Re: The actual historical situation

The area called Palestine was pretty much uninhabited wasteland until the Israelis started developing it.

According to this article
Palestine's Population During The Ottoman and The British Mandate Periods, 1800 - 1948 - Palestine Remembered

the pretty much uninhabited wasteland population of Palestine was 411,000 in 1860, which grew to 1,308,000 by 1946. During this time the percentage of the Palestinian population that were Christians dropped from 12% prior to 1860 to 8% by 1967. These figures are apparently taken from this book:

Institute for Palestine Studies |

This is what I found, does anyone have different figures from other sources?

Actually Following the Teachings of Jesus?

personally, i feel the best argument is found in the new testament. love your enemy. they bomb you, you send them care packages and take care of their poor. suicide bombings? send the family of the terrorist condolences on their loss. ridiculous, i know -- but you will not win this battle killing civilians to fight terrorists. that just creates more terrorists.

Now that it has been advocated, I was wondering if anyone would actually support such a belief, or even if anyone is willing to try.
