Also, for some, something to do with the existence of Israel being viewed as a sign of the displeasure of Allah which will only be assuaged when Muslims once again dominate the area. Also to do with the relentless virulent propaganda they're exposed to.
Yeah - and getting fewer due to persecution from Islamists and Jewish extremists.
Jerusalem is the de facto capital of Israel, even if not internationally de jure.

The mayors of Ramallah, Birzeit, Bethlehem, Zababdeh, Jifna, Ein 'Arik, Aboud, Taybeh, Beit Jala and Beit Sahour are Christians. The Governor of Tubas, Marwan Tubassi, is a Christian. The former Palestinian representative to the United States, Afif Saffieh, is a Christian, as is the ambassador of the Palestinian Authority in France, Hind Khoury.I'm alright JackComment

Originally posted by ProInDisguise View PostWhen did the Arabs violently seize the land from the Jews... are you thinking of the Romans by any chance? The Palestinians are the original inhabitants of the region, most just converted to Islam. The current occupiers of Israel are European Jews who have no connection to the region except through religion. Its the same as a British Christian claiming dominion over Israel for religious reason. Existing Palestinian Jewish populations in the country are discriminated against as well as Jews of colour from countries such as Ethiopia. There are classes of Jews in Israel and White Ashkenazi Jews (of European descent) run the country for their own benefitThe greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

History of the Jews and Judaism in the Land of Israel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histor...638–1099)
Islamic period
Under Islamic rule (638–1099)
In 638 CE, the Byzantine Empire lost the Levant to the Arab Islamic Empire. According to Moshe Gil, at the time of the Arab conquest in the 7th century, the majority of the population was Jewish or Samaritan.[3] According to one estimate, the Jews of Palestine numbered between 300,000 and 400,000 at the time.[70] After the conquest, the majority of the population (probably including many Jews[citation needed]) became Arabized in culture and language, many also adopting the new faith of Islam.[71] The Muslims continued to ban the building of new synagogues.[72] Until the Crusades took Palestine in 1099, various Muslim dynasties controlled Palestine. It was first ruled by the Medinah-based Rashidun Caliphs, then by the Damascus-based Umayyad Caliphate and after by the Baghdad-based Abbasid Caliphs.Comment
