The Palestinians have a historical claim to the area. They settled there when their invasion of Egypt pushed them back into the area. The Jews have a biblical claim, but their historical claim is questionable. It just is.

My point here isn't to argue or offend, but as a freedom-loving American, I think we have let our prejudices betray the legitimate Palestinian claims. They have a right too. Some would say they have more of a claim than even the Jews. They deserve better.
