Contrary to the popular belief and Mullah preaching, Israel was founded on the lands purchased by Jews from the Arabs in Palestine.This is a load of bull crap, Israel is not an ideological state, its a colony built on occupied land held together by military force.

This was true for all civilizations in ancient times.Israel is like a tent in a desert wind, if its not turned upside down by sandstorms, it will decay and cease to exist as a natural process. Israel is built on a land cursed throughout ages, it has an extremely bad habit of changing hands, history will repeat itself, Israel can only delay it but not stop it.
However, geopolitical scenario have changed in modern times; modern nation states have emerged with internationally recognized territorial claims. Under these circumstances, Israel isn't going anywhere and it have legitimacy like any other modern nation state.
Attempts have been made to eliminate Israel in the past, but Israel have held its own against heavy odds since its formation and also appears to have foreign backing.
Destruction of Israel isn't the way forward. We should think of ways to address the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. And we should also keep a fact in mind that this won't be possible unless both sides are willing to negotiate and make compromises.
IMO; Israel, Gaza and West Bank should merge into a single nation where Muslims and Jews shall co-exist with harmony and equal rights.
Every Pakistani individual cannot claim nativity. A large number of individuals (predominantly Muslims) migrated to Pakistan from India after its independence. We call them Muhajir.Pakistanis unlike Israelis are NATIVE people of Pakistan, we have lived here for 5 millenniums and beyond. Pakistan was not created after a military induced land grab, but instead we won an election then reclaimed OUR land from the claws of colonial British and the Hindutva which desires nothing more dearly than complete hegemony over Muslims, they want to destroy our way of life, erode our customs, shred our beliefs and shove us down a hole of slavery.

Jews have inhabited Palestine for centuries as well. After attaining their freedom from the oppressive Egyptians, they migrated to Palestine; this migration took place during 1800 BC. At that time, Canaanite civilization represented Palestine. Therefore, native Palestinians have roots in Canaanite civilization.
Now, a lot have happened in the Palestinian region throughout history but ancient records reveal formation of a Jewish kingdom in the Palestine at large at some point in history; Kingdom of Judah (founded in 930 BC). Later on, this Kingdom split into two; Kingdom of Judah (identity retained) and Kingdom of Israel (founded in 931 BC).
Unfortunately for the Jews, Palestine have always attracted foreign attention due to its geographical location and rich history. Foreigners invaded Palestinian region a number of times and these incursions eventually led to collapse of the Jewish kingdoms. But Jews continued to inhabit the Palestinian region in some form.

Religion have nothing to do with the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict; it is about territorial claims.
Jews have a long history in Palestinian region. They seized to exist as a civilization in this region at some point but they have bought lands in it with passage of time when they had the opportunity to do so. On top of everything, World War II led to extermination of Jews in large numbers throughout continental Europe and this reinforced their perceptions that if they are to survive, they will need a land of their own. Therefore, the state of Israel came into existence in the Palestinian region, on the purchased lands.We created Pakistan because Muslim people of South Asia was oppressed, illiterate, poor and helpless. It is our patch of land where we have ALWAYS maintained a majority...unlike Israeli Zionists...European Jews shipped into Palestine in 1930s and 40 on-wards. Comparing Pakistan and Israel as 'twins' of sorts is moronic at best. Our story is of survival while theirs is of land grab, murder and establishing an apartheid over the Palestinians.
