, written from right to left. The preservation of a lunar calendar, incorporating leap months every 2 or 3 years, so that the. calendar also maintains integrity with the solar year. The millennial use & reintegration of festivals based on the seasons of the Land.

  9.  @MustafaAdelAli  Nope palestinianism is colonial and supremacist. It is settler- colonialist because that is what 7th century imperialism was. It is supremacist because it was based on excluding the indigenous people (Judeans) from returning to their Land.

  12. So create it in Britain.

  13. Except it exists literally nowhere. It is a non-state occupying zero space and bounded by invisible non-borders. A capital-less country without a currency in 2 separate parts, each ran by different non-govts. A true farce of an entity

  14. British Gov't is welcome to create this Palestine anywhere they want in the UK.

  15.  @suhaib791  Nope. Israel could only be created in the Land of Israel. Judeans originate in Judea.

  16. ​ @ismaeladen1204  At the best, Palestine. was a region or area of land. It had no Capital, no Borders, no King, no currency, no army, no archaeology, no history, no national reality. Just as Siberia, Sahara and the American Midwest are Regions. So is palestine.

  17.  @Thorkhofal  Nope. The word Peleset, Philastina etc came into use around 1200 BC. It refered to a small area of the coastal Holy Land that had been conquered by the "Invaders from the sea" which is what the name means in Hebrew letters PLS. This was an Ancient Greek-speaking, pagan tribe originating in Crete. Anyway, by 800 BC, this people had assimilated & vanished from history. Now in 70AD, some 1O00 years later, after the Romans destroyed Judea, they looked around for a new name for the Land. They dug up this old Peleset name and reapplied it to the WHOLE Land of Israel. This name remained to indicate a vaguely-defined region of land & eventually made itself into most European languages.

  18.  @AbdurRahman-hh5sz  Israel existed in Antiquity and was inscribed in many archaeological relics. The Jews always thought of that Land as Israel.

  19. No chance that Israel will ever recognize fakestine ever. October 7 will stay in Israeli history for generations to come.

  20. How can the UK recognize a state that has: NO CAPITAL NO FIXED BORDERS NO NATIVE CURRENCY NO CONSTITUTION or BASIC LAWS CLAIMS A RIGHT TO DESTROY AN ENTIRE NEIGHBORING STATE. A PRESIDENT WHO HOLDS A PhD ON HOW THE HOLOCAUST WAS A LIE.

  21. The Judeans originate in Judea. The "d" sound was lost in Modern English but it still exists in Dutch, German, Latin, Hebrew and Arabic

  22. Make that state you describe in the UK.

  23.  @blockpart2184  But what if the so-called "occupied side" are perpetual religious Head-choppers who seek total annihilation of the other side ?
