Ms. Greenberg was doing quite well until this: “Jewish settlements in the West Bank, such as Hebron, have existed for centuries, dating back to before the birth of Prophet Muhammad.” She doesn’t go back far enough, as Jewish residence in Hevron goes back to King David who was king there for 7 years before he made Jerusalem the capital. If that’s not good enough for you, Abraham bought the Cave of Machpelah as a burial place for himself, his wife Sarah, their son Isaac, his wife Rebecca, their son Jacob and his wife Leah (Jacob’s wife Rachel is buried near Bethlehem where she died).
As well, there is absolutely no historical precedence for a “palestinian state” as there has never been such a political entity nor a nationality in all of history. Thus, the idea of evacuating Jews from their homes and/or creating such an entity anywhere in this region is moot and should be stricken from political rhetoric or discussion.
