Ok I am good with one state solution with citizenship rights for all Palestinians
It's a shame how the Muslim world treats the children and grandchildren of Palestinians who were renting from the Turks on the wrong side of the river 75 years ago. They receive more humanitarian aid from Christians and Jews, which speaks volumes about what "brother" means to different religions.
In 1947, 90% of the inhabitants of the historic Palestine (west of the river) were Arabs (Christians and Muslims and others). It is not a secret that waves of illegal immigrants happened between 1916 and 1947 under the eyes of British Occupation.
In US so many are fearing the waves of illegal immigration that are happening each day. Why Palestine did not get the same treatment?
I am out of this thread. It seems as far I go to the middle I get pulled to the extreme right ideology.

We are not talking about food and humanitarian aid, we are talking about living free in on your own land. That includes the right to vote and elect your representatives.

If you rent, it's not your land.
Palestinians were living on their land since the whole known history.
Renting from the Turks? Yeah, I believe it as much as I believe that American Indians rented their land. Wait a second, did they rent that land from the Russians?

I condemn terrorism.
Does it make you happy, bitter?
It would if it explicitly denounced Islamic terrorism. Specifically Hamas & Hezbollah to start.

Do you think if a person becomes a terrorist and then kills Americans and themself, (suicide bomber?) should they receive a check for their criminal actions?

My statement is unrestricted. A global one, attacking civilians for no sake but killing is forbidden and condemned, please condemn with me all terrorist acts including massacres committed by Christians and Jewish people and Buddhists too. Please do not tell that no such massacres ever happened.

The MAJOR difference is that when those acts are committed by other than Islamists, they are immediately and soundly condemned by the mainstream members of Judaism, Christianity, etc. In the Muslim world, we see celebrations, the distribution of sweets and the encouragement of children to follow in the footsteps and become martyrs. Your statement is false and misleading as it attempts to create an image of moral equivalency. A good discussion but we still have not reached the point of honesty and openness.

I strongly believe a person claiming to be a Cbristian and commits an act of terrorism is not a Christian. I do not believe a born again saved Christian can commit such a heinous act.
Do Muslims think the same regarding people that claim to be Muslim and commit such heinous acts in the name of Allah?

The rule is if some act is forbidden in Islam and it is well known that it is forbidden among the laymen and the scholars, if an actor claimed it is not forbidden and persisted in his claim, he commited a blaspheme and stopped being a Muslim.

So, does this apply to the Islamic terrorists that have perpetrated acts of terror based on their target's religious beliefs or nationality? Do Muslims consider those that carry out suicide bombings of innocent people martyrs or non-Muslim criminal murderers?
One of the things about Islam is it seems much is subjective and left up to scholars and laymen to determine what is acceptable. Is this a correct assessment? If it is, it leaves a lot of room for bias and individual beliefs to determine what is acceptable and appropriate.
