They are fighting for the freedom to control Jerusalem again.

So their goal is conquest then.


Is it conquest to take back what was taken from you? Is it theft to take
back
what was stolen from you?


Israel is the only country that has ever been there. It has been ruled by
various colonial powers from time to time. The Romans called the area
'Palestine' after the extinct Philistines in order to insult the Jews living
there. But it has always been basically the same country.

The 'Palestinians' are an Arabic tribe that is neither native to the area
nor have they ever had a national identity. Their goal is conquest in a vain
attempt to restore the great Islamic empire that held Israel in subjugation
during the Middle Ages.
