You gotta admire the utter delusion of people using the "give it back" argument. Islam is a religion that spread through military conquest and massacres. There is no such thing as a square meter on this planet where islam spread peacefully.
So can we please give back all the land ? Of course, there would be nowhere for muslims to live at all, least of all Palestina. It was not arab land, it was not muslim land. Nor was Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, or Egypt. Can we give back the land, kick out everybody who currently lives there.
The truth is as sad as it is obvious : nobody is clamoring for the land to be given back because ... they're all dead. Egypt was mined for "black gold" (slaves for muslims). Anything south of the delta was black in ancient times. Carthago (Tunisia) was filled with black people. Mined to death. Palestine, in ancient times, was filled with Jews (as everybody knows I guess), and so was Saudi Arabia. Before that ... we don't really have any data, but given the location of the region, I would imagine it changed hands many times. Iraq was a nation of Indians, not arabs.
I find it hard to believe people using arguments like that can be reasoned with at all. The utter absurdity of it.
