This is where you admit you are partisan: "the Jewish people have a legitimate historical claim to the land of Israel."

Based on what? DNA? The Palestinians' DNA gives them a greater claim because they never left their homeland. Religion? Then Christians and Muslims also have "a legitimate historical claim to the land of Israel".

The only legitimate claim to the land that Israel has is the UN resolution that was ignored as early as the massacre at Deir Yassin and has been ignored ever since as Israel constantly takes Palestinian land.

Mind you, I'm pragmatic. Israel exists. There are several solutions to the current state of things--I think historic Palestine should be turned over to the United Nations and become an international land.
