[QUOTE="Arcangl86, post: 77527400, member: 344714"] Only one of the claims made is questionable, and we don't know the whole context of it. He responded to four claims. Let's look at that. Yes, the UN did partition Palestine, granting some of the Mandate to the new nation of Israel and reserving the rest for those who were already living there. What is also true is that Gaza and the West Bank were part of the lands given to the Arab Palestinians and was then seized by Israel in several wars. And this is the one where he may have a point. It is true that forced conversions are against Islamic law. It's also true that they happened anyway. But while that is true, there are historical records of non-Muslims living in peace more or less in Muslim territories. So this one is a lot more nuanced then the book presents. This is simply stating the Biblical narrative, that Jesus was born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth. And honestly, even if he never left Bethlehem, he would still be a Palestinian because at that point in history Palestine referred to a region, not a nation or country. Palestine did exist and the region had been called Palestine for centuries before Jesus was born. [/QUOTE]
