In this sense, what's the difference between Eastern US American Indian tribes and the current Palestinians? Today's Palestinians aren't counting on assistance from the French in order to be relevant, militarily...

Palestine DOES have a point that Israel is an "invented" nation that was forced upon the Middle East after WWII.

I'd be mad, too.

Of course, that completely ignores the history of the Jewish people in the Holy Land. The Israelis may have been in the area just as long, or longer, than the Palastinians.
