How to determine "truth" when opposed claims each say "mine" ?

[strateguy632]

jews say: israel is mine. Palestinian say: jew stole from us israel is mine.

how you determined the truth?

p. s. truth is important.

[WintersDaughter]

Look at history.

The remains of the second Jewish Temple are in Israel, those are thousands of years old. The Dome of the Rock was built on TOP of it.

There are coins dating back thousands of years with Hebrew writing. There are ancient artifacts with Hebrew writing.

There is nothing that points to Palestine being there thousands of years ago. Absolutely nothing. You also have to keep in mind that the word "Palestine" isn't even Arab.


Bottom line, you have to do independent research.

History and fact determine truth. If we go back through history Palestine and Palestinians in that region cease to exist in under 100 years where as Israel and Jews in that region continue to exist all the way back to the Roman empire. In fact it was Rome that sacked Jerusalem and renamed the surrounding area to Palestina.

[JacobJordan]

To be fair they exist before that but Palestina is the closest mention to Palestine to occur at a similar time as the jews living in the region. Jews have been in that part of the world since somewhere around 3500 bc

Honesty is important. Where perspective is a factor, there is no such thing as truth.

[strateguy632]

but what about ownership?

[strateguy632]

from my perspective your car is mine because i need it, so it isn't truly yours? no such thing as truth?

[Chazmatazz269]

In terms of cars, where most people have titles, i don’t think it applies. But to your point, the homesteading days were rife with property disputes based entirely upon perspective. But don’t forget the other part. Honesty is important. Deeds and titles and such became the standard because some people value greed above honesty. At least when it comes to their own behavior. Isn’t funny how the greedy react when you take something from them? Ell oh ell!
