Default Palestine Questions

I found this article written by a Japanese person, whose background, I know nothing about.

Check out this URL:

These are interesting questions which, if held to the same accountability, would be interesting for a pre-1947 Israel (not relying upon solely Biblical sources)

What an ass! His whole argument is based on the premise that
"If you are so sure that "Palestine, the country, goes back through most of recorded history", I expect you to be able to answer a few basic questions about that country of Palestine..."
Which is bull because noone is saying that Palestine was an official "country" in the first place.

The population there at the beginning of the century was pretty homogenous - about 80% muslim arabs and that was after zionists had already started pouring in (but jews were still at <10%). The reason that Palastine was not a real country is that in the time when most new countries were formed - after WWI and II when the colonial powers were "giving up" their colonies the British did not give this part of their empire to the long-time inhabitants as they and everyone else did everywhere else but declared it as future state of the jews who where only a 10% minority there, with an even larger minority in land ownership.

As to the background of the writer - who needs a to read up on background when he conveniently provides statements like this:
The so called "Palestinians" have only one motivation: the destruction of Israel, and in my book that is not sufficient to consider them a nation" -- or anything else except what they really are: a terrorist organization that will one day be dismantled.
