Very true. But at least they aren't illegally occupying Palestine from the muslims. Therefore, only the non-muslims in Gaza can complain. In fact, who was there before the Jews? Jews were there before the Ottomans, before the muslims, before Byzentines, before the Christians, before the Romans.

Actually my family occupies America legaly, as far as the American government is concerned. The native Americans might object, but then I'll just defer that to the American government.
