+'''Palestine''' is a nation of the [[Middle East]] occupying some of the territory of [[Israel]].  Historically, Palestinians have lived primarily in [[Syria]] and [[Jordan]]. The creation of the Palestinian state was a means to continue the Arab struggle against [[Zionism]]. Palestine is the home of many terrorist organizations, such as the [[Palestine Liberation Organization]].
-In 1948 Jewish terrorist groups like the Irgun and the Stern Gang (predecessors of the current Israeli government) drove native Palestinians from their homes and lands, committing massacres and resulting in millions of refugees. Arabs in Haifa were literally 'driven into the sea' and drowned by the Jewish terrorist groups. The most infamous terrorist bombing occurred when Jewish terrorists blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.
-Those Palestinians who were not murdered or driven into neighboring countries settled in the West Bank (which came under Jordanian control) and the Gaza Strip (under Egyptian control). Israel has made life as miserable for these people as possible since then.
-The West Bank and the Gaza Strip have been under Israeli occupation since 1969. Israel has moved over 400,000 illegal settlers onto Palestinian territory, in direct violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions.
-There are over 75 UN resolutions against Israel for illegal treatment of Palestinians and Lebanese however, Israel is protected from proper UN action by the US due to the Israeli lobby (AIPAC) paying millions of dollars in campaign contributions to US politicians. In addition the US has vetoed the last 30+ resolutions that would have held Israel accountable to the numerous war crimes that it commits against Palestinians.
-Israel currently holds over 300 Palestinian children and 900 Palestinian women illegally in Israeli prisons without benefit of trial or charge.
-Palestine, according to Christian eschatology, is the place of the [[Battle of Armageddon]] where [[Christ]] will return to the Earth to bring the [[Kingdom of Heaven]].
