I didn't put Saudi Sportswashing machine, I put the place name of new castle.Probably known to the police already. From Saudi Sportswashing Machine apparently but his name is of Asian origin.

So not illegal then.Granted UK asylum on his third attempt.
Nope new law in many countries, extra cuddlesI thought asylum granted seekers who commit a serious crime face deportation?
Amazingly he was granted asylum after his sex offence !!Nope new law in many countries, extra cuddles
That's not how claiming land works. Anyone can pick any particular date in history and use that to show that a part of land belongs to a particular group.
Picking a random date, most of Southern England belongs to Italy, pick another and it belongs to Denmark, etc, etc.
Left or made to leave?That only argues the Palestinian point. In this dynamic Israel is the equivalent of Denmark or Italy trying to claim that back. It's actually more ludicrous then that because they left en masse before the Roman's and almost 1,000 years before the Danes.
Israel is a democracy - it is not controlled by religion. The current government lean that way but that hasn't and won't always be the case.
That land didn't mean anything to anyone until some people showed up that they didn't like. The population density pre-WWII was virtually nil, nobody built it up, nobody had any form of anything resembling a city there. It only became important when the people who believed some paedophile who told them his imaginary friend hates Jews didn't want the Jews there.
Israel and Palestine are about 27,000km² combined. Population of non-Jews before the Jewish population started rapidly increasing was around 275k.This idea that you keep repeating that the land was empty and no one cared is something that has been constantly used to 'legitimise' the creation of Israel. As with the lie that the Nakba was driven by the Palestinian leaders telling their people to flee, both ideas have been disproved so many times yet keep resurfacing.
The population density of mandate Palestine was higher than that of neighbouring countries such as Transjordan or Syria so it wasn't 'empty' and your (somewhat questionable) argument that there were no cities or development (Jaffa was a fairly busy city and port for example) suggests that if the population wasn't urbanised then the ground was actually even more occupied then in more 'developed' countries.
Not sure what you mean by 'it didn't mean anything' - the land meant everything to those living on it. There may not have been an overt political movement but initially there was no threat (or knowledge of the British lies) so how would you expect people going about their lives to display how much they cared for their land??
Mandate Palestine had a greater population density than 1930s Ireland as a non-regional comparison. Think of the uproar if a new colony of non-indigenous people had suddenly been given the rights to Ireland in 1948 as it was considered primitive and unoccupied.
Israel is a partial democracy as the allowance of the vote and representation does not extend to all the people in the land it occupies, both legally and illegally. It's constitution and founding ethos is explicitly theocratic (and also pushes the 'river to the sea' concept so calling Palestinians out on that is hypocritical and as we are seeing now, actually the intent of the current government).
Israel and Palestine are about 27,000km² combined. Population of non-Jews before the Jewish population started rapidly increasing was around 275k.
That's 10 people per square km (or, in simple terms, uninhabited) before Jews started turning up and people decided they didn't want them there.
Left or made to leave?
Australia currently has a population density of 3 people per square km (and it has 'cities' cos that is obviously an important factor!!!!!
Think I'll just go and claim a large chunk of it as 'uninhabited' and therefore free to a first come first serve basis. that how it works, right?
They don't need to justify it, it just means they didn't abandon the place intentionallyIf they were made to leave does that justify their claim to land?
I suspect you could wander off into the uninhabited (and largely uninhabitable) parts and live without anyone noticing or caring.Australia currently has a population density of 3 people per square km (and it has 'cities' cos that is obviously an important factor!!!!!
