Apologies to the Palestinians.
Seriously, the dumbest nations in history are those that have welcomed foreigners into their country, only to have their country pillaged by the intruders.

There is no such place as Palistine. Isreal was totally defeated by Rome in 70 AD. The people of Isreal were driven out of their country. Many went to other parts of the world, but also many remained. The new Roman Governor renamed that area Palistine. The Israeli people continued to call it Isreal. WikiWikidodaday there's no such place as Palistine.

Actually, that region was once called Philistine. 77 percent of ancient Philistine is now modern day Jordan. They don't want any of that land though. For some reason, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Israel is Jewish and Jordan isn't.
Now we have Hamastan and Fatahstan.
My question is, how long before they're trying to lob rockets at each other over Israeli territory.

Originally posted by Rajk999They do have a nation. It is called Jordan, but Jordan hates them more than Isreal does. Why is that?
