This is what I understand about the conflict.
Judah was conquered by Roman Empire somewhere before Christ. Judah became a Roman province.
Around ~70 AD, a Jewish rebellion occured. Romans completely smashed the rebellion. Jewish temple destroyed and Jews expelled from Palestine/Israel. Jews subsequently scatter all over the world. Jews effectively become stateless.
Fast forward to early 20th century. Jews start to push for a Jewish homeland.
Fast forward again to post-WWII. The British,the mandate holders of Palestine/Israel at the time, grant the Jews a state in the area.
UN divides Israel/Palestine into a Israeli controlled zone and a Palestinian controlled zone with Jerusalem under international control. Arab nations aren't really happy about it. They attack Israel. Arab nations lose this war. The Palestine controlled areas lose large portions of territory. Lotsa Palestinians flee and become homeless and stateless.
That kinda sums up the roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
I'm not entirely clear about the details. I might have gotten bits and pieces here and there wrong. Feel free to correct it.

Anyways , long story cut short.. lets fast forward liaw it because current scenario. Promised land. So ya.. like u said. U not wrong , just maybe T.S may need to go deeper.
So T.S i suggest u read history , the quran and bible and surrounding region histories to truly understand why.when. who.how.Historians believe that the Jews were expelled from the Holy Land by Romans somewhere in 70 AD. The incident in regards to Egypt is a completely different matter.

u know, its really heartening to know that even great pillars of the christian faith faces down time, doubts, etc. it makes me feel better about myself.
i mean, some churches' believers are always prancing around, and life is like full of rainbows, sunshine and butterflies, it just don't feel real.x2. Over the years,its always been the "underdog" saints that impress me the most. Great successes don't impress me. The Pope doesn't impress me. John Calvin doesn't impress me. But guys like Peter, Paul, St Augustine, worthless pieces of junk that God gracefully used. These are the guys that inspire me the most. I guess I'll be adding Mother Teresa to that list...

GUN members, I'm calling a radio silence on sgforums. All alliance related matters are forbidden for public discussion until further notice. Sorry ah GPA, I consider it a somewhat of an alliance emmergency.
But if want talk trade and tech deal, be my guest. But I discourage discussion on alliance political,military and diplomatic issues.

I am curious. Thinking of selling away tech.Yes.
