You show your clear bias with your ridiculous claim that "historically" Palestinians have a bigger claim. But thanks anyway, I was hoping some biased poster would come along in order to illustrate why we tend to ignore this kind of biased, self-righteous drivel.

About those EU troops, we can see just how effective they are at keeping Hezbollah from arming themselves in southern Lebanon. Thanks for the offer, but I don't think any Israeli leader is going to invite any more EU troops to whine and bitch about Israel and sit and do nothing about the arms smuggling they were supposed to be stopping.
Its probably numbers within living memory that provide the basis of the claim.

Unless one thinks that somehow a Jewish immigrant who's family has been away from the area for a thousand + years has equal claim to a land as some Arab villager who lives in a majority who've actually been there for the last thousand years.
