00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.760
certainly the Arabs have a much greater

00:00:02.159 --> 00:00:05.480
claim because they've had a longer

00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:08.599
history of inhabitants of actual

00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:10.080
residents in Palestine than the Jews did

00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:11.679
if you look at the history of Palestine

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.639
there's been some quite interesting work

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.679
done by biblical

00:00:13.639 --> 00:00:18.359
archaeologists you'll see that the

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:20.400
period of actual Israelite as it was

00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:23.680
called in the Old Testament dominance in

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:26.240
Palestine amounts to about 200 to 250

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:28.160
years but there were moabites there were

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:30.199
jebusites there were Canaanites there

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:33.200
were Philistines there were many many

00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:35.879
other people in Palestine at the time

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:38.719
and before and after and to isolate one

00:00:35.879 --> 00:00:40.760
of them and say that's the real owner of

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.719
the land I mean that is that is

00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:44.399
fundamentalism because the only way you

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.800
can back it up is say well God gave it

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:49.000
to us yes but I mean Christians think

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:50.399
that God gave it to them and Muslims

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.960
think that God gave it to them I mean

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:54.800
that's not a rational argument nobody

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.760
has a claim that overrides all the

00:00:54.800 --> 00:00:59.519
others and entitles that person with

00:00:56.760 --> 00:01:01.280
that so-called claim to drive people out

00:00:59.519 --> 00:01:04.000
I mean that's the

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:06.360
point I mean Jews have a claim in I've

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.159
never denied that of course they do but

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:09.439
is it a claim that that can tell a

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.119
Palestinian well you've got to leave

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:13.799
this house because I I mean I got it

00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:16.119
3,000 years ago I mean it's true I come

00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.840
from Poland or from Brooklyn but I have

00:01:16.119 --> 00:01:21.119
a bigger right to this house than you do

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.840
so get out that's I I I I I'm sorry I

00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:26.040
disagree with that with that kind of

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.040
logic uh
